Inside the Titanic sub disaster

This week a submersible carrying passengers to the site of the wreck of the Titanic disappeared in the North Atlantic; all five aboard perished in a catastrophic implosion. Correspondent David Pogue, who rode in the same underwater vehicle last year, reports on this latest disaster, and looks back on his interviews with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and deep-sea explorer P.H. Nargeolet, who were among those killed.

That submarine captain was the best person you’ve had on to talk about it. He explained in a way that made sense why it failed.

The carbon fibre in and of itself was a problem. Anyone who has dealt with composite over-wrapped pressure vessels would have looked at this and shuddered.

Good journalism.

[@CaseyReads]

Most people don't know anything about deep-sea diving, so when someone tells you they're an expert and they sound as confident as Stockton does, you're going to believe them when they tell you that what they're doing is safe. The waivers they had to fill out may have said "experimental sub" and "possibility of death", but it's easy to ignore that when you're being told something is safe and you don't know any better. I think it was extremely unethical to put passengers in an experimental sub without attaining proper certification. There's a reason that certification exists, and it's to avoid this exact kind of catastrophy. If Stockton wanted to risk his own life, fine, but passengers??? Astoundingly stupid

[@yahiaaymankamaly3518]

Astonishing. Everything about this story is astonishing. The ego. The lack of experience and expertise. The gall to take peoples money onto/into an unregistered, uncertified vehicle.

As James Cameron said: it’s ironic that Rush died next to the Titanic in much the same way that doomed the ship itself. I’m not sure that I feel much for those who joined him, other than the kid. He was 19. The others should’ve had more sense. Instead they only had more money.

[@allangibson8494]

The three different materials weren’t the problem titanium and acrylic plug windows have been used for decades. Carbon fibre is however problematic in and of itself. Carbon fibre has no compressive strength. All the compressive loads are carried by the epoxy binder - and OceanGate bought that epoxy as “time expired” surplus from Boeing. The radial winding process they used to build the required thickness is also suspect as it produces shear planes from the outside of the hull to the inside with no resistance to bending forces. The hull design was also questionable in that the NASA modelling recommended 175mm (7”) of composite and OceanGate used 125mm (5”).
