[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree. They were trying things and responding professionally. NOT saying it was not tense, but the amateurs in particular may not have been aware of how close they were to disaster. [/quote] If this is real, there were “multiple attempts” to drop the “rack”, which I assume are the pipes on racks on the sides that can be dropped by the occupants moving to one side of the sub to tilt it. They would have know that that the sub needed to ascend quickly if they were asked to drop the ballast. And that multiple attempts was not a good sign. [/quote] The tilting of the sub is not the "standard" way to drop the weights from the sub, that's just what the passengers had to do on a previous dive when the release mechanism failed. Maybe they had to do it again this time, but we don't know for sure.[/quote]
