The version I heard, which seems more likely is, they were not able to close the torpedo tube once open due to the water rushing in. They had to leave the torpedo room and close the water tight door leaving the bow torpedo room flooded. Then it sank to the bottom. Ditching ballast allowed the stern to rise to the surface but the bow was still on the ocean floor. They were in 130 feet of water and the ship was 275 feet long. Then I heard while the escape hatch was only made for one person at a time, they tried 2 people at a time.
❓ QUESTION ON STORY 2. Why didn't ANY of the men who had made it out of the sub already swim back down to be sure everything was okay once no one else came out? That's what I would have done! I would have swam down there to see what was wrong they could have easily seen the hatch is open swim back up and then gone back down to close the hatch. Because since they all made it to the surface already, they clearly had enough air to shut the hatch behind them and then swim to the surface on a breath-hold. So why didn't they do that? Were they just too freaked out by the fact they barely escaped? I don't know it just seems extremely strange to me NONE of the men who were swimming right above the sub went back down to see what the holdup was especially since they were swimming right above it for like 10 hours before rescue showed up. To be fair I'm a lifeguard and have been an ocean lifeguard for most of my life. So I would definitely feel a responsibility.
@@brianclark9948 The British built steam powered submarines at one point. Look up British K class submarines. Also look up the Battle of May Island. The British have never been good at submarines.

The problem is, as with any inherently risky activity, there are incidents all of the time and most don't rise to the level of emergency response required. If everything is urgent, nothing is.
imagine having your penis cut off and your eyes gouged out then letting birds pick at your live brain through your eye holes... Which would you choose?
what gets me is the fact the the two inside the bubble of the submarine survived simply because of where they were positioned inside the vessel as opposed to the other two. Sadly they died because they didn't call shotgun
@Jordy Montejano its fascinating. I know people sometimes survive wrecks because as they fall to the ground the pressure creates air pockets. Ik its reductive but it makes me think of when a cup is placed under water and keeps an air pocket
Narrator's voice is perfect tone, and the graphics are evidence that this dude really goes above and beyond to immerse us in these experiences. This channel has quickly become my favorite.
Agreed. My favorite for sure, my only complaint is the music. I wish he would use more different kinds of creepy music for these stories. It really sets the atmosphere.
@@Weaai71 I'm going to have to disagree - I think the music absolutely nails it, the intended atmosphere. It's minimal/restrained enough that it doesn't wear itself out from overuse, I think in this case, less=more. I think actually creepy-sounding music would be too on-the-nose. It's like the Helvetica of psychological-horror BGmusic IMO 🙂
@@paulfletcher3998 Or the reverse where people overdramatizing everything "American mostly". These stories are sad, depressing and scary enough as is, So just telling it like it was, is more than enough, which is why i love this channel.
I really need to hug my dad. I never thought about how freaking dangerous being a marine biologist is until I came to this channel and realized he's been in this sub, the ALVIN and has been so deep the large styrofoam coffee cup he brought me from a dive at the Galapagos that's compressed down to a fifth of it's original size easily could have been him thousands of times over. Thanks, I really needed this.
It is even worse in the case of HMS Thetis, because the video got one detail wrong. Ships with cutting equipment were on site and on time, but were *ordered* not to cut the hull. It was 1939, the Admiralty knew war with Germany was inevitable and were more interested in preserving the ship rather than saving the crew. A submarine whose hull was cut into would have been structurally compromised even after repairs, but if it sank without being cut into it could be salvaged and put back into service, which is what happened in the end. And mind you, the stern of the Thetis was sticking wholly out of the water, with the bow pointing downwards and being driven into the seafloor. Meaning, the rescue crews had easy, *dry* access to the ship to cut into it.
I hate the idea of having to stay under water to let your body adjust to the new pressure until you can go to the surface, its probably one of the scariest parts for me, if you stay too long you are essentially trapped
It's the same if you're unlucky enough to drive off the road into a body of water. You have to wait until the interior of the car fills up to equalize the pressure on both sides of the door before you can open it, especially if your window is up.
The story surrounding HMS Thetis is actually worse than presented. Ships with the cutting equipment needed to cut through the hull (and we are talking about a roughly centimetre and a half thick plating, so relatively thin) were on site. The stern of the Thetis was actually sticking *out* of the water prominently, with the bow being ploughed into the seabed, so rescuers had easy access to the submarine and no divers were needed. Cutting would have been easy and the men on the site urged for it, only to be ordered to stand by. Relatively recently a document from the period was found in the public archives that confirmed cutting through the hull was dismissed as an option because it would have compromised the structural integrity of the ship. This was 1939 and war with Germany looked (and was) inevitable and the Admiralty was more interested in preserving the ship rather than saving the crew. A submarine with a cut hull would have been structurally compromised even after repairs, but if it sank *without* being cut into, then it could be salvaged and put back into service, which is what happened in the end.
HMS Thetis was salvage and recommissioned HMS Thunderbolt, the are two memorial plagues one at Holyhead, Anglesey and the other at Woodside, Birkenhead
The last story is so frustrating cause of how much incompetence and just lack of urgency and preparedness there was. It sounded like all the rescue divers and ships were given barely any information of the severity of the situation or what exactly what going on. Sounded like all they were told was “ we have some workers stuck somewhere near a sunken ship and I think they’re fine so don’t worry or rush yourselves”
@@AyeliaGDoren at first they did but they quickly changed it. Even so any rescue mission shouldn’t be taken as a “take your time” operation especially ones at sea
"Hey, you're going to go underwater in a piece of machinery. Do you wanna wear a wet suit or anything?" "Nah, it'll be fine. We'll be there for 30 minutes - what could possibly go wrong?" As my daddy told me time and time again: Plan for things to go wrong, not for things to go right.
Every time I start to leave the house under dressed during the winter because I'll be in a car I have this exact conversation with myself and I'm always go get a proper coat.
