OceanGate did not offer additional details about pausing its operations. Its CEO, Stockton Rush, was among the five people killed when the company's Titan submersible imploded in June.

Pretty sure the market suspended operations for them. No one's paying to use their services, no one will want to finance them... Once the sun imploded they were toast as a company.

IIRC they were promoting next year’s trip within days of the implosion. Gutsy move.
