The Design That May Have Doomed the Titan Sub

Engineers interviewed by The New York Times pointed out several weak points in Titan that were cost-saving departures from proven submersible designs.

@ChrisWellens the dangers were known and ignored.
@eliotlear Do you think the dangers of Titan were known and ignored by the passengers? I know I personally would have asked a lot of questions before I embarked on such a journey (assuming I had an extra $250K to burn through). But then, I am a scuba diver, and have a lot of training about pressure at depth. Also, no one has mentioned the Thresher submarine accident, which is curious...
@ChrisWellens no I doubt the passengers fully understood how this guy ignored his engineers.