I feel so bad for all those people stuck in the submarine waiting to essentially run out of air and die all because that one guy panicked, and in his panic opened the hatch early causing everyone to die and have no chance or hope of survival. I can't even imagine being in that situation it's so horrific, I'm afraid of deep waters like the ocean as is so yeah shits terrifying.
That was my thought listening to that story about the British submarine. I can not even begin to imagine or comprehend how existentially terrifying that situation would have been, and then the claustrophobia inducing way they had to exit the submarine didn’t make matters any better. Nevertheless, that man selfishly lost control of himself and he cost his fellow sailors their lives. It’s sad but it also makes me kind of hate that guy, he was apparently way too neurotic to be a submariner
@@bradleythebuilder8743yea it made me feel somewhat guilty, but after that story ended I thought “fuck that guy” Those as I’m typing this I was thinking I wouldn’t be surprised if I did the same thing in that situation. I suck too I guess 😂
@@BleachCowboy2016 Look up "Escape Trunk" on wikipedia to read how this sort of hatch works. The pertinent part is that the person is just wearing an air hood (or a similar body suit version), they can't do much more than shoot to the surface under their own buoyancy. They can't come back. You would need a fully equipped diver with ballast to come back to close it.
His voice is much better than almost any other channel covering true stories of diving & caving. I feel like this "trend" of telling stories like this has made some bad copy channels.
Hey no big deal but just FYI, Luke didn't have his mouthpiece out of his mouth. Infact Luke didn't have a mouthpiece period. We as commercial divers generally don't work on SCUBA. Instead, we wear a helmet, attached to that helmet is a hose or "umbilical" which has our communication cables and is also supplied with air from the surface via a compressor or larger tanks. All that to say, you don't have a regulator that goes in your mouth . So what happened is that Luke's helmet was fractured or crushed thereby allowing water to flood it and he drowned. I believe he was wearing a Kirby Morgan 37 or 77 if you are interested in looking that up to see how they work and just in case you decide to tell more commercial diving stories. Again, super easy mistake to make if you aren't a commercial diver, so no judgment at all. I just thought it would be helpful info for you. Be well and best wishes my friend.
I love these videos so much, there able to scare me without using cheap jumpscares or loud boom noises after being quite. It just uses the atmosphere that he creates during the videos to make you scared or uneasy and its so surprising that this channel isnt getting millions of veiws
I knowww! I hate jumpscares! I think it's because they're like cheap you know. Anyone can do a jump scare but it takes real talent to build atmosphere and let the stories stand on their own. I also feel like it would be pretty disrespectful to the innocent victims if they were throwing jump scares in all the time! I actually stumbled across a true crime channel a couple weeks ago that used sound effect jump-scares. I was just beyond shocked at how they were treating the victims of a horrible crime as if they were entertainment.
@@local_authority true, but still i feel like this guys gonna blow up huge his videos just need to keep reaching the right people who like this type of content and keep watching
@@WhitneyDahlin i noticed that too with true crime youtubers, like theres this one girl dont wanna say names but she does true crime/makeup videos and people seem to love her yet me and other people have noticed her making or sliding joked into the video about the case to “lighten the atmosphere” and i think its soo disgusting because its not an atmosphere that needs to be lightened or joked about you know
I think the scariest part of diving and why I will never ever do it is the part where you have to very slowly go up and sit there and wait. Now imagine a person with thalassophobia is diving and they have to sit there and wait to go up, while their brain is making them think that something could come out of no where and drag them down to the bottom and kill them, or something like that. That’s actually terrifying, massive props to divers who dive willingly, you could never pay me enough.
If you haven't seen it already, I can recommend a documentary about a diving accident in the North Sea. It's called "Last Breath" and is about a diver who gets trapped alone on the bottom of the sea and the desperate attempt to rescue him from those in the boat above. It's been a few years since I saw it but I remember it being one of the most harrowing stories I've ever heard. I can't even fathom being all alone in absolute pitch-black sea. Perfect nightmare fuel, but a very well-made documentary.
Thanks I show up to my next submarine next week lol. The experience of being trained on how to escape a submarine is extremely stressful and sensory overload. In my opinion, It is no fault to the guy who panicked. A lot of people would, especially if they weren’t trained for it. Imagine trying to hang from a pull-up bar with one hand while the other hand is holding a 70lb dumbbell while you are in a wind tunnel and water is splashing everywhere and you have to blow through your nose with a clip on it to equalize pressure in your ears at the same time. Then while ascending you have to keep exhaling so your lungs don’t explode at the lower pressure. It is an insane experience. British submarines no longer have built in escape systems as far as I know because escape is only possible in 1% of all the oceans where the depth is shallow enough. I love your diving content, my coworkers think I’m crazy watching this before work lol. But I have learned a lot from these videos, thank you!
Big reason why I would never willingly put myself in a rescue situation is that I would probably get others killed by my incompetence. Good luck in your new adventure and may your luck always be good!
Hey best of luck on your sub trips, thanks for the info. I don't think a lot of folks realize how incredibly scary that stuff can be. It always seems a lot easier when you watch it in a movie lol
I've been a scuba diver since I was 14 yrs old. Now I'm 41 and I also had a scary episode when I was 15 yrs old. I love scuba diving, it's an expensive thing If you don't live by the coast or u don't have the equipment so I do it whenever I can, I've been very lucky so far, because you never know when things might take a turn. Like many ADHDers, I also focus better there, specially under life threatening situations such as these. I really thank u for these stories Sean, I've been binge watching them while I work, some ppl like crime or serial killer stories, but I'm a junkie for survival stories. I feel them like my own as I could have been there too. What humbles u the most is that sometimes, no matter how prepared u are, mother nature just changes everything and them boom, you're just trying your best to not die. I also love that u refer to all the safety measures that weren't addressed, technical stuff, ft and also mts, that helps a lot and makes the story more enjoyable and also, to learn from it if u do similar activities. To everyone that watches: despite of all these stories, I encourage u to safely scuba dive, hike, explore the planet. Life is short and for every casualty, there are many, many more wonderful experiences going on, doing the same. Besides, u can also choose never to go outside your house and some meteor or something might hit it with u in it. 🤣 So go on, explore this beautiful planet but always, always remember: safety first.
