Aren’t submarines INTENDED to sink?

china can steal all the S they want but when they try to do it themselves they can’t get past their nature of cutting corners.

I think they’re intended to ‘submerge’ and then get back up.

It was the resurfacing that was the problem.

What a horrible way to go. Hope it was quick for them.

What goes up, comes down. What goes down does not necessarily come up. Somebody probably forgot to close the screen door.

Only when the sinking is reversible.

I blame it on three submariners named Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Deep and Ho Lee Fuk.

I stole it from some genius in California who hoaxed a news station after an Asiana flight had a very hard landing/crash. Here is a link to a short, hilarious video of that broadcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XYgM2K2dqk
True story.
