The stepson of one of the passengers who died aboard the Titan submersible (not the already infamous Brian Szasz) opened up about the “nightmare” that was the past few days while anxiously awaiting any sort of news about the victims on board.
John Paschall spoke with SkyNews on Friday about his now-deceased stepfather Paul-Henri Nargeolet, recalling how the “fearless” French sub pilot had taken numerous trips to the Titanic wreckage in the past. He shared that Paul-Henri told him back in May that he planned to head down to the shipwreck site. John didn’t know the exact day of his stepdad’s voyage, but they had plans to meet up again in early July.

However, the Titan submersible carrying Paul-Henri and four other passengers — Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, and OceanGate‘s own CEO Stockton Rush — went missing on Sunday, prompting a massive search mission. John told SkyNews that he and his family were “so hopeful” that Paul-Henri and the others were still alive up until Thursday morning, especially when they heard that there were “banging sounds” detected by sonar equipment near where the sub first vanished. He said:
Four days later, though, it was confirmed that the vessel had imploded, killing all five passengers. Not only that, it seems it happened very early on in the descent, so all that hope was false.
Upon hearing the news, John said he and his family were left completely heartbroken:
We cannot imagine the pain John’s family and the other victims’ loved ones must be feeling right now. Our hearts continue to go out to them during this difficult time. You can watch John’s entire conversation with

Titanic” director James Cameron spoke out during an ABC News interview about the tourist submersible Titan that lost contact on its way to reach the Titanic. After submarine company OceanGate released a statement on Thursday saying that the five people who went down are believed dead, Cameron gave his thoughts on the tragedy as a longtime member of the diving community, who has made 33 trips to the Titanic himself. “People in the community were very concerned about this sub,” Cameron said. “A number of the top players in the deep submergence engineering community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and that it needed to be certified. I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night and many people died as a result. For us, it’s a very similar tragedy where warnings went unheeded. To take place at the same exact site with all the diving that’s going on all around the world, I think it’s just astonishing. It’s really quite surreal.”
