19/12/2006: "Fathom magazine (1971) ...... Thermic lance UW accident"

We wrongly called the device a thermal lance should have been a thermic lance. Eric Buchanan was still seeking his work-place insurance cover payout 27 years after this accident and had contacted me (unsucessfully) for pictures illustrating his injuries. Underwater pictures of the propeller involved are elsewhere on this blog.
