The Titanic

It seems like experts are putting the blame on it being made from carbon fiber and that you might get away with it for a few journeys, but it's really not a good idea because its a composite material and makes it a lot more vulnerable over time, as opposed something like titanium.

Makes sense I guess, especially if it imploded.
 
Wow, regarding those emails, that Stockton Rush sounded like an egomaniac. This tragedy is all on his shoulders.
 
I'm not very well versed in science and to be honest, I probably think more with the other side of my brain. For those who understand science I have a question.

Everyone, including myself, seems to be in agreement the Titan passengers would be crushed. The boat itself appears to have imploded.

Why were items from the Titanic virtually intact? China, a violin are two of the items. Wouldn't they be susceptible to the ocean pressure? The metal or cloth objects not being crushed I can fathom. :)

Why do I think I recall her urinating in a film?

You're quite right, she did. It was a strange film, with Harvey Keitel (he was very good, as always, but seemed to sort of wonder what he was doing in it).
Above all, it had nothing to do with anything. Maybe she just needed to take a slash between takes, and they left the camera rolling.

I thought I recalled it. My friend will have to watch it again.

You seem to be well versed in Kate Winslet. If you've not seen Mare of Eastown, a series she did for HBO/HBO Max, I highly recommend it. The local accent can be off-putting but it's an excellent programme!

The items on the titanic ‘slowly’ sank, therefore the water pressure was pretty much equal all around an item as it descends, only if there is trapped (hermetically sealed) gas, would you get implosions, as the water pressure finally caused the gas containing object to collapse violently.
The last part is what would have happened to the sub. Some part , probably the carbon fibre (not a good material for repetitive compression), failed causing an implosion of the cabin

I'd follow your advice, but I think HBO stuff tends to be on Netflix. I don't have it. If it's on Amazon Prime or iTunes I'm ok.
This is all getting seriously off topic. Started with a reference to Kate's tits! She comes from Reading, you know. Shares that with Ricky Gervais.
