David Pogue, a CBS reporter and science writer, admits that he was in a panic the night before he boarded a submersible that carries wealthy adventurers to the wreck of the Titanic, and which is now missing in the Atlantic Ocean with five people on board. A video of Pogue’s trip in the fall of 2022, in which he voices his concerns about the Titan submersible’s safety to Stockton Rush, the CEO of the company that operates it, OceanGate, telling him it seems partly ‘jerry-rigged’ after finding out, amongst other things, that it is steered by an inexpensive game controller, has now gone viral.
