Titanic tour CEO didn’t hire ‘50-year-old white guys’ because they weren’t ‘inspirational’
The OceanGate CEO who is trapped on a 22-foot submersible on an ill-fated voyage to see the Titanic wreck once explained how he didn’t hire “50-year-old white guys” with military experience to captain his vessels because they weren’t “inspirational.”
