‘People were sold a lie’: Oceangate whistleblower warned of Titan risks before 2023 implosion; was aware ‘there would be an incident’

Following the US Coast Guard report on the Titan submersible disaster, former OceanGate employee David Lochridge has reiterated his safety concerns. He claims OceanGate ignored critical flaws in the submersible's design and construction, leading to the tragic implosion. Lochridge, who was fired in 2018 for raising these issues, believes the company misled passengers and could have prevented the disaster.
