The Titan a submersible purpose built for diving the 12,500 feet to the Titanic wreck suffered a catastrophic implosion on Sunday Jun 8, 2023 at around 9:30am. This is a story of hubris when unforgiving nature of deep submergence required following the best engineering science. Correction: The carbon finers were laid in 2 directions. Here is a more recent video with a very short clip of the the Titan hull winding showing multidirectional fiber. In this footage it is only in 2 directions but typically it better to be applied in more orientations to maximize the number of contact points, especially when this composite was being put under these most severe loads. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of: Paul-Henri Nargeolet Hamish Harding Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Stockton Rush, Ocean Gate CEO and pilot Thanks to Marco A. for the Titanic model I used as my starter model.
