NTSB report faults vessel's manufacturing in Titan implosion

(NewsNation) — The Titan submersible did not meet manufacturing safety standards, according to a report from the National Transportation Safety Board.

The report faulted OceanGate’s “inadequate engineering process," which resulted in a disaster that killed five people on the way to the Titanic.

“(OceanGate) failed to establish the actual strength and durability of the Titan pressure vessel and resulted in the company operating a carbon fiber composite vessel that sustained delamination damage that was subsequently exacerbated by additional damage of unknown origin, resulting in a damaged internal structure that subsequently led to a local buckling failure of the pressure vessel,” the report said.

The agency recommended enhanced regulations for small vessels such as the Titan submersible
