“I want to show people worldwide that while the ocean is extremely powerful, it can be wonderful and enjoyable and really kind of life-changing if you go about it the right way,” Connor told reporters with the Wall Street Journal.
Conner told the Wall Street Journal he is confident the $20 million vessel, the Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer, can make the voyage multiple times.
“Patrick has been thinking about and designing this for over a decade. But we didn’t have the materials and technology. You couldn’t have built this sub five years ago,” Connor told the publication.
“You know, what we need to do is build a sub that can dive to (Titanic-level depths) repeatedly and safely and demonstrate to the world that you guys can do that, and that Titan was a contraption,” Lahey told the Wall Street Journal.
Lahey was a critic who declared the OceanGate’s approach predatory. Many whistleblowers in the industry came forward with concerns over the sub’s ability to handle the voyage, as the company opted to skip many safety steps, including certification through the American Bureau of Shipping or Europe’s Det Norske Vertas.
Connor did not specify a date for when the voyage would take place.
When: May 11th at 2 and 4pm
Mrs. Pricket called for help and a growing crowd of Miamisburg residents was able to quickly overtake Martin as he fled with the girl. He dropped the girl and ran but was pursued by the mob halfway to West Carrollton and captured.
Martin was preparing to jump into the river but, anticipating his actions, a man from the crowd threw a bottle at him and struck him on the head, leaving a severe gash. Martin was in a state of shock from which he did not recover until after his arrest.
The child was taken back to her parents, suffering no physical injury but was traumatized by the incident. Martin was a 29-year-old man, deemed a degenerate by the papers. He was partially intoxicated when he was arrested and claimed to not remember even seeing the girl. Standing before Mayor Reiter, Martin hesitated as if deliberating before entering a plea of guilty. He was bound over to the grand jury and his bond was $1000. He was placed in County Jail in Dayton.
