[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more I hear about this submersible the more it seems very clear to me that Stockton Rush was either a conman or a madman, and he very obviously misled his passengers as to the safety of the design and fabrication of the Titan - liability waiver be damned. He told one potential passenger who ultimately decided not to go that it was ‘as safe as crossing the street.’

The irony of this event is nearly as crushing as the psi endured by that submersible, and it pains to see how little man progresses.[/quote]

1000% agree.[/quote]

I'm going with madman. A conman wouldn't risk himself if he truly understood the thing to be a deathtrap. That's the craziest part to me. He knew it wasn't safe and got in the thing himself. [/quote]

I definitely think we are dealing with a grandiose narcissist- possible psychopathic tendencies, so madman would check out. Even with the waivers, I do believe he misled his “customers” and gave them a false sense of security. The thing is, we have all been accustomed to signing waivers for everything these days- they are required for many kids birthday parties involving potential injury. But Rush knew he had been questioned by experts about the safety of this submersible and he quickly shut it down. He told his customers this thing was safe and cavalierly compared this excursion to not getting out of bed or not crossing the street when they were completely different things. Yes, everything in life has a degree of risk and we all take those risks, but this was a death trap that was misrepresented as some state of the art technology. I do think if any of these customers had the information that we all do now thanks to the investigation of the media, some may have made different choices. I blame the 19 year old’s father and Rush for his death. It’s disgusting they did this to this poor kid.[/quote]
