"Fatal Flaws: Unveiling the Design That Sealed the Fate of the Titan Sub"
The design of the Titan submersible, which imploded during a dive to the Titanic wreckage, is being scrutinized by engineers and investigators. The unique design of the lightweight submersible, including its larger hull and use of carbon fiber instead of titanium, may have contributed to its catastrophic failure. The change in hull geometry and the use of dissimilar materials could have weakened the submersible's structure, making it more susceptible to collapse under the immense pressure of the deep ocean. The lack of certification and rigorous testing for the Titan is also being questioned as potential factors in the disaster.
