The scientific director for OceanGate, Steven Ross, testified on Thursday that the Titan submersible had malfunctioned just prior to its fatal dive to the Titanic wreckage last year. The malfunction reportedly caused passengers onboard the submersible to 'tumble about,' and it took an hour to get them out of the water. The testimony revealed that the sub had to abort a dive just six days before the implosion that killed its five passengers.
