Coast Guard reveals cause of Titan submersible implosion

[Frank]

Welp, here we go! Strap in and get your popcorn because this is about to get interesting. The United States Coast Guard did a long investigation and eventually blamed the bad design and toxic workplace culture for the implosion and death of five people who were trying to explore the Titanic in a little sub powered by a Playstation controller.

The toxic mentality of the CEO led to them skipping out on crucial safety measures, because he thought his sub's design was good enough. Except, it wasn't even close to being good enough and it should've went through more safety tests etc. The report said:

The June 2023 implosion of the Titanic-bound submersible that killed five people in a tragedy that captured the world's attention was "preventable," fueled by its inadequate design and a "toxic" workplace culture, a newly released Coast Guard report found....

The Coast Guard report laid blame for the catastrophic implosion squarely on OceanGate, which it said failed to follow protocols for safety, testing and maintenance. For years before the implosion, OceanGate "leveraged intimidation tactics, allowances for scientific operations, and the company’s favorable reputation to evade regulatory scrutiny," the report said.
