Owayeyisisebenzi sase-OceanGate owaxoshwa ngemuva kokuzwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha komkhumbi-ngwenya i-Titan ubhalele uzakwabo i-imeyili ezwakalisa ukwesaba ukuthi i-CEO yenkampani izophoqeleka “ukulwela ukuzithuthukisa” futhi abanye bazofa.
UDavid Lochridge, owayengumqondisi wezokusebenza zasolwandle wakwa-OceanGate obesebenzela inkampani kusukela ngo-2015 kuya ku-2018, uxoshwe ngemuva kokuzwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha kwengxenye enkulu ye-Titan.
Lezi zixwayiso kuthiwa zikhishwe esitolo semishini engxenyeni yesibili ka-2017, kodwa zenqatshwa kaningi ngesikhathi indawo ishiywe ebhilidini ukuze iqale ukuhlolwa.
Manje kubonakala sengathi ngemva nje kokuxoshwa kwakhe ngo-2018, i-Lodge Ridge yathumela i-imeyili kumsizi wephrojekthi u-Rob McCallum (naye owashiya i-OceanGate ngenxa yezinkinga zokuphepha) ezwakalisa ukukhathazeka kwakhe ngokuthi isikhulu esiphezulu u-Stockton Rush uzogcina eshonele kumkhumbi-ngwenya.
Ngokwe<em>New Yorker, uLochridge wabhala ngoRush: “Angifuni ukuphathwa njengenhlebi, kodwa ngikhathazekile ngokuthi uzozibulala futhi azibulale ukuze azibonakalise.”
Owayeyisisebenzi sase-OceanGate, uDavid Lochridge, wathumela omunye uzakwabo i-imeyili exwayisa ngokwehluleka kwe-Titan Subs ngo-2018, ethi wesaba ukuthi umphathi wale nkampani ongasekho uzozibulala kanye nabanye kulokho akubiza ngokuthi “ukufuna ukuzithuthukisa.”
Ngaleso sikhathi, uLodge Ridge (ongekho esithombeni) wayengumqondisi wezokusebenza zasolwandle e-OceanGate futhi okungenzeka kube nguye kuphela umshayeli wendiza onolwazi.Esikhathini esiningi se-2017, uzwakalise ukukhathazeka ngobuqotho besakhiwo somkhumbi, izingcezu zawo ezibonwe ngoJuni 28.
Kubikwa ukuthi unjiniyela onesibindi waqhubeka, “Ngizibheka nginesibindi esikhulu uma kuziwa ezintweni eziyingozi, kodwa lo mkhumbi-ngwenya ube ngengozi ulinde emaphikweni.”
U-Rush, owazibiza ngokuthi “umsunguli” owayefuna ukusunduza imingcele yokutshuza kwabagibeli, wayengomunye wabantu abahlanu abashona ohambweni lokugcina lwe-Titanic ngesikhathi i-pressure room yakhe iwa ekujuleni okungamamitha angu-3,800 lapho i-Titanic yayiboshelwe khona futhi yaqhuma.
Ngokusho kwe-Daily Mail, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba i-imeyili ithunyelwe, u-Lodgeridge uhlole zonke izici ezibalulekile ze-sub, ayevele ejwayelene nazo, futhi wathola ngokushesha inqwaba yamafulegi abomvu.
Okokuqala, amadokhumenti asenkantolo ecaleni elixazululiwe elifakwe ngabasebenzi base-OceanGate abanqanyuliwe abonisa ukuthi i-Lodge Ridge ithole ukuthi into enamathelayo esezigxotsheni zesikhwama semoto yayixebuka nokuthi ukugqabuka kwakubangelwa amabhawodi afakwe ngokungafanele.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umtshuzi onolwazi wathola izinkinga ngamaphaneli osilingi womkhumbi-ngwenya, ephawula ukuthi anezimbobo eziphumile, futhi ku-Titan ngokwayo, imifantu yayihluke kumingcele evamile.
Icala liphinde laphawula ukuthi kunengozi yokukhubeka nokuthi izingxenye ezibalulekile zazivikelwa umbani.
I-Lodge Ridge iphinde ikhathazeke ngamaphansi avuthayo kanye nokuba khona kwe-vinyl yangaphakathi, athi ihlale ikhipha intuthu enobuthi obuphezulu uma ibasiwe.
Kodwa-ke, kulolu hlu lwezingozi zokuphepha ezingaba khona, inkinga enkulu ye-Lodge Ridge - kanye nengxenye yencanyana egcine ingasebenzi kahle ngesikhathi sokutshuza ngenyanga edlule - iwumgogodla we-carbon fiber onesibopho sokugcina abagibeli bephila ekujuleni kweqhwa.Kukhona ukuphahlazeka kwe-Titanic.
