I know this entire sub was a shitshow, but... It had an interior wall. Stuff was mounted to that, not directly into the outer hull.
Do you have a source for that? I was trying to figure out if that was the case but couldn't get evidence
Googling for "titan sub construction" and you can see pictures of it under construction, where the interior is clearly significantly smaller than the exterior, and there's visible open space past an inner shell.
Yes, exactly. The interior was insulated and whatnot. It had structural issues but this wasnt one of them

Wow
Sounds like the company and / or his estate will have $0 once all the lawsuits are over. One way to completely screw over your family I guess.
I hear more and more about this every day, about some design flaw. Didn't they think it through? I may be dumb but even I would nope out if the sub was unable to complete any of its test runs successfully.
