Pretty gross how people are using this to pump up their notoriety, from Beast here to the others saying they "knew" this would happen. Even if it were true, it's not something you start bragging about. People died. Disgusting.

@Ech ehhh, someone posting "that could have been me" on their personal twitter account isn't really "pumping up their notoriety", more like... a normal human reaction to learning you avoided death

blame cnn for making a "news" story out of it

That "someone" has 21 million followers and makes a living on notoriety.

Seems like an irrelevant point. What Mr Beast said was that he was invited to join for a trip via sub down to the Titanic. Assuming the same company involved with the implosion offered the invite, that has to be traumatic for him - which he seems to be expressing via that tweet.
