ArticleBody:An Ohio real estate developer is the latest billionaire planning to visit the Titanic in a deep-sea submersible. Larry Connor confirmed his intentions during a recent Triton Submersible profile for The Wall Street Journal, which also revealed that Triton’s co-founder Patrick Lahey will pilot the $20 million, two-passenger 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer.
” Multiple investigations into the fatal event are ongoing, including reviews by the US Coast Guard, the National Transportation Safety Board, and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. Unlike Titan, all of Triton’s submersibles, including the 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer, adhere to internationally recognized DNV-GL safety standards. Triton’s previous submersibles have been employed during the Five Deeps Expedition and the filming of Blue Planet II, and counts James Cameron as a stakeholder.
