DUMB ****ING ASSES! At least they imploded and felt no pain. The risk is NOT worth the reward. This site is a graveyard leave it alone already.

I wonder if the life insurance company’s that had any of them had a clause written in it about if a person taking extreme risks that caused death their policy would be rejected.

It may not be the seal that failed. It may be a metallurgical flaw in the hull. That was able to hold up for so many cycles but finally failed.
Maybe the criticisms that Cameron was talking about was about lack of metallurgical testing. I would suppose you need flawless metal especially if shape is not spherical.

Good point. No one considered supernatural forces as the culprit.

If the technology isn’t good enough for your man cave, you should think twice before taking it to the bottom of the ocean.

I'm guessing either the hull or window failed and caused the breach. |

I've been wondering why more people aren't talking about this. I understand saving the weight, but I don't see how proper inspection after repeated use is possible. Maybe there's some tech I don't know of and it allows carbon fiber to be inspected for internal flaws.
Does anyone know if the other deep dive operations are using carbon fiber? |

Oh, carbon fiber and not metal.
I think a similar flaw would be the cause. I suppose you would need to have the molecules connected the way it is supposed to and if flaws in the molecular connections or any voids in molecular structure would be the problem. I would guess a non-spherical shape would cause some variation in the stress felt at different sections of hull and you would have to limit number of cycles for each hull.

This was posted before but here is the carbon fiber winding of hull for Oceangate Cyclops 2.
GM Harris the man with the most dives to Titanic says he wouldn't use a carbon fiber submersible. He said that no testing on its use in submersibles has been done. Further said the aerospace industry did a little testing but found it gets brittle when stressed over time and fails catastrophically.

What they were paying to do was to play a form of Russian Roulette such that if they lose(and they did lose) they get their names in newspapers. I feel bad for the 19 year old kid, because he is just kid and probably just went along for the ride. Too dumb and too trusting to know. For the others....well they played a stupid game and won stupid prizes. |

That's why you never shake the can.