I’m a civil engineer who works primarily with open channel hydraulics. It’s really interesting to learn about dangers I don’t typically think about regarding maintenance etc.
Nova Scotian here. Always neat to hear stories from my neighbourhood :) Although every time I listen to your diving stories, I'm like "Yeah, no. No small chamber-high-pressure-oxygen-tank-dependent adventures for me, thanks. Ever."
yeah man these deep sea diving episodes are the most terrifying videos of this whole entire thing... i mean being in a cave or up a mountain is one thing but being stuck deep at the bottom of the ocean with nowhere to go knowing air supplies are running out at a rapid speed i cant imagine the dread and fear these people have to endure through their last moments.
Your videos are top notch. You are very well spoken. Of course your scripts are grade A, but your diction carrys them further. I appreciate the pace and pronunciation especially; I never have trouble understanding you. (Even if I did- you include subtitles as well!) Also like the ambient music. Its atmospheric without distracting. It doesn't impair your script audibility.
The mistake here was them going underwater under dressed on the assumption that it would only be a few minutes. Everyone should have been properly dressed, it would have given the other two more options when things went wrong.
I’m not sure how I stumbled across your channel, but I’m fascinated with each video; I learn so much about a world I had never given a second thought of before.
From Nova Scotia and grew up hearing Luke's story and others like his. Such a terrible tragedy. We got some super dangerous waters from the Bay of Fundy, to Peggy's Cove, to the cost of Sable Island.
The first few video this channel posted and I heard this music, still gives me chills to this day. The story telling with this music is just a master piece.
little do they know this IS my endel lol these videos can both put me to sleep and help me focus during certain household chores, it's an absolute joy to listen to I finally heard your Canadian accent this time btw, I love it!
As many others have said "I do love these videos/true stories" For me it's broad spectrum of places from regular Caves to those underwater, Oceans, Forrests, Jungles, Rivers in Afrika to South America to Australia, Ship Wreck Dives etc Also not having everyone dying is great, it does have to happen though so we appreciate what time we have
...I'm noticing a majority of these incidents, particularly in cave diving and oceanic diving, are caused by human error and carelessness. Skipping one safety step can cost someone their life, clearly.
Aside from the stories, what I love about your content is that I get to learn so much about the mechanics of things! The details you include are awesome!
One of my relations was supposed to be on the Thetis but fortunately missed a train back from shore leave and arrived too late. Further, the ship was being refitted prior to this incident and they got rid of an octagonal wooden clock that hung on a wall somewhere inside (probably in the canteen). The relation that missed the train wanted it before he went on leave so they let him have it. We still have it to this day.
I'm hundreds of miles from the nearest coast, and probably just as many from the nearest caving system. However, thanks to watching enough of your videos, I'm now too terrified to even leave the house. Keep up the good work! 👍
Yep. A whole life you could have lived, watching your children grow, all the moments you could have, all gone because of one person's carelessness. At least the story was able to be told, imagine all the countless death stories not told in disasters and wars.
I was amazed to hear that first story because it is in the small town where I live. I recall hearing that a diver had drowned under the tidal power plant but this was my first time hearing the full story.
You are the Endel for me, I listen to your videos for concentration or dopamine, your voice is soothing and when I hear videos that I already watched before they don't distract me from what I'm supposed to do. You are most of the time the reason that my house is clean😂
One thing you didn't mention about the HMS Thetis is that there is a thought that the Navy deliberately didn't conduct rescue operations as they should so the craft could be salvaged and reused (which it was - as the HMS Thunderbolt) Standard rescue practices would have meant cutting into the hull of the sub which they didn't do, instead leaving it intact to be salvaged and recommissioned under the name HMS Thunderbolt. It would seem that Neptune was determined to take the vessel however as it was sunk by depth charges in 1943 with the loss of all hands (at a depth where it could not be salvaged this time)
Anyone else have those "omg no THATS not gonna happen, is it?!" Moments when he's doing the intros like explaining what the divers were there to do on that day.
This video is my favorite by far. Your ability to build suspense while maintaining a super chill calmness is your voice is amazing. ❤keep up the great content.
21:32 “plagued by a mysterious tingling” yeah, that’s severe decompression sickness. I had it mildly once when I was a teenager (in Hawaii, my parents booked a bus tour the day after diving because everything online about the tour seemed to indicate that it was along the coast - yeah, it went up a mountain or volcano or something at some point, but I don’t remember exactly bc that was 15 years ago). Joint pain and skin tingles. Not fun, although going to a Hawaiian ER at, like, 10pm is a fun story to tell as an adult lol.
the last one was impossibly frustrating. how the marines manage to get a line thats too short, and end up further on 2nd go, then fail with a dive bell. what a calamity of errors, like they were trying to go for some perfect play but instead just dropped the ball and started stumbling over it constantly
I think there's things like them not being able to see into the water, not having the computing equipment we have now, the current moving them, etc....Basically a lot of factors that complicate these rescues on the sea floor that make it really difficult to get to people in these situations. I've watched a lot of these and missing the mark seems to be a recurring theme and it's why I will never go diving or cave diving. It's basically an alien world that we are not prepared for.
@@AyeliaGDoren understandable. It is a very hostile environment no doubt. Just seems like they would know this being dive experts. Seems like as the dive attempts failed and the victims air supply became more dire, maybe call in the big guns a bit sooner. Obviously a calamity of things contributed to it, just unfortunate. Imagining them waiting for help while everything being tried above is being fumbled until they finally call a minisub after it was too late.
