OceanGate, the company behind the Titan submersible vehicle that went missing over the weekend while descending to the Titanic, said Thursday that all five people aboard the sub "have sadly been lost." Statement from OceanGate Inc.The Coast Guard said debris found 1,600 feet away from the Titanic wreckage "is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber" of the Titan, ABC News reports.
As I reported Tuesday, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush -- who 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" -- was warned by a "50-year-old white guy" employee in 2018 that their first-of-a-kind carbon fiber hull was not safe and could implode without warning.
This video shows what a catastrophic failure of carbon fiber looks like: [Embed starts at 4:39] Those onboard likely died instantly when the hull failed rather than having to wait days as their oxygen supplies slowly diminished. Every day people put their trust in 50-year-old white guys for a reason. They may not be "inspirational" the way a young "LGBTQ+ American" who takes her straight coworkers to drag shows is but they're as dependable and competent as it gets. Those who would demonize them or ignore their contributions as foundational pillars of our civilization do so at their own peril.
