“They knew it. They had been warned on multiple occasions...And I think that we can only hope that we ensure in the future that something like this does not happen, and people take this very, very seriously.”
, was made with experimental materials, including carbon fiber, which experts say has not been pressure-tested over time in such extreme depths.
“Innovation is a wonderful thing,” said Bart Kemper, a mechanical engineer who is part of the Marine Technology Society, an industry group of ocean engineers, technologists, policymakers and educators. While carbon fiber has long been used within the aerospace industry, Kemper said it had not been proven to repeatedly withstand such deep-sea pressures.
“It’s not sexy. It’s not, some would say, innovative, but we understand how it reacts in these situations very clearly,” Marquet said. Since 2018, Kemper said he and more than three dozen members of the Marine Technology Society worried that the company’s “experimental approach” could result in “negative outcomes,” whether minor or catastrophic, that could have serious ripple effects in the industry.
