The company responsible for the submersible that tragically imploded during its descent to explore the Titanic wreck, has made the decision to suspend its operations. The incident, which occurred on June 18 in the North Atlantic, resulted in the loss of all five individuals aboard the submersible, including Stockton Rush, the company’s CEO and pilot.
