A 335-page US Coast Guard report into the June 2023 Titan submarine disaster blames OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush for creating a false sense of safety about the sub’s reliability. The report revealed that Rush ignored multiple warnings about the submarine’s dangers, with poor testing procedures and flawed design contributing to the explosion that killed five people during a Titanic dive. The report also highlighted inadequate training, faulty sensors, and increased financial pressures as factors leading to the disaster. It stated that if Rush were alive, manslaughter charges would have been recommended. The investigation concluded that the tragedy could have been prevented.
