OceanGate's CEO Stockton Rush once had to abandon all planned Titan sub dives after the vessel's batteries accidentally flooded during an expedition.
on the dive mission in 2010.He added that a "culture of safety" was not a priority for Mr Rush,Sidney Loomis, a youth ambassador who was also on the 2010 mission, said someone "left the battery hatch open overnight and they flooded".After that, the entire expedition got cut short.
Since the fatal Titan expedition last month, a number of people have spoken of their concerns about Mr Rush's attitude to safety, which he viewed as a barrier to innovation. A number of cost-cutting measures and risky design choices may have also contributed to the catastrophic implosion of OceanGate's Titan submersible, experts have previously suggested.The Titan's hull was designed to be shaped like a pill, rather than a more standard sphere shape.
This is was in an attempt to fit more people inside to join the $250,000 trip to see the Titanic wreckage. Submersible pilot Randy Holt, right, communicates with the support boat as he and Stockton Rush, left.The unusual shape of the hull may have caused pressure to distribute disproportionately, which may have caused it to 'collapse like a soda can'.Five people died in the catastrophic implosion in June, including Mr Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul Henry Nargeolet, businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman.
