It can also only be opened from the outside even if it makes it back up to the surface by itself.
“It seems like this submersible has some elements of MacGyver-y jerry-rigged-ness,” CBS reporter David Pogue said during the segment. “I mean you’re putting construction pipes as ballasts.” Rush seemed unphased at the time. “I don’t know if I’d use that description of it but there’s certain things you want to be buttoned down,” he said at the time.
