Okay, that is funny.

I don't think Toyota should get off the hook. Doubtless, they'll be paying in recompense and reputation for years to come in ways we probably haven't even begun to see yet. I just don't see the connection between a US Navy mistake in 2001 and a Japanese corporate mistake in 2009-2010.

Default it had submarine in it

the point of it is, that we're talking about this in a sub sim forum there is a thread running right now on toyota recall and there was a question wheather toyota would honor up to the lives lost here, and I remebered what we had to do in that sub acceident, thought this would make good discussion. it had a submarine in it.

It's too early in the morning for this, perhaps when Dowly has a few next he can translate.

Here let me try:

"Toyota = Bad"
"US Navy = Not as bad as Toyota"
"Yubba = gibbering"
"Bathtubs 1 Submarines 0"
