Titanic tour CEO didn’t hire ‘50-year-old white guys’ because they weren’t ‘inspirational’


 
“So we’ve really tried to get, um, very intelligent, motivated, younger individuals involved because we’re doing things that are completely new.”

 

Rush’s Everett, Wash.-based company has made two previous trips to the 1912 wreckage of the “unsinkable” ship, which is 12,500 feet underwater at the bottom of the Atlantic some 370 miles off the coast of Canada.

 

The founder and CEO — who navigates the missing Titan submersible with a cheap Amazon video game joystick — has been trapped on the tiny vessel since Sunday with four wealthy adventurers who paid $250,000 apiece for the tour. 

 

“I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational,” OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, 61, told Teledyne Marine.
