Emails between Rob McCallum and Stockton Rush, between 2018-03-22 and 2018-03-27, subject: Sea Trials
Rob: ... you are wanting to use a prototype un-classed technology in a very hostile place. As much as I appreciate entrepreneurship and innovation, you are potentially putting an entire industry at risk.
Stockton: ... I know that our engineering focused, innovative approach (as opposed to an existing standards compliance focused design proces) flies in the face of the submersible orthodoxy, but that is the nature of innovation. ... I have grown tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation and new entrants from entering their small existing market. Since Guillermo and I started OceanGate we have heard the baseless cries of "you are going to kill someone" way too often. I take this as a serious personal insult.
Rob: ... I think you are potentially placing yourself and your clients in a dangerous dynamic. Ironically, in your race to Titanic, you are mirroring that famous catch cry "she is unsinkable". Having dived the Titanic, and having stood in a Coroners Court as a technical expert, it would be remiss of me not to bring this to your attention.
