Owayesakuba ngumsebenzi wase-OceanGate owagxothwayo emva kokuvakalisa inkxalabo ngokhuseleko lwenkwili i-Titan wabhala i-imeyile kugxa wakhe evakalisa uloyiko lokuba i-CEO yenkampani iya kuzinyanzela ukuba “izame ukuziphucula” kwaye abanye baza kubhubha.
UDavid Lochridge, owayesakuba ngumlawuli we-OceanGate wemisebenzi yaselwandle owayesebenzela inkampani ukusuka ku-2015 ukuya ku-2018, wagxothwa emva kokuvakalisa inkxalabo malunga nokhuseleko oluninzi lwesakhiwo se-Titan.
Izilumkiso kuthiwa zakhutshwa kwivenkile yezityalo kwisiqingatha sesibini sika-2017, kodwa zakhatywa ngokuphindaphindiweyo xa indawo yayishiywe kwisakhiwo ukuze iqalise ukuvavanya.
Ngoku kubonakala ngathi kungekudala emva kokugxothwa kwakhe ngo-2018, i-Lodge Ridge yathumela i-imeyile kumncedisi weprojekthi uRob McCallum (naye wayishiya i-OceanGate ngenxa yeenkxalabo zokhuseleko) evakalisa inkxalabo yakhe yokuba umphathi oyintloko uStockton Rush ekugqibeleni uya kubhubha ekwinqanawa.
Ngokutsho kwe<em>The New Yorker, uLochridge wabhala oku ngoRush: “Andifuni kujongwa njengomntu ohlebayo, kodwa ndixhalatyiswa kukuba uza kuzibulala aze azibulale ngenxa yobungqina bakhe.”
Owayesakuba ngumqeshwa we-OceanGate uDavid Lochridge uthumele omnye owayesakuba ngugxa wakhe nge-imeyile isilumkiso sokungaphumeleli kuka-Titan Subs ngo-2018, esithi uyoyika ukuba umphathi wenkampani ongasekhoyo uza kuzibulala kunye nabanye kwinto ayibiza ngokuba “kukuzama ukuziphucula.”
Ngelo xesha, iLodge Ridge (engekho mfanekiso) yayingumlawuli weOceanGate wemisebenzi yaselwandle kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba wayekuphela komqhubi onamava wale nkampani.Uninzi lwe-2017, wabonisa inkxalabo malunga nokunyaniseka kwesakhiwo senqanawa, iziqwenga zazo zabonwa ngoJuni 28.
Kuthiwa lo nonjineli ukhaliphileyo wahlabela mgama esithi, “Ndizigqala ndikhaliphile xa kufikelelwa kwizinto eziyingozi, kodwa le nkwili yayilinde emaphikweni ngengozi.”
U-Rush, owazibiza ngokuba “ngumyili” ofuna ukutyhala imida yokuntywila kwabakhweli, wayengomnye wabantu abahlanu abasweleke kuhambo lokugqibela lweTitanic xa igumbi lakhe loxinzelelo ladilika kubunzulu beemitha ezingama-3,800 apho iTitanic yanyuselwa yaza yaqhushumba.
Ngokutsho Daily Mail, iintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba i-imeyile ithunyelwe, Lodgeridge wahlola yonke imiba ebalulekileyo sub, apho wayesele ngokusondeleyo uqhelene, yaye ngokukhawuleza wafumanisa inani iiflegi ebomvu.
Okokuqala, amaxwebhu enkundla kwisimangalo esilungisiweyo esifakwe ngabasebenzi baseOceanGate abanqunyanyisiweyo abonisa ukuba iLodge Ridge yafumanisa ukuba into encamathelayo kwimithungo yengxowa ye-ballast yesithuthi yayixobuka kwaye ukugqabhuka kwakunokubangelwa ziibholiti zokuxhoma ezingafakwanga ngokufanelekileyo.
Ukongeza, i-diver enamava ifumene iingxaki kunye neepaneli ze-submarine yesilingi, ephawula ukuba zinemingxuma ephumayo, kwaye kwi-Titan ngokwayo, i-grooves yahlukile kwiiparameters eziqhelekileyo.
Eli tyala laphinda laphawula ukuba kukho ingozi yokukhubeka nokuba iindawo ezibalulekileyo kutyholwa ukuba zikhuselwe yimibane.
I-Lodge Ridge ikwaxhalabile malunga nemigangatho enokutsha kunye nobukho bevinyl yangaphakathi, athi rhoqo ikhupha umsi onetyhefu kakhulu xa ulayishiwe.
Nangona kunjalo, kolu luhlu lweengozi ezinokubakho zokhuseleko, eyona ngxaki inkulu ye-Lodge Ridge – kunye nenxalenye yencanyana ethe yaphela ingasebenzi kakuhle ngexesha lokuntywila kwinyanga ephelileyo – ngoyena ndoqo wekhabhoni onoxanduva lokugcina abakhweli bephila kubunzulu bomkhenkce.Kukho ukonakala kweTitanic.
