Among those who lost their lives were OceanGate’s founder Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French maritime expert Paul-Henri-Nargeolet, and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood with his young son Suleman. This tragic event left a mark on many, as the individuals were well-known figures in their respective fields.
In September, video footage emerged showing the broken tail cone of the submersible on the ocean floor, a grim reminder of the disaster.
