minus-squarePigeon@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years 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-up7·2 years 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.
