OceanGate boss Stockton Rush, who died on board the doomed Titan submersible, ignored previous warnings over his vessel described as 'death trap that could kill someone'.
The deep-sea vessel lost contact with the tour operator an hour and 45 minutes into the two-hour descent while on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage around 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland. The vessel was reported missing eight hours after communication was lost, reports The Mirror.
After days of searching, wreckage from the submersible was recovered from the ocean floor near the Titanic after the implosion, which killed all five people on board. Rush previously bragged about 'breaking rules' before dying alongside British adventurer Hamish Harding and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood and Frenchman Paul-Henri Nargeolet, it was claimed.
