The CEO of the firm behind the Titanic expedition that has sparked a frantic search for a missing submersible in the Atlantic previously insisted the mission was "safe".

Despite expressing some concerns, Mr Rush remained steadfast in his belief that the expedition was safe in a candid interview conducted late last year
