The "Titan: The OceanGate Disaster" documentary director is pointing fingers at OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, blaming him for the 2023 fatal implosion.

"It comes down to Stockton Rush," Mark Monroe said in the Netflix documentary. "The decisions he made led to this. It was a cult of personality. If you went against him, you were likely to be out."

The implosion, which happened during the sub's sixth descent to the wreckage of the Titanic, killed five people, including Rush. The Netflix documentary examines Rush's background and "his quest to become the next billionaire innovator."

In the documentary, Bonnie Carl, the company's ex-bookkeeper, said that Rush "wanted to be a Jeff Bezos or an Elon Musk."

Rush wanted to reduce the weight and cost of the vessel by using carbon fiber instead of heavy titanium, according to Variety. The carbon fibers allegedly started snapping way before the implosion in June 2023. Colleagues and experts
