The Netflix documentary "Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster" investigates the 2023 Titan submersible implosion, highlighting the eccentricities of CEO Stockton Rush. Through interviews and evidence, the film reveals how Rush's personality traits, including arrogance and narcissism, influenced the company's direction. The documentary also explores the submersible's carbon fiber construction vulnerabilities to deep-sea pressure, pointing out critical failures in design and leadership. Rush's aspirations as a billionaire explorer and his privileged background further contextualize the tragic incident, which led to the deaths of five individuals at sea and an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard.
I worked for somebody that is probably borderline clinical psychopath. Definitely a narcissist. How do you manage a person like that who owns the company?
Rush was not a billionaire, but he had money to burn nonetheless. His ambitions were often compared to billionaire explorers like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
