Mike Reiss, who has been involved with The Simpsons for years, recalls taking a submersible to the Titanic wreck in a Reader’s Digest article. Stockton Rush, who later perished on the infamous dive a year later that took his and others, was the pilot. Reiss describes the descent as boring, with nothing to see, and the craft buffeted by currents. They reached the wreck, had a few minutes to observe and take pictures, then returned to the surface. Reiss does not fully agree with the official inquiry blaming Rush for inattention to safety, arguing that it took time to reach the moon despite terrible disasters that did not stop the program.
