    “visible flaws” in the carbon fiber supplied to OceanGate raised the risk of small flaws expanding into larger tears during “pressure cycling.”

    recommendation was that non-destructive testing of the Titan’s hull was necessary

    OceanGate would instead rely on its much touted acoustic monitoring system.

    might only provide “milliseconds” of warning before a catastrophic implosion.

    So not only is it almost certain the hull ruptured,
    it was completely preventable, if the company had given a shit.

    May the people that got suckered into boarding this deathtrap rest at peace.
