When five voyagers climbed aboard the Oceangate Titan vessel, they had no idea that it would be the last thing they would ever do. Having centered his career around expensive challenges, MrBeast is wiping his forehead in relief that he turned down an invitation to join them.
The Titan made news on Sunday when it came up missing and the Coast Guard was aware that it had imploded but that news was kept from everyone hoping the passengers would be found in time before their oxygen supply depleted. The vessel was not made to go as deep as it did when it dove down to visit the infamous Titanic that sunk back in 1912. Quite frankly, Stockton Rush, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood, and son Suleman Dawood were actually pretty brave because after seeing the submersible and learning how it operated, most people would have refused to take the trip.
In fact, according to many news sources including NBC, Suleman was terrified himself to go on the trip. He had expressed his hesitations but ended up boarding the vessel anyway. Despite the alarming amount of jokes that have resulted from the tragedy, it was very sad what happened and MrBeast — the rather famous YouTuber — is thanking his lucky stars today that he wasn’t part of it.
Why would MrBeast turn down the invite?
The universe said “not today Mr Beast, you’re meant to make videos. “

It is interesting that he would have declined the invitation though since his reputation is built around expensive stunts and this fits perfectly in that category. It would be nice to hear what he has to say about why he didn’t go.
This just might be one of those times when MrBeast has an epiphany that something bad was going to happen and it paid off.
He has fans who agree that it was an intervention from a source way bigger than himself. Divine intervention, the universe, and karma are just different ways to say that MrBeast is a very fortunate man today.
So glad you said no, that’s terrifying. Was there something that stood out that made you decline going?

James Cameron wasn’t the only one who thought the submersible was unsafe for the trip to go as deep as the sunken Titanic but he’s a good reference to show how unsafe the trip was and maybe MrBeast just exercised common sense.
If James Cameron, the Director of the film TITANIC, and his support team called the concept used for that submersible – UNSAFE, the pilot of the Titan, a good friend of Cameron’s should never have agreed to pilot it.

Some Twitter users are disputing the claim that he was invited at all. With as many followers that he has across his social media platforms, he would have been a shoo-in, but it’s a good thing he wasn’t on it.
