> Subject: 	Diver sucked up intake pipes
> 
> As many of you know, I'm recovering from a series of chamber rides after
> two dives to 270fsw here in Maui last week. To add greater insult to
> injury, my wife's brother, Paul Young, died after apparently being sucked
> up the intact pipes to the Edison Plant in El Segundo, California, today,
> Wednesday, July 14, 1999. He left two small children, Kenny age 9, and
> Kristina, age 10 and an ex wife and mother who was dependent upon him for
> support.

> I would expect that there would be grates etc. in front of the intake
