OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who went missing aboard his Titan submersible vessel along with four other passengers on Sunday, told an interviewer he didn't want to hire a bunch of "50-year-old white guys" like other submarine companies because he wanted his team to be "inspirational."
quote:
Former OceanGate director of marine operations David Lochridge -- one of those "50-year-old white guys" Rush wanted to avoid hiring for not being "inspirational" enough -- was fired by Rush in 2018 after he reportedly blew the whistle on OceanGate by raising safety concerns over their first-of-a-kind carbon fiber hull and other systems.

This is deep.

Hopefully they had a copy of this while being inspirational in that tin can...

Passengers of the titan were crushed to hear this

He created his own inspirational iceberg without a 50 yr old white dudes help. That’s crushing.

I hope his diversity was of comfort to him as the sub imploded.

I would like to hear how Stockton feels about 50 year old white guys who know shite about submersibles now?

Surely you don’t need white guys to suggest putting a tether on that little pill box before you drop it into the great abyss.

Rush's Titan sub went missing on June 18th while descending to the Titanic wreck site off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada in the Atlantic Ocean and has not been heard from since.
From the article, maybe encouraging “anybody” to drive the sub wasn’t the best idea.

They paid $250K for a Titanic experience. A Titanic experience is exactly what they got.

His comment may have been polishing the turd that was a shitty idea that most 50 year old white guys with knowledge would not get near.
How come this thread appears to be anchored?

Very interesting development if true.

Wait...why is this anchored? Is it fake news?
