As the new documentary about the Titan sub which imploded in 2023 takes over Netflix, one of Stockton Rush’s friends has made a bombshell claim that the captain ‘wanted to die’ at the wreck.

Stockton Rush, the former OceanGate CEO and Titan implosion victim, is the focus of Netflix's new documentary on the disaster.

The doc, produced by Story Syndicate and Diamond Docs, explores Rush’s background and “his quest to become the next billionaire innovator.” In the film, former OceanGate bookkeeper Bonnie Carl says that Rush “wanted to be a Jeff Bezos or an Elon Musk. … He referred to those guys as big swinging dicks, and he loved that term.”
