  • In June of 2023, a submersible with 5 people onboard would suddenly vanish without a trace while on a voyage to the wreckage of the RMS Titanic. This is the story of that fateful journey.

    What I just learned like yesterday was that Stockton Rush told one of his passengers from awhile back (AFTER they took the trip to the Titanic) that he got the carbon fiber "at a good discount" from an airline industry source because the carbon fiber was "older" & what was sold to Stockton Rush was not considered to be viable for use any more in the airline industry. He then reassured that passenger that it was 'completely safe.' This is the type of guy Stockton Rush, CEO of Ocean Gate was. Had an ego the size of Texas & was basically a very unconscionable person. I hope the families of the victims get a buttload of $$ from that company, but I seriously doubt they will. Stockton Rush, when you boil it all down, was nothing more than a modern-day snake oil salesman.

      I also read elsewhere that the carbon fiber layer was recommended at 7 inches thick minimum by his engineers, and that he skimped out using only about 5 inches. If he used expired carbon fiber rolls then he was really pushing his luck and it was only a matter of time before a catastrophic failure of the pressure vessel occurred.

      I honestly doubt anyone on board had time to even contemplate their exit from existence, let alone feel any pain. There very well may have not even been any warning signs prior to implosion, a pinhole intrusion at those depths would have caused such a pressure gradient change at such a speed that anyone or anything inside would have been molecularly disassembled so fast as to be seamless. That is why carbon fiber is not used by James Cameron, too brittle....

    The "noise" heard by the Navy was reported to the on-scene command right away. Per the Coast Guard presser at the end, the families were notified of this information quickly after it was learned. The people who needed to know were notified. In any search and rescue mission, until you can confirm information or find the item you are looking for, you keep looking. It took a number of days to get the proper equipment out to this site, organize it, and deploy it - another danger in doing this is such an unforgiveable location. Once the proper equipment was deployed it located the sub in short order. Search and recovery ends.

      You are correct sir.

They had a time frame they could go back and find any anomalies that might sound out of place, like a little pop from the general area. Even knowing the time frame, they had to go through a lot of data to pull it out from all the sound those mics pick up. It takes time and that's what happened. They weren't even 100% it was an implosion at first, just a noise they said was consistent with an implosion.

      @@vissitorsteveThe repeated trips are one of the main safety concerns. Every trip down and up subjects the submersible to incredible pressure and then a release of that pressure. That causes a strain on the material that the submersible is is made of. Steel and titanium are well studied in how they react to this strain/cycle of pressure and release. Carbon Fiber reacts very differently. Unlike steel ant titanium which are uniform, all the same material, carbon fiber is a matrix of the fibers and the adhesive that the fibers are imbedded in. It’s great as long as there are no voids, cracks or dings. The repeated use of the submersible means that cracks or voids could develop over time just from the application of pressure and its release. That is to say nothing of any bumps or dings that could also cause cracks or imperfections which at the depths that the Titanic rests at could cause catastrophic failure and an implosion. That’s why people are discussing the thickness of the carbon fiber and the quality of the material. That is the safety margin that most are concluding was lacking.

    what baffles me the most is that this "homemade sub" (calling it homemade considering its build quality) has been able to go down quite a few times before this tragedy happened. One of the previous passengers said that he could feel the sub going deeper and deeper because he would hear cracking sounds from the carbon hull.

    As a scientist, I really question the way this planned. I’ve worked on experiments with health consequences for mistakes; safety comes first. I believe there is a need for private biotechnology companies. Grant funding is scarce so offering commercial services to finance research. But submarine travel is something that should not be readily accessible.

    To clarify: It wasn't certified to reach those depths. It reached them just because that's what they wanted to do. The glass in the sub was only rated for 1,300m so that's technically the deepest the sub should've been going (on a bad day). You generally don't go to the limit of your sub's abilities but under them. This sub should've only been going to 1,200m NOT 3,800m.

Of course not !! Why? They tried to fit 5 square pegs ( people ) into a rectangular hole !!! ALL successful DEEPWATER submersible feature a thick TITANIUM SPHERE capable to accommodate two or three scientists MAX. 12k feet below sea level is no place for “tourism “ and profit margins !!!!!! The Marianas Trench east of the Philippines is over 30k feet deep and was reached in the early 1960s by the Trieste bathyscaphe almost all ballast above and the ONE essentially component for withstanding crushing pressures - that’s right , a TITANIUM SPHERICAL diving bell that I believe only had room for two scientists.

    This is indeed tragic, but makes sense legally.
    Example: when an experimental aircraft YOU built or bought homemade parts for crashes, failure is all your liability still (or the backyard manufacturer). Regulators have a hard enough time inspecting normal crafts on a mass scale to keep a standard of safety.
    There are laws, regulations, and procedures already in place for research/industrial uses of may water/land/air crafts. Why should regulators care about the crazy expiremental ones if they willing line up to be in danger?

    No follow up to this since the communication logs with the support ship came out? The were dropping like a stone, MUCH faster than the maximum safe rate of descent. The a-hole in charge said nothing as they reached 3400m depth a full hour ahead of schedule. He didn't try to blow ballast and emergency ascent until they were only a few hundred meters from the bottom. Everyone knew by that point. They tried ascending but couldn't get past 3500m, then they reported crackling sounds as the hull started giving, then.... well you know. If he had tried to emergency surface as soon as he noticed he was not in a controlled descent, they were only a few hundred meters down at that point and they SURELY could have survived.

    The wreckage may be located in international waters. But the company is registered somewhere (physical address, tax district, etc). And unless its submersibles were entirely built, docked, launched from, and operated exclusively in international waters, all of which seem very implausible, they would have had to be registered somewhere. That means they would have also been inspected by someone at some point, even if they were just passing through another country's waters to get there, right? So why weren't they? Who, if anyone, dropped that ball? How did they COMPLETELY circumnavigate maritime law just by DIVING in international waters?
