This is a summary of the posted article (I'm a bot).

David Lochridge was terminated in January 2018 after presenting a scathing quality control report on the vessel. Lochridge’s report detailed “numerous issues that posed serious safety concerns,” according to a court filing. OceanGate sued Lochridge in June 2018, accusing him of sharing confidential information with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) The lawsuit was settled in November 2018; neither OceanGate nor Lochridge could immediately provide details of the alleged report or the reasons for his dismissal.

How do I work?
