Video: Former OceanGate Employees Testify at Hearing on Titan Implosion

“I stopped the 2019 Titanic dive because the data, the instrumentation that I put on it, wasn’t good, and I was fired for it. What I got from Stockton [Rush] is, ‘The board said that you should have known this was happening.’ And I said, ‘Well, let me point you to exhibits A, B, C and D that I’ve been telling you.‘” “Did you ever have any safety concerns while you were employed at OceanGate? And if so, what were those concerns.” “I did. As a pilot in training, there were a couple of things that gave me pause. There was the acrylic dome. We had heard that there was paperwork on it, and we wanted to see that paperwork, and Tony [Nissen] wouldn’t let us see it. So that was my first red flag. It became abundantly clear to me that OceanGate was not the place I wanted to work, if that was our attitude towards safety.”
