Nennen wir es einen erwartbaren Epilog zu diesem völlig unnötigen, sinnlosen Drama vom Sommer letzten Jahres, als sich Wagemut und Pioniergeist, was den Menschen durchaus auszeichnet, von technischem Leichtsinn, Gier und bodenloser Arroganz ob der Natur hinreißen und ablösen ließen (was den Menschen allerdings auch in gewisser Weise "auszeichnet")...

Zitat:Estate of French explorer who died in Titan submersible sues OceanGatehttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/est...rcna165661
The lawsuit alleges the five on board the submersible that was trying to reach the wreckage of the Titanic would have been aware that the sub was about to implode.
The estate of a French explorer killed along with others in the implosion of the deep-sea submersible Titan last year has sued the company that built it and embarked on the deadly trip to the Titanic wreckage.
The lawsuit, filed by the administrator of the estate of Paul-Henri Nargeolet in Washington state, names that company, OceanGate Inc.; the estate of its co-founder and CEO, Stockton Rush; and other companies. It seeks more than $50 million.
It argues Rush used carbon fiber for the craft's hull, a material not previously used in submersibles; that he refused certification that could have provided the outside expertise that could have prevented the tragedy; and that those aboard most likely would have known they were about to die.
