The company operating the ill-fated Titan submersible could attempt to avoid legal liability by taking advantage of the same law used by the owners of the doomed Titanic more than a century ago – in a tragically macabre full-circle development, according to legal experts.
A five-day search for OceanGate Expedition’s tourist submersible came to a grim conclusion when officials confirmed the discovery of debris consistent with a “catastrophic implosion” presumed to have claimed the lives of all five passengers. Days later, the US Coast Guard confirmed “presumed human remains” had been recovered from the sea floor and debris from the vessel was seen being returned to dry land in Canada.
