A search is underway for a missing submersible that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic. Canadian officials say the five-person submersible was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles (700 kilometers) south of St. John's, Newfoundland and that the search is being led by the U.S. Coast Guard. The owner of the ship that launched the submersible confirmed that it was operated by OceanGate Expeditions, which has been operating annual voyages since 2021 to the wreckage of the iconic ocean liner. In a statement, the company said it is working to bring the crew back safely.
It’s controlled with a knockoff Xbox controller. I’ll bet the “black box” is a cassette recorder bought from Goodwill for $3 and then spray painted black
That is the worst part to me. This kid’s main interests were Rubik’s cubes and volleyball. At least all these old guys had an interest in the Titanic and knew what they were getting into.
I hope there’s some kind of black box… what would be worse than it happenning again one day because we don’t know what happenned.

BBC said that this sub (Titan) was damaged last year, and this was its first dive since being “repaired.”
I’m betting it didn’t have a black box, and we’ll never know if the “repair” was the cause.
Why do you put a 19yo in an untested death trap like this…

I feel bad for the kid.
