OceanGate's Titan: A Tragic and Costly Failure.
TL;DR Summary
The CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, and four passengers died when the Titan submersible imploded on its way to the Titanic. Rush defended his unconventional approach to designing the sub, which included using off-the-shelf parts, and declined to seek certification from a safety agency. Concerns about the Titan's safety were raised as early as 2018. Despite the tragedy, some people will continue to seek adventure and take risks.
