In this episode of the CotaCast, we delve into the world of transportation disasters and explore the importance of maintaining two distinct methods of travel: aircraft and underwater vessels. We uncover the tragic story of the submersible vessel Titan, which imploded during a deep-sea dive to the Titanic site, resulting in the loss of five lives. We examine the critical role of vessel design and materials, highlighting the risks of using unproven technologies under extreme pressure. Drawing parallels, we also shed light on aviation disasters caused by structural failures and compromised fuselages. Through these accounts, we aim to highlight the crucial need for robust regulations and maintenance practices in aviation and nautical industries while unraveling the similarities and differences in their safety oversight frameworks. Tune in to discover the untold stories and explore the fascinating world of transportation safety.