When I went through dive school one of my instructors told me a story of when they lost someone on the job. A fella named Kevin (can't remember if that was his name) was buried alive underwater. Everytime he inhaled the mud would fill the empty space so he couldn't exhale until he finally died. Scary way to go.
That last story... jeeze... imagine the guilt the pilot of the submersible lives it... being he was who got it wrapped in the cables in the first place.
The second story about HMS Thetis was recommissioned as HMS Thunderbolt, which was sunk near Sicily in 1943...what was it like take out those bodies? Did the crew feel 'weird' being in a sub that killed so many of their comrades?
I think Thalassaphobia might be my favorite word. It really decribes the terror of the sea just by the way it sounds! And p.s Sean some knock-off channel pinched your soundtrack!
Yes 🙌🏼 my day always gets better when u post new videos! Lots of other channels do the same as u but I can say IMO hands down ur channel is thee best!! 💙💜
"And if you happen to be on a submarine, right now, you might want to skip this one." I happened to watch this the EXACT day that sub was confirmed destroyed so some irony there.
Bravo👏👏…I sat thru all the stories practically on the edge of my seat trying to control my claustrophobia but not doing that well, so I couldn’t breathe fully( not joking) going WHAT! over and over esp the last story..Johnson SeaLink …oh hella naw🙀then the fellows are pronounced dead and your melodious voice says it’s the end and you hope we all enjoyed it and leave a comment if we’d like 🫶🏻❤🫶🏻 loved it although my blood pressure seems to be higher now😂
I think I found you a while back and subscribed intending to watch at another time and I guess that time came yesterday. I just finished watching all your episode over 2 days and now I simply cant wait for more. Loooooove your content! Horrible fates are my favorite. It sounds a bit strange saying that videos about other peoples disasters to be my favorite but you know what I mean. XD Its all so interesting! Keep em coming! I will keep watching for sure!
The first time I found your channel, I watched every video in one setting. Once I had finished watching every single one, I began experiencing withdrawal and attempted to find a channel similar to give me a fix. While I may have found some decent channels (most true crime), your channel is unique.
@Scary_Interesting.. I see you blocked me on Telegram after putting you on blast. Your scam is lame, bro. Pretty obvious you're from a 3rd World country where people would actually be so hungry, they'd fall for that lame crap lol!
I just love your videos. They're very interesting and educational and your narration is perfect. I just feel so terrible for so many dying in such horrific ways.
I wish this was much longer haha, I know it’s a lot of work, I just love this shit. Ima smoke and eat cookies & milk while you whisper sweet terror into my ears. 😊
I get anxiety just hearing about having to escape one by one through the emergency hatch. If they each had a small emergency airtank , about the size of a one liter bottle, with a few minutes of air, that would make escape odds so much better, especially if a whole section or the entirety of the sub/sea vehicle, needs flooding before any escape can be made.
really great video! diving in the deep sea is so full of dangers, i'm actually surprised to see that a Lot of the deaths i've learned about all stem from human errors or negligence. rest in peace to the victims and my condolences for the families they left behind. one thing i'd like to give feedback on, is how i think you speak a bit too fast for me to catch, even with subs on. i had to set the playback speed to 0.75x
18:15 judging by your description of what happened the pressure was not rising inexplicably, they were releasing high pressure gas from tanks into a confined space in order to breathe...the pressure was coming from the tanks
So they were able to lower a fish trap down to the bottom without the submarine, but then needed a submarine to raise it back up? OK, I read the Coast Guard accident report, the sub apparently placed the trap to begin with and was retrieving it when the accident happened.
The last story is so frustrating. If you have risks in your job, do not take them lightly. Your life is finite, you are going to die, do not take stupid risks. I feel for their families.
Served 7 years in the Submarine Service. My last year in the USN my wife said that I had been underwater for 300 days. Actually it was a piece of cake. One time we were on whats called a "Kiddy Cruse." That is, when we brought dependents on board for about 1/2 day. I happened to be standing next to the maneuvering room when a man and women asked me when were going to dive. The look on their faces was classic when I informed them the we had been submerged for more than 30 minutes!

The problem is, as with any inherently risky activity, there are incidents all of the time and most don't rise to the level of emergency response required. If everything is urgent, nothing is.
Perhaps there should be distinction made between an emergency and a submergency, considering the environmental peculiarities unique to each situation.
They need to hire you bro
it’s so scary to read this comment after what just happened
That last story is especially brutal. Being trapped waiting on rescue while absolutely freezing is an awful way to go.
Slowly suffocating as well.

Which would you choose?
Awful but cool

The levels of incompetence and negligence portrayed in these stories are mind boggling.
Yeah, that seems to be the thread in all of these stories.
It's a crazy dangerous job. one missed step and everyone around you can die.
There’s a special place in hell for that guy who didn’t close the door behind him.

@@matthewmckee3282 right, and only as long as it's crystal clear 🤣

This was 1939 and war with Germany looked (and was) inevitable and the Admiralty was more interested in preserving the ship rather than saving the crew. A submarine with a cut hull would have been structurally compromised even after repairs, but if it sank *without* being cut into, then it could be salvaged and put back into service, which is what happened in the end.
HMS Thetis was salvage and recommissioned HMS Thunderbolt, the are two memorial plagues one at Holyhead, Anglesey and the other at Woodside, Birkenhead
Sad but not entirely shocking. 😟
The last story is so frustrating cause of how much incompetence and just lack of urgency and preparedness there was. It sounded like all the rescue divers and ships were given barely any information of the severity of the situation or what exactly what going on. Sounded like all they were told was “ we have some workers stuck somewhere near a sunken ship and I think they’re fine so don’t worry or rush yourselves”
Well, I mean even the trapped workers presented it that way.
@@AyeliaGDoren at first they did but they quickly changed it. Even so any rescue mission shouldn’t be taken as a “take your time” operation especially ones at sea
"Hey, you're going to go underwater in a piece of machinery. Do you wanna wear a wet suit or anything?"
