The start of the bad design is the body being a cylinder, not a sphere! At the tremendous pressures it's operating at, unequal pressure would be applied. Then add the fact that carbon fiber is very tricky material and when it fails, it fails catastrophically.
I hadn't heard about one of the bolts not being put on. Wow.
I did hear about the US Navy hearing a sound 'consistent with an implosion' at about the time the signals were lost. I didn't realize they were so far deep so quickly. Yeah, looks like they died last Sunday.
The worst part is the 19-y/o son did not want to go on the cruise. He did it to please his dad for Father's Day.
