Summary

OceanGate had "critically flawed" safety practices and a toxic workplace culture, a damning report into the fatal Titan sub disaster finds

The US Coast Guard says the company "leveraged intimidation tactics... to evade regulatory scrutiny" and "completely" ignored vital inspections

Chief executive Stockton Rush showed "negligence that contributed to the deaths", the report says, adding he may have been subject to criminal liability had he survived

The family of two victims says "no report can alter the heart-breaking outcome" and calls for "meaningful reform"

OceanGate's submersible experienced a catastrophic failure 90 minutes into a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic in June 2023

All five people on board died instantaneously after being subject to 4,930 pounds per square inch of water pressure, the report says

Sorry not sorry, but I'm just glad that the owner/CEO of that submersible died along with the others, instead of walking away.

No doubt CoC gutted that OceanGate not in a position now to tender for high efficiency Cook Strait Ferries.
