Paul-Henri Nargeolet was aboard the Titan during a dive to examine the wreck of the RMS Titanic when it tragically imploded, resulting in the deaths of all on board. The lawsuit accuses OceanGate of gross negligence, as reported by the Associated Press. On June 18, 2023, while surveying the iconic wreck, a malfunction caused Titan to implode. The crew included OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush at the controls, British businessman Hamish Harding, and Pakistani father-son duo Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. The suit claims that minutes before their demise, crew members likely realized they were facing death. It suggests they may have heard increasing crackling sounds from carbon fiber as water pressure mounted on Titan\u2019s hull and lost communication\u2014and possibly power\u2014while continuing to descend with an awareness of irreversible failures occurring within their vessel. Furthermore, it alleges that many details regarding flaws and deficiencies in Titan were not disclosed or were intentionally hidden by OceanGate. The Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg on April 15, 1912, resulting in over 1,500 fatalities; RMS Titanic Inc., which holds salvage rights to its wreckage, is set to conduct a survey expedition this month<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3042,"featured_media":2321223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/titan-submersible-titanic-oceangate.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[15386,37552,37551],"class_list":["post-2321222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-implosion","tag-mental-anguish","tag-titan-submersible"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/titan-submersible-titanic-oceangate.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3042"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2321222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2321223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2321222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2321222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2321222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
