Don't be afraid to ask about the history of the submarine you are boarding

The Atlantis Adventures submarines she worked on, which can carry up to 48 passengers, only descended to around 110 feet, she said. Meanwhile, OceanGate said the Titan could travel to 13,123 feet below the ocean's surface.

Margarethe, 31, told Insider she's also a marine scientist who is keen to return to working on a submarine for research purposes in the future — she regularly shares insights about the submersible industry, the ocean, and marine life on her TikTok page, which has over 368,000 followers.

The passengers had paid upwards of $250,000 for their places

3 things people interested in submarine tours should be wary of before booking one

“You are remembered for the rules you break, and I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium — there’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”

The best way of outwitting the many dangers, the experts agreed, would have been to subject Titan to rigorous testing under the anticipated conditions and stresses. Fatigue of various materials also would have had to be considered and continually monitored. Manufacturing defects or any damage could build up over time as the Titan endured the cycles of stress associated with repeatedly going down miles to the bottom of the Atlantic and back.

Kedar Kirane, a mechanical engineer with expertise in damage, fracture and fatigue in fiber-reinforced composites. Mr. Foecke also said that the acrylic of the viewport might have failed where it met the titanium or that uneven tightening of the hatch bolts might have caused uneven stresses along the porthole, causing a fracture.

Alfred S. McLaren, a retired Navy submariner and president emeritus of the Explorers Club of New York City, “have different coefficients of expansion and compression, and that works against keeping a watertight bond.”

Under deep-sea pressures, carbon fiber would compress in diameter more quickly than the titanium, placing stress on the glue joint. (Animation is an illustration of how the deformation could work.)

OceanGate is unable to provide any additional information at this time.”

arbon fiber, though, is much more effective in resisting pulling forces than crushing forces, such as compression. It resists pulling for a while before breaking, but collapses or buckles if pushed on or compressed.
