00:00Critically flawed safety practices at Ocean Gate contributed to the implosion that killed
00:07five people aboard its Titan submersible in 2023. That's according to a new report
00:13released by the US Coast Guard on Tuesday. The report identified eight primary factors
00:19contributing to the fatal implosion, highlighting ignored safety warnings and inadequate design
00:24and maintenance, making the craft incapable of withstanding deep-sea pressure.
00:30It also found a toxic workplace environment at Ocean Gate, where dismissal was routinely
00:35used as a means to prevent staff from speaking out about safety concerns.
00:41Arguably the most damning finding in the report is Ocean Gate using intimidation tactics to
00:46avoid regulatory scrutiny. The Marine Board of Investigation said in a statement that
00:53the findings will help prevent future tragedies.
01:00That's one thing focused on.

01:08That's the conclusion.
01:09That's right.
01:10That's the one thing.
01:11Actually it's good, it's true.
01:13That's one thing.
01:13That's a good one.

01:16Thanks for having me on your face.
