We ran into an issue with grade 8 bolts that we got from a sister plant (aluminum extrusion)that was shutdown in Michigan and it turns out that they were from China and were defective and would break under stress so the whole lot we received was thrown out. The only reason we knew where they were from was the documentation from the shuttered plant. Something like the Titan should have used a system that is used when building submarines where each bolt is tracked from manufacturer to EOL of that bolt. I don't care how strong a bolt is they stretch with use and if they are used in a blind hole you can be tightening down on the bottom of the hole and not the sealing surface. I have fixed many hydraulic leaks due to this problem.
Battery, I'd want gel/glass mat, assuming it's within the pressure vessel. I'd want nothing to do with lithium simply due to fire risk and then crappy BMS tech at "Optima" price range. Glass mat, wouldn't leak as easily and wouldn't be a direct fire source.
The view port was rated for 1300 meter deepth. They go to 4000... what could possibly go wrong. Will we ever recover the debris from the ocean floor and find the failure point?
Actually a lithium battery would be worse in terms of safety... It's really just the compisite hull itself that's the real problem, it wears down with every pressure cucle and it's only a matter of time until 🎇
All your observations are precisely correct !
Interesting video! It looks like Stockton Rush was winging it. Dangerous.
Should have been a TORQUE wrench
Bolts had nothing to do with imploding. The bolts could have been removed at that depth
💯
@@DanielJohnson-ec8rk they wont mess with evidence.... If they wanna study what happen doesnt make sense to manipulate it
@@mok822 said nothing about them messing with evidence. Just pointed out that torquing the bolts is completely unnecessary
@@DanielJohnson-ec8rk you said they could have removed the bolts, thats not likely
There is an old saying, "cheap is cheap" and I think Mr. Rush just proved it. I just feel bad for the four passengers.

Solid points, man. You made them.

Titan would have been an unsafe tiny home, much less a sub.
It went down multiple time's so it was good enough for atleast 1 trip, that being said..i dont know what the hell these guys were thinking either

Sir, with respect, you are not a nobody. You probably know alot more than me.
I cant wait for oceangates newest model?
Janky Death Trap 2
If ur catching the little corners he is cutting imagine wut other corners he has cut?
In other news it's been reported water is wet
Stockton Rush rushed.
Common sense tells me to cross the street when I see a guy like you
You are just being too pity now.
Clearly they should have been using snap on 😂 like it matters how the bolt gets tightened as long as it's torqued properly
