Josh Gates, host of the television show Expedition: Unknown, has revealed that he declined to travel to the Titanic wreckage site on the now-missing Titan sub due to safety concerns. The Titan, operated by OceanGate, disappeared on a voyage to the site, with no trace of the five occupants discovered after an extensive search. Gates had previously taken a dive in the OceanGate Titan sub and refused a trip to the Titanic due to his safety concerns about the sub. There has been criticism of the design of the Titan and its Titanic dives, but Gates underlined the significance of the Titanic in world history, making a trip to the wreck take more courage than the average person might have. The Titan’s occupants included OceanGate founder Stockton Rush, former French Navy commander Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British businessman Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and Dawood’s 19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood.
