It was junk. Two titanium ends with a 5” thick carbon fiber middle. The ceo would not have others certify it.
Was 5” enough or did the ceo wing it? The 1/3rd scale model test failed. The person who reported it was fired.
It had to be rebuilt once. Was it brand new or a repair? The port was not rated for the depth. It was not tested without passengers in a real dive. It was Russian Roulette with most chambers loaded.

They were burned then disintegrated in less then a blink of an eye 😲
I read someone’s comment here at Free Republic who said he worked out the power of the implosion and it was about 60lbs of TNT.
I remember a story back in the 1970’s where a guy killed himself with 6 sticks of dynamite in the forest. No identifying parts remained.

Here’s What Happened to the Bodies When the Titanic Submersible Imploded

The video gets into the details, which can be macabre sometimes, but it’s also somewhat incredible how quickly this tragic incident ended. All five men died in less than a millisecond, possibly a nanosecond. To put this into perspective, the video below shows how fast that is. The time it takes for the human body to process pain is about 100 milliseconds. It takes you 13 milliseconds to process “visual imagery.” You can see where this is going: none of these guys knew what happened to them.

This implosion was something like a massive pressure cooker as well. When the craft’s structure failed due to the immense pressure of diving 12,500 feet, the air bubble inside compressed, causing a massive spike in temperature, roughly 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit: the sun’s surface. The video points out that if anything were left, the remains would be gelatinous and expelled through the many cracks and crevices of the damaged submersible.

Titan sub’s voice recordings, data to be probed as officials mull possible criminality

Titan recording: “Are you sure you tighten all the bolts?”
“The game controller batteries are dead”

“Is anyone else using the wifi, it is interfering with the game controller”
“We will straighten out the problems after we get back to the surface”

“Who is for some seafood for dinner?”
Titan recording: “Wow look at that large fish with the needle teeth. It is bigger then the sub!” CHOMP!

Titan recording: “What is that snap, crackle?”...POP!

The subs Thresher and Scorpion were destroyed at far less depth.
The implosion of Scorpion was at 1,530 feet, the engine room had telescoped 50 ft forward into the hull. The sub was 251 feet long...
Many theories as to how it sank https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Scorpion_(SSN-589)
