1973 Pisces III rescue

Quote:

Forty years ago two British sailors plunged almost 1,600ft into an abyss, 150 miles off Ireland, in a deep-sea submersible. Trapped in a 6ft-diameter steel ball for three days, the men had only 12 minutes of oxygen left when they were finally rescued.

Some submariner jobs are better than others, theirs doesn't sound too appealing.

Glad they made it.
