Wreckage shows how Titan's hull came apart
Experts told the US Coast Guard on Wednesday there were safety problems with Titan's hull.
This is why I don't trust carbon fiber in bike frames, or anything else.

Well, a carbon fiber bike isnt subjected to thousands of lbs of pressure per sq inch like a submarine, so, kind of apples to steak

True, but when it fails it fails spectacularly just the same.
The owner was a pompous arrogant guy who risked the lives of others to prove what others had told him was a terrible idea.

Just because the person took it beyond design limits, dont blame the equipment.
Everything fails at some point
EVERYTHING !!
so guys, that mini sub isn't the only one to have sunk recently - here is a bigger one, though unsure of the CCP use of carbon fiber

Odd Activity At Chinese Submarine Shipyard Draws Interest
The sudden appearance of four crane barges where a submarine had been parked has prompted questions about the potential for an accident.

Not only was the carbon fiber used in an environment it probably should not have been, in a shape which is unconventional tocsay the least, tube instead of the traditional sphere used in the passenger compartment of submersibles, the material was apparently also expired carbon fiber which was no longer able to be used on planes. Expiration means what to stability, who knows. But one might think if one is a rebel and going to use a material in a way it has never been used, in a design shape never used in submersibles, one would at the very least want top shelf material...
Just me.
Just me.

Carbon fiber is laid to stress on certain directions and is ridicuously strong, until you stress it against the grain. This is why when an F1 car meets a wall or other car a virtual storm of splitters is generated. When you build a cylinder that is subject to pressure from all directions the result is inevitable. This is why submersibles are typically cylindrical and made of steel. Ocean gate got plenty of feedback on the risks associated with their design.Wreckage shows how Titan's hull came apart

BTW, if the F-35 and other modern fighter jets can be skinned with composites a carbon fiber bike can certainly widthstand whatever it is put through.

I have been listening to the Coast Guard inquiry and this actually shocked me. According to one of his best friends Stockton Rush knew what was going to eventually happen and did not care as it would make him famous. If this is true he was a sick sick dangerous man.

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush ‘knew’ his doomed Titan submersible would eventually kill him, close friend testifies
Stockton Rush’s longtime friend Karl Stanley told the US Coast Guard the CEO knew he’d never face the consequences of his actions if he died in the Titan submersible.

Must have been Kung Pao Shrimp. SPICEY HOT diner that night for the crew and the toilets got overused. You have to make sure the lid is closed when flushing on a submarine.
