The Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate Expeditions to explore the wreckage of the sunken SS Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland, dives in an undated photograph/REUTERSPix: The former director of marine operations for the US company whose Titanic tourism submersible is missing raised safety concerns before being fired, according to a 2018 lawsuit.

Lochridge, a submarine pilot and diver from Scotland, began working for OceanGate in May 2015 as an independent contractor before being promoted to director of marine operations, according to court documents. “Lochridge first expressed verbal concerns over the safety and quality control issues regarding the Titan to OceanGate executive management,“ the document said. “These verbal communications were ignored.”
