Indeed. Here is the definition of "Titan"

It's a classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. The co-founder of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, thought he was smart enough to design a beyond-the-state-of-the-art submersible on the cheap. When his advisors--who had more experience than he did--tried to point out the problems with his approach, he insisted he was right, they were wrong, and he fired them.
As Dirty Harry once said, "A man's got to know his limitations".
So I'm expected to believe a Billionaire, who presumably has a track record of "good" decision making, decided to get on a submersible that wasn't tested?
This narrative is insulting my intelligence. I wouldn't get on a submersible that hasn't been depth tested... It imploded from the pressure of the sea.
Explorer or not; what's the point in being INSIDE the submersible? The submersible was tiny; why go down there when you still can't see anything, and have to use the same tools as you would if you sent it unmanned?
No parts of this story actually track; and to sit there and say "Incompetence!" when you're talking about billionaire's that couldn't exist if they were incompetent -- and calling them low IQ by trying to blame the dunnin-krugger effect is preposterous.
The CEO did go down to 3000m for 10 hrs in it..so it is said. Not defending the company or build, just relaying what I read.
That pressure then depressurisation may have been enough to cause fatigue in the hull or port..on a subpar design.
The ammonium nitrate issue is unsubstantiated at this point. More will follow most likely.

see my last post Shahzada Dawood was a vice chairman of a an investment and holdings firm which dealt in the fertilizer business.
next step find out if the shipment belonged to a company he dealt with.

I'll bet it was the carbon fiber failing. A few bumps here a scrape there. Over time the water forces past the outer damaged fibers until the inner parts cannot take the pressure. It's a dealy learning curve.
Remember the de Havilland Comet airplane? The square windows developed cracks at the corners and blew out after many flights. You would think designers would have known about corners and cracks by 1949. A deadly learning curve.

Ok this is a conspiracy site, so here we go.
Slight of hand. They needed a reason to have all those vessel out around the titanic. The missing sub story allows them to be out there doing what they want without suspicion. Either they were after something on the titanic or they were finding evidence of what really happened to the titanic. Or they had some other nefarious reason to have all that activity around the titanic for reason we’ll never know.
Crisis actors, CEO of sub company paid off.
Now there’s a lot of gaps to fill in, but my tinfoil hat is on pretty tight. 😂

There were questions and concerns as to the pressure distribution concerning the shape of the submersible and the mating of the titanium ends with the carbon fiber walls of the vehicle.
Then there is the fact that the perspex or glass viewing port only being rated to 4000ft.
My bet is this simply turns out to be material failure down to substandard or incorrect construction and poor design that will have brought the implosion of the submersible.

How doea a sub implode????? Is it from the weight/pressure of the water above? If so, what could lead to an implosion? loose bolt kinda thing? or microscopic crack in the hull?? im genuinly asking!

I saw a comment about one of the persons in the sub was the owner of the company that just lost 6k tons of ammonium nitrate.
which one, names help, even better would be a link to comment.
think i figured out which one it the comment they were talking about, Shahzada Dawood
Shahzada Dawood Dawood was the vice chairman of Engro, a Pakistani energy investment company, and the Dawood Hercules Corp., an investment and holdings firm. He had expertise in mergers and acquisitions in companies across industries, such as textiles, fertilizers, foods and energy.
The 5 men who were aboard the wrecked Titan sub loved adventures — and taking risks
now off to find the name of the company that lost the fertilizer.

While all of this may be true, there is no evidence of any kind of nefarious dealings. None.
If you have evidence or documentation to the contrary, please elaborate here.

I like this approach.
It's extreme, it's far-out, it's borderline ludicrous, but... it's an idea that jolts the "areas of the brain of which we do not speak".
In essence, a diversion? Would be a lot of actors involved though. To what end or purpose?
Give some more insight if you would please?

Yep, THIS essentially.
IN-OUT pressure fatigue, especially on carbon fiber is certainly a potential cause for this situation.

damn fella don't you have any sense of irony, sarcasm, or speculation. i mean come on, your the one that posted the thread asking the question "Cabal Message or genuine accident".
my very first post on page one should have told you what i believe, the rest is just playing the game you set up. lighten up and roll with it.
