minus-squarePigeon@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoCan they not open a hatch if it’s on the surface? Water would be a problem still, but not suffocation, if so.
minus-squareStringTheory@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoNope. The hatch is bolted from the outside. They can’t do anything from the inside and are utterly dependent on someone outside with a power socket wrench to unscrew each of the 17 bolts holding the hatch on. There are some design flaws with this thing.
