The Titan submersible’s hull was apparently made of expired carbon fiber.
Travel Weekly EIC Arnie Weissman wrote a series of articles about a May trip he almost took aboard the OceanGate Titan (via Insider).
He says OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush told him the sub’s hull used discounted Boeing carbon fiber that was “past its shelf life for use in airplanes” and claimed Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington (UW) were involved in Titan’s design and testing.
Boeing and UW have both denied involvement, and NASA says it only served in a consulting capacity, per Insider.
