The Spin

The Titan disaster represents a clear case of corporate negligence where OceanGate systematically ignored safety protocols and silenced whistleblowers. Rush's reckless leadership created a culture that prioritized profits over passenger safety, using intimidation to suppress legitimate concerns. The company's deliberate evasion of regulatory oversight directly led to five preventable deaths.

While tragic, the Titan incident highlights the challenges of regulating innovative deep-sea exploration where existing frameworks may not adequately address novel submersible designs. The disaster occurred in an emerging industry lacking clear international oversight protocols for experimental vessels operating in extreme environments. Current regulations weren't designed for such cutting-edge exploration technology.
