OceanGate CEO's Risky Design and Cost-Cutting Measures Lead to Titanic Submersible Tragedy

Karl Stanley, a friend of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, claimed that Rush knowingly designed a dangerous submersible called the Titan as a "mousetrap for billionaires." Stanley warned Rush about potential issues with the carbon fiber hull, but Rush dismissed his concerns. The Titan ultimately imploded during a trip to the RMS Titanic wreckage, resulting in the deaths of five people, including Rush. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the implosion.
