Oceangate faces online fury over ‘insensitive’ submersible pilot job posting during Titan disaster

The recent incident involving the ‘Titan Sub Tragedy’ seems to have had no impact on Ocean Gate as the company has stated an urgent requirement for ‘Submersible Pilots/Marine Technicians’ during the unfortunate incident.

Oceangate Expeditions, which was already under significant scrutiny due to the tragic loss of five lives aboard its ill-fated submarine destined for the Titanic, is now facing further criticism because of this job listing.

The online world has been abuzz with conversation surrounding a recent job advertisement that aimed to find a candidate who could oversee and operate OceanGate’s collection of crude submersibles and accompanying vessels.

The list specifically highlights the need for a person capable of performing maintenance work on submarines and efficiently operating the complex systems involved in their underwater missions.
