In not so many words, the New York Post strongly implied that a reason the OceanGate Expedition sub with company CEO Stockton Rush on board is missing is because Rush said he didn’t like hiring “50 year-old white guys” with military naval experience because they aren’t “inspirational.”
They kind of neglect to reconcile that “diversity statement” with the fact that the sub’s pilot is a 71 year-old white guy, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who retired from the French Navy with the rank of commander and is widely known as “Mr Titanic” in the oceanography community. The Post also is light on the real actual problems with the sub, such as a 2018 letter signed by 30 other ocean experts telling Rush his design had potentially “catastrophic” flaws and was not safe at the Titanic’s depth to that a freaking 2010 model Xbox controller is rigged to control the vessel.
