Unraveling the Oceangate Titan Submersible Implosion: Key Testimonies
Oceangate Titan Submersible Implosion Investigation
Dr. Don Kramer, an engineer at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), is currently providing critical evidence about the tragic Oceangate Titan submersible implosion. In his testimony, he emphasizes the serious problems related to the submersible's hull—a vital area where passengers would have been situated.
Key Findings on the Hull
Consisting of layers of carbon fiber mixed with resin, the Titan's hull material has raised numerous concerns. Kramer detailed his team’s analysis of residual hull samples, highlighting alarming signs of quality issues:
- Delamination - Instances of layers separating, compromising hull strength.
- Wrinkles and Voids - Structural irregularities that could significantly impact performance.
- Gaps - Even minor gaps can lead to catastrophic failure under extreme oceanic pressure.
Such irregularities in construction have severe implications for safety in deep-sea conditions. The inquiry continues to unravel how these structural flaws may have contributed to the Oceangate Titan submersible implosion.
