Calls for International Investigation into Iraq Wedding Fire due to Gross Negligence

An investigation into the deadly fire that engulfed a wedding hall in northern Iraq, killing over 100 people, has revealed "gross negligence" and lack of safety measures as the cause. The hall's owner and three staff members allowed 900 people into a venue designed for a maximum of 400. The fire, which was accidental, spread quickly due to flammable decorations and the lack of sufficient exit doors. The investigation recommends legal action against local officials and financial support for the families of the victims.

Legal and Safety Issues Surrounding the Titan Submersible

Families of the passengers aboard the submersible lost near the Titanic may be able to sue OceanGate even if the victims signed liability waivers, legal experts say. The deceased passengers are believed to have signed liability waivers, but waivers face limitations, and the families of the victims might ultimately win a liability lawsuit against the company. The key question is whether OceanGate acted with reckless disregard for safety when it launched Titan on the fatal mission. Even if plaintiffs prove a liability claim, there may be little compensation the families can collect from OceanGate.
