Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Who in their right mind goes scuba diving near a power plant intake pipe?

[FatherofFive]

What are the damages? it sounds like an excellent adventure.

But they need a grate on that pipe.

[a fool in paradise]

Isn’t this how the Incredible Shrinking Man became Tidy Bowl Man?

[liberalh8ter]

C’mon. Everyone in this area knows what that is. This is beyond stupid.

[Gaffer]

The diver intentionally swam into one of the intake pipes after bypassing a piece of equipment to minimize the entry of objects," FPL said in a statement.

IF THIS IS TRUE, that pretty much settles it for me. He can describe the horror and dread all he wants but in the end, he went somewhere he should have known he wasn't supposed to be.

Sounds like a candidate for this year’s Darwin Award, only in this case he survived.

[IYAS9YAS]

Okay, this guy's utter stupidity aside, why the hell was he able to do this to begin with.

Thanks, Dept. of Energy and Hutchison nuke facility, for announcing to the world that any Jihadi with a bomb can go SCUBA diving here and get inside the facility, and there's nothing you've done about it in the 14-and-a-half years since 9/11.

Give him $100,000 for discovering a HUGE security gap in the nuclear power plant’s defenses...

[Mr. K]

But the most important question is...

DID HE DEVELOP ANY SUPER POWERS????

[left that other site]

In spite of “Globull warming”, the oceans around that area got viciously cold a few years ago.

Some very smart manatees were able to survive by hanging around the OUTFLOW pipe, which was warmer.

Smart Manatees.

The place to hang out is where the current goes AWAY from the Nuclear Power Plant.

[VTenigma]

I call BS. What created the current? If it was pumped water he would have gone through a pump and have been ground up. If you look at the picture on the left you can clearly see that is an outfall letting water back out of the plant

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He’ll get some money. Because in America, no matter how stupid you are, no matter how reckless you are, if a big corporation is involved, they are at fault.

[Obadiah]

So let’s recap for the viewers at home.

1) These guys took their surface boat to an area visibly near this plant.

2) They dropped anchor visibly near the intake/exhaust of the power plant.

3) As divers they saw the yellow buoy markers and apparently ignored them.

4) Admitted that they dove under water intentionally near a large object in close proximity to what they knew was the power plant.

5) Is now suing the local rate payers for their willful disregard and negligence.

Sounds about right. By the way, how much did it cost to fish these guys out and repair any damage? How much is it costing rate payers to fight this absurd action? Sounds like the ratepayers ought to go after these nuts.

[Gamecock]

If this was some type of intake wouldn’t he have had to got through a pump? Why wasn’t he turned to hamburger?

[albie]

Ok. His girlfriend gets the money.

[OrangeHoof]

“As he banged the podium with his third fist, the victim’s dorsal fin bristled...”

[conservmassrep]

Sounds like a possible security breach!

[Fightin Whitey]

[Jonah Hex]

Given this is Florida and nuc plants are known for warm water, he's lucky he didn't run into this.
