OceanGate the owner of the Titan submersible that imploded during a voyage to the Titanic, killing all five people on board says it has suspended its exploration and commercial operations, according to its website. The companys CEO, Stockton Rush, was among those who perished when the Titan submersible imploded in the North Atlantic Ocean last month. OceanGate has suspended all exploration and commercial operations, the top of the companys official website says. The website still features highlight reels of equipment and expeditions, as well as descriptions of expedition offerings, including to tour the Titanic wreckage. The Titan a 23,000-pound vessel that was roughly the size of a minivan was about 1 hour and 45 minutes into a planned dive to reach the remains of the Titanic when it lost contact with its mother ship on June 18. On June 22, officials confirmed the Titan had suffered a catastrophic implosion.

Shit it all Down

Don't shut it down yet. If they collapse the company and the remaining founders run off with equal cuts of whatever money is in the bank that'll make it that much harder for the victims' families to sue for restitution.

Innovation being stifled! </Stockton>

Ah, so they are still active. Some did assumed they already shut down after weeks of silence.

I was reading the wiki on the wreck of the Andrea Doria and there's a paragraph about Stockton Rush in 2016 regarding the condition of the wreck. I guess it makes sense he would have dived other wrecks but it caught me iff guard
