Last year, OceanGate CEO Rush told a travel journalist that he had gotten the carbon fibre used to make Titan "at a big discount from Boeing".

He reportedly said he was able to get the carbon fibre at a good rate "because it was past its shelf life for use in airplanes".

Uh huh!

With time, it will be interesting to see how fare in terms of fatigue. Metal fatigue can cause accidents with aircrafts. Will aging carbon fibre aircrafts become an issue? The Boeing 787 Dreamliner's fuselage and wings are made of carbon fibre and I believe it the case of the Airbus A350 XWB also. Are we going to see accidents like with carbon fibre? The was April 28, 1988 and caused my metal fatigue (cracks in the fuselage)
