Titan sub implosion: What we know about catastrophic event


Recommended Posts

Posted

Looking at the manufacturing process of the carbon fiber shell video again, it appears that they are using pre preg tape which would have absolutely required an autoclave to cure correctly and a controlled environment to apply. The method used is called hoop construction and should never be used in a pressure or vacuum system as there is no interface between the edges of the tape.

Interesting to note that under the drum used to wind the tape on, are a pile of absorbent cloths to catch the resin oozing out of the tape.

Unconfirmed at present but seems genuine.

 

'Transcript of Titan sub’s final communication’ leaked online – but is it real?

Screenshots of what purports to be the Titan submersible’s final communications before its tragic destruction have gone viral online.

The unconfirmed script alleges to reveal the final words shared between someone on board the sub – presumably OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush – and the team on board its mothership the Polar Prince.

The document has raised a number of concerns, most notably by suggesting that passengers were aware of issues with the vessel some 18 minutes before its devastating implosion.

When the CEO says it's fine, who's going to argue?

Foolish or otherwise, he put his money (and life) where his mouth was.

Unfortunately he put other people’s lives on the same punt.

Indeed, but he's as dead as they are.
