Antonella Wilby testified that the Titan's navigation system was overly complex, relying on manual data entry into a notebook, which significantly delayed their response times.
Wilby highlighted that the Titan's navigation data required transcription into a notebook before it could be processed, underpinning the inadequacies of OceanGate’s technological approach.
After hearing a loud bang during the Titan's ascent, former OceanGate scientific director Steven Ross confirmed it related to the pressure hull, raising further safety concerns.
Wilby's critical recommendation for standard navigation software was dismissed by OceanGate as they favored developing an in-house solution, which they admitted was time-constrained.
