OT - Aussie sub nearly lost!

those guys who think that being above the clouds with a parachute, is a safer deal, than being in a sub at depth, are operating under a false sense of safety...

try parachuting out of a c-130 or c-141 at traveling cruise

much less, getting the doors open if it's pressurized...

even trying to get to the doors, if the plane is spinning, is going to be next to impossible...

the sub story was hairraising... glad it turned out to be a tale of survival, as opposed to the alternative.
