This is a sad, sad, tragedy.
To Mr. Rush’s spirit: Some of those 50 year old white guys have been down the Mariana Trench, long before you built your toy with a toy controller you’re so proud of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trieste_(bathyscaphe)
I wonder how well that controller works when hit with salt water? We all know electronics and salt water mix real well. What you see as cool advertisement that some 20 year old in college with blue hair might see inspirational, someone with common sense sees as “stupid.”
I hadn't heard about this. Assuming the joystick's country of origin, I question its durability.
A report from yesterday revealed that text messages from above were the guiding source for the sub. So if this is true, did the sub have some sort of visual ability to guide the 20 yr olds above and did it break down? There are many questions as yet unanswered. But then we're dealing with nincompoops with much to hide.
Would it not be ironic if they find this tin can intact and upon forensic examination they discover that the cause of the tragedy was that the batteries in the X-box controller died and they forgot to pack along a spare set of AAA batteries?
