The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion has filed a more than $50 million lawsuit, 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 implodedduring a voyage to the famed Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic in June 2023. No one survived the trip aboard the experimental submersible owned by OceanGate, a company in Washington state that has since suspended operations.
I feel so bad for the kid, he didn’t wanna fucking go but his dad pressured him to do it.
Pun intended?
His family was crushed when they found out.
Bruh
Ignore their comment, don’t sink to their level.
Whoa hey, we may never know the depths of their anguish. No need to get salty either. Some people just play the game of life with the wrong controller.
These puns are causing me mental anguish. Please mail a check for $50 million.
Sir, you only have $43,000 in your bank account. How about seeing if you get approval for a Chase Sapphire Card?
Agreed. Yet, on the other hand, this article suggests the father understood the magnitude of his assholery in the moments before he suffered the consequences. He understood he had murdered his son and himself.
That by no means makes any of it okay and I don’t even think it is the bright side of events, but I take some satisfaction in knowing that motherfucker understood that those were his final moments and the final moments of his son, and that it was all perfectly preventable, and that he hadn’t done so - and all the money in the world wasn’t going to change that.
That is the exact level of suffering all these rich assholes who exploit and abuse the world and the people around them for fun and profit deserve, but so few get. Suffering never makes me happy, but there is something satisfying in that knowledge.
According to the lawsuit, the Titan “dropped weights” about 90 minutes into its dive, indicating the team had aborted or attempted to abort the dive. “While the exact cause of failure may never be determined, experts agree that the Titan’s crew would have realized exactly what was happening,” the lawsuit states. “Common sense dictates that the crew were well aware they were going to die, before dying.”
Is there anything worse than knowing you’re going to die long before your time but powerless to stop it? Oh, knowing you took your kid out with you probably counts.
I feel bad for the explorer and the kid and not a single other soul aboard this vessel. I empathize more with the microbes inside the shit that probably stained Stockton Rush’s pants than with Stockton Rush himself.
His name was “Stockton Rush”?
Tell me you chose your own name as soon as you were legally able, without telling me you changed your name as soon as you were legally able.
He didn’t though. He was born Richard Stockton Rush III
That’s Dick Rush the third to you
Why not keep it Dick Rush?
Probably couldn’t get a date
Rich people choose pompous names and pass them down.
weird flex but ok
Why tf do I have to imagine Stockton Rush holding Erwin’s speech before the sub implodes
I am so fucking spoiled
