And the titanium dome fell off.” This was one of over 100 technical failings that the submersible was said to have suffered, including its earlier prototype being hit by lightning, before last June’s catastrophic implosion. It claimed the lives of Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush, 61, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, otherwise known as Mr Titanic, as well as commercial $250,000-a-head customers British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58; Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood, 48; and his son Suleman Dawood, 19. open image in gallery The Titan’s cone fell off as it returned from a dive in 2021, the public inquest heard.
