Amazing Video footage... Poor Crab...
Quote:
|
This is a video taken in 6000 feet of water. An undersea robot is sawing a 3mm wide slit (1/10th of an inch ... remember that width) in a pipeline. The pressure inside the pipeline is 0 psig, while the pressure outside is 2700 psi, or 1.3 tons per square inch. Then a crab comes along....

I bet that crab will never climb on a pipe again.

I dont get it! Was the crab pulled in the tube due to pressure or was in sawed in half or something?

Pressure
So, under that much water, there is a LOT of pressure. Inside the pipe however, there wasn't ANY because it was sealed and linked with the surface. SO... Just like in space movies, it got sucked in at HIGH speed. 
Ever see Alien Resurrection? Remember the part where the alien gets sucked out of that tiny hole in the glass? THAT is what it was like.
Hope I helped.

Luckily for everyone involved a small tube of superglue was sucked in just seconds before the crab and he was spared...

I think that crab needs a bit more help than superglue.
