OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who died on the deep-sea submersible alongside four others, ignored critical data leading up to the vessel’s implosion in June 2023, according to a new report from the U.S. Coast Guard.
The 335-page report released Tuesday revealed that OceanGate had “critically flawed” safety practices and a toxic workplace culture — and that Rush’s “negligence” contributed to the deaths of those on board.
