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.

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.

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.

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.
