How Nigerian Billionaire Escaped Death In Titan Expedition
Nigerian billionaire, Senator Ned Nwoko has narrated how he escaped being part of the submarine expedition to the ruins of the Titanic which consumed his family friend and business partner, Hamish Harding, who died alongside four others inside the submarine, Titan.
Nwoko on Friday said that he would have been part of the trip because he was invited having gone on a similar expedition to Antartica in 2020 alongside Harding. He said that his inauguration into the 10th senate as senator representing Delta North, however, prevented his involvement.
He made the revelation on his official Instagram account.
He said:
“I have lost a very dear friend and business partner, Captain Hermish Harding. We both went on a very dangerous expedition to Southpole Antarctica a few years back. He was a Gulfstream pilot who flew across the world in a record-breaking expedition by the Guinness world record for circumnavigation of the earth some years ago.
“He descended into the Mariana. He also invited me on his space shuttle last year and this very Titan ill-fated adventure but I was tied down with national duties. Above all, he was a partner on the various research into eradication of malaria in Africa project. He was very enthusiastic about it and always gave his support at every given opportunity.
“His last message to me was this last Sunday when he told me they were ready to dive into the Titanic if the weather permits. He loved adventure and challenges. My heart bleeds for his dear wife and kids who have become family friends over the years. We will surely miss his wealth of experience.”
GWG.ng reports that besides Harding that other casualties in the Titan disaster included OceanGate founder, Stockton Rush; French diver, Paul-Henri Nargeolet; Pakistani businessman, Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman.
Meanwhile, Nigerians have been congratulating Senator Nwoko, a billionaire made popular following his marriage to the actress, Regina Daniels over his escape from the Titan disaster.
