āIād like to be remembered as an innovator,ā he said, speaking from the interior of one of OceanGateās submersibles. āI think it was [famous American General Douglas] MacArthur that said, āYouāre remembered for the rules you break.āā
āI have broken some rules to make this,ā he conceded. āI think Iāve broken them with logic and good engineering behind me. The carbon fiber and titaniumāthere is a rule that you donāt do that. Well, I did.ā
The Guardian has some more choice quotes from this guy:

I know itās petty, but I find it extremely frustrating that he likely didnāt have enough time to realize just how wrong he was about everything before he died. He went to his death saying āNo, itās the children who are wrong.ā
I read that it looks like they may have been making their ascent before imploding, which means he may have know about how bad it was before he died.
