Rush also once bragged about using expired carbon fiber, which was bought from troubled aerospace contractor Boeing. ....................
You’d think that would be sufficient to contain ~1 atmosphere of pressure, pushing outward, against a vacuum. A freaking ocean sitting on top of you, pushing inward? Not so much.
Reminds me of Green Acres' Mr. Haney.

He also bragged about hiring a diverse group of young people to work on his submersible team. Older, experienced white folks were not welcome because they were not “inspirational” enough.
DEI strikes again.
Older experienced white males warned about the safety problems and some were fired, and others said they wouldn’t set foot in the vessel again.
i’m sorry, you gotta be a real andrenaline junkie to do stupid #$@% like this. Just asking for trouble.
Does not look as if it imploded. Was supposed to crush it inwardly.
Yeah...we were told the crew was liquefied, and dead before they knew what hit them. I suppose that once pressure equalized inside/outside, the vessel would be spared additional damage. Flesh and blood, probably not so much.
I think that’s a fairing that wasn’t pressurized.
I suppose “diversity” in death is just another avenue the tyrants will seek. Since those that perished deep below the surface are now part of an extreme minority, the social engineering wackos will be sorely pressed to establish the “death equity.”
No 50 years-old white guy was responsible for this DEI millennial clusterf*** of a sub. Glad the drippy founder got his just desserts.
And we are spending millions of dollars on investigating this, why? Everyone knows why it failed.
Front titanium structure was blown off including the tail
Makes me think the failure was on one of the two ends and then it blew the center structure apart.
In about 0.1 seconds
And never go to the ocean 🌊 in anything named “Titan_____” 🤔🤔🤔

“Does not look as if it imploded. “
the part shown wasn’t the pressure vessel, but a cosmetic shell covering ...
The weakest point(s) would have imploded first immediately crushing those inside, then equalizing the pressure differential and the sub’s rear cone fell to the seafloor.
Mercifully, death would have been within a millisecond for the passengers..................
The only reason these guys are dead is because they had the money that put them there in the first place. None of the rest of us could afford to be that stupid.
