Lochridge, who has experience as a submersible pilot and diver, was hired by OceanGate in May 2015 as an independent contractor and later became an employee, according to documents. However, Lochridge says he made the report at the request of CEO Stockton Rush because the plans for the Titan were being passed from the engineering team to his operations department. In its lawsuit against Lochridge, OceanGate said they did not hire him to do engineering work. "The paying passengers would not be aware, and would not be informed, of this experimental design, the lack of non-destructive testing of the hull, or that hazardous flammable materials were being used within the submersible," court documents state. Lochridge said his concerns were ignored and he was told equipment did not exist for the type of test he was asking for. According to Lochridge, acoustic monitoring only detects a problem in the hull right before it fails. Lochridge said he encouraged a nondestructive scan of the hull to check for any defects, rather than solely relying on acoustic monitoring. That was due to OceanGate's design of the vessel, which did not meet federal standards, according to the complaint.
The Titan was being designed to travel 4,000 meters below the surface, which had never been done by an OceanGate vessel with a hull made of carbon fiber, Lochridge stated in court documents.įurthermore, Lochridge said vessel's viewport, which allows passengers to look outside, was only certified by the manufacturer to withstand pressures at 1,300 meters below the surface. Former director of marine operations David Lochridge sent a report he authored in January 2018, which voiced concerns that the hull used carbon fiber and not a metallic composition. Navy submarine captain, told NPR's Morning Edition that the odds of survival are "about 1%." A former OceanGate executive voiced safety concerns years agoĪ fired OceanGate employee urged for additional testing on the hull of the Titan years earlier, according to a 2018 lawsuit.
