Titan implosion was "expected by everyone who had access to a little bit of information," submersible pilot says
CBSN
A key employee with the company that owned the experimental submersible that imploded en route to the wreckage of the Titanic pushed back at a question from a Coast Guard investigator about whether OceanGate felt a sense of "desperation" to complete the dives because of the high price tag. But a submersible pilot testified that there was "nothing unexpected" about the Titan's implosion.
Amber Bay, director of administration for the company that owned the doomed Titan submersible, insisted Tuesday that the company would not "conduct dives that would be risky just to meet a need."
But she agreed that the company wanted to deliver for those who paid $250,000 and were encouraged to participate as "mission specialists."
