Titan Submersible’s Electrical System Implodes en Route to Titanic
The Titan submersible, on a mission to explore the Titanic, suffered a catastrophic implosion due to a electrical system designed by college interns, found.”>flawed electrical system
. Shockingly, the system was designed by college interns, as revealed in a report by the New Yorker.Design Flaws Exposed
“The whole electrical system — that was our design, we implemented it and it works,”
2017 electrical engineering graduate Mark Walsh proudly declared.
“We are on the precipice of making history and all of our systems are going down to the Titanic. It is an awesome feeling!”
Walsh, who was hired on the spot during a tour of OceanGate’s facilities, took charge of the electrical system design. Despite being an intern at the time, he played a crucial role in developing systems such as monitors, keyboards, tablets, Wi-Fi, and sonar.
However, the New Yorker report also shed light on the unreliability of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush’s claims. Rush falsely boasted about partnerships with Boeing and NASA for design and testing, which never actually existed. He even made the misleading statement that the Titan’s hull would be built at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.
Controversy and Catastrophe
These false claims and the company’s disputes with industry experts are particularly concerning given the recent catastrophe. David Lochridge, a highly experienced Scottish submariner and engineer, was fired and faced threats of retaliation when he penned a confidential report warning about severe design flaws in the submersible.
As OceanGate faces the aftermath of the implosion, it becomes evident that the submersible’s electrical system, designed by interns, played a significant role in the tragic turn of events.
