But it’s moot point, as all signs point to a sudden hull collapse. [/quote]

The submersible has a relatively novel hull of titanium and carbon fiber. Given the brittle nature of carbon fiber, I suspect the monitoring for defects isn't well understood at this time for this application. [/quote]

Carbon fiber is used by Boeing for 787 wings. It’s well enough understood if you’re Boeing. I’m not sure there is any shed made submersible I’d trust at 13k feet regardless of material [/quote]

Boeing has likely built and tested hundreds of wings and characterized the durability and failure modes. However, Boeing still has problems.
