I second the motion. Michael your it. Let me know when you got something

Everyone,

Pull on your thinking caps. Any submarine accidents out there? Anything from
professional, military, PSUBS. I think all accidents should at least be
looked at for relavance for the group.

I seem to recall a movie some years ago about a research sub that got tangled
on some cables. It had two chambers. One was a diver lock out chamber. It
was designed for one man but some kid went along for a ride. Being untrained
the kid hyperventalated and used up all the oxygen before they could be
rescued. The rescue occured via a tethered ROV with a grappling hook!

I think Jason Robard's played the ROV operator. Was this a true accident?
Any details? Name of movie?


Regards,
Ray
