The editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, Arnie Weissmann, has recalled a 'haunting' moment he shared with Stockton Rush
A man who pulled out of the ill-fated Titan submersible trip has opened up on a "haunting" moment he shared with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush the day before the journey. Arnie Weissmann, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, claims the multi-millionaire bragged about buying reduced price expired materials.
Speaking to the Washington Post, he said: “I responded right away, saying, 'Don’t you have any concerns about that?’ He was very dismissive and said: 'No, it’s perfectly fine. Having all these certifications for airplanes is one thing, but the carbon fibre was perfectly sound.'" “This carbon fibre hull is a huge thing. Carbon fibre has been used for autonomous underwater vehicles before, but never anything as large as what we’re doing," said Mr Rush in an interview.
