"David Lochridge described the harrowing earlier trip to a U.S. Coast Guard panel, detailing how Stockton Rush insisted on piloting despite warnings about safety. He recounted Rush's reckless maneuvers that nearly endangered the crew, including a collision with the shipwreck that caused panic onboard as Rush questioned the adequacy of their life support systems."
"Lochridge noted that Mr. Rush disregarded multiple safety warnings and aggressively piloted the Cyclops 1 into the Andrea Doria wreck, highlighting poor judgment under pressure. He described a moment of chaos where Rush was frantic, asking about life support while Lochridge attempted to regain control of the situation by requesting to take over the controls."
