    Can they not open a hatch if it’s on the surface?

    Water would be a problem still, but not suffocation, if so.

      Nope. The hatch is bolted from the outside. They can’t do anything from the inside and are utterly dependent on someone outside with a power socket wrench to unscrew each of the 17 bolts holding the hatch on.

      There are some design flaws with this thing.
