The company behind the doomed submersible that went missing on a mission to the wreck of the Titanic could face a federal probe for 'negligent homicide', a legal expert has said.
OceanGate may face the probe if the Titan submarine is not found with all five passengers alive - as it turns out that the release forms, which mention 'death' three times, do not actually protect the firm from 'criminal liability.'
Criminal defence attorney Joshua Ritter, a partner with El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers, said that a combination of governments are likely to get involved and investigate the company - likely all on their own terms.
