“People sold the lie”

Titan subperible in 2023 when he dipped in a disaster in Titanic, David Lochridge joined five people in the boat – including his boss – could be rescued.

“I always hoped that what happened was not happening. But he knew that they continued to carry on and with that lack of equipment, then there would be a fact,” BBC said.

Savior SUB, the company behind OceanGate was caught after warning security issues in 2018.

In June 2023, Inclod kills all five people in the boat – OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush.

A report on the US Coast Guard published on Tuesday, founded by OceanGate, had the main causes of disaster, testing and maintenance.

“So much could be done so many different ways. From the initial design, construction, operations – People lie to him,” Lochridge said to BBC.

But he believes in the U.S. authorities – and they should – to do more to stop the ocean.

Lochridge joined OceanGate earlier, as the director of the company’s marine operations. He moved his family from Scotland to the United States and was full of excitement around the company’s intentions.

Oceangate was building a new submersible to pay for passengers to the most famous wrecks in the world – Titanic.

And he will take part in the project from the beginning, working with the team that designs the subsection.

The straight glasses worked at sea for more than 25 years, first with the royal army and then pilot as a stomach. He also directed submarine rescue operations in response to the calls of people caught underwater. Knows the risks involved in deep diving.

His responsibilities planning scuba diving and, being the main pilot, took a subheading and 3,800 meters of 3,800 meters to see the titanic. Security was at the heart of his mission.

“As a director of maritime operations, I am in charge of everyone,” BBC News said. “I was in charge of the safety of all the ocean staff and all the passengers to come in the under.”

The prototype for the new submersible, eventually called Titan, was developed with the University Physical University Laboratory (APL). The plan was to build his helmet – the part that passengers would sit from carbon fibers.

No divers made from this first material. Most have hulls built from titanium or steel. Lochridge trusted the APL team.

OceanGate’s CEO said that the craft said that the craft would have an independent marine organization that would have a security assessment, known as a certificate.

Lochridge Adimant was that this third-party supervision was essential because it should be done especially for experimental materials.

But early summer 2016 began to have doubts about the project.

OceanGate stop working with APL and decided to bring the design and construction at Titan at home.

Lochridge was worried. He did not trust the same in OceanGate Engineers. BBC told him that he thought he suffered high pressures found at the depth of Titanic.

“At that point, I started asking questions … And I felt that I had a careful obligation,” he said.

When Titan’s parts began to reach, and the crafts began to take shape, Lochridge said he was watching the problem after the problem.

“When the carbon hull came in, it was a complete mess,” he said.

In the material he saw spectacular gaps in the areas of carbon fiber layers. He was known as Delamination.

And identified issues with other key components.

Carbon fiber had a helmet titanium dome at each end, but said the metal was mischievous. It was also concerned that the underlooking approach was not designed to work in extreme depths.

Most, he learned that Titan would not be certified for safety.

Bbcri said he was always on security issues – he would not remain silent.

“I brought all the problems I was watching … but I met with resistance all the way,” he said.

In January 2018, he again explained his concerns to Stockton Rush. This time he did not hurry to complement the inspection of the ship.

Titan was in the important point of its development. Travelers already paid for the Titanic deposits for the planned Titanic for the year. The test divers began in the Bahamas before these expeditions began.

Lochridge wanted OceanGate to delay these plans.

“I formulated a report and sent to all company directors”.

The next day, they called a meeting with many other employees of Rush and Ocean.

The two-hour meeting transcript, when the report was received, reveals the heating of the exchange between Lochridge and the dam.

Towards the end of the meeting, Rush says: “I don’t want to die: I will be around. I will be around. I understand this type of danger and I am open to your eyes.

Lochridge’s surprise, after this meeting immediately shot.

But he was so worried that he had a relationship with Titan with the US government’s work safety and health administration – OSHA.

Osha said he was urgent, because he had public security and placed according to the safety regime of the accusers, employees designed to protect vengeance.

As part of this process, OSHAK Lochridge surpassed the US Coast Guard (USCG) in February 2018.

Lochridge says, however, to say that after writing Oshak Oceanegate, everything changed.

In March, OceanEgate asked Lochridge to throw the OSH complaint, and asked $ 10,000 for legal costs. Lochridge has been denied.

Then, in July 2018, Oceanegate sued Lochridge – and his wife Carole – not to fulfill the contract, the secrets of trade, deception and theft dissolution, other allegations. Next month, Lochridge stated for unfair release.

Lochridge maintains that during the process he protected it from the continuous revenge that was slow Osha and received from OceanGate.

“I gave Osha all the documentation, I was Oshan every week.” He said. “Osha did nothing.”

In December 2018, the lawyer of Oceangate, Lochridge and his wife decided to fall into the case of pressure.

This meant the judicial proceedings were established, and Lochridge retired his complaint from Oshan. Osha stopped research and informed the US coast guard that the complaint was interrupted. Lochridge also signed an outreach agreement.

“Carole and I did everything we had, we were completely burned … We didn’t give anything.

OceanGate continued at a rhythm with the intentions to reach Titanic.

In 2018 and 2019, the prototype subsection included the first test of the Bahamas, including the rider Stockton Rush, achieved a depth of 3,939 m.

Later a crack was found in the underlying carbon fiber helmet, and became a new damaged helmet in 2020 when it became the second version of Titan.

In 2021, the company began to take passengers to Titanic, and the next two pears did 13 dive to the famous shipwreck.

But in June 2023, the subsection disappeared with five friends – including Stockton Rush. After the days of waiting, the underlying remains was found along the floor of the ocean.

In the Public U.S. Coast Guard last year, Lochridge criticized Osha for his lack of action. “I think OSH has tried to investigate the severity of the worries that I thought, this tragedy has been prevented.”

“No need happened. He didn’t – and he should stop.”

In response to Mr. Lochridge, a spokesman of OSH said the Txistularitz protection program to protect individuals against employers. They said they followed a “normal process and a timeline of the timeline”.

Osha said he does not investigate public security allegations … but instead referred to the appropriate agency – in this case the US coastal guard.

The spokesperson said: “Coast Guard, not Osha, researched Mr. Lochridge to investigate allegations of the design and safe construction of the marine ships.”

The US coastal patron saint report matching the disaster with Lochridge and reported that OSHA slow research has been a slow ability to intervene in early government.

The report also criticized an effective communication and coordination between OSHA and USCG. He said the action has been taken to improve this after disaster.

Jason Neubauer, President of the USCG Maritime Research Committee, told the BBC who could do more coast guards.

“The system did not work for the accusator in this case, and that’s why we need to improve – and we have it.”

OceanEgate said as a result of the accident, he was definitely injured in collaboration with the research and his resources.
