Fatal Flaws: The OceanGate Story | Full Documentary (2024)
I think the untested materials (carbon fiber) played a huge role too. Once carbon fiber is compromised it will typically shatter, especially under those conditions. Most people utilize carbon fiber for its strength to weight ratio. I don’t know what advantage that would be underwater though.The fatal flaw was the shape, anything other than a sphere will fail, sooner than later. I still can’t believe that people went that deep in it willfully
Yea, carbon fiber was another serious flaw. Even if they didn’t use it, the shape(submersible) still would have imploded eventually. There needs to be equal pressure all around and only a sphere can accomplish that.I think the untested materials (carbon fiber) played a huge role too.

Submarines aren’t sphericle.Yea, carbon fiber was another serious flaw. Even if they didn’t use it, the shape(submersible) still would have imploded eventually. There needs to be equal pressure all around and only a sphere can accomplish that.
Submarines don’t go down thousands of feet eitherSubmarines aren’t sphericle.
Ballistic missle submarines regularly go down to 1,600 feet although their max depth is classified. Submarines do not need to be shaped like a baseballSubmarines don’t go down thousands of feet either
Their crush depth is usually around 7-8 hundred meters.
Are you just trying to argue? Why even bring up subs? We are talking about this submersible going to depths of 16K+. I assure you there isn’t a submarine out there can even go a third of that depth without imploding. I think(hope) you know this but just want start another argument, stop being so negative!Ballistic missle submarines regularly go down to 1,600 feet although their max depth is classified.

I’ve seen some crazy stuff in my time.Are you just trying to argue? Why even bring up subs? We are talking about this submersible going to depths of 16K+.
