morning, this. a team of five will squeeze into titan and view the wreckage on the monitors. to fly the vessel, the pilot uses a playstation controller. that s our colleague gabe cohen who has reported in the submersible that is missing near the titanic wreckage. what it s like inside the vessel and will tell us about the company behind it. it takes two to make a thing go right it takes two to make it outta sight onene, two, get loose now it takes two to make a. stay twowo nights and get a $ 50 besest western gift car. book now at bestwestern.com. woman: why did i choose safelite? i love my y electric car, so whn my windshield got cracked, i trusted the experts at safelite. with their state-of-the-art technology, they replaced the windshie, recalibrated the car s camera, and thenecycled my old glass. i found out safelite recycles over three million windshids a year. great job! tech: thank you! woman: replace, recalibrate, recycle. i count on safelite.
