Oceangate engineer: Tried to convince boss to have a "witness panel" on the mandrel making the cylinder, but he refused, mandrel was already made. Witness panel means making a larger piece than necessary and cut off the excess once it is all made to be kept safely to allow for investigation of material should there be a failure of the main part. Lack of witness panel for the Titan means they can't investigate the material "intact" from the built and compare against wreck.
