Titan Sub Shocking First Debris Video Oceangate At Port

Jeff Ostroff shows you the first video of the wreckage of the OceanGate Titan Sub that imploded at the wreck site of the Titanic. Here a boat has brought the Titan Sub 1st debris wreckage to shore and is unloading it for investigation.

I think the carbon shattered to a million pieces and the viewport blew out from the inside pressure.

All they needed was a couple of cans of Flex Seal.

Let's stop pretending, of course, the titanium is fine. We all know it was the carbon fiber or that viewport that was only meant to go down like a third of that depth. And we also know this was caused by ignorance and greed.

The glass viewport is gone, you can see the red rope (or whatever that is) go through it, unless they removed it to lift the entire piece.

in my opinion - the view port started to crackle and make noises - as stated in earlier evidence from the company themselves - they stated that the material its made of starts to make noises before any type of failure. And if the Sub imploded instantly - they would never have dropped the ballast so early as if they had been suffering an issue - it would have just been instant.
So my thought is that the view port was failing - they abandoned the dive but it was to late - that fails which then instantly destroys the carbon body into dust as part of the implosion.
But its just a guess due to the rest of it looking solid and not twisted metal mess

amazing how quickly it was brought up from the seafloor and brought to shore

[onestepbeyond]

What a Mickey mouse operation he was running.

[cdbennett]

Isn't the strap going through the hole where the port window is supposed to be?

[amandaslade]

Doesn't look like it imploded does it?

[noway]

Thats ring where GLUED with epoxic to the carbon fiber tube, thats cazy

[BamaCyn]

I'm wondering if the titanium aft/window piece that is covered is what holds the possible remains

[DA-spqy]

Can anyone tell me how many dives the sub completed?
I heard it was operational for 5 years, for a un certified pod that's a hell of a record.

There might be something more to learn from this rather than just the tragedy.

[jaydewitte]

The "glass" is gone. Obviously the strap is going through it. I wonder if it was removed after the salvage or it indeed was the cause😢😢

[bettyjane]

I’m not sure how you didn’t see that the interface cap is no longer circular but is more oval.

[oddiesmith]

Why are there no bolt holes for the acrylic window on the nose cone ? There should be bolt holes for the flange to bolt onto that holds the acrylic window into place. Are these really wreckage parts ?

[penelope]

How did the ROV lift the pieces off the ocean floor?

[mrhead]

Great narration .... Yea there's a part here and this looks like some sort of piece

[robert-wrxt]

It was the large acrylic window that failed first?
Or did the implosion rebound pop it OUT?

[corneliuscrewe]

Some engineer on another channel pointed out the titanium end caps looked entirely too clean, as if the glue (Yeah, glue) they used to attach them to the carbon fiber hull did not adhere. He noted the titanium surfaces should have been roughed up, too. Not that carbon fiber was ever appropriate for this.

Does anyone know if the submarine was equipped with a "black box" for documentation, like in airplanes?
