When I was in the Navy there was a saying " rules are written in blood". Just like Woody said they try to learn as much as possible from any kind of accident not just diving. Knowledge isn't free.
I don't recall that saying while in the Navy, but then again I was one of those dip shits doing the SUPER Man out the back of a MH53 lol. (lost my AC Wings bc of that)
So people don't have to google... you hang behind the aircraft with a safety belt attached and let the "wind" turn you into superman.
I got out as an ET2 and the only sayings I remember are "The beatings will continue until morale improves" and "If you got time to lean, you got time to clean"
@@mr.slendy I left as an AMS2 and we would also say "don't fly if the jet ISN'T leaking". If it wasn't dripping oil and hyd fluid all over the deck the reservoirs were empty!!
Well it’s not a Navy saying, but rather, one in safety engineering in general!
My husband, (RIP), was a Bell Sat diver until 1995, after he retired from military, Army, Ranger. This is one of the first studies they had at Dive Welding School, sort of a, “this is your fate, if mistakes are made”. He said some students didn’t return to the program after its presentation.
Wow, the things he must have seen in the water, my imagination is going now
@@ladiecawthon7396 For over 2 decades, he traveled the world working on both industry and military projects, some secretive. He always had the most awe inspiring stories. One was about a fish that swam near him, (while welding in a nuclear plant cooling pond), eyes as big as a VW car headlights. Lots of strange creature stories, both in fresh water and offshore.
@@snowcreek7156 Now my mind is going mach 10. If you don't mind sharing further: What other things did he 👀?
@@nationalsocialist5526 ahhhh your killing me!!!! Come on spill mate!!!!!
@@user-rx2uz4kq9xI'm definitely with @Allegegly 😁 Let's do this! We can take it.
4:33 woody I’m a underwater welder / sat diver and your right it is extremely dangerous. Hell if you get to close to the ark you get electrocuted it happens all the time. I’m sending you guys one of my spare helmets that is no longer operational so y’all can see what a 7k diving helmet looks like and what all it does. But I’ll send some footage to y’all as well from diving in the gulf for transocean about 9 years ago of some pretty wild shit. But love the channel and hope y’all stay safe.
Did u send them that ?
Did you send it
You stay safe bro!!
Can you upload some stuff on your TH-cam? Might take them a while to get the helmet.
You should upload some of your favorite/sketchy moments of underwater welding on your channel.
My brother in law was an underwater welder and sat diver for Nasa in the Bahamas.. He made bank but it was super dangerous. Every time he left for work. He made sure his will was up to date and we had a big dinner with the parents. He said once that if the bell ever malfunctioned underwater he could die multiple times a second. That's how fast it would happen
He ended up quitting after his wife got pregnant. Now he works as a recovery diver/ firefighter.

The Byford Dolphin used an obsolete system that did not include fail-safe hatches, pressure gauges OR the locking mechanism that would keep the trunk from being opened while under pressure. One month after the accident they made those a rule for all diving bells.
Off-shore oil rigs are the most dangerous and worst to work for. I have heard stories of companies choosing to leave divers to die if they end up stuck at the sea bed.
@@NoName-dd5vq where did you hear those stories csn one read up on it ?
@@NoName-dd5vq a friend of mine is a sat diver at an oil rig at the Northern Sea and I can tell you there's no money in the world that could make me wanting to do that job. There's a reason they earn around $600-1000/hour. Even if it has big risks today its nothing like it's used to be and today you have a lot of safety protocols if something happens. They won't just leave you on the sea bed to die. Look up the documentary Last Breath if you want to see how a rescue mission is done when something happens. It's really good and nerve wrecking.
Somebody always has to die first!
Rules are written in blood. That is just how companies operate. Especially in the oilfield. But I see it everywhere anymore. Especially the bigger companies.
Holy hell. You can know the physics involved but to hear this story is incredible. Respect to these divers who do this for a living
I know a couple…they’re pretty well off from the money they DESERVE…madmen imo🤷♂️
i am divemaster certified and also commercial diver certified and wanna get deco procedures and full cave certified but honestly, when i hear them glorified tech divers brag i just cringe...
