Sucked into nuclear power plant pie – scuba diver

Scuba diver sucked into nuclear power plant pipe relives horrific experience living in ‘complete darkness’ , Mirror UK,  6 MAR 2016 BY 

Christopher Le Cun was in complete darkness when he was sucked through a 16ft-wide nuclear plant water pipe. A scuba diver broke down in tears after reliving the harrowing ordeal of when he was sucked into a nuclear plant water pipe and was forced to contemplate suicide.

Christopher Le Cun was diving off the coast of Hutchinson Island in South Florida when he was suddenly gulped “like a wet noodle” into the huge pipe – which pulls through 500,000 gallons of water a minute and is used to cool nuclear reactors.

The pipe is 16ft wide and a quarter of a mile long.

Christopher – who is launching a legal case against the owners of the nuclear plant, Florida Power and Light (FPL) – said he was in complete darkness when he was sucked into the giant tube, and couldn’t see a hand in front of his face.

Because the pipe at the St Lucie Nuclear Power Plant is so long it took Christopher five whole minutes before he reached its end………. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/scuba-diver-sucked-nuclear-power-7504504
