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.
Inside the pipeline is normal atmospheric pressure
while the pressure outside is 2700PSI,
or 1.3 tons per square inch.


And then a crab walks by........

Reminds me of that, oh crap what was it again? Maybe a "New" Twilight Zone, with the highschool kids, they all go swimming at the lake and there's a slime monster and it sucks one of them through the boards of the raft.... pretty creepy...

Poor Crab.

Ok...I have a new plan....all we have to do is get Saddam Hussein to walk by a pipeline 6000ft under the surface of the ocean while a robot saw on the pipe. Much less dangerous for our troops and it has the added benefit of being entertaining to watch. We could even make it pay-per-view and raise enough $ to pay off the federal deficit.

I need to see a higher quality version of this...poor crab.

The vehicle probably had no lights, just IR... it was pretty deep.
