New details emerge in Titan sub implosion

[@LadyHeathersLair]

I wish the news media would stop calling these people “mission specialists “.

[@TimCortesi]

They were defined as "mission specialists" for legal purposes because the vehicle wasn't licensed to carry tourists. It was a legal loophole, but technically correct to refer to them by that designation (at least retrospectively).

[@ProjectApollo747]

Put more emphasis on “special”

[@MaryClareVideos]

I’ve been watching the Coast Guard hearings. 😮

[@innocentnemesis3519]

“With exploration, there is risk.” Ok, but that isn’t the full story of what happened here… this isn’t about an exploration that went awry, it was about an entire company being built on a lie for profit.

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

thank you. these people keep saying "its not supposed to be safe! its supposed to be for adventure!" like what

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

that's why we have governments, rules, regulations, inspections, laws, testing... morons LOL

[@Mewtube-AMK]

"Ocean Gate has suspended its operations since the fatal accident." Well duh. The whole business literally and metaphorically imploded.

[@lpr5269]

Hello Ocean Gate are you still doing trips down to the Titanic? Hello? Hello?

[@vangroover1903]

The bereaved families are said to be crushed by the loss of their loved ones.

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

Calling them "mission specialists" is like calling redditors "investigators"

[@Brotherman7]

All I needed to know is he went against regulations using carbon fiber in a submersible. FAAFO.

[@kateskeys]

You know this stuff a bit⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@SM-Flyers]

There are no "regulations." Also the US Navy had tested some carbon fiber diving vessels. So the Ocean Gate folks built on those ideas but very poorly and without regard to ensuring a good design.

[@eoghancallaghy2634]

​@@SM-Flyers"tested" is the important word there.

[@albertmiller3082]

Taking needless risks and assigning consequences to the “Danger is Inevitable” file reflects immature thinking and narcissistic behavior. Ego killed these five, not system failures.

[@danperlman230]

Ego and capital (e.g. aiming to be as cheap as possible)

[@FEBRIZIOtv]

A submersible named "Titan" that used carbon fiber instead of titanium is peak irony.

[@Heisablessing]

This guy probably thought he was God like. He ignored every warning from his employees and other specialists that this was not safe. He was arrogant and cared more about his fame than people's lives. If he was some evil genius he wouldn't have put himself in the Titan sub. He just was arrogant and too "positive."

[@mountainkitties]

He was a descendant of 2 different founding fathers. His ancestors literally signed this country into law.

[@mrmelmba]

Prior to the dive, difficulty arose with keeping the Titan horizontal. Descending through a fluid a craft cannot rely on free fall to arrive at its destination, but needs fins to control its direction of travel, which were lacking in the basic design. The point of failure was the brittle glue connection between the titanium cone and the carbon fibre hull. Even this expedition might have completed successfully. The Titanic was already in sight. However, the craft was descending faster than normal and an error in judgment resulted in the Titan touching the ocean floor sooner than expected and at an angle instead of landing flat on its platform. Even a relatively small jolt would have been sufficient for the epoxy to separate from the titanium ring. Epoxy glue clings tenaciously and it is almost impossible to separate two parts joined together with the application of heat, but when chilled near freezing the brittle substance cracks with ease from even a minor shock. The junction of the cone to the hull should have been similar to that in metal plumbing pipe couplings with a convex rim of the cone pressing into a concave grove in the ring so that the more outside pressure that is exerted the tighter the seal, which would also withstand failure from the application of lateral forces. Bolts, in addition to glue. Primary failure was not due to the carbon fibre hull collapsing, but spread from the point of separation of the ring.

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

aren't there laws against this LOL ok, tomorrow, I'm sending you to Mars, ok?

[@Tizzz250]

I watched 4K video of the titanic wreckage in great detail…from the safety of my own home. $500,000 a piece to “be next to it?” I wouldn’t have gone for free.

[@YortOK]

Possibly. The violence of the implosion detached the rear cone and the entire front dome. The flow of energy seems to go from front to back of the vessel.

[@NekoTamer15]

Why does the title say new details? These are the same details I've been hearing since the disaster

[@yates6608]

I don't understand why people want to go down that deep to see the Titanic, its just a rotting ship 🤷‍♂️ what is there to see

[@micahrutland9021]

Cuz they're fascinated with it. Some people have interests that other people can't relate to or understand. Simple as that.

[@TheSkyrimSimmer]

Over the years the ship has changed with the metal degrading due to the ocean water and want to see what is still left of it.

[@johndoles3713]

Lots of treasure

[@davidmurray6176]

The trip went terribly wrong bc S.Rush was at the helm of a submersible made out of home depot materials. The 3 adults with him were dumb af and the a son knew it was a disaster in the making. He just wanted to please his dad. Imagine the look on dad's face when both him and his son started hearing the crackling noises in that starfish of the sea tunacan they were stuck in with no way to escape.

[@riogetthebag226]

"it was never supposed to be "safe"? That makes sense if no lives were going to be involved in the project.

[@josephjoestar515]

@@whatyourname7748 I agree, but it goes to show the level of bondheaded decisions put into this sub.

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

(sigh) The US Navy uses similar devices as an input device in some applications. The use of the Logitech controller was not "dumb", nor did it play into the demise of the vessel.

[@Imaan815]

Very Tragic 😢

[@Drcragory]

You would have to be insane to think that there wouldn't be any kind of danger getting into any submersible and going to visit a wreck 2 km underneath the ocean. I'm sure there was concerns about the thrasher and the scorpion and those were both government approved subs.

[@vangroover1903]

After the implosion they should have renamed it the Titan-ICK!!!!!

[@buzz5969]

The only details required is anyone riding it was a fool.😊

[@laskey2175]

3.77 km That is very deep. A human would be crushed down to the size of a hotdog faster than an explosion. And seeing as they more than 3 times deeper than Henry's Law would require, at that depth the air inside of the vessel would not have even formed a bubble. Even the air itself would have been instantly absorbed into the water.

[@emilysmith575]

“With exploration, there is risk.” Okay but there is a difference between risk and recklessness. Stockton Rush’s hubris led these people to their death.

[@voxpopuli5663]

This said nothing new

[@Mark-eh3mv]

Yes, because obvioulsy we need an investigation in order to inform people that "with exploration, there is risk." Who knew????

[@brianlee3508]

Well. It takes an implosion to start an investigation? No one bother to before or attempt to stop the operation? Loopholes from dive site in international water but no flagging of red flags from port of the uncertified sub operate from or where the company is based?

[@divscuba7096]

Can you all imagine if the CEO Stockton never dived that day and was still alive to this day. He would have either been murdered or put on death row.

[@johnwright291]

With exploration there is always risk. Give me a break. It had absolutely nothing to do with exploration. Talk about self delusional people.

[@dulguunjargal1199]

Some Extra Salt in the Wound to use a Government Submarine to find and film the wreckage of a Libertarian Submarine that imploded due to ignoring Government regulations 😂

[@SS-iw2nq]

Titan CEO Stockton Rush fired one of his engineers who wrote him a letter of concern on the reliability of the carbon fiber hull. Stockton was arrogant, naive, attention seeking, and put lives at risk for his “explorer” mindset.