"Nah, it'll be fine. We'll be there for 30 minutes - what could possibly go wrong?"
As my daddy told me time and time again: Plan for things to go wrong, not for things to go right.
Hope for the best, BUT ALWAYS prepare for the worst... You'll rarely be disappointed. ;o)
Every time I start to leave the house under dressed during the winter because I'll be in a car I have this exact conversation with myself and I'm always go get a proper coat.
@@AyeliaGDoren I've got a blanket stashed in the car. Have been very glad to have it on several occasions.

A cautionary tale about following safety procedures
That submarine story is exactly why you celebrate AFTER you complete your voyages, not before.
But if I die, I didn't get to enjoy a celebration then before I went out.
Military experience taught me that life is uncertain at the best of times... SO I eat dessert FIRST!!! ;o)
Or you just don't get on a submarine with an xbox controller.
That one guy messed it up for everyone anyways. It’s kinda nice they got one last moment to enjoy.
You really thought you did something here huh? @@kryler8252
I feel so bad for all those people stuck in the submarine waiting to essentially run out of air and die all because that one guy panicked, and in his panic opened the hatch early causing everyone to die and have no chance or hope of survival. I can't even imagine being in that situation it's so horrific, I'm afraid of deep waters like the ocean as is so yeah shits terrifying.
That was my thought listening to that story about the British submarine. I can not even begin to imagine or comprehend how existentially terrifying that situation would have been, and then the claustrophobia inducing way they had to exit the submarine didn’t make matters any better. Nevertheless, that man selfishly lost control of himself and he cost his fellow sailors their lives. It’s sad but it also makes me kind of hate that guy, he was apparently way too neurotic to be a submariner
I wonder if one of the people who had escaped could have gone back down to close the outer hatch again.
@@bradleythebuilder8743yea it made me feel somewhat guilty, but after that story ended I thought “fuck that guy”
Those as I’m typing this I was thinking I wouldn’t be surprised if I did the same thing in that situation. I suck too I guess 😂
@@BleachCowboy2016 Look up "Escape Trunk" on wikipedia to read how this sort of hatch works. The pertinent part is that the person is just wearing an air hood (or a similar body suit version), they can't do much more than shoot to the surface under their own buoyancy. They can't come back. You would need a fully equipped diver with ballast to come back to close it.
@@brookbelly Nah don't feel bad. That guy totally blew it by being one of the _first_ people to attempt to escape instead of one of the last.
I've said it before, this channel is the best in the "scary true story" genre on TH-cam. Great storytelling, and not just reading Wikipedia to us!
And the music is just perfect for setting the tone…👏🏽
His voice is much better than almost any other channel covering true stories of diving & caving. I feel like this "trend" of telling stories like this has made some bad copy channels.
Someone hasn't seen MrBallen 😆
Mr Ballen got big then started retelling generic stories everybody's already covered. He sux now.
@@ArtisticlyAlexis Agreed 100%. The voice is perfect.
NEVER change the music you use for these videos. This song is absolutely chilling.
It was the free option without copyright

Sounds like the bumping of long hollow tubes underwater. Spooky!
🎶 ding ding ding ding ding…. Do do do do do 🎶
Hey no big deal but just FYI, Luke didn't have his mouthpiece out of his mouth. Infact Luke didn't have a mouthpiece period. We as commercial divers generally don't work on SCUBA. Instead, we wear a helmet, attached to that helmet is a hose or "umbilical" which has our communication cables and is also supplied with air from the surface via a compressor or larger tanks. All that to say, you don't have a regulator that goes in your mouth . So what happened is that Luke's helmet was fractured or crushed thereby allowing water to flood it and he drowned. I believe he was wearing a Kirby Morgan 37 or 77 if you are interested in looking that up to see how they work and just in case you decide to tell more commercial diving stories. Again, super easy mistake to make if you aren't a commercial diver, so no judgment at all. I just thought it would be helpful info for you. Be well and best wishes my friend.
He described the umbilical and helmet in the beginning in detail. Did you not watch the whole video?
@@jamesevans2507 bit late 🤣
@@jolewisskates4173 kek
Very informative... thank you.
Its never to late @@jolewisskates4173
I love these videos so much, there able to scare me without using cheap jumpscares or loud boom noises after being quite. It just uses the atmosphere that he creates during the videos to make you scared or uneasy and its so surprising that this channel isnt getting millions of veiws
I knowww! I hate jumpscares! I think it's because they're like cheap you know. Anyone can do a jump scare but it takes real talent to build atmosphere and let the stories stand on their own. I also feel like it would be pretty disrespectful to the innocent victims if they were throwing jump scares in all the time! I actually stumbled across a true crime channel a couple weeks ago that used sound effect jump-scares. I was just beyond shocked at how they were treating the victims of a horrible crime as if they were entertainment.
Because he doesn't pay for bottled views/ subs pretty easy to figure out, also people are on amass exodus from this shitty app
@@local_authority true, but still i feel like this guys gonna blow up huge his videos just need to keep reaching the right people who like this type of content and keep watching
@@WhitneyDahlin i noticed that too with true crime youtubers, like theres this one girl dont wanna say names but she does true crime/makeup videos and people seem to love her yet me and other people have noticed her making or sliding joked into the video about the case to “lighten the atmosphere” and i think its soo disgusting because its not an atmosphere that needs to be lightened or joked about you know
Yeah his videos are way more interesting than any scary movies
I think the scariest part of diving and why I will never ever do it is the part where you have to very slowly go up and sit there and wait. Now imagine a person with thalassophobia is diving and they have to sit there and wait to go up, while their brain is making them think that something could come out of no where and drag them down to the bottom and kill them, or something like that. That’s actually terrifying, massive props to divers who dive willingly, you could never pay me enough.
Well that’s only if your diving deep enough to be effected by the bends
@@Jack-nr1nn true
I don't think someone with a crippling feat of water would go diving lol
But .. that's what CAN happen though?
