“It’s like if you took a minivan and took all the seats out, that’s the amount of space you have,” Reiss said. “It’s sort of beautifully designed inside, it feels sort of like a waiting room at a spa, quiet and comfortable.”
Then they sank “like a stone,” gently falling for two hours and 30 minutes.
“The sub is very, very simple,” the veteran television writer told The Post. “You basically push it in the water and it sinks like a stone. So, it hits bottom and then you sail around and you’re powered by engines that look like desktop fans.”
The 23,000-pound vessel is steered by a video game controller, Reiss said. He did not feel unsafe during the dive.
“So, it’s super simple technology, which is very calming,” he joked. “It’s not high-tech.”The “beautiful and sleek” Titan, looking like something straight out of “Star Wars,” encountered buoyancy issues last summer.
To fix the issue, crews strapped huge pieces of “high-tech Styrofoam” to the vessel – a “makeshift” fix to the problem, Reiss said.
