Rush tried to "make light" of the situation and attempted to reboot the vessel's system, Weed said.
A documentary cameraman who took a test-dive in the Titan submersible said OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush got "flustered" and tried to make excuses when its propulsion system failed and comms went out during a trial run.

Brian Weed, a camera operator for the Discovery Channel series "Expedition Unknown," told the Associated Press that the vessel's communication systems went offline and its propulsion system failed during a May 2021 test-dive. This happened in relatively shallow depths of around 100 feet, Weed said.

"You could tell that he was flustered and not really happy with the performance," Weed said of Rush. "But he was trying to make light of it, trying to make excuses."

Weed added that Rush then tried to reboot the submersible's system. The CEO also attempted to use the vessel's touchscreens to troubleshoot problems with the craft, Weed said.

Weed and his team were working on a documentary project featuring the OceanGate submersible. But the team decided not to take a full dive in the Titan after because of concerns about the safety of the vessel's carbon-fiber hull, among other reasons.

Following the test-dive, Weed's production company asked an unnamed consultant with the US Navy to review the submersible, the AP reported. This consultant warned Weed and his team about the Titan's carbon-fiber hull and raised concerns that it would not remain fully effective with multiple deep dives.

"I felt like every time the vessel goes down, it's going to get weaker and weaker," Weed told the AP. "And that's a little bit like playing Russian roulette."

Josh Gates, the host of "Expedition Unknown," tweeted on June 21 that he "walked away" from the chance to film the OceanGate submersible because of "safety concerns."

"We had issues with thruster control," Gates told "The Today Show" on June 22. "We had issues with the computers aboard, we had issues with comms. I just felt as though the sub needed more time, and it needed more more testing, frankly."

All five passengers on the Titan, including Rush himself, were declared dead after the submersible imploded during a June 18 dive to the Titanic shipwreck.

Representatives for OceanGate did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside regular business hours.

Wow, are you guys still in touch ?

PBAT should be wary of these people.. they will say we are talking too much till something bad will happen. You don't recognize a sitting president and expect to get allocations from FG?
Alex Otti is infact an illegitimate governor in Abia cos there is an existing judgement of Federal High Court nullifying his victory. The usual hypocrites are looking for manhood at tribunal but won't obey a Federal High Court ruling on Otti.

XYZo:
Why do you guys keep attacking yorubas . Do you think Obidients are only igbos?

Do you know the number of yorubas that supported Obi ? That Tinubu is a yoruba doesn't mean Yorubas should take the blame for his actions. This kind of behaviour will further alienate other tribes from the obidient movement as I have seen that ut has transmogrified into a tribal stuff .

I have Asiwaju support group membership card. So sometimes I get free fuel and most of the times a buy N100 per liter.

By the way, my location is Ekiti.

YouandiAllofus:
Chioma has a name widely known already.
All she needs to do now is build a reputable brand, get busy and she can forget that assurance trickster for life.

OldBeer:
I remember when ibos were jubilating as if they had won world cup during Assurance era. Their loudness and caustic behavior worsened when she born boy. According to dem, Chioma position is solid as she don born "heir".

They thought Yorubas discriminated against gender like they did and refused every advice to the contrary.
Yoruba women suffered during that period ehn...
But see now. See who dem dey use shiit rub for face and she no fit do anything because na Davido hold knife and yam.

He is a miracle working God
