I'm gonna guess they're not waiting three hours to say that. They're allowing lots of time to let the world's press gather. I imagine this will be the official announcement of the loss of the sub.

Also the acrylic front window is a truncated cone shape, fitted into a recess of the same shape in the titanium done.
Outside pressure will naturally just squeeze the acrylic into a really tight fit, solid principle used in many other deep sea vessels.
But the window was only rated for something like a kilometer and a half? Like less than half of the depth of the Titanic? I suppose it could have cracked and cracked again in a split second, becoming a 6000 PSI torrent of acrylic shards and seawater. But I think the carbon fiber hull just insta-failing is still more probable.
I'm putting my money on the hull failing at the joint with the window. I kind of doubt they thought about things like stress risers or different materials having different Young's moduli.

If I recall correctly, the ceo said the window would compress down to either a 3/4 of an inch or to three inches, I forget what he said on video. Either way, not great. Even the challenger, which went to 35k feet, shrunk a little due to pressure. They had to use a special kind of foam with glass beads for the hull, because steel deforms and even titanium itself does. You need to make a titanium graphite alloy to overcome that, and it seems like it was just titanium

It being a debris field and not the intact sub all but confirms implosion I feel. Either the window buckled and shot through the sub or the carbon fibre hull shattered. It's probably the two titanium ends with a bunch of shards of carbon fibre and some well fed crabs.

I'm feeling hyper fixated on this stupid torque wrench. When I use one that is similar if not the same, I never trust the drat thing. It clicks and I always feel like... really? That was x amount of foot-pounds? And have to check it 2 or 3 times. And this is on my old rear end S10. The windows don't roll up but I feel like it's more sea-worthy than the TITAN

Was it a Proto brand torque wrench? I used to dozens of those for the Air Force and I generally trusted them to be reliable. If it was an Armstrong or god forbid a Matco wrench all bets are off

Yeah, I wasn’t being entirely serious.

I wonder what happened; I guess “totally imploded near the bottom,” and “got stuck on Titanic itself and suffocated,” and “made it to surface but suffocated because no one found them” are mostly out.

It hasn't, they've needed to replace everything about it as it's been used, including rebuilding the hull within the last year or two.
