Great article, really outlines just how headstrong and arrogant Rush was. Pushing the bounds of exploration is one thing, doing it with paying passengers on board is just reckless. The bit about confronting PH Nargolet for giving credence to Ocean Gate was especially well done, seems like the dude was just old and didn’t really care anymore.
