A former OceanGate employee, David Lochridge, testified that he had warned about safety concerns as early as 2018, but his warnings were ignored.
Lochridge claimed the company prioritized profit over safety and bypassed standard industry practices, making a tragic incident "inevitable."
The Titan submersible imploded during a dive to the Titanic wreckage in June 2023, killing all five people on board.
The US Coast Guard is currently conducting a public inquiry into the incident, examining the company's actions and the events leading to the tragedy.
