Concerns over the sub's carbon fiber design were allegedly raised to the company in 2018. The suit claims the company ignored the warnings.
OceanGate, the company behind the Titan submersible that is missing in the Atlantic Ocean, was accused by a contractor in 2018 of not addressing concerns over the sub's safety designs.
The lawsuit says David Lochridge was hired to carry out a quality inspection on the submersible. He expressed verbal concerns over the"safety and quality control issues regarding the Titan to OceanGate executive management," the lawsuit states. The plaintiffs allege that the communications were ignored. The lawsuit says Lochridge expressed concern over the lack of non-destructive testing on the hull of the sub.
Titan was only rated to carry passengers to depths of 1,300 meters, not 4,000 meters like promised, the suit states. In order to reach the Titanic shipwreck, a submersible would have to go over 3,800 meters below the ocean surface.
