titan's hull was made from carbon fiber in six weeks as per big wup stockton's instructions. carbon fiber is great for binocular bodies but not for deep sea depths. couldn't big wup stockton have considered manganese steel or titanium?

a friend of big wup stockton said on a dive he heard cracking sounds from the hull at 300 feet but big wup stockton said it was just the carbon fiber getting comfy and another guy had the audacity to ask big wup stockton if he was gonna take people down before the cracking was investigated, that guy was fired after the meeting...
carbon fiber is light, strong and known to be brittle. I had a monocular made from it and the material eventually flaked. I would suggest that the implosion was a result of structural fatague after repeated dives but just try and tell big wup stockton something like that.

I would suggest that the implosion was a result of structural fatague after repeated dives but just try and tell big wup stockton something like that. More about the guy who worked for Big Wup Stockton and had a problem with safety of sub: David Lochridge, OceanGate’s director of marine operations, wrote an engineering report in 2018 that said the craft under development needed more testing and that passengers might be endangered when it reached “extreme depths,” according to a lawsuit filed that year in U.S. District Court in Seattle. OceanGate sued Lochridge that year, accusing him of breaching a non-disclosure agreement, and he filed a counterclaim alleging that he was wrongfully fired for raising questions about testing and safety. The case settled on undisclosed terms several months after it was filed. Lochridge's concerns primarily focused on the company's decision to rely on sensitive acoustic monitoring — cracking or popping sounds made by the hull under pressure — to detect flaws, rather than a scan of the hull. Lochridge said the company told him no equipment existed that could perform such a test on the 5-inch-thick (12.7-centimeter-thick) carbon-fiber hull. |

Stockton Rush bragged about how he got the carbon fiber for his sub at a discount because it was past it's shelf life. it has been reported that the 19 year old son of one of the british pakistanis was terrified of going down in the thing but he went because he wanted to honor his father for Fathers Day. Stockton Rush tried to apply wokeness to oceanographic excursions and he took himself out along with 4 innocent people. the only bight spot in this tragedy is that this moneygrubbing scam artist won't be endangering any more people...the skunk! "Jacques Cousteau eat my planckton."

Discussing this topic over at SSO is forbidden. I've had two threads deleted there that attempted to shed light on why this submersible was such a failure. Too political for the administrator there.

That's odd. How is that political? It's a current event. www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65994707 "Hollywood film director James Cameron, who directed the 1997 movie Titanic, has told the BBC the team who built the submersible which imploded with the loss of five lives had "cut corners". OceanGate, the parent company of the Titan sub, "didn't get certified because they knew they wouldn't pass". "I was very suspect of the technology that they were using. I wouldn't have gotten in that sub," he said. Cameron has completed 33 submersible dives to the Titanic wreck. " Big Wup Cameron's sub looks much different. Then again, it was not made for taking rich tourists sightseeing |

How does he forbid it as political?
