17 warnings OceanGate CEO ignored before Titan sub imploded with five onboard

The deep-sea vessel was on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage around 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, when it imploded last month, killing the five people onboard

OceanGate boss Stockton Rush, the reckless CEO who died onboard the doomed Titan submersible, repeatedly ignored warnings his vessel was a deathtrap that could kill someone’, amid concerns over safety.

The deep-sea vessel was on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage around 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, when it lost contact with the tour operator an hour and 45 minutes into the two-hour descent, with the vessel reported missing eight hours after communication was lost.

After days of searching, wreckage from the submersible was recovered from the ocean floor near the Titanic after the implosion, which killed all five people on board.

Rush previously bragged about ‘breaking rules’ before dying alongside British adventurer Hamish Harding and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood and Frenchman Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
