OceanGate Whistleblower's Warning: 'I Couldn't Live With Myself'

The implosion of the Titan submersible shocked the world, claiming the lives of five people. Former OceanGate employee David Lochridge's prescient warnings about safety concerns add a tragic layer to the story. Lochridge, in an interview with NBC's Tom Costello, stated, "There's no way I could live with myself if something happened." This statement reflects the weight of his concerns, documented in a federal whistleblower complaint and lawsuit filed before the disaster. Adding to the tragedy, a Netflix documentary, "Titan: The OceanGate Disaster," captured the sound of the implosion on underwater microphones, providing chilling evidence of the catastrophic event. The $250,000 price tag for a trip to the Titanic further highlights the risks taken for the sake of this adventure. Lochridge’s actions serve as a stark reminder of the importance of safety regulations and the need for thorough risk assessments in high-stakes endeavors.
