OceanGate Whistleblower Testifies on Titan Sub's Fatal Flaws

David Lochridge describes a culture of cost-cutting and ignored safety warnings at Coast Guard hearing.

David Lochridge, former Director of Marine Operations at OceanGate, testified that he had 'no confidence' in the Titan submersible's safety.
Lochridge revealed that CEO Stockton Rush prioritized profits over safety, leading to the use of faulty and deficient equipment.
The Titan submersible catastrophically imploded in June 2023 during a dive to the Titanic wreck, killing all five on board.
Lochridge recounted a 2016 incident where Rush crashed another submersible into a shipwreck and threw a controller at him.
The Coast Guard's ongoing two-week hearing aims to determine the causes of the implosion and recommend safety measures.
