Speaking to the media about their recent tragedy, the Dawood family says that CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, personally flew to England to assure them all that the trip on the Titan sub would be safe.
Mr Dawood's wife, Christine Dawood, said that Rush spoke to the family about the sub's design and safety but technical details of the trip remained unclear.
Mrs Dawood says that Rush believed that the trip was extremely safe, even assuring them that's it is more dangerous to cross the street than it is to take a ride in his sub.
