Inside the Heartbreaking Moment OceanGate CEO’s Wife Faced the Unthinkable During the Implosion—New Documentary Unveils Shocking Details
It was revealed that the submersible had been operated by a video game controller with leaders in deep-sea exploration warning Stockton Rush five years prior that his company’s “experimental” methods could end in a “catastrophic” disaster.

His response was to slam those worried that these questions regarding the Titan’s safety were “personally insulting” and that the claims that he was “going to k–ll someone” were “baseless.”
He then added that he was “tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation” and saw the regulations as a barrier to his development.
At the end of the day, however, his mistake cost lives. And the wife of Shahzada Dawood and mother of teenage son Suleman is pointing fingers at the “ego and arrogance” that could have easily been avoided.
“I wanted to hear the confidence of the person who built it, who ran the company, but also he surrounded himself with literal experts,” she told BBC. “I mean, one d–ed with them. If you have an expert like this with you, I mean, you don’t doubt.”

She continued, “The arrogance of the people in charge when they think that they’re above everything. That really gets to me.
