OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush sent an email to an expert saying he would “shut down the company” before he would “operate an unsafe sub”

In his email exchange, Rush said: “I made it clear after our dive that I will not take nonessential crew, clients or media in the sub until I am confident that the hull is safe.

Rush and OceanGate have come under intense scrutiny over the sub’s safety and lack of certification, with industry experts criticising their approach.Last week it was reported that Rush was “flustered” on a previous dive when communications on the sub failed. He said that during a May 2021 test dive, in which he and his team travelled down 100ft, the sub's communication systems went offline and its propulsion system failed.
