Seems like the latest “plan d’neg” worked;

In french, “plan d’neg” (litterally, n*gger’s plan”) means a ridiculous, often complicated idea, no matter what the skin color of the guy who came up with it is. It’s just an expression. People use that without racist intentions or even thinking about it.
^ I think that’d be a really cool idea… but I don’t think sharks can swim that far down. Besides we probably can’t get sharks… how about some mutated and ill-tempered sea bass?
Pressure calculation isn’t direct, but a log- calling for dive tables, not simple addition–humans don’t do well at 3,000 feet, the physiology of deep water divers is quite different.
It’s also interesting how many folks watching on TV don’t realize how bright the lights on the submersibles are to be able to see anything at 5k depth. (Or that a “normal” light bulb would collapse.)
Another feature is the addition of all this oil to several centuries worth of garbage dumping by humans in the oceans, like toxins, nuclear waste, tampons and teabags, and other things that don’t disappear in an anaerobic environment. Conservative economics says “Screw the oceans, who needs ‘em?”

As long as there isn’t a hurricane to make the ship(s) have to retreat.*

Is Regan/Bush’s so called Star Wars program ready yet? It might do the trick if the androids fail.
