Successful Scorpio

This amazing event happened on the 7^th August 2005 when 7 Russian sailors got stuck 190 metres down the Pacific Ocean. The events that come next you won’t believe, because they are so amazing. It also shows how much we need robots in our lives.

Firstly the Russians saw that they were stuck in some nets, so they decided to call for help. The only problem was the Scorpio 45 was set in Scotland, so it took three days to get to them.

Next they saw that they were properly stuck in the nets. Now that Scotland had received the message they decided to call out Scorpio 45 to go and help them. Scorpio 45 is a deep sea rescuer that helps people survive when in dangerous situations under the sea. It is a robot that shows how much we need robots in our lives.

Then Scorpio 45 appeared in the distance all the divers calmed down. As soon as Scorpio 45 was close enough it started to cut through the nets. While it was cutting through them it was supplying the Russians with food, water and oxygen. The nets were all tangled up, so it was hard to try and cut the nets without damaging the Priz.

Finally after a lot of chopping, they got enough power and got back up to the top. When they got to land they all went back to their houses and their families greeted them with joy and happiness. Their families were so happy to see them again.
