      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

      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.

          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 feel bad for the kid.
