Oh, you don't know why?

I don't know why either.

interesting interview with James Cameron re that crushed sub.
Apparently it wasn't certified for going to those depths, or at all, and they made it a cylinder, (sphere is the 'safest' shape for a pressure vessel), and they made the stupid thing out of carbon fibre, FFS. Steel or Titanium are about the only proper materials for any super deep diving sub, AFAIK.

Certainly not paper mache

James Cameron mentioned that even an acrylic sphere would have been ok.

Funny how the first prototype of a composite material cylinder with end caps was done by Richard Branson. You don't know if they had an internal metal frame in the carbon. The biggest fuckup was that they either ignored the structure monitoring system and or didn't do any fatigue testing on the vessel after uses.

maybe it couldn't get certified properly if it had carbon in the structure/pressure vessel.

Is this now about James Cameron and how clever he is?

I'd say he has some expertise in the field.

I don't think that is the point.
