Alright so when I was in high school I took an advanced science class where we built ROVs and at the same time my English teacher decided to spend an entire semester on the Titanic. So I weirdly have a decent amount of knowledge on the subject of the Titan. The strangest coincidence is that the Titan and the Titanic failed for the same reason. There are boats that hit icebergs with no problem. The reason that the Titanic fell apart is because weak rivets were used and broke apart when it hit the iceberg. I believe the Titan broke for the same reason. Flimsy material choices to cut costs.

#they also kept referring to the Titanic as the ship that couldn’t sink which tricked people into thinking it was extra safe #when in reality it was overcompensating for the lack of safety #also my little dinky ROV was controlled in the same way the Titan submersible was with a controller lol #but I didn’t use a game controller #and it was tethered #but fr idk why they didn’t immediately send an ROV down there like they’ve been to that depth before #the titan #the titanic #oceangate #titanic
