OceanGate, Inc.

泰坦号内爆并非问责测试，因为其耐压壳体非常规。它之所以成为问责测试，是因为 OceanGate 在未确定竣工壳体强度、耐久性和安全使用寿命的情况下将人员送往极端深度；将监测视为它尚未生产的证据的替代品；将决定性审查和潜水权保持在集中的指挥结构内；并且在独立的技术和监管控制可能在这些选择之前提出质疑的范围之外运营。

The Titan implosion was not an accountability test because its pressure hull was unconventional. It became one because OceanGate carried people to extreme depth without establishing the as-built hull's strength, durability and safe service life; treated monitoring as a substitute for evidence it had not produced; kept decisive review and dive authority inside a concentrated command structure; and operated beyond independent technical and regulatory controls that could have challenged those choices before the casualty.
