"Air travel resulted in 0.07 deaths for every 1 billion miles travelled compared to 212.57 for motorcycles and 7.28 for cars. We will continue to make the skies safer and you continue to fly!"

Wonder if moon man owns a motorbike?

Flying is one of the safest forms of travel, do you ever even leave the house?

I disagree as i tried it once but didnt get very far! I landed with a thud from the top of the shed!

He goes as far as the garden to take copious photographs, we know that as much.

The converse is also true, my wife reminds you of "The Illegal has Landed" incident not that long ago. AKA "It's Raining Men".

That's not flying, that's just falling without style.

Everyone knows that to fly all you have to do is aim at the ground and miss. More effort is required.

Does the sub even have windows? A quick Google suggests it is windowless. So instead of watching video footage on a screen they take a highly risky and uncomfortable dive down to the wreck and watch video footage on a screen.

I don't see the appeal personally.

Indeed, he needs to flap his arms faster for sure

Hope this turns out ok even though the odds are stacked against it.
I have a low tolerance for risk, I don't even think I will fly again (maybe 30 years ago the last time) and I understand why ww2 fighter pilots took a handgun on missions for a quick way out

Driving your car on a public road is more dangerous

Uneducated people don't understand stats, so that's about 80% of the UK.

 

[Ayahuasca]

If they're still alive by some chance, I can't imagine the smell in there

 

[bigmike20vt]

I quite honestly have an Ocean Science degree if that helps

In my educated opinion, they seem pretty ******

Anyone seen any info on dissolvable ballast & if that was built into this sub? Should be if they have any sense.

confirmation on bbc that it has disposable clamps for the ballast

"if the weights on the sub cannot be released, they should dissolve after a certain amount of time so they should always be able to get to the surface."

If that happens, let's hope they can be spotted bobbing about on the surface because they're not getting out without someone to undo the bolts from the outside.

Stats are rubbish anyway.

Christ, they've literally milled out a massive steel bell and have Blue Peter'd the rest of it together. No surprise this is happening, that bloke giving the talk had far too much confidence in what he was saying too. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but that whole thing and the bloke is covered in red flags.

Lol what is the point then? Go all the way down to look at something on a screen?

And they arent snagged.

You can look out the window where the toilet is?

Seems insane when you look at it like that, what is the point if there aren't any windows
