#19: All’s Well That Ends Well
Working in a submarine is no joke, and the people who work in them are high-qualified, high-trained professionals. However, accidents and emergency situations can still happen despite all precautions and preparation. This person experienced a scary situation during their first deployment on a submarine. It’s an experience they will never forget.
The submarine lost propulsion and everyone on board immediately began emergency protocol. Our storyteller contacted backup propulsion, who immediately began restarting the sub reactor. Panic struck the storyteller when they saw the fear in their superiors’ eyes since these guys remain calm in pretty much any situation. They were able to get propulsion back, but there was a period of time when the sub was quickly sinking. Terrifying.
