One in 2021 and one in 2022. On both dives there had been problems. Before dive no 1 in 2021 a piece of metal ( a stabilization rudder) on the outside of the submersible broke off and had to be welded back on while the people inside the submersible were already bolded in. On dive no. 2 in 2022 one of the 4 outside propellers malfunctioned and caused the vehicle to go in circles instead of straight forward. They fixed that from inside probably by shutting down the broken propeller. On both dives there were problems with the communication between the submersible and the mother ship.

Just because it was carbon fibre doesn’t automatically mean it was doomed to fail. they can and have been rated for those depths before.

And you can take turns. 100 people can have a go, doesn't cost anymore the thing is down there already. BUT no selfie with Titanic in the background... that's what the 250 grand was for. Not to see her. You can buy a deep sea ROV for 100 grand rated to 6000 m. Now granted the instruments or cameras might cost another 150-300 grand but the thing has no time limit. You bring up after a week or two to have a look if it's fine but no reason it can't roam around for a month. I would pay good money (if I had it) to control an ROV. Dr. Ballard once said he recoiled in horror after running into something having completely forgotten he wasn't actually down there himself. It that immersive.

@@Alex-wv6co It's the same effect that makes diesel engines work. They don't have spark plugs to ignite the fuel on every cycle. Instead they rely on the fact that as air (or any gas) is compressed, it's temperature goes up. In the case of a diesel engine, the compression (the actual PSI depends on design) drives the air fuel mixture into such a small space that the temperature is more than high enough for the mixture to ignite on its own with no outside spark needed. Another example is an old bush craft device to ignite tinder is a small wooden piston you prepare with a bit of flammable tinder, extend the plunger and then slam it down as quickly as possible. Flip the piston over and check if the tinder is smoldering. Pretty cool when I first saw that demonstrated.

Carbon fiber is only strong in tension. Solid fuel rocket motors with CF casings contain huge pressures internally which puts the CF in tension. Pressure from the outside of a CF sub hull puts the CF in compression which does not make the cylinder rigid. The sub's carbon fibers were contributing very little to the rigidity of the cylinder walls. That cracking noise was the CF separating from the resin that bonded the fibers together. How could anyone be so completely stupid as to not see the cracking noise as imminent failure of the hull and instant death.

Submarines actually change shape as it goes to different depths. The use of metal allows for such deformations. However, with carbon fibre, there is no flexiblilty. If is goes, it goes. Cracking means that the material has been compromised and is no longer fit for purpose.

(after hearing from the Navy there was a loud implosion mins after sub stopped communicating as well as tracker [separate battery powered] stop working, both, same time! and an object designed to automatically return to the surface in multiple ways -didn't. they CLEARLY dragged the story out to advertise the need for scant technology to find the wreck in days (at charity) rather than expensive months! when people with all the facts knew virtually 100% there's been a catastrophe!) and YET, we hardly hear in the news about a ship capsizing in Mediterranean with 750 people onboard, of which 100 people were kids! 78 confirmed dead, 500 still missing! surely this is bigger news? why are we hearing about 5 rich people? who does the media work for?

The seal between dissimilar materials is always a huge challenge. It seems like a reasonable conjecture that that is where the failure occurred.

Seems to me that it’s common sense, if you know basic physics or chemistry, that you should not combine a metal with a non-metal in that kind of extreme environment. You’ve got two materials behaving differently to pressure and temperature changes as he referenced. Also they probably behave differently to corrosive salt water itself. I think one or both of the titanium end caps separated first and then the carbon fiber hull imploded. Carbon fiber bicycles are not as durable and long lasting as metal bicycles is one example I can think of the inherent disadvantage of carbon fiber.

The biggest case of criminal negligence in history. Seriously the fact that this is the first catastrophic sub implosion speaks volumes. You can’t build a Hyundai and expect it to perform like a Audi……

So Stockton put sensors on the hull to alert him when the failure of the hull was critical. You couldn't make it up.

Wow, you guys cut it off at the most interesting part.

I was involved in early Carbon Fiber development for GP racing. When overstressed the delicate carbon strands break up at a molecular level. Stress is distributed throughout a structural component and there is no way to know when it is compromised. In testing the first CF wheels for racing motorcycles film of a failure was incredible; at 32 frames per second from just one to the next, less than 1/32 sec you see the intact wheel disappear from the center of the tire, only a light gray dust visible against the light shining through. The use of CF for high compression was insane. Carbon Fiber is known for complete 'Catastrophic Failure' without warning under high stress. Just light impact with rock or steel could create a miniscule weakness in the extreme surface tension of the moulding, resulting in instantaneous failure. I was sure of implosion as soon as they lost communication a bit over halfway down. Previous dives had compromised the integrity of the hull which should at least not have been reused so many times if at all. It is hard to believe it was used after the light crackling noises I know, a little like rice crispies. That was the structure disintegrating at the molecular level they should have seen at once as total design failure. It is rare to get any warning when CF structural components have lost their molecular bond. I might add titanium would retract at such cold, helping de-bond from carbon fiber resin. In cycling through these issues the structure lost cohesion and was simply crushed at little more than half the pressure it had endured in the same dives before. I notice use of CF in warplanes like the F32 as the same ignorance of its basic charachteristics. Even the smallest bullet or a rock at high speed on the wrong part can result in predictable catastrophic failure. Like old wooden PT boats carrying 1000 gallons of gasoline it shows either stupid engineers or planned risk for anyone aboard.

Cracking sounds was a big red flag! After that and all the other flaws, should have ended those expeditions/tours. He had them sign waivers, but I don't think they knew everything entailed about the intentional ignoring of the safety of the sub. Regardless of those signed waivers, those families deserve compensation for the negligence. This would NEVER be a risk I would take...not even for a million dollars! Ny condolences to the families.

The owner was right when he said he broke a lot of laws to operate the titan

God bless the passengers that passed. The hell with the ceo who thought arrogance over safety. Unbelievable

The failure mode is most likely to be at the interface between the CFRP and the titanium domes. The two materials have different differential thermal expansion coefficients and this under thermal and pressure cycling means differences in relative movement. I believe this is where the fatigue cracks occurred - i.e. at the bond between the CFRP and the titanium. Whenever you have dis-similar materials, it's usually at the interface where failure occurs. I don't believe the CFRP itself failed in the middle of the hull. It's possible, but more likely the failure occurred through fatigue cracking (which can occur below the ultimate design load carrying capacity - i.e. below the design load for the sub) at the bond interface between the titanium domes and the CFRP tubular hull. Therefore, under this scenario, one of the caps would have 'popped' off, flooding the main compartment. With the loss of a cap at either end of the hull, the CFRP will then lose structural rigidity and may then collapse depending on how it was designed. So you may find a crushed CFRP hull (i.e. fragments) or an intact hull. Not enough information to know which.
