Missing Titan Submersible ｜ 10 Possible Causes of the Catastrophic Implosion
In this video, we explore the 10 most likely causes of the catastrophic implosion of the Titan submersible. We discuss hull breaches, decompression accidents, battery explosions, fires, structural failures, underwater currents, extreme water pressure, sudden changes in depth, failure of the pressure control system, manufacturing defects, design flaws, and collisions with larger objects. We also discuss the ongoing investigation into the cause of the implosion and the lessons that can be learned from this tragedy.
Hull breach:
A hull breach would have allowed water to enter the submersible, which would have rapidly increased the pressure inside. The submersible 's pressure hull is designed to withstand a certain amount of pressure, but if the breach was large enough, it could have caused the hull to implode.
Decompression accident:
A decompression accident would have happened if the submersible 's pressure was rapidly reduced. This could have been caused by a failure of the submersible 's pressure control system, or by a sudden change in the submersible 's depth. When the pressure is rapidly reduced, the air inside the submersible expands, which can cause the hull to rupture.
Battery explosion:
Lithium-ion batteries are known to be susceptible to explosions, especially if they are damaged or overheated. If a battery in the Titan submersible exploded, it could have caused the pressure inside the submersible to build up and eventually implode the hull.
Fire:
A fire could have started in the submersible 's electrical system or fuel tank, causing the pressure to build up and eventually implode the hull. Fires in submersibles are especially dangerous because they can be difficult to extinguish underwater.If a fire did start in the submersible , it is likely that it would have caused the pressure to build up inside the hull. This is because the fire would have consumed the oxygen inside the submersible , and the carbon dioxide would have built up. The pressure would have eventually become too great, and the hull would have imploded.
Structural failure:
The Titan submersible was a new design, and it's possible that there was a flaw in the submersible 's structure that caused it to implode. This could have been a manufacturing defect, or it could have been caused by a design flaw. If there was a structural failure in the Titan submersible, it is likely that it was caused by a combination of factors. These factors could have included a manufacturing defect, a design flaw, inexperienced engineers, poor quality materials, or a lack of testing.
Underwater Currents:
Underwater currents can be very strong, and they can cause significant damage to underwater objects. If the Titan submersible was caught in a strong underwater current, it could have been damaged or even crushed. This could have led to an implosion if the hull was damaged enough.Underwater currents can vary greatly in strength. Some currents are weak and barely noticeable, while others can be very strong and can move objects with great force. Some currents flow in a single direction, while others can flow in multiple directions.Underwater currents can also vary in depth. Some currents are concentrated near the surface, while others extend to great depths.If the hull of the submersible was damaged enough, it could have led to an implosion. This is because the pressure inside the submersible would have been greater than the pressure outside the submersible , causing the hull to collapse.
Extreme Water Pressure and Sudden change in the submersible's depth:
The water pressure at great depths can be immense. At the depth where the Titan submersible was operating, the water pressure was about 6,000 pounds per square inch. This is equivalent to the weight of about 60 elephants pressing down on every square inch of the submersible 's hull. If the hull of the submersible was not strong enough to withstand this pressure, it could have imploded. Sudden change in the submersible 's depth caused the pressure inside the submersible to increase rapidly, eventually leading to an implosion. The pressure inside the submersible increases as it descends, and if the submersible ascends too quickly, the pressure could rapidly decrease, causing the hull to implode.
Failure of the submersible 's pressure control system:
This could have caused the pressure inside the submersible to increase to a dangerous level, eventually leading to an implosion. The pressure control system is responsible for regulating the pressure inside the submersible , and if it fails, the pressure could rapidly increase, causing the hull to implode.
Manufacturing defect and Design flaw in the submersible's pressure hull:
This could have caused the hull to be weaker than it should have been, making it more likely to implode. The pressure hull is the outermost layer of the submersible, and it's responsible for keeping the pressure inside the submersible at a safe level. If the hull has a manufacturing defect, it could be weaker than it should be, making it more likely to implode. Design flaw in the submersible 's pressure hull caused the hull to be more susceptible to implosion than it should have been. The design of the pressure hull is critical to the safety of the submersible , and if there is a design flaw, it could make the hull more likely to implode.
Collision with a Larger Submarine or Underwater Object:
The Titan submersible was a relatively small vehicle, and it's possible that it could have been crushed by a larger submarine or by an underwater object. If the submersible was hit by a large object, it could have caused the hull to rupture, leading to an implosion.
Conclusion: The implosion of the Titan submersible was a tragic event, and it is important to understand what caused it so that similar accidents can be prevented in the future. The 13 causes discussed in this video are some of the most likely possibilities, but the exact cause may never be known for sure. However, by understanding these causes, we can take steps to make submersibles safer in the future. The investigation into the Titan submersible's implosion is ongoing, and we can only speculate on the cause until the investigation is complete.
