Family of explorer who died on doomed Titanic submersible seeks $50M in wrongful death suit

The family of a Titanic explorer who was among those killed in last year’s submersible implosion has slapped a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit on the doomed sub’s operator.

2023年6月,“泰坦”号潜水器在前往北大西洋海底著名沉船地点的途中突然爆炸,77岁的保罗-亨利·纳格奥莱是船上五人之一。

His family filed the wrongful death suit in Washington state on Tuesday against the submersible’s owner, OceanGate, alleging gross negligence.

他的遗产律师辩称,这艘“注定要沉没的潜水器”有一段“麻烦的历史”,海洋之门没有披露有关这艘船及其耐久性的关键事实。

律师们在一份声明中表示:“诉讼进一步称,尽管纳尔格莱特被海洋之门指定为该船的船员之一,但有关该船缺陷和缺点的许多细节都没有披露,而且是故意隐瞒的。”

在登上命运多舛的“海洋之门”潜水器之前,被亲切地称为“泰坦尼克先生”的纳格莱特已经前往泰坦尼克号残骸三十多次。

这位前法国海军指挥官是1987年首次访问沉船现场的人类探险队的一员。

“海洋之门”的发言人拒绝就这起诉讼置评。
