Is an Empire State Building an acceptable unit of measurement, is it not normally elephants, buses or even jumbo jets? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, 140 million elephants. Spoiler I actually googled "weight of Empire State building in elephants" and it popped straight up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One atmosphere is 14.7 pounds per square inch is the pressure exerted at sea level and it goes up an atmosphere every 10 meter depth so at 4000 meters you would be talking about the weight of a rhino per square inch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) I don't have many life rules, but one I do have can be adapted to suit this situation. I will avoid death or injury by not going in submarines, going up mountains, riding on rollercoasters, cycling, going in water more than waist deep, driving like a fucking lunatic...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I wouldn't go in that to the bottom of the Forth & Clyde Canal. I believe it hadn't been examined and approved seaworthy by an independent authority. The Canadian Government (I think it must cover their jurisdiction) are just as culpable as the operators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
