NewsNation: Titan submersible likely imploded due to shape, carbon fiber: Scientists

Most submersibles are spherical, allowing pressure to be evenly distributed around them, while the Titan was a cylindrical vessel to allow more space for passengers. While a perfectly shaped cylinder could withstand large amounts of pressure, imperfections in its shape could lead to uneven pressure distribution that could cause the walls to buckle.

The submersible was also constructed with carbon fiber and titanium, rather than just titanium or steel, which could have played a role. Carbon fiber is strong but subject to more wear and tear than titanium or steel. Any weakness in the material could have been enough to cause an implosion.


Wales Online: Will Hayward: I stayed in the cheapest hotel in Cardiff and I was so miserable

Given that I just needed somewhere to sleep it made sense to try to go for a cheap option. So I went on a few price comparison sites, shopped around a bit and discovered the cheapest option for me in Cardiff at the time was the Zip hotel on Ipswich Road, hidden behind the David Lloyd Club on a patch of land between Newport Road and the A48.

â‹®

From the outside of the hotel you can see that there are windows there. I also have mates who have stayed at the hotel before it was a Zip and they said they had windows! I think what they have done is halve the size of all the rooms meaning that the windows would actually straddle across two rooms so they have therefore decided to cover the windows and allow people to have their own misery disco instead.
