Lack of Nondestructive Testing Alleged in Titan Implosion
Court documents filed in 2018 allege OceanGate allowed the Titan to perform dives without “nondestructive testing to prove its integrity.”
The filing further described that the Titan’s hull is made of carbon fiber, not metal, and was built to withstand certified pressure of 1,300 meters, but OceanGate planned to take passengers to 4,000 meters.
