LONDON: The former business partner of Titanic submersible pilot Stockton Rush sai
Guillermo Soehnlein, who started OceanGate with Rush before leaving the company in 2013, said he was not involved in the design of the Titan submersible, but denied his old friend was reckless."He was also extremely diligent about managing risks, and was very keenly aware of the dangers of operating in a deep ocean environment.
"I think he was asked about a similar risk and he said, 'look, if something happens at that depth, it will be catastrophic in a matter of microseconds.'" "To the point where the implosion happens at almost supersonic speeds and you'd basically be dead before your brain could even process that anything was wrong."
Soehnlein stressed, however, that it was too soon to say what happened to the Titan, and that it was"tricky to navigate" to formulate global regulations for submersibles designed to go ultra deep."Just like with space exploration, the best way to preserve the memories and the legacies of these five explorers is to conduct an investigation, find out what went wrong, take lessons learned and then move forward.
