The negligence exhibited by the chief executive of the tour operator responsible for the Titan submersible, which fatally imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, contributed to the deaths of four people, a report has concluded.
The US Coast Guard said OceanGate Expeditions “leveraged intimidation tactics… to evade regulatory scrutiny” before the implosion of the deep-sea vessel which led to the deaths of five people, including chief executive Stockton Rush, in June 2023.
