Archival footage enriches the narrative, highlighting Rush's unwavering determination and confidence in the Titan's safety, countered by Lochridge's apprehensions that went unheard.
Lochridge said he had to persuade Stockton to let him accompany him on the voyage, which included paying passengers, after he decided to pilot it himself.
In the documentary, David Lochridge claims that Stockton Rush ignored his warnings about the Titan submersible's safety, ultimately leading to a fatal disaster.
