After deleting his Facebook post which showed him posing at the concert venue, Brian Szasz, whose stepfather Hamish Harding is among the five passengers onboard the missing submersible, says he’s ‘not sorry’ for going to the show.
AceShowbiz -The stepson of British billionaire Hamish Harding is not apologetic for attending a Blink-182 concert amid the uncertainty surrounding his stepfather’s fate. Brian Szasz has defended his decision to go to the show during the high-stake rescue mission to find his stepfather and other four passengers onboard the missing Titanic submarine.
“Yes I went to @blink-182 last night,” Brian posted on his Instagram Story on Tuesday, June 20 along with a photo of him at the venue. “What am I supposed to do sit at home and watch the news? Not sorry this band has helped me through hard times since 1998.”
Brian Szasz is ‘not sorry’ for attending Blink-182 concert while search for his stepfather Hamish Harding is currently underway.
Brian revealed he went to the concert just hours after he shared on Facebook that his stepfather is one of the passengers onboard the missing submersible. “Hamish my stepdad is lost in a submarine thoughts and prayers that the rescue mission will be successful,” so he posted on Monday.
In another post uploaded hours later, he shared a picture of him smiling while posing at the concert venue. “It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the blink-182 show as it’s my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times!” so he claimed.
He, however, later deleted the post, noting that his mom Linda “asked me to delete all related posts. Thanks for the support.”
Taking to Twitter, the audio engineer based in San Diego credited the band members, Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, for cheering him up during this difficult time. “My stepdad Hamish is on this submarine lost at sea,” he tweeted on Monday night. “I’m devastated but coming to the San Diego show tonight so you guys can give me hope and cheer me up.”
The Titanic tourist submarine was carrying five people when it went missing on Sunday, June 18. OceanGate lost communication with the submersible named Titan almost 2 hours into its journey down to the wreckage of the iconic boat that sank in 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The Titan was roughly 900 miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and around 13,000 feet deep in the water, when it disappeared. It has a 96-hour emergency supply of oxygen onboard, which has likely dwindled to about 40 hours remaining. The U.S. Coast Guard has begun a search for the missing vessel and the passengers onboard.
“Our entire focus is on the crew members in the submersible and their families,” OceanGate said in a statement. “We are deeply thankful for the extensive assistance we have received from several government agencies and deep sea companies in our efforts to reestablish contact with the submersible.”
Other four passengers onboard the vessel are identified as CEO Stockton Rush, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood.
