"I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it," MrBeast tweeted.
Far-right conspiracist Zachary Vorhies promoted the idea that the sinking of the Titanic and the OceanGate submersible disaster were both by design.
The family of Hamish Harding, one of the passengers who perished on the Titan submersible, criticized his alma mater for throwing an underwater themed ball with submarine decorations.
A Twitter user had predicted the Titan's implosion in September 2022, while a TikTok user had placed it on her 2023 predictions bingo card.
Debris from the Titan submersible indicates that a catastrophic implosion destroyed the sub and instantly killed the five passengers onboard.
The tragedy of the Titan submersible that imploded during its expedition was an outlier, given that the maker of the vessel opted against certifying the vessel, defying industry convention.
The submarine vanished during a dive down to the Titanic wreck on Sunday. The confirmation of the sub's loss came after an extensive search mission.
Other experts in the industry and a whistle-blowing employee raised alarms in 2018, criticizing OceanGate for opting against seeking certification and operating as an experimental vessel.
"The debris field here is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vehicle," Mauger said.
According to reports, the other submersible, called Limiting Factor, is owned by video game developer Valve Software CEO Gabe Newell.
