Karl Stanley said he told Stockton Rush about what "sounded like a flaw/defect" after taking a dive on the sub, according to an email seen by CNN.

    I doubt this is true. The hull is made out of carbon fiber. It doesn’t “crack”, it shatters.

      Stockton Rush, the former CEO of Oceangate held a patent on a system that would listen for cracking of the hull that would warn of hull failure, I wonder how it worked out for him.

        As Cameron said, when you hear these “warnings” they tell you that you are already dead.
