Amid Lawsuit, Media Share Images of OceanGate Submersible Wreckage on Ocean Floor

Back in the spring of 2023, the crew of the OceanGate submersible died when the hull of the craft failed underwater, on its way to view the wreckage of the Titanic.

It was big news a the time, and tragic. The entire crew -- including the teenage son of one of the passengers -- perished.

Now there's a lawsuit against OceanGate and we're looking at images of the vessel for the first time:

This writer is amazed there was anything recognizable. The water pressure at that depth is tremendous.

More on the lawsuit from The Times:

In opening testimony, OceanGate’s former engineering director, Tony Nissen, described how he had warned that Titan was dangerously unfit for taking sightseers to the wreck of the Titanic four years earlier, and that he was fired for saying so.

Nissen, who was hired in 2016, said that the company’s co-founder, Stockton Rush, was a “difficult person to work with” who repeatedly rejected concerns about the integrity of the capsule despite negative engineering assessments.

“It was the maddest I’ve ever seen him,” Nissen said of Rush’s reaction to his conclusion in 2019 that Titan should not be taken to depth. “He wanted me to sign off on the idea of going to the Titanic and I was [saying] no, you can’t … what we’re doing has never been done before … We don’t know what ‘good’ is supposed to look like. But what I do know is it shouldn’t look like that.

“I wouldn’t sign off on it, so I got terminated,” Nissen testified. “Stockton would fight for what he wanted. He wouldn’t give an inch. Most people would just immediately back down from Stockton; it was almost death by a thousand cuts in most things.”

It's very sad, and maddening.

Wow.

So did this writer.

Not surprising.

Really sad to see those pictures.

Given the information in the lawsuit -- the vessel was apparently stored outside in the elements -- this makes sense.

It is this writer's understanding human remains were found in the wreckage.

Being the mother of a Titanic fan, this makes her very, very sad.

The lawsuit is ongoing, and Twitchy will keep you update as to the outcomes.
