David Pogue, a CBS News correspondent was aboard the Titan last year and interviewed OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush — one of the five passengers onboard the submersible. He defended Rush following the tragedy: 'Nobody thought anything at the time.'
Pogue said he was"emotionally terrified" and didn't sleep the night before he got into Titan. He said Rush"drives the thing with this game controller, and he uses rusty lead pipes from the construction industry as ballast.
Pogue expressed uncertainty about why information about the Navy's knowledge that it detected"an acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion" wasn't announced earlier, potentially saving additional search and rescue resources. With ongoing search efforts to locate the remains of the missing passengers and uncover the details of their final moments, Pogue emphasized that the information could bring closure to the families of the victims.he shouldn't bear the majority of the criticism considering his extensive education and experience. giving an interview in 2021, in which he says he's"broken some rules" to make trips to the Titanic possible for his company.
Pogue said that the sentiment has shifted unfavorably towards Stockton Rush's design,"the narrative has now turned against Stockton rushes design and you know, we should have seen this coming and what an idiot."
