OceanGate CEO's Rule-Breaking Design of Doomed Titan Submersible Raises Questions.

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who died in the fatal mission to the Titanic wreckage, admitted in a 2021 video to "breaking some rules" to build the tourist submersible. Rush said he broke the rules with logic and good engineering behind him, despite deep-sea submersibles "as a rule" not being made with carbon fiber and titanium. Several peculiar aspects of OceanGate and its submersible have emerged, including security concerns raised by an employee who was ultimately fired, and Rush's preference for inspirational captains over experienced ones.
