Just searching for this comment. I was born and raised on Aquidneck Island (Newport RI)👍👍. Lived here most of my 51 years. And have always been around the ocean. Back in the day we would use a CB type marine band radio, and once they were available. Everyone bought EPIRB's, and never go out without them. Sure we used to get drunk, and be stupid about many things. Been towed home many times too. But we always started the day sober with safety in mind. And were at least as prepared as we could be. And this is just within the Narragansett Bay. If we were to hit the open ocean, and say go to Block Island. We would go to more extreme measures, and prepare days ahead for the trip. The thought of doing something like this is simply unimaginable to me. From my own life experiences, and what my father taught me. There's no way I would have ever gotten near that thing. It doesn't take a genius to see what would happen in case of emergency. And the fact that they may have imploded on the bottom changes nothing. There is zero reason to not put safety at the top of the list. You only get one life. ✌️

As an engineer I have some serious red flags about the construction of the vessel. Never mind the dodgy electronics, the hull itself is a big issue. The carbon weave machine looks like a scale up from the ones that make carbon fiber air tanks like SCBA tanks. The pressures are different. Also. The titanium ends are glued onto the carbon fiber tube. Materials expand and contract differently. Even a 2mm gap can compromise the bond on the end pieces. With having the tube carbon fiber and the end caps titanium (glued on) is a serious design flaw. My guess is that the sub came apart. There are several emergency locater beacons on the sub. Vlf and maybe it was using ultra low frequency travel hundreds of miles in the ocean. They wouldn’t have put all the communications on one circuit. And to have a total power loss could only mean one thing. Massive flooding.

The tourist submersible that went missing while exploring the Titanic wreck was previously the target of safety complaints from an employee of OceanGate, the parent company that owns the sub and runs tourist expeditions of the wreck. That employee complained specifically that the sub was not capable of descending to such extreme depths before he was fired. According to the court documents, in a 2018 case, OceanGate employee David Lochridge, a submersible pilot, voiced concerns about the safety of the sub. According to a press release, Lochridge was director of marine operations at the time, “responsible for the safety of all crew and clients.” The concerns Lochridge voiced came to light as part of a breach of contract case related to Lochridge refusing to greenlight manned tests of the early models of the submersible over safety concerns. Lochridge was fired, and then OceanGate sued him for disclosing confidential information about the Titan submersible. In response, Lochridge filed a compulsory counterclaim where he alleged wrongful termination over being a whistleblower about the quality and safety of the submersible. Lochridge, in his counterclaim, alleged that “rather than addressing Lochridge’s concerns, OceanGate instead summarily terminated Lochridge’s employment in efforts to silence Lochridge and to avoid addressing the safety and quality control issues.”

Engineers think that the carbon fiber hull experienced micro fractures with each dive it made, until it made one dive too many.. We will never know.
