You need to add a supernatural element. Like they all pass out and are suddenly on the titanic on the night of the disaster, and they have to warn the captain about what happens, but he won't listen to the weird stowaways, and they have to survive the sinking

A question for those who know something about carbon fiber structures, because I don't.

I thought (could be wrong) that carbon fiber is very strong in tension but not so good in compression.  Therefore with a pressure vessel, a carbon fiber construction would be good if you were going to put 5-6000psi inside the container.

That way the container is trying to expand, like a balloon, and carbon fibers are in tension and that's where they are strong and the container works.

But with this sub the carbon fibers are being compressed by water forces around the outside.  If carbon fiber is weak in compression isn't this whole design wrong?
Stop thinking like a 50 year old white guy.  


. Coincidentally I may resemble that remark  

I'm with ya though, my thoughts exactly on the material science of carbon fiber.

Plot twist. The capsule scenes were all a dream, the captain wakes up at home the day of departure, and gets on the ship. The final scene is the implosion at the time of lost contact.

Correct, CO2 poisoning is suffocating because you can't exhale/off-gas.  We can survive ok, down to about 14% O2 (for a little while) but if CO2 gets too high, we can't exchange gasses.  At 40% CO2, you would suffocate even if the O2 concentration was a normal 21%.

Your brain would be crushed before it could interpret any visual signals.

Should be a lights out situation with the nearly instantaneous compression acting on every surface.

Plus the inrush forces would cause a huge pressure spike one all the gasses were compressed.  I can't math that one out but it is way over that constant 6000psi.

shouldn't the "mother ship" have had a second sub or at least one of those remote unmanned ones to be able to immediately go after the tourist sub when they lost contact?

I think I've got the Netflix adaptation ready.  

Plot: An evil white racist deliberately sends five black disabled migrant homosexual transgender orphans to their deaths by cutting corners for profit.

Protagonist: David Sarah Lochridge. A stunning and brave 25-year-old female engineer. She's top of her class at CalTech and MIT and has a Nobel Prize in Engineering and Literature (because she has the best story).  She finds a cheap and effective way to make a submersible but is sexually harassed and fired by the CEO and his son because they hate women and because Andrew Tate told them to do so.  Played by Zendaya.  

Antagonists:
CEO and son, played by Michael Fassbender and the Rock. Ignore strong woman's suggestion and deliberately make unsafe tourist sub for disadvantaged orphans in coordination with Donald Trump.

Other Antagonists: Donald Trump, played by Alec Baldwin. Deliberately sabotages international agreement on safety regulations in effort to kill those immigrants, who are all rapists.  Luckily no guns needed for props so safe to hire Alec Baldwin.

Director:
Michael Bay

Producers: Dan and Dave from Game of Thrones, collaborating with all 87 producers from Star Trek: Discovery.

Here is one good to 36,000 feet:



This one can carry dozens of people but only to 328 feet.  If it could be modified to go to 14,000 feet or so someone could open up Titanic tourism.

They won't have to wait much beyond tomorrow morning to declare them dead - even if they were floating on the surface, they'd be trapped in the sub and suffocate.

I was just looking at those.  The Challenger Deep model cost $48 million in 2018 so the Titanic version should be cheaper.  If I was a billionaire and wanted to see Titanic why not just find someone who has one and ride down with them, paying for the cost of the surface ship and everything else?  No, instead go with the carbon fiber knock off Xbox controller woke new submarine company.
