Dallmyd’s Titanic submarine dive cut short due to ‘malfunctions’ just days before five were killed

A YouTuber has revealed that he was close to death after his trip in the same OceanGate submarine was cut short just days before it imploded.

Jake Koehler, aka Dallmyd, took a short ride in the Titan ship, but was told he couldn’t explore the Titanic shipwreck due to “malfunctions.”

The self-proclaimed “treasure hunter” was supposed to dive 4,000 feet to the seabed of the North Atlantic, but communication problems and harsh weather conditions forced it to be canceled at the last minute.

He only experienced the 3,000-foot test dive and said he felt like he was dodging a bullet when the harsh reality set in that he could have died.

On Friday, he shared a haunting video of his time aboard the craft, zooming in on the infamous video game controller used to control the 22-foot submarine.

He said, “It’s crazy to think that when the weather cleared up and the conditions were perfect, Stockton would look up at me and say, ‘Do you want to go?’ just like the five who died on that same submarine.’

As the self-proclaimed “treasure hunter” prepared for the journey, disturbing tests revealed that the team began noticing problems just days before five people were killed while diving to see the Titanic.

During a routine technical dive, one of the two computers controlling the submarine was spotted “acting a bit.”

Due to the steering problem, choppy seas and wind, Jake’s trip was cancelled.

After a few days of bad weather, the engineers found the controls to be in good condition for a test dive of 900 meters with the passengers.

The crew of passengers laughed as the cramped ship dove nose-first into the ocean, but it wasn’t long before communication problems with the mother ship began.

“If the fog hadn’t rolled in and canceled the dive, who knows, we might have left that platform and we might have imploded,” Jake added.

Jake said he feels like he dodged a bullet and is heartbroken for the divers’ families.

He said, “I didn’t know these people very well, but they treated me very nicely and I lost some friends.”

In the video’s caption, Jake wrote that he didn’t pay for a ticket because he was asked to share his experience with his 13.4 million YouTube subscribers.

Jake is one of many people to have had a near miss with the ship, as Ross Kemp rejected the trip after his TV company decided the ship was ‘unsafe on every level’.

The British documentary filmmaker, 58, was eager to join the mission for documentary marking the 110th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage from Southampton in 1912.

After an expert production company carried out checks, they decided that seeing the shipwreck on the seabed of the North Atlantic would be too risky.

The Titanic Five died instantly when the submarine suffered a “catastrophic implosion” just 1,600 feet from the bow of the wrecked ocean liner, the U.S. Coast Guard announced Thursday.

The nerve-racking search for the men on the Titan, a 21ft submarine operated by OceanGate Expeditions, came to a devastating end when a Canadian ship’s remote-controlled submarine found debris on the ocean floor.

Search and rescue officials say the men likely died on Sunday — before military aircraft using sonar buoys detected what they say could be SOS sounds in the water.

The victims include OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French Navy veteran Paul-Henri (PH) Nargeolet, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, who just turned 19.

“The implosion would have produced significant broadband noise that the sonar buoys would have picked up,” US Coast Guard Vice Admiral John Mauger said at a news conference today.

It would have been instant death for the men, some of whom paid $250,000 each to see the famous shipwreck.

In a heartbreaking blow to their families, experts say there is little chance of recovering any of their remains.

“This is an incredibly brutal environment down there. The debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the ship. We will continue to work and search the area down there – but I don’t have an answer to the outlook at this point,” said Paul Hankin, a deep-sea expert involved in the quest said.
