If you see the side of the sub ..you can see.use of rivets to hold.2 mental.pieces together...

This is not the way to construct something that is subject to high pressure when it goes deep down

Pls lah SGbodoh … stop pretending you are clever … just show you how dumb you are. Suddenly you become deep sea submersible expert. For fugg sake

bery dreadful death ... in a close confined space with 5 people... die of suffocation 
They must have done many evil things .... karma

Want see Titanic de wreck ownself become wreck......the irony

They just proved with their lives that the Titanic did sink before not just a movie lah!

[red3]

The paasengers have due diligence to see evidence of the vehicle being crush proof at that level of underwater pressure? Even WW2 submarines are so rigourously tested and tested for years before sea worthy to deploy in action against this submersible of covid vaccination test period.

After just 2hours lost comn. Very bad situation.

Just hope is a flank. Surface  B 4 20 hrs oxygen run out

It's like dying in a customized wet coffin.

The whole thing could have crashed under high water pressure and defective construction!

What we know about the missing Titanic-bound submersible

With no GPS underwater, the submersible is only guided by text messages from the surface ship. On Pogue’s trip, communications broke down during a dive and the submersible was lost for over two hours, he said.

The pilot steers the sub using a video game controller – but if that fails, a hard-wired system can control the propellers, according to Aaron Newman, who took the dive on the Titan in 2021 and is now an OceanGate investor. Thrusters are powered by an external electrical system, while an internal system powers communications and a heater, he said.


Have there been safety concerns before?

The incident has prompted discussion around the safety of deep-sea tourism, with some pointing out that OceanGate has come under criticism before.

Two former OceanGate employees separately brought up similar safety concerns about the thickness of the Titan’s hull when they were employed by the company years ago.


A statement from a research lab also appears to show conflicting information about the engineering and testing that went into the development of the vessel.

OceanGate’s legal representative boasted the Titan’s “unparalleled” safety features in a 2021 court filing, saying it had been built with the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory – but the university said the lab had never dealt with the design, engineering or testing of the Titan.

Industry leaders also expressed concerns five years ago about the company’s “experimental approach” to the Titan submersible and its trip to the Titanic, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

The Manned Underwater Vehicles committee of the Marine Technology Society said it penned a letter to Rush, the missing CEO, in 2018. The group warned of potential “negative outcomes (from minor to catastrophic) that would have serious consequences for everyone in the industry,” said the letter obtained by the Times.

OceanGate has not responded to a request for comment on the letter, or on the two former employees’ claims.

From the pics of the submersible alone there are already a number of questions. History tells you that key attributes of WW2 submarines are thickness of the hull, operating depth, propeller, etc etc. Even airplanes are carefully designed and build to withstand atmospheric pressures and have propellor engines.

This company and the CEO did they go through any auditing of relevant authorities? Even boats being sold have to be certified for sea worthiness.

From the pic, is there a propellor?? And the passengers just board it after paying $250k? Would you board an airplane without propellors engines after paying the flight tickets?

From what I gather , it is not certified!

Titanic expedition company ignored calls to certify submersible amid safety fears

Washington: The tour company whose submersible craft went missing during a Titanic wreckage expedition ignored calls to get its vessel independently checked and certified, believing this would stifle innovation.

....

However, in a 2019 blog titled “Why Isn’t Titan Classed?” OceanGate argued that traditional certification, which is usually done through classification agencies such as the American Bureau of Shipping or Norwegian firm DNV-GL, could hold the company back. Instead, the company insisted its own safety testing and risk assessments were sufficient.

It is marketed as a risk adventure with passengers signing indemnity forms.

It is not a riskless  adventure.

The sub is one of its kind and only tested on the dives it has already taken.

There is no navigation and the sub has to communicate with the surface for directions...the surface use a sonar tracker to estimate the position the  seed instructions.

The communications is known to be unreliable as it is underwater.  

The final backup is if all fails the sub has 4 ways to surface ...by blowing air jnto blast, dropping weights etc.

Problem is it may be stuck in some underwater debris and cannot move.

Titanic wreckage site had a "catastrophic implosion...   Members of a massive international search effort found a debris field in the general area of the Titanic earlier in the day, and it was confirmed to contain parts of the Titan sub.

"The debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel," Rear Adm. John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, said in a news conference.


The debris was found about 1,600 feet from the Titanic's bow on the sea floor, Mauger said, adding that it was too early to tell when the Titan imploded.
