Did you watch OceanGate's fired chief engineer David Lochridge's evidence to the current Coastguard public inquiry this week? You'd have found it fascinating, and I'm sure many aspects of what he had to say would resonate with your own experiences.

Totally! That was clear from fired engineer David Lochridge's testimony. Tony Nissen was Stockton Rush's right hand man and totally loyal to him. He and Rush were one voice in dismissing Lochridge;s safety concerns about Titan, and shutting him out of all meetings/discussions on its development. Nissen was just as bad as Rush! Nissen has changed his tune since leaving the company and obviously, since the disaster. He's a self serving weasel.

Exactly, the video's conclusion is ridiculous. Five people didn't have to die to tell us what was already known - and had even been warned about by maritime experts. OceanGate was a cost cutting cowboy outfit, which put profit before people, and was playing an outrageous game of deep sea Russian roulette with human lives. There should have been laws in place to protect the (super-rich) public, and keep them out of the clutches of reckless, exploitative mavericks like Stockton Rush.

Yes they should, but what you are describing costs a lot of time and money, and Stockton Rush was not willing to invest either. He wanted to do it very cheaply, by tomorrow. His greed and speed got five people killed, including himself.

Five people did not have to die, for the blindingly obvious lessons of this tragedy to be learned! Stockton Rush wasn't interested in deep sea research, as he pretended. OceanGate was a cynical money making operation, and its shady business model was to build the submersible as cheaply as possible (from many pre-used elements), and have it big enough to house several paying passengers to bankroll it. Rush needed super rich passengers to fund his egotistical dreams. There should have been laws in place to stop him taking the public on that death trap. This disaster should never have happened. It has taught us nothing we didn't already know, and nothing multiple submersible experts hadn't signposted and warned about, long before the tragedy.
