A report by the US Coast guard has slammed the owners of the OceanGate over the Titan submersible implosion.
The report found OceanGate failed to follow established engineering protocols that put people on board at serious risk.
The US Coast Guard said OceanGate “leveraged intimidation tactics” in order to avoid regulatory scrutiny.
All five people on board died instantly after the submersible was subjected to intense water pressure.
OceanGate CEO’s ‘negligence’ contributed to deaths, says report
The “negligence” of OceanGate CEO and the pilot of the Titan submersible Stockton Rush contributed to deaths on board, the report said.
An investigation found “evidence of a potentially criminal offence” and Rush “may have been subject to criminal liability.”
