The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion has filed a more than $50 million lawsuit. They accuse the sub’s operator of gross negligence, alleging that the crew experienced “terror and mental anguish” before the disaster. The submersible, owned by a company in Washington state, imploded during a voyage to the Titanic wreck site in June 2023. No one survived the trip aboard the experimental submersible. The lawsuit claims that key facts about the vessel and its durability were not disclosed by the company. The cause of the implosion is unknown.
