During the hearing, Matthew McCoy detailed chilling claims about OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who allegedly asserted that he would "buy a congressman" to bypass certification issues raised by the Coast Guard, showcasing a troubling disregard for safety regulations that ultimately led to the Titan's catastrophic failure on its mission to view the Titanic wreckage.
Testimony revealed that Stockton Rush displayed an ego-driven approach, ignoring advice from friends and internal analysts warning against the safety of the Titan's design. His belief that regulations would stifle innovation led to a concerning lack of adherence to safety protocols, which played a significant role in the submersible's tragic implosion.
