Titan Submarine Accident; US Coast Guard Report Reveals Real Cause
US Coast Guard report blames company’s horrific mistakes, bullying and negligence for tragedy
The latest report released by the US Coast Guard on the Titan submarine accident has made sensational revelations.
According to the global news agency, the submarine manufacturer OceanGate not only made very serious safety mistakes but also tried to evade government oversight by resorting to bullying threats.
Key points of the report:
Dangerous design: The basic design of the submarine was weak and dangerous, which was used without the approval of experts.
Complete neglect of inspections: OceanGate deliberately ignored important safety inspections.
Bullying culture: There was an environment within the company where any employee who raised questions was suppressed or fired.
Concealment of technical flaws: The report said that the company repeatedly concealed internal flaws and did not tell the public or the authorities the truth.
CEO Stockton Rush’s negligence: The company’s head Stockton Rush has been held directly responsible for the tragedy. If he had not died in the accident, he could have been criminally prosecuted.
Reaction of the relatives to the report:
The two affected families said in a joint statement that no report can ease the grief of the death of our loved ones. But it is hoped that after this report, the relevant institutions will be vigilant and make useful reforms for the future.
It should be remembered that in June 2023, Ocean Gate’s Titan submarine went to see the wreck of the Titanic, with 5 people on board, including the company’s CEO.
However, the submarine was destroyed just 90 minutes after diving into the sea, and all five people on board died on the spot.
According to the report, the submarine was subjected to a pressure of about 5,000 pounds per square inch of water, causing it to disintegrate in an instant.
It should be noted that the father (Prince Dawood) and son (Sulaiman Dawood) on board the submarine were well-known Pakistani businessmen.
