"An experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death," Pogue read.Court filings from a 2018 lawsuit between OceanGate and its former director of marine operations, David Lochridge, show that he had"disagreed with OceanGate's position to dive the submersible without any non-destructive testing to prove its integrity.
The filing said that Lochridge had been denied access to information about the vessel's viewport — the section where passengers could look out from the submersible — which revealed that it"was only built to certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters."
