Well, two months later, in March of 1968, a Soviet sub called the K-129 just vanished.
We don't know exactly why it sunk.
There's all kinds of conspiracy theories about what might have happened.
It just sank to the bottom of the ocean.
And once the Soviets sent their search crews out trying to locate it and failed, we came in and somehow through our sensor technology or whatever reason your conspiracy theory of choice might tell you, we found the boat.
So then the thought was, if we could get inside that thing...
Such a bonanza.
Or, and this is the big one.
The problem was that the sub was three miles below the surface of the ocean.
And the pressures at that depth, according to David, are roughly... 7,500 pounds per square inch.
Which meant to get the whole thing up, they were looking at scenarios where they'd have to lift something like 14 million pounds.
Oh, that's all?
No big one.
So their solution is to get a room full of top secret engineers together and just start spitballing ideas.
Like, what if we just went down there and attached rockets to it?
How do we catch it when it comes back down?
It's heavy.
Except that we can't get the gas in there because of the pressure.
So in the end, they settled on...
claw.
