Dear friends,
On June 18, 2023, the submersible Titan imploded during a direct exploration of the wreck of the Titanic, causing the loss of all five people on board.
In this video, I would like to explore with you what factors may have led to such a catastrophic implosion. We will try to understand the constructive criticalities of the much discussed TITAN.

[09:01:46 PP] You are at the hour mark.
[09:02:13 TITAN] Navigation is going smoothly.
[ 09:15:21 PP] Are you at 75 minutes, depth? State? Need to adjust the speed?
[09:17:50 TITAN] Everything under control. We are at 2960m. No adjustments needed. We are enjoying the ride.
[09:19:03 PP] Got it.
[09:28:16 TITAN] We are noticing an alarm from the RTM
[09:28:35 TITAN] We reduce the descent speed, depth 3433m
[09:28:47 PP] Got it. Need to go up?
[09:30:55 TITAN] No change with thrust, rate of descent is increasing. At 35. Now I will release the ballast . Standby.
[09:30:55 PP] Yes, fine. Drop the ballast.
[09:32:12 TITAN] No improvement. I prepare to throw away the frame.
[09:33:00 PP] Affirmative. Update when you can. Status of RTM indicators ?
[09:35:48 TITAN] The chassis was released but it took multiple attempts. But now we begin to climb.
[09:36:33 PP] Multiple attempts? How is your status? RTM indicators ? Depth?
[09:37:38 PP] Please update when you can.
[09:38:09 TITAN] Cracking noises at stern.

[09:42:12 TITAN] I'm trying to run a diagnostic. Ascending now . But very slow. The noises have subsided. Global RTM warning active, all red .
[09:42:57 PP] Got it. All codes? Depth? Climb rate ?
[09:43:16 PP] Updates when you can please.
[09:42:42 TITAN] Slow climb in progress. A quarter of what was expected. It's not clear why the rate of climb is slow. No indicators. At 3476m aiming for the surface.
[09:44:03 PP] We're discussing this with the engineer, stay tuned.
[09:45:11 PP] Depth and status please. What is the wattage of the up-thrust motors?
[09:46:37 TITAN] Reading red on power bus A. Switched to B. At 3457m plus noises astern.
[09:47:19 PP] Got it, keep climbing. I'm talking to Carlos about the power bus situation right now. He stands by.
[09:48:49 PP] We are activating the recovery procedures. Carlos requests output power from bus B. Status update please. Rate of climb?
[09:50:09 PP] We are not receiving you. Update please.
[09:51:16 PP] Status and Depth Report.
[09:53:08 PP] We need you to respond with status and depth. Carlos wants a power upgrade on the thrusters.
[09:55:01 PP] We are unable to read your messages. We are moving towards recovery coordinates. Report if you read.
[09:57:22 PP] Please reply if you can.
