This is why submarines are built out of steel.
This “engineer” failed at math class.

I hear more and more about this every day, about some design flaw. Didn't they think it through? I may be dumb but even I would nope out if the sub was unable to complete any of its test runs successfully.
I know this entire sub was a shitshow, but... It had an interior wall. Stuff was mounted to that, not directly into the outer hull.
Yes, exactly. The interior was insulated and whatnot. It had structural issues but this wasnt one of them
Do you have a source for that? I was trying to figure out if that was the case but couldn't get evidence
Googling for "titan sub construction" and you can see pictures of it under construction, where the interior is clearly significantly smaller than the exterior, and there's visible open space past an inner shell.
If the guy weren't dead he'd be sued to death.
Wow
Hah! Talk about getting what you pay for. This is why you don't cut corners on parts that can kill you if they malfunction.
What do we call this scandal? It happened in the Atlantic ocean, and scandals are usually named -gate...
How about AtlanticGate?
It would have been a brilliant business move if it had worked. Shysters and cheats have been mixing in expired or substandard additives to food and drug products for all of history. As long as nobody dies, and you don't get caught, it's just free money in your pocket. I believe it was Heintz, around the turn of the 20th century, who lobbied strongly in favor of the Pure Food and Drugs Act in the US because he felt it would give him a competitive advantage over others by requiring the additives in food be safe. Crazy concept, right?
