Richard Stockton Rush III (March 31, 1962 – June 18, 2023) was an American engineer, pilot, and businessman. He was the co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of OceanGate. On June 18, 2023, he was killed along with four others aboard OceanGate's submersible Titan while attempting to visit the wreck of the Titanic in the North Atlantic.
Quotes
- You know, there’s a limit. You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you’re going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules. [1]
- If you're not breaking things, you're not innovating. If you're operating in a known environment as most submersible manufactures do, they don't break things. To me, the more stuff you've broken, the more innovative you've been. [2]
- The Critical thing we've got to understand [is] climate change, how the planet responds to climate change. It's all in the ocean, and we know almost nothing. [2]
