minus-squareZapBeebz@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoFrankly the biggest safety issue is that they have no transponder. So even if something goes wrong and they have to surface, rescuers are stuck looking for a drifting needle in a 41 million square mile haystack.
minus-squareCIWS-30@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoHonestly, I’m shocked by this. I would have thought that they’d at least be not-stupid enough to have something like that.
minus-squarewjrii@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoFair point, especially with all the other shortcuts taken.
minus-squaremobyduck648@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYeah you’d think they’d at least have an EPIRB or something along those lines?
