In January 2018, Lochridge sent Rush a quality-control inspection report detailing 27 issues with the vehicle, from questionable O-ring seals on the domes and missing bolts to flammable materials and more concerns about its carbon-fiber hull. Rush fired him the next day. (Although Lochridge later made a whistleblower report to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration about Titan, Rush sued him for breach of contract. The settlement of that lawsuit resulted in Lochridge dropping his complaint, paying OceanGate nearly $10,000, and signing an NDA. Lochridge did not respond to WIRED.)
Ugh
How can you hear “o-ring issue” and not shit your pants? Did we learn nothing from Challenger?
I'm not a gastroenterologist, but I do believe when you have an o-ring issue you specifically do shit your pants.
He may have been sued unjustly, but he also isn't currently a paste at the bottom of the ocean, so who is really laughing now?
I hope he feels it was worth the trouble and the $10k to try to do the right thing and reveal the corruption in the system.
i hope he at least feels vindicated by what happened
You can get sued for putting in a osha complaint? Doesn't that defeat like the entire purpose of osha?
