Add: 5 divers were working on an oil rig doing underwater maintenance or something when an explosion and sudden pressure change sucked all the men into an 80cm wide pipe A pipe meant for liquids at high pressure not humans By horrible cruel luck they ended up in an air pocket All injured broken legs snapped collar bones dislocations and it's pitch black inside this pipe again not intended for humans to ever enter but they sound off and check that they're all alive Their equipment is mostly smashed up from being violently pulled hundreds of metres inside a pipe barely wide enough for a human in less than a second They do however have one functional air tank They decide to send the least injured man back Add: 5 divers were working on an oil rig doing underwater maintenance or something when an explosion and sudden pressure change sucked all the men into an 80cm wide pipe Add: A pipe meant for liquids at high pressure not humans By horrible cruel luck they ended up in an air pocket.
