How I escaped joining ill-fated Titan ocean adventure — Ned Nwoko

Billionaire and senator representing Delta North senatorial district, Ned Nwoko, has narrated how he could have been one of the people on board the Titanic submersible, which suffered a catastrophic loss of pressure that imploded the vessel, killing all five passengers onboard.

Nwoko, in an Instagram post mourning one of the passengers, Hermish Harding, said; “I have lost a very dear friend and business partner. Captain hermish Harding. We both went on a very dangerous expedition to the Southpole Antarctica few years back.

“He was a gulf stream pilot who flew across the world in a record-breaking expedition by 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 researches 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 to 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.”
