SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the plausibility of a fictional scenario where a sabotaged underwater experiment causes a jetstream of water and sand to damage a boat hull. Participants explore various mechanisms, including underwater explosions and gas releases, that could propel sand to the surface, potentially embedding it in the hull. Key concepts discussed include buoyancy loss due to gas bubbles and the impact of debris from underwater explosions. The consensus is that while direct sand blasting may not be feasible, creative alternatives like buoy collisions or gas chamber releases could effectively serve the plot's needs.
