[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5625175, member: 48469"] A retired US Navy submarine captain with nearly 6 years worth of time spent underwater pretty much echoed what we've been saying on yesterday's CBS Sunday Morning episode. Quick summary: Failure because of the use of 3 dissimilar materials: Carbon fiber, titanium and plexiglass for the porthole. When you have different materials with different molecular structures/different coefficients of expansion and compression, and you add repeated cycles in depth, you're going to work a seal loose. I linked the video to start at his part of the story. Goes from 7:12 to 8:22. [MEDIA=youtube]1eObme9OUr8:432[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
