OceanGate's Safety Record Under Scrutiny Amid Lawsuits and Concerns

OceanGate, the maker of the missing Titanic submersible, faced a safety lawsuit in 2018 from a former employee who expressed concern about the safety of the vessel's hull. The employee alleged that he was wrongfully terminated after raising concerns about the safety of the submersible, called the Titan, and advising the company to conduct more testing of the vessel's hull. The Titan is now the focus of a massive search in the North Atlantic after it went missing during a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic with five passengers on board.
