OceanGate did not offer additional details about pausing its operations. Its CEO, Stockton Rush, was among the five people killed when the company’s Titan submersible imploded in June.

    Pretty sure the market suspended operations for them. No one’s paying to use their services, no one will want to finance them… Once the sun imploded they were toast as a company.

      I think they had two other submersibles, though - those two don’t go nearly as deep as the Titan and were for dives of less than 1000 feet. But you know nobody wants to get into anything by that company now.

    There is never a shortage of hubris, in other words. 🤦🏽‍♂️
