Some real gems here and learned some things I wasn't aware of. > "Now, if it fails, then you have to stop, and it's -- again, this is not something that just happens all of a sudden. It doesn't just implode. It screams like a mother before it implodes." > On dive 80 during surfacing people heard a "loud bang" from the submersible (according to a witness it sounded like a gunfire) Well, there you go. > But instead they left Titan <during the> winter on the parking lot in Saint Johns where it was not protected from any exposure because that was cheaper. > During hauling it become loose and started knocking against the hauling platform (LARS) because of the waves. Day later they did a dive where it imploded. Early on, it was made clear that carbon fiber hulls could not easily be inspected for integrity issues like metal hulls can be. I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing sensitive instruments have been around for a while for the purpose of inspection. Having a hull you cannot easily inspect would/should make most people/companies nervous.
