Guessing the game controller did not get new batteries before the trip. Too bad Rusk can’t be charged with murder. Or the sub imploded. Stupid flippant narcissist. Safety rules just bit him and sadly 5 others who trusted him with their lives.
The father and son’s business interests were to get away from fossil fuels yet it’s fossils fuels that searching for them.
I keep seeing people make a big deal out of the “game controller”. Bomb squads, military drone operators, and others use these because they work as a simple input device.
They are cheap and effective and not any different than a computer mouse. I am surprised the military does not pay $1000 for the same thing labeled as “mil-spec”.
Just my .02
There is a lot of speculation and a laundry list of things that could have gone wrong and they had a history of many problems ending dives to include the batteries. From what I can tell, the game controller was probably one of the most reliable things on the vessel.
