Even if the below paragraph wasn't full of BS, just the horrible grammar alone would raise red flags. That's actually what I thought watching the News5 video clip, too. The spokesman for the Hydro4000 sounded like an idiot.

There's no "

would asphyxiate, without a doubt. Using the magic of the good ole Wikipedia...

I don't know about you guys, but I haven't heard anything on the news about millions of Tokyo residents suddenly dying due to low oxygen levels.
As submariner409 can attest, the low limit for O2 on subs is 17%. Even going from 17% to 20% causes a noticeable change in people's energy levels.

Awww, c'mon, submariner409. You know we run around with O2 down in the 5-6% range all the time! We only do it during nap time, though, so nobody really notices the low O2 content.
