Popular YouTuber DALLMYD has shared a harrowing account of narrowly escaping a fatal submarine expedition to the Titanic wreckage, which was subsequently cancelled.
His vlog, detailing behind-the-scenes experiences with the OceanGate crew, gains newfound significance following the confirmed destruction of the submarine and the loss of five people onboard in what is now being referred to as a “catastrophic implosion.”
Dodging a Bullet: Mission Cancelled Not Once, But Twice
The expedition, labelled “Mission 3”, had DALLMYD onboard the OceanGate submarine. It was due to be cancelled twice before ultimately being called off entirely.
The first cancellation followed issues with the submarine’s controls, causing the CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, to express concerns over the safety of the mission.
The second cancellation was prompted by adverse weather conditions, specifically a dense fog that made the expedition impossible.
As a result of these combined factors, DALLMYD was spared from being on the ill-fated mission, leading him to express that he felt like he had “dodged a bullet.”
Inside the Doomed Titanic Submarine
In a video since released by DALLMYD, viewers can gain a unique insight into the lead-up to the expedition, including interactions with the OceanGate crew, some of whom lost their lives in the subsequent disaster.
The YouTuber offered viewers an up-close experience of the preparations, from the malfunctioning controls to the weather challenges.
He shared footage from inside the submarine, capturing the claustrophobic environment within its thick, steel walls.
Although DALLMYD and the crew were fully submerged and prepared for the expedition, the video ends prematurely due to the mission’s cancellation, becoming a haunting documentation of the tragic event.
Recounting the Expedition that Never Was
While DALLMYD had not paid to be part of the Titanic sub expedition and held no ill feelings towards the crew, he expressed in his video that he would have willingly taken part had the conditions been ideal.
The entire experience, as documented in his vlog, stands as a chilling reminder of the fatal disaster that ensued.
The YouTuber also took the opportunity to express his condolences for the five individuals lost during the mission, highlighting the tragic human cost of the expedition.
The Aftermath of the Titanic Submarine Disaster
The cancellation of Mission 3 may have saved DALLMYD’s life, but the subsequent catastrophe has sent shockwaves through the online community and beyond.
As investigations continue into the cause of the submarine’s implosion, DALLMYD’s vlog serves as a poignant testament to the risks involved in such daring deep-sea expeditions.
The incident is a stark reminder of the fine line between adventure and danger, forever captured in the haunting footage of a mission that narrowly avoided becoming an even greater disaster.
