i kept posting on Titan threads that I'm curious to hear what James Cameron has to say, who has successfully made 33 trips himself.
So here it is. It's no surprise holloywood speaks to NPR...it is what it is. But you have his words, which I wanted to hear along with everything else, like hiding their demise for several days.
The "same damn reason" is hubris and arrogance (I don't know why you left that out), as he explicitly stated.
"I'm struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet, he steamed up full speed into an ice field on a moonless night, and many people died as a result," Cameron said. "And for a very similar tragedy, where warnings went unheeded (...)"
"Pressure hulls should be made out of contiguous material like steel, titanium, ceramic or acrylic, he explained, in order to do modeling and finite element analysis to "understand the number of cycles that it can take." That's not the case with a composite material, like carbon fiber, made of two different materials blended together.
"And so we all knew that the danger was delamination and progressive failure over time with microscopic water ingress and ... what they call cycling fatigue," he added. "And we knew if the sub passed its pressure test it wasn't gonna fail on its first dive ... but it's going to fail over time, which is insidious. You don't get that with steel or titanium."

on npr at that, go figure...

CORRECT
"Now there's one wreck lying next to the other wreck," he said, "for the same damn reason."
Makes it seem ritualistic.
Probably not the same though

The shape was weak. High pressure hulls are spherical or cylindrical with spherical ends like a propane tank. Any other shape is weak.
A first year engineering student knows this.
They did not do fatigue testing with their novel material for this extreme application.
Just like they didn’t test the clot shot for short or long term, for the “novel virus”.
Their playbook is old, tired, and EVIL.
However, look the other way...
That is the same carbon crap they are making washing machines out of! To hold water...instead of real metal. China junk.
Now...that is a washing machine. I can't imagine going down there in one of those! Don't care how thick.
Fuck Cameron. He's just another attention whore.
