Woke Titan Submersible - 'Here, hold my beer' contraption
[WND] The Titan's submersible's CEO, Stockton Rush, RIP, once declared that he didn't "hire '50-year-old white guys' with military experience to captain his vessels because they weren't 'inspirational.' Mr. Rush, 61, added that ... 'anybody can drive the sub' with a $30 video game controller.""Speaking to CBS News in November," RT reported, "Rush explained that the vessel was entirely controlled with a generic Bluetooth video game controller, which online sleuths discovered had a dismal reputation for reliability." So much for the need to build redundancy into such a system. The vessel reached its destination ... in bits, having imploded on June 18: "Wreckage of the Titan submersible was located on the ocean floor approximately 500 meters off the bow of the Titanic," said the Coast Guard, which has "convened a Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) into the loss of the Titan submersible and the five people on board."
