The collapse of Titan Sub near Titanic due to “defective” and body safety operations
It was found that James Cameron was right.
The American Coast Guard released the results of its multi -year investigation into the collapse of the Titan Oatter in 2023 and found that the disaster, which killed all the five occupants of the car, was “a preventive tragedy”.
the 335 pages report From the Marine Investigation Council in the Coast Guard, it was found that “the failure of Oceangate to follow the engineering protocols in force for safety and testing and maintenance of the purpose, was the main causal factor.” Regarding the prevention of moving forward, the committee called for “improved organizational supervision, especially for the designs and operations of new ships.”
Cameron has made many films related to Titanic and has been brought to the debris more than 30 times. He also designed and built his submersible, which he tried singled out 35,787 below sea level in the depths of the Mariana trench in the Pacific Ocean. This is much lower than the depth in which Titanic sits.
In 2023, and Titanic The director criticized decision -making about Oshngit about the body of the submersible. Cameron said that if he was designing a car to transport passengers, he will put it through the certificate protocols and test them with one of the big names in this work, such as the American Shipping Office. This was not the case for Tian.
“I think it is unreasonable that this group did not go through this strict process,” CNN told CNN at the time.
When asked about the carbon compound used in the experimental design of Tyan, Cameron said: “It is not perfectly suitable for a ship that sees external pressure.” He went on to say that carbon fibers are very useful when using them for internal pressure applications, such as diving tanks. But he said: “For something that sees external pressure, all the advantages of compound materials disappear and play all defects.”
In fact, the Coast Guard report is “the” carbon -fiber safety loss or glue joint “as a major factor.
The explosion killed all the five people on board the plane: CEO Oshngit Stockon Rush; Titanic Paul Henry Nargolete expert; Pakistani wealthy Shahzada, Suleiman Dawood and British explorer Hamish Harding.
Josh Gates, the discovery host Campaign: unknownIn 2023 it was revealed that it was a pigeon at the same sub -branch near Titanic wreckage. Gates said that the possibility of getting clips from the sunken ship was a “huge chance”, but he decided against a second trip because the ship, which Titan called “did not perform well on diving.”
Gates later was a major voice in Discovery, a two -hour documentary entitled ” The explosion: Titan’s sub -catastrophe. See below to get a clip from Collapse In any Gates details his fears.