@@leelooweewoo my grandpa has one and he went diving with my grandma
If you haven't seen it already, I can recommend a documentary about a diving accident in the North Sea. It's called "Last Breath" and is about a diver who gets trapped alone on the bottom of the sea and the desperate attempt to rescue him from those in the boat above. It's been a few years since I saw it but I remember it being one of the most harrowing stories I've ever heard. I can't even fathom being all alone in absolute pitch-black sea. Perfect nightmare fuel, but a very well-made documentary.
Thank you for the suggestion
Thank you for the suggestion watching it now
one scene stuck with me from that movie.. where it shows a glimpse of the diver just laying on the bottom
Sounds like a great one to watch! Thanks for sharing your suggestion 😊
Unfortunately, that's on Netflix and I don't have the strength to support a company that sexualizes children. This one's a hard pass.
Thanks I show up to my next submarine next week lol. The experience of being trained on how to escape a submarine is extremely stressful and sensory overload. In my opinion, It is no fault to the guy who panicked. A lot of people would, especially if they weren’t trained for it.
Imagine trying to hang from a pull-up bar with one hand while the other hand is holding a 70lb dumbbell while you are in a wind tunnel and water is splashing everywhere and you have to blow through your nose with a clip on it to equalize pressure in your ears at the same time. Then while ascending you have to keep exhaling so your lungs don’t explode at the lower pressure. It is an insane experience.
British submarines no longer have built in escape systems as far as I know because escape is only possible in 1% of all the oceans where the depth is shallow enough.
I love your diving content, my coworkers think I’m crazy watching this before work lol. But I have learned a lot from these videos, thank you!
Big reason why I would never willingly put myself in a rescue situation is that I would probably get others killed by my incompetence. Good luck in your new adventure and may your luck always be good!
Hey best of luck on your sub trips, thanks for the info. I don't think a lot of folks realize how incredibly scary that stuff can be. It always seems a lot easier when you watch it in a movie lol
How did it go?
I've been a scuba diver since I was 14 yrs old. Now I'm 41 and I also had a scary episode when I was 15 yrs old. I love scuba diving, it's an expensive thing If you don't live by the coast or u don't have the equipment so I do it whenever I can, I've been very lucky so far, because you never know when things might take a turn. Like many ADHDers, I also focus better there, specially under life threatening situations such as these.
I really thank u for these stories Sean, I've been binge watching them while I work, some ppl like crime or serial killer stories, but I'm a junkie for survival stories. I feel them like my own as I could have been there too.
What humbles u the most is that sometimes, no matter how prepared u are, mother nature just changes everything and them boom, you're just trying your best to not die.
I also love that u refer to all the safety measures that weren't addressed, technical stuff, ft and also mts, that helps a lot and makes the story more enjoyable and also, to learn from it if u do similar activities.
To everyone that watches: despite of all these stories, I encourage u to safely scuba dive, hike, explore the planet. Life is short and for every casualty, there are many, many more wonderful experiences going on, doing the same. Besides, u can also choose never to go outside your house and some meteor or something might hit it with u in it. 🤣
So go on, explore this beautiful planet but always, always remember: safety first.
My sentiments exactly (minus being a diver) . Ttfs
I’m a civil engineer who works primarily with open channel hydraulics. It’s really interesting to learn about dangers I don’t typically think about regarding maintenance etc.
Nova Scotian here. Always neat to hear stories from my neighbourhood :) Although every time I listen to your diving stories, I'm like "Yeah, no. No small chamber-high-pressure-oxygen-tank-dependent adventures for me, thanks. Ever."
yeah man these deep sea diving episodes are the most terrifying videos of this whole entire thing... i mean being in a cave or up a mountain is one thing but being stuck deep at the bottom of the ocean with nowhere to go knowing air supplies are running out at a rapid speed i cant imagine the dread and fear these people have to endure through their last moments.
Your videos are top notch. You are very well spoken. Of course your scripts are grade A, but your diction carrys them further. I appreciate the pace and pronunciation especially; I never have trouble understanding you. (Even if I did- you include subtitles as well!) Also like the ambient music. Its atmospheric without distracting. It doesn't impair your script audibility.
Hey Brian! This is a really nice comment. I can't thank you enough. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel!
You are amazing at what you do. I always enjoy your work.
Glad you're enjoying the content!
All diving missions should have an adequate rescue team available. That last story... so many people involved
Noble idea, but logistically infeasible
The mistake here was them going underwater under dressed on the assumption that it would only be a few minutes. Everyone should have been properly dressed, it would have given the other two more options when things went wrong.
@@AyeliaGDoren their clothes was not the reason they died it was carbon monoxide poisoning they just simply did not have enough air to use
The uselessness of the rescue teams in most of these stories makes me think that wouldn’t be of much value
@@ctrlaltcreate3827 Calling them “Body Recovery Teams” would be more accurate, really.
I’m not sure how I stumbled across your channel, but I’m fascinated with each video; I learn so much about a world I had never given a second thought of before.
From Nova Scotia and grew up hearing Luke's story and others like his. Such a terrible tragedy.
We got some super dangerous waters from the Bay of Fundy, to Peggy's Cove, to the cost of Sable Island.
The first few video this channel posted and I heard this music, still gives me chills to this day. The story telling with this music is just a master piece.
little do they know this IS my endel lol
these videos can both put me to sleep and help me focus during certain household chores, it's an absolute joy to listen to
I finally heard your Canadian accent this time btw, I love it!
As many others have said "I do love these videos/true stories" For me it's broad spectrum of places from regular Caves to those underwater, Oceans, Forrests, Jungles, Rivers in Afrika to South America to Australia, Ship Wreck Dives etc Also not having everyone dying is great, it does have to happen though so we appreciate what time we have
...I'm noticing a majority of these incidents, particularly in cave diving and oceanic diving, are caused by human error and carelessness. Skipping one safety step can cost someone their life, clearly.
