[PSUBS-MAILIST] Oops!

[Ian Roxborough <irox@ix.netcom.com>]

Not a psub, but it's not such good press for builders of home
made submarines...  I guess the moral of the story is don't
forget where you left your sub!

Toy Submarine Holds Ferry Terminal Hostage For Hours

There was just footage all over the TV news of a suspected explosive
device at the Steilacoom ferry dock, complete with bomb squad guys
dressed in their big pillow suits and Johnny 5 the suspicious package
handler, however, Seattlest barely had time to start formulating an
Escape From McNeil Island fantasy before the device was discovered to be
just some kid's homemade submarine. Cool toy--we wonder how well it
worked--but taped up segments of PVC probably aren't something you want
to lose track of.

>From the News Tribune:

    Police used a remote-control robot to examine the device, which
sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said looked like a bomb.

    In the meantime, heavy media coverage of the disruption caused by
the investigation was seen by some your residents who came to the dock
area and told authorities what had happened. They said they'd taped some
plastic pipes together a few days ago but lost track of it. The toy
apparently floated to the ferry dock and became lodged under an
entryway.
