Titan submersible disaster ‘could have been prevented’ as report slams safety flaws | World | News
A report on the Titan Submersible disaster hit the owners of the company behind the ship and claimed that the journey was “critical defective”.
Oceangate’s Titan Diver took the first time on June 13, 2023. Oceangate CEO was on board to visit five passengers, including Stockton Rush. The contact with the crew disappeared during landing, and then it was confirmed that the thoughts exploded and killed all passengers.
After a two -year investigation, the Coast Guard Maritime Board found the “primary causal factor” for the explosion and “could not follow the established engineering protocols for the safety, testing and maintenance of divers”. In the report, “primary contribution factors” “inadequate design, certificate, maintenance and audit process” lists.
Oceangate found that he had “known Hull Anomalies” known as “known and handled” that he described a year before the tragedy. He said Titan’s real -time monitoring system produces data “that he has to move on”.
These “body abnormalities” were responsible for a “loss of structural integrity” that led to the “sudden disaster explosion of thought.
On the ship, “inch square water pressure per 4,930 pounds per kilo, which has caused all of the five residents of all of them”. For this reason, Chairman of the Board of Directors Jason Neubauer said, “Deniz injured and disappearance of five lives are prevented.”
In the report: “During the 2023 Titan operations, the lack of both third -party supervision and experienced Oceansgate employees, Oceangate’s executive chairman, allowed him to completely ignore the vital inspections, data analyzes and preventive care procedures that resulted in a disaster incident.”
The company used the “intimidation tactics, allowances for scientific operations and positive reputation of the company” to avoid regulatory examination. “Oceangate,” Oceangate, “Oceangate”, strategically creating and exploiting the regulatory confusion and surveillance challenges, except “completely outside the deep sea protocols”.
In addition, “a toxic workplace culture, diver operations and new design ships in Oceansgate, an inadequate domestic and international regulatory frame and an ineffective information process” said.
Titan sub -passengers Shahzada and Suleman Dawood’s family made a statement that called for more challenging arrangement and surveillance. He said: “No report can change the heart of the heart or fill the unmistible gap left by two valuable members of our family.”
“We believe that the accountability and regulatory change should follow such a disaster failure, or he says that the tragedy of the family will be a turning point to bring” meaningful reform, meticulous security standards and effective surveillance “to the diver industry.
“Shahzada and Suleman’s legacy will bring us some peace if there may be a catalyst for the regulatory change that helps prevent such a loss.”
