Coast Guard officials are continuing to uncover why the Titan submersible imploded, as the second day of the highly anticipated hearing kicks off.
The experimental Titan submersible imploded as it was heading down to the ruins of the Titanic, killing all five people on board, including OceanGate founder Stockton Rush, in June 2023.
Ten former OceanGate employees will give testimony in the hearing in North Charleston, South Carolina, which is probing whether any criminal activity led to the tragedy tragedy.
Witnesses scheduled to testify on Monday include David Lochridge, an employee who had branded the submersible ‘unsafe’ prior to its last voyage.
The former operations director will testify a day after witnesses painted a picture of a troubled company that was impatient to get its unconventionally designed craft into the water. The accident set off a worldwide debate about the future of private undersea exploration.
Scheduled to appear later in the hearing are OceanGate co-founder Guillermo Sohnlein and former scientific director, Steven Ross.
