Portland, Main (AP) – On Coast Guard Report Titan submersible disaster Five were killed on the way to the Titanic, on Tuesday, it was said that the implications were “to be stopped”.
Disappearance In 2023, Canada made a discovery, which attracted attention around the world, and the Coast Guard investigated his highest level after his highest level of investigation.
Titan was owned OceangateA private company located in the state of Washington. The operator of the submarine, Oceangate Head Stockton Rush, was one of the five who died. No one was left.
The report found that the company’s safety procedures were “severely flawed”, given that the origin of the failures within the company came down to “horrific inequalities” between their safety protocols and real practices.
Submersible disaster Leaded with cases And the developing private deep sea campaign asks for strict regulation of the industry.
With Marine Board of Investigation, Jason Nubure said that findings would help stop the tragedies of the future.
“Outside the existing regulatory framework requires strong oversight and clear options for operators who discover new concepts outside the existing regulatory structure,” he said in a statement.
Oceangate spokespersons did not immediately respond to the phone call to seek comments on the report. In July 2023, Oceangate suspended operations.
Investigators found that the design, certification, maintenance and inspection process of submersible were all inadequate.
Throughout the report, which extends to more than 300 pages, investigators repeatedly point to the culture of Oceangate, which talks about improving their reputation and ignoring the major safety information to avoid investigating from regulators and to be rejected. The report said that Oceangate ignored “red flags” and was “toxic work culture”, while its mission was interrupted by domestic and international structure deficiency for submersible operations.
Several Oceangate employees have come forward in two years to support those claims. The report stated that the danger of the danger of firing and removing senior staff members was used to prevent employees and contractors from expressing safety concerns.
The report alleged that for several years before the explosion of Titan, Oceangate “leveraged intimidation strategy, allowances for scientific operations and the company’s favorable reputation to avoid regulatory investigations.”
The report found, “From strategic confusion and overcast challenges, Oceangate was finally able to operate Titan out of the deep sea protocol.”
The Marine Board said a challenge of the investigation was that the “vital amount” of the video footage evidence occupied by the witnesses was not subject to its sub -rights because witnesses were not American citizens.
In addition to Rush, implants killed French explorer Paul-Henry Naregalat, British adventurer Hamish Harding and two members of a leading Pakistani family, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood.
