Adele paused her Las Vegas residency concert to poll the audience about the Titanic submersible a day after it was announced that it had perished under the sea.
The US Coast Guard announced Thursday that the Titanic-bound vessel suffered a ‘catastrophic implosion’ and perished in the Atlantic Ocean.
In the video of the concert uploaded by one fan on TikTok, Adele said to her audience of 4,000 people,
“How crazy was that submersible story? Absolutely crazy,” she said. “It’s so tragic.”
“I have been debating with my friends on our group chat. Everyone’s like, ‘I would never do that.’ But that’s a lie, because a lot of people will do that,” she continued.
“Before this week, how many people, if they could, would go down to the very very bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic? Raise your hands,” The Rolling in the Deep singer said as she sat alongside her piano during the show.
The majority of the people said they would pass on the chance.
She then asked how many of them would never embark on that journey, and the audience cheered and raised their hands in affirmation, including her piano player.
She then asked her fans if they would go on a space expedition in a rocket ship, and the reactions were mixed.
“I wouldn’t do it either, but only because I’m a bit of a p—y. I’m a scaredy cat of everything,” Adele said. “I wouldn’t even go on roller coasters. But also, I just genuinely don’t have an interest in the deep sea or space.”
Still, the singer who threw a Titanic-themed party on her 30th birthday said she finds both subjects ‘interesting.’
It was revealed on Thursday, June 22, that the Titan submersible that went missing on Sunday suffered a ‘catastrophic implosion’ which resulted in shattering pieces of the unfortunate vessel and killing everyone on board.
The US Coast Guard confirmed that a debris field on the ocean floor had been discovered in the search operation for the missing Titan submersible.
In a devastating update, the company behind the deadly voyage confirmed the news of their death and said all five people have been lost. This means that their bodies may never be recovered as they have perished in the unforgiving ocean.
“This is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor, and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” said Mauger, the First Coast Guard District Commander.
“I can only imagine what this has been like for them, and I hope that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time,” Mauger added.
Minutes before the press briefing, the company that operated the Titan sub issued a statement and confirmed that the crew has perished in an implosion under the deep sea.
“We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, have sadly been lost,” OceanGate said in a statement.
“These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans. Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time. We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.”
The people on board have been identified as Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions; British billionaire Hamish Harding; French dive expert Paul Henry Nargeolet; and prominent Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman.
The debris was considered as evidence that the missing sub shattered after suffering an implosion. Now experts have explained why and how the sub might have imploded and what would have happened to the five humans on board.
