The Titan submersible has been found about 1600 meters from the bow of the Titanic. It appears to have had a catastrophic implosion that ripped apart the pressure hull. RIP to the four who paid for this trip and the pilot. I have no sympathy for the fifth passenger as he was the CEO of the company and, based on reports, was warned multiple times by different people that this submersible wasn't safe.

The news story said lost at sea in the headline. But, at 159 atmospheres, they're dead.

6000 psi down there. They wouldn't have had time to notice there was a problem - death would have been instantaneous. One moment 5 humans, the next a lamination on the carbon fibre.
RIP, and my thoughts are with the families (who definitely can afford to sue) ... ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Totally agree. Check my posts a few threads down and you'll see I said the same exact thing. I'm coming from a family of scuba divers, so you learn quickly the pressure would've killed them a lot sooner than running out of air.

Apparently there are two separate companies. OceanGate owns the submersibles, and OceanGate expeditions charters them and uses them for their expeditions. Leaving aside the waivers the passengers signed, it is likely that there are no assets for the families to collect from.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

It was not the inaugural trip. That vessel had made dozens of trips before.

Some experts believe that multiple trips is the reason. So many cycles of load, that it was a fatigue failure, is what they feel. The carbon fibre structure may not have been designed/tested for this much fatigue load.

Yep. If the chance of a failure was 5%; they had already done some 20 dives. One more made 5%.
And, they used carbon fibre; which has a history. The "old" guys say to use steel or titanium. The CEO only wanted to "listen" to 20-some year olds (the same way companies are always looking for "intermediate" programmers).

And because they claim that they can do it in 5 days rather than 5 months.

He was. Presumably he wanted to save a little more money. At least the fool was hoist on his own petard.
