Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush admitted to not knowing 'which button is up or down' on the Titan submersible controls after it went down with a misaligned thruster, in a resurfaced documentary.
During a 2022 expedition, the pilot, named Scott Griffith, observed the submersible spinning strangely during the launch and Rush and the team scrambled to fix the problem from the mother ship on the surface.
The BBC documentary "The Travel Show" shows Scott shrug at the time and tell passengers "they checked it and it seemed good." as he explains that the vessel's controls are not working, suggesting a problem with the thruster.
