You wanted me to buy off on the idea of going to the Titanic and I told him ‘No’,” said Tony Nissen, Oceangate’s Chief of Engineering. That was just one of the statements from the Chief of Engineering on Monday morning during hearings on the implosion of the Everett Company’s underwater submersible.

The lead engineer on the doomed Titan submersible said Monday that he “100%” felt pressure to get it in the water.

Rush “crashed into the rear bulkhead, the rest of the passengers tumbled about, I ended up standing on the rear bulkhead,” ex-OceanGate scientific director said.

I'm not getting in it,'” Tony Nissen said he told Stockton Rush, co-founder of the OceanGate company that owned the Titan submersible.

OceanGate's former engineering director said he had refused to pilot the ill-fated submersible which imploded more than a year ago.
