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.
