Titan submersible operator used ‘intimidation tactics' to evade scrutiny, report finds
The tour operator responsible for the Titan submersible, which fatally imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, 'leveraged intimidation tactics … to evade regulatory scrutiny', a US Coast Guard investigation report has concluded. The incident resulted in the deaths of five people in June 2023 – including British adventurer Hamish Harding and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood.

On Tuesday, the US Coast Guard published a 335-page report in which identified eight 'primary causal factors' that led to the fatal implosion. British adventurer Hamish Harding was one of five people on board the vessel when it imploded (Dirty Dozen Productions/PA) The report said OceanGate had a 'toxic workplace environment' and used the 'looming threat of being fired' to prevent staff from coming forward with safety concerns. It added that analysis revealed a 'disturbing pattern of misrepresentation and reckless disregard for safety'.

The tour operator's former director of engineering was reported by the US Coast Guard to have said the first hull used on the Titan submersible was akin to a 'high school project'. According to the report, a contractor hired by OceanGate in 2022 voiced 'numerous safety concerns' to a company director, before being told: 'You have a bad attitude, you don't have an explorer mindset, you know, we're innovative and we're cowboys, and a lot of people can't handle that.'

British man charged after 'trying to drown daughter-in-law on dream family holiday'
Mark Gibbon, from Beaconsfield, was arguing with his 33-year-old daughter-in-law in a swimming pool inside the Solterra Resort in Davenport, Florida, when he allegedly tried to drown her A British tourist has been charged after allegedly attempting to drown his daughter-in-law during a family holiday in Florida. Mark Gibbon, 62, from Beaconsfield, was arguing with his 33-year-old daughter-in-law in a swimming pool inside the luxury Solterra Resort in Davenport, Florida, when he allegedly tried to drown her. According to police, officers were called to the home after neighbours reported a "disturbance in a backyard swimming pool" on Sunday. It comes as a man brutally killed a woman on first date and left her body parts around town. The daughter-in-law told authorities that Gibbon had pushed and held her head underwater multiple times during the argument. Her 9-year-old daughter was forced to jump into the pool to try to stop the alleged drowning. Gibbon only stopped the attempted drowning after two sisters on holiday next door called police, according to authorities. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Gibbon may be spending "a lot more time in Florida than he anticipated" after the alleged attack. The 62-year-old was arrested and taken to the Polk County Jail where he has been charged with attempted second-degree murder, and battery. Polk County Sheriff said: "Gibbon is accused of pushing and holding the victim's head under water multiple times, preventing her from breathing. "The victim stated that Gibbon only stopped after a pair of sisters from Ohio who were vacationing next door said that they called the Sheriff's Office." Mr Judd said holidaymakers must behave themselves if they visit Florida. "It's great that Polk County draws visitors from all across the world, but we expect vacationers to behave while they visit with us, just as we expect our lifelong residents to do the same," Judd added. It comes as a son is accused of leaving his 73-year-old dad to die in a bathtub after allegedly setting fire to his home, according to police. Clinton Hadley, 40, has been charged with murder after he admitted to intentionally burning down his father's home and leaving his father to die. The suspect was seen driving away from the home in Texas before smoke exited the house. 73-year-old Floyd Hadley called 999 on July 21 to try and plead for help, but he was unable to get out of the bathtub. When emergency services arrived, the home was engulfed in flames. Tragically, the dad was found dead in a bathtub. A preliminary autopsy indicated he had smoke in his lungs. According to Clinton Hadley's aunt, a day before the fire, she had called the police and asked for a welfare check at the home after he made comments "about setting the home on fire." It is unclear if a welfare check was carried out. On the day of the fire, CCTV showed the suspect jumping a fence and entering a parked car in the driveway. Ten seconds later, he drives away, as smoke is seen coming from the back of the home. The car was found to belong to Clinton Hadley, who was arrested on July 23. In custody, he admitted to starting the Texas house fire, according to court documents. "Clinton admitted to detectives he knowingly and intentionally set fire to furniture in his room, before fleeing in his vehicle,' police said. "Clinton admitted he wanted to burn the house down and get away from his family."

Negligence of Titan tour operator chief contributed to implosion deaths
British adventurer Hamish Harding, father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, and French national Paul-Henri Nargeolet, were also killed in the incident. The report, authored by lead investigator Thomas Whalen and marine board chairman Jason Neubauer, concluded that in Mr Rush's case, there was evidence of 'potential criminal offences'. It concluded Mr Rush had 'exhibited negligence that contributed to the deaths of four individuals' and may have been accused of 'misconduct or neglect of ship officers' had he survived the incident. The offence carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison in the US. The report said OceanGate had a 'toxic workplace environment' and used the 'looming threat of being fired' to prevent staff from coming forward with safety concerns. It added that analysis revealed a 'disturbing pattern of misrepresentation and reckless disregard for safety'. On Tuesday, the US Coast Guard published a lengthy report which identified eight 'primary causal factors' that led to the fatal implosion.

'The lack of both third-party oversight and experienced OceanGate employees on staff during their 2023 Titan operations allowed OceanGate's chief executive officer to completely ignore vital inspections, data analyses, and preventative maintenance procedures, culminating in a catastrophic event.' Addressing potential criminality, the report said: 'Had OceanGate's CEO and chief pilot survived the incident, the MBI (Marine Board of Investigation) would have recommended that the commandant refer the matter to DoJ (Department of Justice) for their consideration on whether to pursue a separate criminal investigation. 'The MBI concluded that Mr Rush, in his dual role as CEO and as the acting master or pilot of the Titan submersible, exhibited negligence that contributed to the deaths of four individuals. 'As both a corporate executive responsible for the vessel's operation and its master during the casualty, Mr Rush may have been subject to criminal liability under the standards set forth in 18 USC § 1115 (misconduct or neglect of ship officers).'
