They actually wired a navy ship to go backwards when forwards was ordered..

There was a BBC special on the Titan submarine before it imploded, and on one of the dives with the camera crew, it got stuck going in circles on the sea floor because the direction buttons on the gamepad used to steer it were incorrectly mapped.


Well, the Titan was a janky operation, this is the British Navy, it ruled the seas once!


I know, that's why I think it's funny that they both failed in extremely similar ways.


Ah, the Ship of State
