ORLANDO, Fla. - The Florida couple who sued OceanGate Expedition CEO Richard Stockton Rush has decided to drop the lawsuit, they said in a statement to FOX 35 News. Marc and Sharon Hagle filed the lawsuit back in February after Rush reportedly refused to refund the couple over $210,000 they claimed to have spent on an expedition that was supposed to happen in June 2018, court records show. Now, the Winter Park couple released a statement Monday about the legal matter at hand days after five people aboard the Titan submersible reportedly died after a "catastrophic implosion" near the site of the Titanic shipwreck. Rush was one of those passengers. "Like most around the world, we have watched the coverage of the OceanGate Titan capsule with great concern and enormous amount of sadness and compassion for the families of those who lost their lives," Sharon and Marc Hagle said in a statement. "We honor their zest for life, as well as their commitment to the exploration of our oceans. "As has been reported, we have been involved in a legal dispute with Stockton Rush, CEO/Founder of OceanGate.

Titanic wreckage suddenly imploded.All hopes for a positive outcome vanished Thursday when the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed it found debris belonging to OceanGate Expedition’s Titan near the famous ocean liner at the bottom of the North Atlantic.The submersible’s disappearance Sunday set off an international rescue mission that captivated the world’s attention given its link to the Titanic.

James Cameron, director of the blockbuster film Titanic, has criticized the engineering of the lost Titan submersible, calling its design “fundamentally flawed.”In an interview with ABC News, Cameron — who designs submersibles himself, some able to dive to depths three times below the Titanic site — said OceanGate Expedition’s vessel should not have been constructed from carbon fiber.OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who was one of five passengers killed onboard the Titan submersible that disappeared on Sunday, defended the use of carbon fiber in 2017, claiming the material was lighter, cheaper and easier to transport while still being durable under pressure. Traditionally, submersibles are constructed using titanium, steel or other materials that can withstand immense pressure underwater.Cameron, 68, told the news outlet that members of the “small” deep-diving community had been warning about safety flaws in the Titan’s design since Rush boasted about the use of carbon fiber in the hull.He claimed many “very concerned” engineers and deep-sea divers wrote letters to OceanGate insisting the Titan was too experimental to carry human passengers.The Titan launched on Sunday and was reported overdue that afternoon about 700 kilometers south of St.

Alberta’s largest city slid down to seventh place this year, tied with Zurich, Switzerland, and is now sandwiched between Vancouver (#5) and Toronto (#9).Calgary’s dip can likely be attributed to what the EIU calls “a return to order” following the COVID-19 pandemic.Last year saw Australian cities take a big tumble in the rankings after a particularly infectious strain of COVID seized the island continent.“They have seen their scores in the health care category improve since last year, when they were still affected by Covid waves that stressed their healthcare systems,” said the research firm.However, Canada was the only country in the world to have three of its cities crack the Top 10.
