Trapped Under The Sea

It sounds like the makings of a blockbuster action film: five men down a tunnel so dark, and so deep, that they're relying on specialized breathing equipment to navigate the pitch-black, oxygen-starved hole in a bid to complete the final stage of a crucial engineering mission. And then, their equipment fails.

These events are true, and they happened right here, hundreds of feet below Boston Harbor.
