Karl Stanley to Anderson Cooper:

It's possible salt water had gotten into the #OceanGate #submersible on the immediately previous dive, remained in the #Titan's hull & then caused the implosion Sunday that destroyed it.

Rachel Lance to Anderson Cooper

Carbon fiber material used in OceanGate Titan's hull is a series of layers of carbon fiber & epoxy. This is a material that has been used & tested before & is known to weaken over time.

Based on the photos I've seen, there's no indication that Titan had the structures required to keep it together for 96hrs. I'd be glad to see any photos that show it did.
