unwittingly exposing themselves to an enormous pressure differential

and the instant they unstick the stopper, all five of them were sucked into the pipe and shot 120 feet down it before getting stuck

in the dark, in an oil pipe, badly injured, with no breathing apparatus or light sources

@quinn2win
Mon, Jan 8, 2024 4:35 PM
and no way of telling which end of the pipe was the right one

@quinn2win
Mon, Jan 8, 2024 4:35 PM
with some portions of the pipe being fully submerged in water or oil

he told the others he would return with help, but it was swiftly determined that helping the others was completely impossible

at least with cave stories they went in the cave on purpose

But I know it's horrifying. And the fact the one survivor made it out was only because he got so, so lucky