Aside from the stories, what I love about your content is that I get to learn so much about the mechanics of things! The details you include are awesome!
This TH-cam channel is so interesting it’s scary
😁
Nice😋
Truuuee
But it's scary too right? How very interesting...🤔 💗
One of my relations was supposed to be on the Thetis but fortunately missed a train back from shore leave and arrived too late. Further, the ship was being refitted prior to this incident and they got rid of an octagonal wooden clock that hung on a wall somewhere inside (probably in the canteen). The relation that missed the train wanted it before he went on leave so they let him have it. We still have it to this day.
Okay Atrocious liar
Because of your username I’m struggling to trust you
Same, Rachel.
"If you happen to be on a submarine right now" then you haven't been watching Scary Interesting nearly enough
I'm hundreds of miles from the nearest coast, and probably just as many from the nearest caving system. However, thanks to watching enough of your videos, I'm now too terrified to even leave the house. Keep up the good work! 👍
I wonder if the Lord will ever call you to do something for His will 🤔
@@email6743 if it's caving, diving, or cave diving, fuck that.
😅😆
Imagine how pissed youd be at the guy that that panicked and trapped the others inside. His panic sealed all of their fates
Yep. A whole life you could have lived, watching your children grow, all the moments you could have, all gone because of one person's carelessness. At least the story was able to be told, imagine all the countless death stories not told in disasters and wars.
What a horrific way to die. It's absolutely awful. Rest in peace to all who perished in the sea. Thank you for the video SI.👍
There is no rest in peace without Jesus Christ
New content on a snowy Saturday, is a beautiful thing. Thank you, brother. Keep up the fine work.
Brother?
I love this channel, it's basically the best example of this type of content, I could happily watch these forever
Oh my Lord, these cases are truly horrific. I am terrified of the ocean and hearing things like this has to be most people’s worst nightmares.💛💛💛
Aww man. You tend to mix in the occasional survival story as well so that last one had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
All it takes is a split second decision that make it or break for you. I can only imagine the terror all those men went through. RIP.
I was amazed to hear that first story because it is in the small town where I live. I recall hearing that a diver had drowned under the tidal power plant but this was my first time hearing the full story.
Man i subbed to you back when you were quite new and had a much different format. You've done such a great job. Loving the content!
You are the Endel for me, I listen to your videos for concentration or dopamine, your voice is soothing and when I hear videos that I already watched before they don't distract me from what I'm supposed to do. You are most of the time the reason that my house is clean😂
Great immersive videos! Keep them up please! 👏
submersive, too!
I agree!
I agree too 👆
One thing you didn't mention about the HMS Thetis is that there is a thought that the Navy deliberately didn't conduct rescue operations as they should so the craft could be salvaged and reused (which it was - as the HMS Thunderbolt)
Standard rescue practices would have meant cutting into the hull of the sub which they didn't do, instead leaving it intact to be salvaged and recommissioned under the name HMS Thunderbolt.
It would seem that Neptune was determined to take the vessel however as it was sunk by depth charges in 1943 with the loss of all hands (at a depth where it could not be salvaged this time)
Anyone else have those "omg no THATS not gonna happen, is it?!" Moments when he's doing the intros like explaining what the divers were there to do on that day.
This video is my favorite by far. Your ability to build suspense while maintaining a super chill calmness is your voice is amazing. ❤keep up the great content.
did the 4 people escaping through the emergency hatch (in the submarine-stuck-at-seafloor-story) survive those 13 hours until the rescue ship arrived?
21:32 “plagued by a mysterious tingling” yeah, that’s severe decompression sickness. I had it mildly once when I was a teenager (in Hawaii, my parents booked a bus tour the day after diving because everything online about the tour seemed to indicate that it was along the coast - yeah, it went up a mountain or volcano or something at some point, but I don’t remember exactly bc that was 15 years ago). Joint pain and skin tingles. Not fun, although going to a Hawaiian ER at, like, 10pm is a fun story to tell as an adult lol.
the last one was impossibly frustrating. how the marines manage to get a line thats too short, and end up further on 2nd go, then fail with a dive bell. what a calamity of errors, like they were trying to go for some perfect play but instead just dropped the ball and started stumbling over it constantly
I think there's things like them not being able to see into the water, not having the computing equipment we have now, the current moving them, etc....Basically a lot of factors that complicate these rescues on the sea floor that make it really difficult to get to people in these situations. I've watched a lot of these and missing the mark seems to be a recurring theme and it's why I will never go diving or cave diving.
It's basically an alien world that we are not prepared for.
@@AyeliaGDoren understandable. It is a very hostile environment no doubt. Just seems like they would know this being dive experts. Seems like as the dive attempts failed and the victims air supply became more dire, maybe call in the big guns a bit sooner. Obviously a calamity of things contributed to it, just unfortunate. Imagining them waiting for help while everything being tried above is being fumbled until they finally call a minisub after it was too late.
That story actually got me so mad. There's 0 sense of urgency
There are no videos I've watched on yt that make me in my bed feel more anxious or claustrophobic than yours. Kudos
The music is always perfect with these super claustrophobic ones
Its sad most of these kinds of stories end in death, especially when it seems like there was so much hope and effort for the rescue
When I went through dive school one of my instructors told me a story of when they lost someone on the job. A fella named Kevin (can't remember if that was his name) was buried alive underwater. Everytime he inhaled the mud would fill the empty space so he couldn't exhale until he finally died. Scary way to go.
Your narrating is the best! I found your channel couple weeks ago and I must have already binged all your uploads lol. Keep them coming 💯💯💯
That last story... jeeze... imagine the guilt the pilot of the submersible lives it... being he was who got it wrapped in the cables in the first place.
the last rescue attempt is unbelievable- just so much Incompetence and improper information what a nightmare
The second story about HMS Thetis was recommissioned as HMS Thunderbolt, which was sunk near Sicily in 1943...what was it like take out those bodies? Did the crew feel 'weird' being in a sub that killed so many of their comrades?
