New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible’s tragic demise.
I know this entire sub was a shitshow, but… It had an interior wall. Stuff was mounted to that, not directly into the outer hull.
Yes it was insulated and whatnot. It had structural issues but that wasnt one of them
Do you have a source for that? I was trying to figure out if that was the case but couldn’t get evidence
Googling for “titan sub construction” and you can see pictures of it under construction, where the interior is clearly significantly smaller than the exterior, and there’s visible open space past an inner shell.
Apparently the pilot’s seat was on the toilet too. Like, what? How did nobody object to that?
At least they didnt screw anything much into the hull itself (I hope…)
