谁能想到泰坦潜水器会如此粗制滥造（观点）
Opinion: Few expected Titan submersible not subjected to industry-standard test

失踪的泰坦号潜水器曾引发了人们的猜测狂想。在潜水器残骸找到之前，来自世界各地的人们都在焦急地期盼着那五位潜入高深莫测的海底欲观看百年沉船的航海探险家和亿万富翁们的下落。许多人没想到泰坦潜水器本身会经不住深海压力，认为不是在潜水器上的“七个上浮海面机制”的协助下，正在大西洋海上某处漂浮，就是潜水器正被泰坦尼克号附近的拖渔网和其他漂流物质卡住而被困海底，动弹不得。声纳设备所获的撞击声更是让人们猜测船上五名男子仍还活着，那有节奏的撞击声很可能来自急切希望获救的他们使用硬物撞击潜水器壁而发出的求救信号。

The missing submersible Titan had sparked a speculation frenzy as people across the world looked anxiously to find out what happened to the crew of seafaring explorers and billionaires who vanished after plunging into the ocean's depths to see the storied century-old wreck. Many assumed Titan was intact and the “seven different return-to–surface backup systems" would send it to the ocean surface, bobbing somewhere on the remote Atlantic. Others imagined it got caught in lost trawler fishing nets and other drifting materials near the Titanic, rendering the submersible unable to move. The banging sounds picked up by the sonar equipment gave them hope that the five men aboard were still alive, making distress signals by hitting a hard object against the sub.
但一些业内人士表示，他们在潜艇失踪后的第二天早上就知道了真相，早在美国海岸警卫队宣布这艘潜艇在出发后不到两小时内发生了 灾难性压力内爆，导致船上所有人员死亡之前。 电影导演兼深海探险家詹姆斯·卡梅隆曾30多次潜入泰坦尼克号残骸，他表示，当他听说潜水器在下降过程中失去导航和通讯时，他就知道悲剧发生了。 卡梅伦对媒体表示，他与深潜领域的许多专家长期以来一直担心该船的安全，对OceanGate 对潜水器安全性掉以轻心，不当回事的态度，以及该公司对专家要求潜水器接受标准认证的呼吁置之不理的做法非常不满。
But some industry insiders say they knew the truth the morning after its disappearance, long before the US coast guards announced that the sub suffered a catastrophic pressure implosion less than two hours after its departure, killing all people on board. Film director and deep-sea explorer James Cameron, who has made more than 30 dives to the wreckage of the Titanic, said he knew the tragedy had happened as soon as he heard the submersible had lost navigation and communications during its descent. Cameron, along with many others in the deep submergence community, had long been concerned about the vessel's safety and OceanGate's experimental approach, he told the media, lamenting that the company had ignored experts' calls to undergo a standard certification process.
OceanGate 前海事运营总监戴维·洛奇里奇 (David Lochridge) 是对潜艇内爆并不感到惊讶的专家之一。 根据 2018 年 1 月的质量检查报告和随后的诉讼，洛奇里奇对泰坦尼克号能否承受潜入 4000 米（泰坦尼克号海底深度）的压力表示担忧。 他发现潜水器前部的观察口设计只能承受 1,300 米的认证压力，而不是预期的 4000 米深度产生的毁灭性压力。 但“OceanGate 拒绝支付制造商建造满足 4,000 米深度要求的视口的费用，”他补充道。
Among the experts who weren't surprised about the sub’s implosion was David Lochridge, the former Director of Marine Operations at OceanGate. According to a January 2018 quality inspection report and a lawsuit ensued, Lochridge flagged concerns over the Titan’s ability to stand up to the pressure of diving into 4000 meters, the depth where the Titanic lay on the ocean floor. He discovered the viewport at the forward of the submersible was designed to endure a certified pressure of only 1,300 meters rather than a crushing pressure generated by the intended 4000-meter depth. But “OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters,” he added.
当洛奇里奇“再次表达了对与泰坦有关的质量控制和安全问题的担忧”并“坚持要求 OceanGate 对实验船体进行无损测试”，并敦促 OceanGate 通过认证机构来认证潜水器之安全性后他被 “立即解雇”并限 10 分钟内立即离开公司。
When Lochridge “again expressed concerns regarding the quality control and safety issues relating to the Titan” and “insisted that OceanGate perform non-destructive testing on the experimental hull” — in addition to urging OceanGate to use an agency to certify the submersible — he was “immediately fired" and given 10 minutes to exit the premises.
洛奇里奇表示，他的被解雇导致每人支付 25 万美元的OceanGate客户们在经历一生难得的海洋探险经历时对自身的危险处境一无所知。 洛奇里奇在投诉中表示：“这些付费乘客对这种敷衍性设计、对船体从未进行无损检测，或者潜水器内使用了危险和易燃材料的现状毫不知情。”
According to Lochridge, his dismissal left OceanGate customers who pay an average of $250,000 per person to take the “once-in-a-lifetime missions” in the dark about the submersible's potential danger as it went ever deeper into the ocean. “The paying passengers would not be aware, and would not be informed, of this experimental design, the lack of non-destructive testing of the hull, or that hazardous and flammable materials were being used within the submersible,”, said Lochridge in the complaint.
同样被蒙在鼓里的还有那些认为潜水艇会像飞机起飞前一样经过严格的质量检测和潜水前准备过程。 他们被近一周的泰坦潜水器失踪之谜折腾的神会颠倒，幻想了所有可能导致潜水器神秘失踪的原因，但却很有人想到如此不安全的设计和建造给潜水器所带来的这一灾难性的后果。
Also left in the dark were people who assumed the sub would have undergone stringent quality assurance and pre-dive preparations processes like pre-departed airplanes. Captivated by the mystery of the missing Titan for almost a week, they had fantasized about all possible scenarios that may lead to the mysterious disappearance of the Titan, except the ones caused by the risky safety standards the design and construction of the sub subjected to.
