I hope there’s some kind of black box… what would be worse than it happenning again one day because we don’t know what happenned.

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

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.