Umqondisi we-Project Titan osebenza olwandle, uDavid Lochridge, uxoshiwe ngemuva kokuhlangana nomphathi we-OceanGate u-Stockton Rush, obesesikebheni esilahlekile ngaphansi kwamanzi.
Ngokusho kwe-Daily Mail, ezinsukwini ngaphambi kokuthunyelwa kwe-imeyili, u-Lodgeridge wayehlole zonke izici ezibalulekile zomkhumbi-ngwenya ayevele ejwayelene nazo futhi wathola amafulegi amaningi abomvu, njengengxenye okuthiwa ibalulekile enoziphu.
Kubikwa ukuthi unjiniyela onesibindi wabiza ukukhiqizwa kwe-carbon-fiber kaRush ngokuthi “inhlekelele ezayo.”Ubhalele uzakwabo naye obengekho e-Oceagate ngenxa yezinkinga ze-Titan: “Awungikhokheli nganoma iyiphi indlela ukuthi ngicwiyize kuleli bhizinisi.”
Umfutho wamanzi wangaphandle ucishe ube ngu-6000 psi futhi uzwakala nxazonke zesikhumba lapho kubaluleke kakhulu khona.
Iqiniso mayelana ne-Lodge Ridge ukuthi igumbi lokucindezela lenziwe nge-carbon fiber, into engavamile engasetshenziswa kunoma iyiphi enye i-bathyscaphe ngakho-ke ayihloliwe.
Kusukela lapho, abanye ochwepheshe bakugxekile ukusebenzisa kuka-Rush into efana nentambo eqinile ekucindezelekeni kodwa ebuthakathaka ekucindezelekeni.
Mhlawumbe okukhathaza kakhulu, nokho, yisinqumo sezinsolo ze-OceanGate sokungabuqinisekisi ubuchwepheshe obusha kanye nokuntuleka kokuhlolwa okujulile kolwandle ngaphambi kokuba kuhluleke ekugcineni.
Ngokusho kwecala likaLodge Ridge, isinqumo sagcina senziwe uRush noTony Nissen, i-CTO yenkampani ezinze eWashington.
Kuyo, uLodgeridge uthi laba bobabili basigcinile lesi sikhundla ngemuva kokubathula umbiko wobunjiniyela oshiwo ngenhla ngoJanuwari 2018, lapho, kanye nemibuzo eyayibuzwe ngaphambilini, ochwepheshe bebesebenza engxenyeni yomkhumbi-ngwenya.
Ngenxa yalokhu, uLochridge waveza ukuthi i-Titan idinga ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe, yathi abagibeli bangaba sengozini uma isifinyelele “ekujuleni okukhulu,” ngokwecala elafakwa eNkantolo Yesifunda SaseSeattle kamuva ngalowo nyaka.
Ebhekise ekunqabeni kwakhe ukusayina lo mbhalo, kubikwa ukuthi u-Lodgeridge wabhala, “Iziphakamiso zami zomlomo ngamaphuzu abalulekile okukhulunywe ngawo kulo mbhalo onamathiselwe sezinqatshwe izikhathi eziningi, ngakho manje nginomuzwa wokuthi kufanele ngithumele lo mbiko ukuze kube nerekhodi elisemthethweni. .”“Ndodana.
"I-Cyclops 2 (Titan) akufanele ihanjiswe kunoma yiziphi izivivinyo ezizayo kuze kube yilapho sekuthathwe izinyathelo ezifanele zokulungisa futhi zaqedwa."
Ngokusho kweNew Yorker, uRush wayethukuthele kakhulu waze wacishe waxosha iLodge Ridge khona lapho.
Ngalo lolo suku, i-CEO iphinde yabiza umhlangano lapho yona nabanye abaphathi be-OceanGate begcizelela ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwe-hull akudingekile.
Kunalokho, i-Brass isebenzise uhlelo lokuqapha i-acoustic olukwazi ukubona imicu egugile.Le nkampani yathi ngaleso sikhathi lolu hlelo lwanele ukuxwayisa abashayeli bezindiza ngokuthi kungenzeka kube nokwehluleka okuyinhlekelele, "isikhathi esanele sokuvimbela ukwehla futhi babuyele emhlabathini ngokuphepha".
Zombili izinhlangothi zingene ezinkantolo ezishubile, icala laqulwa ngaphansi kwemibandela engaziwa ngemuva kwezinyanga livuliwe icala.
Ephendula icala lokufa elingafanele, u-OceanGate wamangalela uLoughridge, emsola ngokwephula isivumelwano sokungadaluli futhi wafaka isimangalo sokuthi uxoshwe ngokungeyikho ngokubuza imibuzo mayelana nokuhlolwa nokuphepha.
Esikhaleni sakhe, u-Lodgeridge uthe i-OceanGate ibikhokhisa imali efika ku- $250,000 ukuze ihlale emkhunjini, "okuzobeka abagibeli engozini enkulu kakhulu ekuhlolweni okungaphansi kwamanzi."Uphinde wathi imishini ye-Titanic ayikwazi ukujula cishe ngamamitha angu-13,123, lapho okuphahlazeke khona i-Titanic.
