Scientists  have uncovered shocking new details about what may have caused the catastrophic implosion.

The original theory was that the vehicle exploded from within due to a vulnerability in the exterior that could not withstand the extreme pressure of the deep-sea.

But now, a scientist testifying in a hearing about the tragedy has said that тιтan malfunctioned days before the fatal mission to the тιтanic in June 2023.

The malfunction caused pᴀssengers onboard to ‘tumble about’ and one crew member crashed into the bulkheading, which a physicist has claimed was where water first began to flow into тιтan, according to Dr Steven Ross.

This new theory aligns with the conclusion made by an independent researcher who reviewed footage of the wrecked sub released this week.

Scott Manley, an astrophysicist, suggested a faulty connection at the front between the carbon fiber of the hull and тιтanium ring, the location of the bulkheading, caused the explosion.

The тιтan submersible disappeared on June 18, 2023, but the team involved in its development are now standing trial for the event that killed all five crew members.

Dr Ross testified  in front of a US Coast Guard pane on Thursday, saying the that when the malfunction happened, ‘One pᴀssenger was hanging upside down. The other two managed to wedge themselves into the bow end cap.’

The former scientific director for OceanGate said he did not know if an official ᴀssessment was conducted of тιтan’s hull before it dove into the Atlantic, but ensured the staff were competent people.

But days later, тιтan was lowered into the Atlantic and the malfunction has stayed a secret until today.

If the failure had occurred in the middle, Manley explained that the water would have propagated in both directions and left carbon fiber debris in the front and rear portions of the submersible.

Footage of the wreck showed only carbon debris in the center of the hull, with the nose cone found without surrounding debris and the tail blasted off to the side.

‘Based on what I know and what I see here, the pressure hull failed at the glue join between the carbon fiber and the тιтanium ring on the front of the sub, that failure propagated backward with the water pushing everything into the rear of the cabin in milliseconds,’ Manley shared on X.

‘The front just popped off, the bolts used to hold it in probably snapped due to the water rushing in, and the window sH๏τ out, no idea where that is.’

Manley explained his theory further in a YouTube video, suggesting that failure began at the front bulkhead that subdivided the submersible’s interior into waterтιԍнт compartments.

And with the тιтan, this region is a large, silver ring made of тιтanium.
