It turned out that Rush, the company's owner, who died along with four other passengers in the Titan submarine, disregarded the safety instructions by joking that "basic screams" would suffice. He was traveling to the shipwreck to view it. A Titanic explosion, which occurred last Thursday and reached the region of the wreck at a depth of 3,800 meters, was reported to have killed five individuals on board. Stockton Rush, the owner of OceanGate, was among the affluent and daring Titan victims.

It turns out that 61-year-old American Rush did not heed any of the vital warnings regarding Titan. Filmmaker Rob McCallum noted that Titan is untrustworthy in many letters he wrote to Rush: "You put your customers and yourself at risk. Do not operate this submarine until the Titan is approved by an outside agency. Until a submarine has been classified, tested, and proven, it should never be employed for commercial deep-sea diving activities. You are putting an entire industry at risk," he wrote. But Rush answered, "These are baseless cries; I'm sick of industry players using the security argument to thwart innovation." James Cameron, the director of the movie "Titanic", claims that he warned OceanGate several times that Titan was unsafe.

I'm sick of industry players exploiting the security rationale to block innovation," he replied.
