Well, Mr. Lochridge has certainly been vindicated, but since he seems like a decent man, I doubt he's happy about it. Terrible the way he was treated. I don't understand what exactly the "whistleblower protections" even are, if a company can sue a person for making a complaint and basically blackmail them into shutting up. Companies should not be allowed to sue whistleblowers, period.
I can’t imagine how he feels knowing a 19yo who didn’t want to go lost his life 😢 but it’s not his fault, the system is broken. It’s like an ethical slap suit 🙄 oceangate could afford to ruin his life.
It's crazy, but not at all surprising. Americans are taught "government is the problem" and regulations are evil. We will proudly put the financial interests of rich business men over our own lives.
Nobody cares, because OceanGate only the higher-ups be blamed not entire company get same punishment. Why OSHA didn't take it seriously? Even though, this guy cancelled OSHA partial investigate OceanGate because safety concerns. OSHA just "alright no investigate on these matter, this paper in 🗑️" job well done. OSHA didn't have suspicious about why this guy cancelled, investigate OceanGate? Who's team on OSHA in 2018 that didn't do their job, need to be question as well.
Stockton knew the entire time that this would most likely fail and chose to ignore everyone about it. As far as I am concerned, he knowingly and willingly put the lives of the people on board at risk.
He is a narcissist and thinks that he can manage. He did patent a acoustic sensor system to be installed to the fibre composite hull. He thought that his invention will notify him of imminent failure of the hull and give him enough time to ascend to surface. Clearly the system does not work. He thought that it would work because he invented it. It is a very clear indication of narcissism.
That's the wild thing about Rush though. I don't think he thought it would fail. He was warned, but he didn't believe it. He thought he was somehow above the rules of nature and physics, that he had a faster and cheaper way to do this than anyone else and he was eager to prove all the naysayers wrong. He fully believed in the engineering and construction of Titan and that's what made him so dangerous.
As a licensed professional, the engineer, architect, lawyer, M.D., are liable even if you see others work endanger people. It's professional ethics. I think this engineer went way beyond his responsibility. His warnings fell on deaf ears. I have personally seen engineers stand up to clients and say, "No", and then lose the project/job. My respects to this engineer👍
Same ❤ here put himself at risk to try, regulatory agencies did nothing and oceangate sued him knowing they could use their lawyers to ruin his life 😢 what else was he supposed to do?
I'm glad that Mr. Lochridge is finally able to tell the whole thing--it was a tragedy waiting to happen. And OSHA was definitely asleep at the wheel on this.
Advanced composites are stronger under tension (like pressure vessels) rather than compression, where resin bond strength is more important than fiber.
That USA tax money government spending for other's. Not for USA citizens benefits, but for war & other stuff. Money + Profit can be used to reduced medical bills. USA medical & medicine soooo expensive. Many US citizen goes bankrupt because rate of living, medical, etc the Government promised this & that... in the end nothing changes but rate of living skyrocket. But other international Hospital & medicine so cheap.
What I would like to know is how did Rush get PH Nargeolet into this? A seasoned Naval officer of PH's caliber would surely know that Rush was running a shoddy operation.
This is a super valid question. He was supposed to be a diving legend: wtf was he doing on a carbon fibre sub 4K below the surface? The 19yo didn’t fully understand the danger he was in, PH should have.

When there was no one but an egotistical owner, the top man in charge, several people left, or were dismissed from OceanGate. Rush disliked those who brought up issues with safety. Disaster was imminent. Perhaps this hearing will lead to oversight of these vessels, especially those carrying paying customers to the crushing depths of Titanic.
@@wally7856 The submarine itself is a balloon, they had weights held on with pieces that dissolve in water over time so even if they lost all power and communications the weights would eventually fall off and the sub would float up. Of course that doesn't help when the submarine implodes in thousandths of a second.
Mr Lochridge sounds like a professional who cared about the safety of those who had decided to use the Titan to see the Titanic. He was pushed against every day he was there.
Lochridge did his moral duty to speak out and lost his job for it. He and his wife were dragged into legal limbo by Oceangate for a year without much help from anyone before he had to give in and being silenced. There are many people and organizations owing him an apology.
Mmmm. Problem is that it worked on a number of dives so the engineering was ok to start. Nobody had a clue about the number of cycles it could withstand and it doesn't look like anyone wanted to know. Thats the key. Like a racing car. It will work for a limited number of races then it will grenade. In this case likely fatigue ;-)