$1,400 per day???? To me, it still isn't worth it. Ridiculously dangerous job n imperfect people. What do u expect? God Bless them all... R.I.P. gentlemen
I knew a guy who did underwater diving back in the 80s for approximately six years, he ended up getting a brain tumor at the age of 27, it was most likely caused by his deep saturation diving. Although he died at the age of 29 and a multi multi millionaire. He told me it wasn’t worth it right before he drew his last breath‘s. And the craziest part about it all was, his wife divorced him three months before his death, then when she brought in the documents for him to sign she brought her new boy toy with her.
Terrible
I have a degree in forensic anthropology, I went to school to study sometimes gruesome and brutal deaths, and I think you did the 100% right thing not including any photos. It's not only safer for your viewers but it's also more respectful to the decedents. They're out there, people can go look for them, but it's kinder to them and their families to not flash them around. I seriously respect the way you two talk about diving deaths. Super respectful and educational. These are absolutely fascinating accidents to learn about but you never forget that people died for these stories to be told.
As the daughter of a criminalist who saw too much while young, I 100% agree with you. Thank you more letting others know that respect should be given.
I retired from the navy after 26 years of service as a Navy Diver. I would love to join you guys for a video discussing Navy Divers and the process of becoming one and what to expect through the career as a Navy Diver.
Carl Brasher was the GOAT!
Thank you for your service. My husband was a Navy SEAL. The stories that he has told me are absolutely astonishing. And that's not even all of it. Some things he still doesn't talk about.
Great topic.
It would be really cool to see interviews from long time retired divers.
😂
Woody is such a teacher. His main reaction is to compliment the clarity of another's education effort or offer constructive criticism of unclear explanations. And these remarks are educational themselves.
Woody cracks me up. He's intelligent in a weird way.
I ALREADY WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO OF THE CHANNEL YOU STOLE THIS FROM....YOU EVEN STOLE HIS PINNED PICTURE - DUDES.....SO BAD FOR YOU, SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!
For me the word gruesome never sits right with these types of deaths. Yes the manner in which their bodies were destroyed was violet, but arguably they passed not even knowing they were going to die and most likely with too little time to feel any sort of pain. A gruesome death for me is someone trapped in a cave that’s slowly flooding or pinned by a large object, something that takes a long time and has the person fully aware. I am glad these people didn’t suffer, may they Rest In Peace
Pretty much true, my uncle once fell in a lake as a young lad(not diving) said what felt like 10 minutes was torture until there was a moment on peace and he said everything was calm and his mind just accepted his date and he eventually passed out, Fortunately a dog Walker had seen him go under and managed to pull him out
@@DizziChops 10 mins of torture can feel like an eternity.
"Gruesome" has to do with how disgusting and gory the event is rather than how painful.
@@DizziChops Yeah, our brain floods itself with seratonin before we die. Hence the happy/peaceful feeling. Also, the "white tunnel" effect is shown to be our vision receding into a pinprick. It's all a physical reaction.
A grisly autopsy.
💐💐💐💐💐💐RIP to the British divers, Edwin Arthur Coward (aged 35) and Roy Lucas (aged 38), Norwegian divers, Bjorn Bergersen (aged 29) and Truls Hellevik (aged 34), and Operators William Crammond (aged 32) you will truly all be missed and my prayers go out to you all and your families. The sole survivor was Martin Saunders who was left with devastating injuries.💐💐💐💐💐💐
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Byford Dolphin accident is one of the things I couldn’t comprehend and I’ve been trying to search for videos to help me understand the tragedy for some time. I thank you guys for making it simple and clear for me to understand. RIP for those divers.
My uncle is one of the top sat divers in the world, and this is one of my worst fears. I'm never worried about sharks, crocs, rays etc. Getiing him. It's human error/mechanical failure that scares me.
@Pat Luxor Fear Human mistakes, not the sea monsters that may or may not exist.
Human error will always be I finitely more terrifying to me than any animal
@@starbladesfury2195 I respect that, but you and me both know there's something down there.
@@nationalsocialist5526 Yeah, there’s probably some really nasty creatures in the deep dark.
Well, as they said in the video: it’s arguably the most painless death a person could hope for. These divers died before they even realised what was going on, which is a relief to hear. Also, they died doing what they loved, and while surrounded by buddies.
