Oceangate Titan - analysis of an insultingly predictable failure
A preview of a world where 'regulation does not stifle innovation'. I wanted to clear up some points that have been widely misreported whilst discussing how mechanical failures of subsea vessels have been avoided for decades until now. This video could have been hours long if I spoke about everything in length, so consider it a brief summary. <br> <br>I speak in present tense during the video, but it was made public that the crew are deceased as the video was rendering. Despite the remarkable predictability of this failure, the families of the victims have my sympathy. <br> <br>Sources used: <br> <br>2022 documentary showing previous dive <br>https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001d2ml <br> <br>Dave Lochridge court case against Oceangate <br>https://media.wbur.org/wp/2023..../06/answer-to-compla <br> <br>Oceangate's youtube channel (I doubt this will exist for much longer): <br>https://www.youtube.com/@UCV90kzX_bwwndciTCbSsm9A <br> <br>James Cameron's choice words about the incident: <br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rThZLhNF_xg <br> <br>Alvin DSV abridged operating procedures.

not to mention with metal that you need to use sound devices as well as x-ray type equipment to test it for any cracks or weaknesses or stress points...
carbon fiber can be used, but it HAS TO BE USED WITH OTHER MORE RIGID MATERIALS, the same as any container that is meant to be pressurized with oxygen to be used for breathing...
using carbon fiber and aluminum you can have a container that works as good as a strait up steel or stainless steal container.

there is NO WAY a sub that small can stay down for 90 plus minutes....
it would have 30-40 min. of oxygen maybe, MAYBE!!!!

To be honest I was expecting a more 'refined looking' finished product. This is more like an unfinalized prototype.
What inspired this final design?