I-CEO ye-OceanGate kanye nomsunguli u-Rush (kwesokunxele) uhlezi nomshayeli wendiza ongaphansi kwamanzi u-Randy Holt ku-Antipodesin submersible yenkampani ngoJuni 28, 2013. U-Rush ungowabantu abazibize ngomaphuli-mthetho izinqumo zakhe ngesikhathi kwakhiwa i-Titan manje okukhulunywa ngazo.
Eposini lebhulogi elinesihloko esithi “Kungani I-Titan Ingazange Ihlukaniswe?”I-OceanGate izwakalise ukuma kwayo ngokuziba imfuno yokuhlukaniswa, iphakamisa ukuthi inqubo izothatha isikhathi eside kakhulu.
Lo mbiko uthi: “Nakuba ama-ejensi okulinganisa ezimisele ukufuna isitifiketi semiklamo nemibono emisha kanye nentsha, ngokuvamile adinga imijikelezo yokugunyaza yeminyaka eminingi ngenxa yokuntuleka kwezindinganiso ezivele zikhona.…
"Ukugcina abantu besithathu benolwazi olunzulu kuwo wonke amasu amasha ngaphambi kokuthi ahlolwe empeleni kuyisiqalekiso sokusungula izinto ngokushesha."
"Izinto ezintsha" zayo zihlanganisa uhlelo lokuqapha impilo ye-real-time hull (RTM), "okwamanje olungambozwanga yinoma iyiphi i-ejensi yokuhlukanisa," kusho inkampani.
I-OceanGate ithi izimiso zayo zokuphepha zangaphakathi zanele.Ibhulogi iphethe ngokuthi "ukulinganisa kukodwa akwanele ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha."
I-Lodgeridge, umsebenzi wayo okwakuwukwengamela ezokuphepha kwe-Titan, yakhuthaza u-Oceangate ukuthi afune ukuhlukaniswa eminyakeni edlule ngaphambi kokuba axoshwe ngenxa yokungaboni ngaso linye mayelana nokuhlolwa kokuphepha kwe-Titan.
Uphinde afune inkampani ukuthi iskene uhlaka lwe-Titan ukuze “ithole amaphutha angenzeka” esikhundleni sokuthi “ithembele ekuqaphelweni kwe-acoustic” okungathola kuphela izinkinga “ama-millisecond ngaphambi kokuqhuma.”
Ukutholwa kubalulekile ngoba abatakuli abazi ukuthi i-Titan ingaphansi kolwandle yini, okwenza kube novalo lokuthi ingase “iqhume” ngaphansi kwengcindezi enkulu.
Ecaleni lika-2018, abameli benkampani bathi uLodgeridge uxoshwe emsebenzini ngoba “wayengamukeleki” ocwaningweni nasezinhlelweni zabo, okuhlanganisa nezimiso zokuphepha.
I-OceanGate iphinde yathi i-Lodgeridge “ifuna ukuxoshwa”, yabelane nabanye ngemininingwane eyimfihlo, futhi yesula nama-hard drive enkampani."Yenqaba ukwamukela imininingwane eminingi yezokuphepha enikezwe unjiniyela omkhulu we-Titan," kusho inkampani.
I-Lodge Ridge ithuthele e-Washington DC isuka e-UK yayosebenza ku-Project Titan, phambilini eyayaziwa nge-Cyclops 2.
Owake waba ngunjiniyela wamasosha asolwandle kanye nomtshuzi weRoyal Navy, u-OceanGate umchaza “njengochwepheshe ekusebenzeni kwemikhumbi-ngwenya kanye nokuhlenga”.
Imibhalo yezomthetho etholwe yiDaiyMail.com ikhombisa ukuthi wabhala umbiko ngo-2018 egxeka inqubo yokwakhiwa kwemikhumbi yenkampani.
I-Lodge Ridge futhi "incoma ngokuqinile ukuthi i-OceanGate isebenzise ama-ejensi wokuhlukanisa njenge-ABS ukuze ahlole futhi aqinisekise i-Titan."
"I-OceanGate iziphikile zombili lezi zicelo futhi yazwakalisa ukungafuni ukukhokha i-ejensi ehlukanisayo ukuze ibuyekeze iphrojekthi yayo yokuhlola," kusho icala.
I-Lodge Ridge “ayizange ivumelane nesimo se-OceanGate sokuthi umkhumbi-ngwenya wacwiliswa ngaphandle kokuhlolwa okungacekeleki phansi ukuze ubonise ubuqotho bawo futhi uveze abagibeli ezingozini ezinkulu ezingaba khona kumkhumbi-ngwenya wokuhlola.”
