The CEO of OceanGate, which is operating the missing Titanic tourist submarine, explains that the company didn’t want to hire any experienced “50 year old white guys” because they weren’t “inspirational.”

WNU Editor: The operator of the sub was the founder, an 61-year old ex-navy white guy (link here). But I think the issue has to do less with the pilot and more to do with the construction and engineering.
On a personal note. Last year the GF put visiting the Titanic on our bucket list on things to do when we retire. I told her that if we had the money to afford it my answer is a yes, but it will be the last thing to do on our bucket list.
Welcome to Canada. Looks like the company got what it deserved. Good riddance.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you’re saving it for last. You might end up kicking the bucket.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see or read anything titanic I can’t help but think of that old lady throwing the sapphire overboard. One of the worst endings in movie history. Stupid old lady
ReplyDeleteI have seen the travelling Titanic show once. More than enough.
