The OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush told Arnie Weissmann, the editor in chief of Travel Weekly, that he was able to get the carbon fiber used to make the Titan “at a big discount from Boeing” because “it was past its shelf life for use in airplanes.”
Weissmann, editor in chief of Travel Weekly, said he was ready to accept an invitation from OceanGate for the June trip to explore the wreckage of the Titanic before a scheduling conflict arose. The May trip he took instead had its dive canceled due to bad weather, but Weissmann said he was struck by a conversation he had over cigars with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush that has haunted him in the days after the submersible first went missing.
that Rush said he was able to get the carbon fiber at a good rate “because it was past its shelf life for use in airplanes.”Rush had hailed the lighter carbon fiber as an innovation in a field that has long relied on more expensive titanium and claimed the company had worked with Boeing to make sure the pressure vessel, the carbon-fiber tube that keeps passengers alive, was safe.
