The University of Washington also said its Applied Physics Lab “was not involved in the design, engineering or testing of the Titan submersible used in the RMS TITANIC expedition.” “The pressure vessel is not Macgyver’ed at all because that’s where we worked with Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington,” Rush said at the time.īut on Thursday, Boeing sent KIRO7 a statement that said: “Boeing was not a partner on the Titan and did not design or build it.”
