However, he is far from the only person to make such a claim in the wake of the disaster.īritish millionaire Chris Brown, a friend of victim Hamish Harding, gave an interview to the U.K. Though diving 13,000 feet to the remains of a ship that sunk over a century ago certainly is not outside the realm of possibility given the extreme nature of Donaldson’s content (previous videos are titled “I Survivied 50 Hours in Antarctica” and “I Paid a Real Assassin to Try and Kill Me”), we may never know for sure whether he actually may have been a passanger on the doomed submersible, as a representative for Donaldson did not immediately return a request for comment. (The message in question was in blue, seemingly indicating that it was sent by Donaldson rather than received by him.) While some, such as Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, expressed their relief that Donaldson had declined the invite, others questioned the veracity of his claim to begin with. The response to Donaldson’s tweet was fairly mixed. The team would be stoked to have you along.” “Kind of scary that I could have been on it.” To corroborate his claim, Donaldson added a screengrab of a text message purportedly sent from the person inviting him onto the vessel, which read simply, “Also, I’m going to the Titanic in a submarine later this month.
“I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no,” MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, tweeted to his more than 21 million followers. On Sunday, a few days after news broke that the missing Titan submersible that had captivated the world had imploded and claimed five lives, YouTube giant MrBeast became the latest person to claim proximity to disaster by posting that he too had almost been on one of the vessel’s final trips. Everyone has a cousin or a boyfriend’s sister or a friend of a friend who claims to have almost been in, say, the Twin Towers during 9/11, or having narrowly escaped the jaws of death through a twist of providence that saved them from certain doom.
