OceanGate’s former finance director said she was “freaked out” when CEO Stockton Rush asked her to become the Titan subermissible’s pilot even though her “background is in accounting.”
After David Lochridge, the vessel’s previous pilot, was fired, Rush tapped the finance director to head the sub, she told The New Yorker. Without Mr Lochridge around, “I could not work for Stockton,” she said. “I did not trust him.” She resigned after finding a new job.
