OceanGate once faced a lawsuit from a former employee who alleged they were fired for raising safety concerns about the vessel that went missing while descending to the Titanic.
Oceanographer Dr. David Gallo discusses the active search and rescue mission for a missing sub on 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast.'while visiting the wreckage of the Titanic, was once the subject of a massive lawsuit from an employee who alleged he was fired because he had raised safety concerns over how deep the vessel could descend.
Lochridge’s counterclaim states he used an inspection report that identified numerous issues that posed "serious safety concerns, and offered corrective action and recommendations for each." After Lochridge’s inspection report, OceanGate called a meeting that included the company’s CEO, human resources director, and engineering director.
"OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters," the complaint states.
