Pisces III: A dramatic underwater rescue: Possibly of interest ?
Forty years ago two British sailors plunged almost 1,600ft into an abyss, 150 miles off Ireland, in a deep-sea submersible. Trapped in a 6ft-diameter steel ball for three days, the men had only 12 minutes of oxygen left when they were finally rescued.
The story of Pisces III, which made headlines at the time, is now largely forgotten.
