'We all told him, someone is going to be killed in this thing and you've got to not do it,' the president of DOER Marine Operations in Alameda said of OceanGate's CEO, who visited her back in 2015.
"Where this really went kind of askew, was that he was like, I don't need that," she said. "I've done the math, I'm confident in my engineering and kind of just went down a path of really kind of thumbing the nose of the classing agencies."
Taylor says rush cut obvious corners, like not building his sub in a pair to have self-rescue capacity or with what's called an ROV."There was no capable ROV on board, there was no second submersible," she said. And she says, because Rush was technically operating in international waters, there was no way of stopping him.
"Through this combination of hubris, complacency, and greed, it was incredibly frustrating and so sad for the families, that they didn't have, maybe they just had no idea of the true level of risk that they were putting themselves at," she said.