Hands-down, my favorite scuba diving stories channel!
I think Thalassaphobia might be my favorite word. It really decribes the terror of the sea just by the way it sounds! And p.s Sean some knock-off channel pinched your soundtrack!
What channel? Let’s go call them out!
DOGPILE
Defend the Sean
Definitely agree on Thalassophobia! As far as the background track, it's a free to use song on the TH-cam audio library for everyone to use!
I noticed that too! There's one channel in particular I had in mind and does stories and topics EXACTLY like this.
"Nope, not in a submarine atm...."
Continue, Good Sir....
Awesome another great way to start the Saturday, hope you have a good day Shaun/Shawn/Sean
Yes 🙌🏼 my day always gets better when u post new videos! Lots of other channels do the same as u but I can say IMO hands down ur channel is thee best!! 💙💜
Ahh the rare instances where my job kills. Been sat diving for 9 years, deepest I've been is 791ft off the coast of California. Thanks shell!
"And if you happen to be on a submarine, right now, you might want to skip this one." I happened to watch this the EXACT day that sub was confirmed destroyed so some irony there.
Yeah, I decided to rewatch this one today. It definitely hit different.
Bravo👏👏…I sat thru all the stories practically on the edge of my seat trying to control my claustrophobia but not doing that well, so I couldn’t breathe fully( not joking) going WHAT! over and over esp the last story..Johnson SeaLink …oh hella naw🙀then the fellows are pronounced dead and your melodious voice says it’s the end and you hope we all enjoyed it and leave a comment if we’d like
🫶🏻❤🫶🏻 loved it although my blood pressure seems to be higher now😂
love your diving content!
I live 20 minutes from the Annapolis Royal power dam in the first story. I never knew the full story.
Very interesting to hear.
I think I found you a while back and subscribed intending to watch at another time and I guess that time came yesterday. I just finished watching all your episode over 2 days and now I simply cant wait for more. Loooooove your content! Horrible fates are my favorite. It sounds a bit strange saying that videos about other peoples disasters to be my favorite but you know what I mean. XD Its all so interesting! Keep em coming! I will keep watching for sure!
The way these videos are always perfect 🥹
The first time I found your channel, I watched every video in one setting. Once I had finished watching every single one, I began experiencing withdrawal and attempted to find a channel similar to give me a fix. While I may have found some decent channels (most true crime), your channel is unique.
@Scary_Interesting.. I see you blocked me on Telegram after putting you on blast. Your scam is lame, bro. Pretty obvious you're from a 3rd World country where people would actually be so hungry, they'd fall for that lame crap lol!
I recommend watching the Delta P training video for those that are curious (they also show the famous crab being sucked into a pipe video)
I get so excited when you upload new videos!!! Unreal channel and best audio/visuals on this subject matter imo. Thank you🎉🙏🔥
I subbed at 87k subs, awesome to see how you've grown Sean! 500k coming soon. 🙌
I love that the Endel logo is a diving cookie (or looks like one). Perfect sponsor for this channel.
I recently discovered this amazing channel and wanted to sincerely thank you for a truly fascinating and outstanding horror experience.
I just love your videos. They're very interesting and educational and your narration is perfect. I just feel so terrible for so many dying in such horrific ways.
I wish this was much longer haha, I know it’s a lot of work, I just love this shit. Ima smoke and eat cookies & milk while you whisper sweet terror into my ears. 😊
!!!!!!!!!!!!! literally my weekend routine
I can't imagine what the rescuers thought when they saw the survivors conversing and not replying.
I couldn't imagine being underwater freezing in a sub of sorts knowing if rescue doesn't hurry ur all gonna die just horrific af
“If for some reason you happen to be in a submarine” hits kinda different now 💀
Why do I find these videos so strangely comforting???
I get anxiety just hearing about having to escape one by one through the emergency hatch. If they each had a small emergency airtank , about the size of a one liter bottle, with a few minutes of air, that would make escape odds so much better, especially if a whole section or the entirety of the sub/sea vehicle, needs flooding before any escape can be made.
You dont have the money or place to store for such many men " little emergeny air tanks "
really great video! diving in the deep sea is so full of dangers, i'm actually surprised to see that a Lot of the deaths i've learned about all stem from human errors or negligence. rest in peace to the victims and my condolences for the families they left behind. one thing i'd like to give feedback on, is how i think you speak a bit too fast for me to catch, even with subs on. i had to set the playback speed to 0.75x
18:15 judging by your description of what happened the pressure was not rising inexplicably, they were releasing high pressure gas from tanks into a confined space in order to breathe...the pressure was coming from the tanks
So they were able to lower a fish trap down to the bottom without the submarine, but then needed a submarine to raise it back up? OK, I read the Coast Guard accident report, the sub apparently placed the trap to begin with and was retrieving it when the accident happened.
Good timing!!! Something to listen to whilst doing dishes!!
The last story is so frustrating. If you have risks in your job, do not take them lightly. Your life is finite, you are going to die, do not take stupid risks. I feel for their families.
You're so good at doing this, I hope you keep doing it for a good while ❤
The music is perfect; it really sets the scene.
Another stellar telling of tragic tales! And, thanks for reminding me to never sail in a submarine.
Submarines can't sail
@@email6743 lol Right!
Served 7 years in the Submarine Service. My last year in the USN my wife said that I had been underwater for 300 days. Actually it was a piece of cake. One time we were on whats called a "Kiddy Cruse." That is, when we brought dependents on board for about 1/2 day. I happened to be standing next to the maneuvering room when a man and women asked me when were going to dive. The look on their faces was classic when I informed them the we had been submerged for more than 30 minutes!
well, you got a new story to add to these videos
Finally, a new episode, because I binged all of your videos.
The irony of watching this after the Titanic sub disaster.
The guys on the military submarine knew they were screwed. Only a handful of guys could reliably perform that task.
