Neptune is lying in a deep ocean trench, subject to slides of rock and silt from farther up this underwater canyon. These slides 1) cover up the escape hatch and 2) keep shoving Neptune over to an angle where the DSRV can't latch onto that hatch.

But the next evening, Mary Lyn called Jim and told him Bob had had an accident on the 24th while flying his hang glider off Point Fermin, California...

Shell's Pacesetter II rig, now drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, will move to the Baltimore Canyon by mid-April. Texaco, Continental, Mobil, Gulf and Houston Oil & Minerals are also moving rigs to the area...
