Stockton Rush, the mastermind behind the 2023 Titan submersible expedition, didn’t just want to tour the Titanic wreck — he allegedly intended to die there. That’s the explosive claim from a close friend of the late OceanGate CEO, who says the multimillionaire engineer was su*cidal and obsessed with becoming part of the Titanic’s legacy — even if it meant sacrificing four others. Karl Stanley, a commercial submersible expert, told author Matthew Gavin Frank in his new book Submersed: Wonder, Obsession and Murder in the World of Amateur Submarines: ‘Rush’s ego was so big, he was willing to die — and kill — to be pivotal to the story.’ Click through for the full interview at DailyMail.com. #news #titan #submarine #oceangate #titanic
