How does every new detail about the excursion keep getting worse? Next week I’m going to learn they used Saran wrap for the windows.
The sub was totaled. Like you need to change a helmet after a crash even it it looks fine
It is my understanding that Rush also hard-bottomed the sub (crashed into the sea floor) while diving to the Andrea Doria. And was a little piss baby about it the entire time.
That's apparently a shorter version of the video I'd seen previously; eventually Rush does hand over the controls, by throwing the playstation controller at the guy's head.
i wonder if it would have made the trip without that crashing. not that it matters much, but wow. how insanely stupid!
It was always a matter of when, not if.
And the week after that, we'll find out that the sub didn't even go into the ocean. They crushed it in a car compactor.
