A one-of-a-kind submersible that went missing while carrying five people to the Titanic shipwreck on Sunday was reportedly outfitted with “off-the-shelf” parts and piloted using a video game controller.
Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions — the company that owns the submersible called Titan — showed CBS correspondent David Pogue the unique components in a November CBS TV segment.
“We run the whole thing with this game controller,” Rush told Pogue as he held up a modified Logitech gamepad controller inside the sub.
