The passengers of the ill-fated Titan submersible, which sank in 2023, knew how it would end.

Before this, it was assumed that sea travelers did not even have time to understand anything.

The Guardian reports that the family of the deceased Frenchman Paul-Henri Narjol intends to sue the company that manufactured the bathyscaphe for $50 million (4.6 billion rubles) in compensation.

This amount is due to the suffering that passengers experienced at depth.

Narzhole's relatives are sure that their relative and other travelers understood in their last minutes what awaited them. They had moments to realize it.

The exact cause of the crash is unlikely to be determined. But experts agree that the Titan crew knew they were going to die soon.

Narzhole's relatives tried to reconstruct the chronology of his last minutes.

The acoustic safety system warned passengers that the carbon fibre would crack under intense pressure.

This could have prompted the helmsman to drop ballast, which would have interrupted the dive.
