"The report concluded that the faulty engineering of the Titan submersible "resulted in the construction of a carbon fiber composite pressure vessel that contained multiple anomalies and failed to meet necessary strength and durability requirements." It added that because OceanGate did not adequately test the Titan, "the company was unaware of the pressure vessel's actual strength and durability, which was likely much lower than their target.""
""Additionally, OceanGate's analysis of Titan pressure vessel real-time monitoring data was flawed, so the company was unaware that the Titan was damaged and needed to be immediately removed from service" after a previous dive, it added. The report also said the debris of the Titan would have likely been found sooner had OceanGate followed standard guidance for emergency response, and that would have saved "time and resources even though a rescue was not possible in this case.""
The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that faulty engineering produced a carbon-fiber composite pressure vessel with multiple anomalies that failed to meet required strength and durability standards. OceanGate did not adequately test the Titan, leaving the company unaware that the pressure vessel's actual strength and durability were likely much lower than intended. OceanGate's real-time monitoring analysis was flawed, preventing recognition that the Titan was damaged and needed removal from service after a previous dive. The debris search could have been faster had standard emergency-response guidance been followed, saving time and resources. The Titan imploded about 1 hour 45 minutes into a 2023 Titanic expedition, killing all five people aboard.
