minus-square ZapBeebz ( @ZapBeebz@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink25•2 years 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-square CIWS-30 ( @CIWS-30@kbin.social ) linkfedilink10•2 years 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-square wjrii ( @wjrii@kbin.social ) linkfedilink5•2 years agoFair point, especially with all the other shortcuts taken.
minus-square mobyduck648 ( @mobyduck648@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink4•2 years agoYeah you’d think they’d at least have an EPIRB or something along those lines?
