Weissmann said Rush told him how he had gotten the carbon fibre used to make Titan, specifically the hull of the vessel, "at a big discount from Boeing".

Apparently 'human remains' discovered within the debris
For some reason, hearing that really hit me. How their loved ones must feel on reading that.
