Obviously, you're joking.

But how hard could it be to get a Cat 395 excavator in there? Dig a little trench and bury it.

Sounds like a weekend project to me. Has someone told the telecoms this?



I think they could just drag a suitable hook behind a ship to carve out decent trench.

Geez, how are we so much better at this than the actual engineers?

Edit: to parent comment, I think people missed your joke.


I can't tell whether this is dumb or genius.


Fun fact! Near the shore they actually do bury the cables with a plow[1]
