No user record in our sample, but marksmithhfx has activity below (stories or comments). Likely we have partial data — the full bulk-load will fill profiles in.

Like ribs in an airplane wing, which provides the bulk of compression strength and transfers loads to spars.
This makes me think, why didn’t they build in composite reinforced bulkheads every 12 inches or so. That definitely would have had substantial impact on compressing the cf hull and preventing delamination. So obvious.
There was a distress beacon… it’s called a transponder. It is in a separate pressure chamber controlled by a separate battery. It is a completely separate and isolated system. It failed at the same time as regular comms…
Poor design choice. Too many materials expanding and contracting at different rates leads to friction stress and ultimate material failure. Maybe not at first, but over repeated compression and expansion cycles.
Carbon fibre is horrible in compression as just demonstrated, unequivocally by the submersible Titan from OceanGate.
