The CEO of the Titan submersible that vanished and imploded while visiting the Titanic ruins had joked on a Canadian radio show about “what could go wrong” before the ill-fated expedition.
In the clip audio resurfaced through the new Channel 5 documentary, “Minute by Minute: The Titan Sub Disaster,” OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush spoke to St John’s Radio on Feb, 9, 2023, about his upcoming voyage to the shipwreck.
Describing the nature of fitting four other passengers inside the tiny submersible to get a glimpse at the Titanic more than 12,000 feet below the Atlantic Ocean, Rush joked “What could go wrong?”
“For many it’s haunting,” he said about those who would be afraid to embark on such a trip. “When I’m down there driving the sub, it’s a different experience for me… I don’t get to absorb it until I get to the surface.”
This is a developing story.
