The story of multimillionaire Vegas tycoon Jay Bloom and his son Sean is more Titanic than most. They were scheduled to join the doomed Titan submersible voyage but backed out at the last minute due to Sean’s astute judgement. They avoided a watery grave, but the tragedy hasn’t deterred their desire for deep-sea exploration. But hey, when did any Vegas gamester back away from a good roll of the dice? ๐ฒ๐
Sean was the life-saver here, listening to his instincts and calling out red flags. Apparently, these included OceanGate’s CEO, Stockton Rush, steering a multimillion-dollar underwater vehicle using a… Logitech video game controller?! ๐ฎ๐ค๐ญ
Sean, leveraging his common sense, wasn’t just about to join a submersible expedition controlled by a video game joystick. His gut told him something else wasn’t right tooโthe design and build of the vessel itself. Though the Titan had previously completed successful voyages, Sean didn’t believe it would withstand the intense pressure at those deep sea depths.๐๐ข๐ฅ
As we all know, sadly, Sean’s gut was right. The Titan did implode, taking the lives of five passengers, including Rush. Their spots had been given to another father-son duo, Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. As Jay and Sean mused, it could have easily been them instead. A chilling thought, isn’t it? ๐ฅถ๐๐
Despite the brush with potential disaster, Jay and Sean’s deep-sea dreams haven’t sunk. They’re still down to explore the depths, but with the “right person”. Now, who exactly would this “right person” be? Someone with more than video gaming skills, hopefully? ๐คท๐ฑ๐น
While it’s easy to lay blame, Jay believes that Stockton Rush’s decision-making came not from a place of recklessness, but passionate devotion to his project. But could that passion have clouded his judgment? And aren’t we all sometimes guilty of letting our passions run a bit too wild? ๐ค๐ญ๐
So, here’s the deep sea mystery: How many more of us are willing to take the plunge, to reach those uncharted depths, despite the odds? And more importantly, can our love for exploration justify the risks? The Blooms have their answer, do you have yours? ๐๐ค๐
