We all know how to sink an Irish submarine, don't we? HINT: Knock on the door! What we don't know is how the TITAN submersible imploded. Had a faulty $30 Logitech video game controller something to do with it?
In 2022, CBS journalist David Pogue took an in-depth look at the TITAN, noting his disbelief at "how many pieces of this sub seemed improvised, with off-the-shelf components.”
A previous passenger of the OceanGate submersible, when it lost contact for a few hours, Pogue said that the chilling waiver signed by potential passengers read: "This experimental vessel has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, emotional trauma, or death." After which they paid US$250,000 for the privilege! Am I missing something?
So how do you sink an Irish submarine again? You knock on the door and they will open the window and say "I'm not falling for that one again!"