Umlawuli weProjekthi yeTitan kwimisebenzi yaselwandle, uDavid Lochridge, ugxothiwe emva kokudibana ne-CEO ye-OceanGate i-Stockton Rush, owayekhwele kwi-submersible elahlekileyo.
Ngokutsho kweDaily Mail, kwiintsuku ngaphambi kokuba i-imeyile ithunyelwe, i-Lodgeridge yayihlolisise yonke into ebalulekileyo yenqanawa eyayisele isondelene nayo kwaye yafumana iiflegi ezininzi ezibomvu, ezifana neyona ndawo ibalulekileyo efakwe kwi-zippered.
Injineli ekhaliphileyo kuthiwa ibize imveliso kaRush yecarbon-fiber “yintlekele ezayo.”Wabhalela omnye asebenza naye owayengekho e-Oceangate ngenxa yeengxaki ze-Titan: “Awundihlawuli nangayiphi na indlela ukuba ndingene kweli shishini.”
Uxinzelelo lwangaphandle lwamanzi lujikeleze i-6000 psi kwaye luvakala macala onke kwi-hull apho kubaluleke kakhulu.
Inyaniso malunga ne-Lodge Ridge kukuba igumbi loxinzelelo lenziwe nge-carbon fiber, i-capricious material engasetyenziswanga kuyo nayiphi na enye i-bathyscaphe kwaye ngoko ke ingavavanywanga.
Ukusukela ngoko, ezinye iingcali ziye zagxeka ukusebenzisa kukaRush into efana nentambo eyomeleleyo kuxinzelelo kodwa ibuthathaka ekucinezeleni.
Mhlawumbi eyona nto ixhalabisayo, nangona kunjalo, sisigqibo esityholwayo se-OceanGate sokungaqinisekisi itekhnoloji entsha kunye nokungabikho kovavanyo lwexesha elide lolwandle ngaphambi kokuba lusilele.
Ngokwesimangalo seLodge Ridge, isigqibo senziwe nguRush noTony Nissen, iCTO yenkampani esekwe eWashington.
Kuyo, i-Lodgeridge iphikisa ukuba isibini sigcine isikhundla emva kokuba enikezele ngengxelo yobunjineli ekhankanywe ngasentla ngoJanuwari 2018, apho, kunye nemibuzo ebuzwa ngaphambili, iingcali zazisebenza kwinxalenye ye-submarine's hull.
Ngenxa yoko, u-Lochridge waxoxa ukuba i-Titan idinga uvavanyo olungakumbi, besithi abakhweli banokuba sengozini xa sele befikelele “bunzulu obugqithisileyo,” ngokwesimangalo esifakwe kwiNkundla yeSithili saseSeattle kamva kulo nyaka.
Ethetha ngokwala kwakhe ukusayina olu xwebhu, uLodgeridge kuthiwa wabhala wathi, “Izinto endizifake ngomlomo kwiingongoma eziphambili ezixutyushwe kolu xwebhu luqhotyoshelweyo ziye zakhatywa izihlandlo ezininzi, ngoko ndivakalelwa kukuba mandingenise le ngxelo ukuze kubekho irekhodi elisemthethweni. .”"Unyana.
"I-Cyclops 2 (Titan) ayizukuqhutywa kulo naluphi na uvavanyo oluzayo de kuthathwe amanyathelo afanelekileyo okulungisa."
Ngokutsho kweNew Yorker, uRush wayenomsindo kangangokuba waphantse wayigxotha iLodge Ridge kwalapho.
Kwangaloo mini, i-CEO ikwabize intlanganiso apho yena nabanye abaphathi be-OceanGate bagxininisa ukuba uvavanyo lwe-hull aluyomfuneko.
Endaweni yoko, iBrass iphumeze inkqubo yokubeka iliso ye-acoustic ekwazi ukubona iifiber ezigugileyo.Inkampani yathi ngelo xesha le nkqubo yayanele ukulumkisa abaqhubi beenqwelomoya malunga nokusilela okuyintlekele, "ixesha elaneleyo lokuthintela ukwehla kunye nokubuyela emhlabeni ngokukhuselekileyo".
Omabini la macala abandakanyeka kwisimangalo esikrakra, kwaye eli tyala laye laconjululwa phantsi kwemiqathango engachazwanga kwiinyanga emva kokuba ityala lifakiwe.
Ukuphendula kwisimangalo sokufa ngokungafanelekanga, u-OceanGate wamangalela uLoughridge, emtyhola ngokwaphula isivumelwano sokungabhengezi kwaye wafaka isimangalo sokuba ugxothwe ngokungafanelekanga ngokuphakamisa imibuzo malunga novavanyo kunye nokhuseleko.
