Crew of Titan sub knew they were going to die before implosion, family of explorer claim in lawsuit

ABC  

The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion has filed a lawsuit for more than $75million, saying the crew experienced "terror and mental anguish" before the disaster and accusing the sub's operator of gross negligence. Paul-Henri Nargeolet was among five people who died when the Titan submersible imploded during a voyage to the famed Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic in June 2023. "While the exact cause of failure may never be determined, experts agree that the Titan's crew would have realised exactly what was happening," the lawsuit states. The suit also criticises Titan's "hip, contemporary, wireless electronics system, and states that none of the controller, controls or gauges would work without a constant source of power and a wireless signal". "Decedent Nargeolet may have died doing what he loved to do, but his death — and the deaths of the other Titan crew members — was wrongful," the lawsuit states.
