OceanGate CEO Refused to Hire ‘White Guys’

http://nationalfile.com/oceangate-ceo-refused-to-hire-white-guys/

The CEO of OceanGate, the company whose submarine is lost searching for the Titanic bragged that he refused to hire 'white guys.'

Audio emerged of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush bragging that his company does not hire ex-military old white guys. OceanGate’s sub has been stuck at the bottom of the ocean. OceanGate is the latest company that specializes in travel to hire pilots based on race, not qualifications. American Airlines recently admitted they hire pilots based on race and not qualifications, as well.

Multimillionaire Backed out of Titanic Sub Trip, Claims Company Was 'Cutting Too Many Corners'

The hours tick by, as the world continues to hold out hope that the deep-sea tourists who were exploring the wreckage of the Titanic in a sub are still alive.

As my colleague Streiff wrote earlier on Wednesday, the Titan, a commercial submersible, lost contact Sunday with its surface support ship, just under two hours after it began its journey to 12,500 feet below the waves.

Though the air supply on the submersible runs out Thursday, there was fresh hope that the crew might still be alive Wednesday when aircraft-deployed sonobuoys detected “banging” at regular intervals.

Aboard the Titan are Hamish Harding, a 58-year-old British businessman and explorer; British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman Dawood, 19; 77-year-old French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush.

Now, in an exclusive interview with U.K. publication The Sun, a British multimillionaire says he was supposed to be one of the passengers on the Titan, and explains why he decided to cancel.

... Skip ...

But as he learned more details about the project, Brown says he became uncomfortable with what he was hearing. He started to suspect OceanGate “was cutting too many corners”:

I found out they used old scaffolding poles for the sub’s ballast — and its controls were based on computer game-style controllers.

If you’re trying to build your own submarine you could probably use old scaffold poles. But this was a commercial craft.

There were other red flags, Brown says, like when the company “missed key targets as they depth-tested Titan.” Brown had seen enough, and contacted OceanGate to get his deposit back:

Zim : This last link is for those who are truly interested in all this.
And I find it oddly ironic that the guy who 'cut corners' and 'broke some rules' and 'refused to hire white guys' went down with his own sub.