Kwi-countersuit yakhe, i-Lodgeridge yathi i-OceanGate ibiza ukuya kuthi ga kwi-250,000 yeedola kwindawo yokuhlala enqanaweni, nto leyo "enokubeka abakhweli emngciphekweni omkhulu wokuzama ukuntywila emanzini."Kwakhona wathi izixhobo ze-Titanic azikwazi ukufikelela kubunzulu malunga neenyawo ze-13,123, apho i-Wreckage ye-Titanic ikhona.
I-CEO ye-OceanGate kunye nomseki we-Rush (ekhohlo) uhleli kunye nomqhubi we-submersible u-Randy Holt kwi-Antipodesin submersible ye-Antipodesin Juni 28, 2013. Rush i-self-proclaimed rule breaker ogama izigqibo ngexesha lokwakhiwa kwe-Titan ngoku umbuzo.
Kwiposti yebhlog enesihloko esithi "Kutheni iTitan Ingahlelwanga?"I-OceanGate ivakalise indawo yayo yokungahoyi umzamo wokuhlelwa, icebisa ukuba le nkqubo iza kuthatha ixesha elide kakhulu.
Ingxelo ithi: “Nangona ii-arhente zokukala zikulungele ukufuna isiqinisekiso seeprojekthi neengcamango ezintsha nezintsha, zidla ngokufuna imijikelo yokuvunywa kweminyaka emininzi ngenxa yokungabikho kwemigangatho esele ikho.…
"Ukugcina abantu besithathu bekwisantya esiphezulu kuyo yonke into entsha ngaphambi kokuba ivavanywe sisiqalekiso sokwenziwa kwezinto ngokukhawuleza."
"Izinto ezintsha" zayo zibandakanya inkqubo yokuhlola impilo ye-hull yexesha lokwenyani (RTM), "okwangoku engagutyungelwanga yiyo nayiphi na iarhente yokuhlela," yatsho inkampani.
I-OceanGate ithi iiprothokholi zayo zokhuseleko lwangaphakathi zanele.Ibhlog iqukumbele ngelithi "ukulinganisa kuphela akwanelanga ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko."
I-Lodgeridge, umsebenzi wayo yayikukongamela ukhuseleko lwe-Titan, yakhuthaza u-Oceangate ukuba afune ukuhlelwa kwiminyaka eyadlulayo ngaphambi kokuba agxothwe ngenxa yokungavisisani malunga nokuhlolwa kokhuseleko lwe-Titan.
Ukwafuna inkampani ukuba iskene i-hull ye-Titan ukuze "ibone iziphene ezinokubakho" endaweni "yokuthembela ekujongweni kwe-acoustic" enokubona kuphela iingxaki "ii-millisecond phambi kogqabhuko-dubulo."
Ukufunyaniswa kubalulekile kuba abahlanguli abazi ukuba i-Titan iphantsi kolwandle, iphakamisa uloyiko lokuba "inokudubula" phantsi koxinzelelo olukhulu.
Kwityala lika-2018, amagqwetha ale nkampani athi uLodgeridge wagxothwa emsebenzini kuba “wayengamkelekanga” kuphando lwabo nakwizicwangciso zabo, kubandakanya nemigaqo yokhuseleko.
I-OceanGate ikwathi iLodgeridge “ifuna ukugxothwa”, yabelane ngolwazi oluyimfihlo nabanye, kwaye yacima iihard drives zenkampani."Yala ukwamkela ulwazi olubanzi lokhuseleko olunikezelwe yinjineli eyintloko yeTitan," yatsho inkampani.
I-Lodge Ridge ifudukele eWashington DC isuka e-UK ukuya kusebenza kwiProjekthi Titan, eyayifudula ibizwa ngokuba yiCyclops 2.
Owayesakuba yinjineli yomkhosi wasemanzini kunye neRoyal Navy diver, i-OceanGate imchaza "njengengcali ekusebenzeni kweenkwili kunye nokusindisa".
Amaxwebhu asemthethweni afunyenwe yi-DaiyMail.com abonisa ukuba wabhala ingxelo ngo-2018 egxeka inkqubo yokuphuhliswa kweenqanawa zenkampani.
I-Lodge Ridge ikwacebisa ukuba i-OceanGate isebenzise ii-arhente zokuhlela ezifana ne-ABS ukuhlola nokuqinisekisa i-Titan.
"I-OceanGate iziphikile zombini ezi zicelo kwaye yavakalisa ukungafuni ukuhlawula i-arhente yokuhlelwa ukuba iphonononge iprojekthi yayo yokulinga," litsho ityala.
I-Lodge Ridge “ayikhange ivumelane nemeko ye-OceanGate yokuba inkwili yatshoniswa ngaphandle kovavanyo olungonakalisiyo ukubonisa ingqibelelo yayo kwaye ibeke abakhweli kwiingozi ezinokubakho eziyingozi kwinkwili yovavanyo.”