As a no diver. I greatly appreciate when you guys take the time out to explain. For us non divers. One of the many reasons I continue to watch this channel! Great jobs guys.
My vacuum story which still scares the crap out of me and will explain how dangerous vacuum or sudden extreme pressure change is: I was suspended under a wharf in a dog cage with a labourer and we were deconstructing a condemmed wharf, our job for the day was to remove an endcap on an old ship oil bunker line before wharf demo could begin. We had 5 com divers in the water below us on a different task. The difficult aspect was the bunker line was at a really high vacuum, however we did not realise this beforehand, it wasnt until I backed the giant nuts off a bit and realised the whistling was the air escaping into the bunker line I realised this was going to be dodgy. I came up with the plan of backing all the nuts off slowly taking turns with my offsider (severe corrosion on the studs for the endcap) and then once they were backed off only a few turns, hammer in drifts/iron chisels, allow the line to equalise to normal atmosphere, then proceed to begin taking apart each flange as we moved along. We were left there in this steel dog cage bolted to the underside of the wharf after being dropped off by a tender (work boat) and was our only way back to land essentially. After a lot of work with a breaker bar the nuts were freed up thanks to the denso tape protecting the outer studs enough from the marine environment we could just back them all off, once freed with just a very large podge ratchet. While the offsider was hammering chisels into the endcap and preparing to back off the nuts more, I was talking to one of the com divers below us and was swapping tools with him back and forth in a bucket. I turned around to see how my buddy was going and realised he had removed all of the nuts, had inserted a very large drift between the endcap and flange, and before I could even yell, absolutley flogged it home with a shortened sledge hammer. His workshirt instantly disappeared off of him, the noise was like a jet, every button on the shirt had let go and torn at the seams where it meets the sleeves, but luckily the large piece of shirt had clogged the small opening between the cap and flange of the bunker line. I pulled him back and helped him remove the rest of his shirt and checked him over, had some red marks from the shirt sort of bruising his skin around his hips and shoulders but was ok apart from the shock of what happened. We sat there for 15 minutes or so listening to this thing suck air in like a balloon that had been let go, couldn't budge the shirt until it was pretty much equal to atmo. Scared the crap out of two of the divers too. To this day no matter what anyone says I'll spend as long as possible opening valves or checking gauges before I repair or demo any long pipes and lines.
I read "a dog cage with a labrador". I need help.
@kingfuqurmahmen6792everybody sidetracks on stories, okay pal?
Maybe if you didn’t feel entitled to say something to make you feel smart, maybe people would like you more. 😂
@kingfuqurmahmen6792 I know zero about the niche and just from basic reading comprehension skills I can tell you I understood and could paint a vivid picture in my mind of the situation pretty easily.
@@jp8649 I thought that's what it said too. 😅
Thanks for NOT showing the pictures. The description of the injuries and deaths were enough to get the message across. I have seen similar pictures when I was preparing to go to Commercial Diving school back in the 1982. I stayed in the Nuclear Power Industry instead and became a Radiation Protection Technician.
Once again, excellent video gentlemen.
Dive Safe.
They should have shown them. but thankfully we can enjoy the pics online. i hate censorship
You a punk. I wish they did show them. Man up 🙄
@@paulwoodford1984 its hardly censorship.. nothing to gain from seeing that shit. Lol @ 'enjoy' mr.edgelord

@@MsOpium I’d assume just google images.
I know this story, it is rough. RIP to those divers. I appreciate Woody's beanie choice, lightens the mood a little.
Woody always lightens the mood a little bit no matter what he's wearing! The pink beanie lightens it a little more then normal! These two literally brighten my day they are amazing
The crocheter I me is thinking how I can crochet this beanie 🐠

@@chrystalelizabeth do it.
@@SasquachPL I don't think Woody knew the topic of the video he was reacting to going in. So he just wore a favorite hat.
I literally shed a few tears for the families of these divers. What a heartbreaking way to go for these guys guys to go. My uncle was a deep sea welder, and he never went into depth about the work he did and the specifics. This channel brings me close to understanding the danger and awe divers in general do. Great video and review of a video. I'm a new sub! Keep it up!
You did not .. competitive grief is a disease

@@deenak79 Lol, you clearly dont know what a REACTION VIDEO IS.
holy shit smh..............
I wouldn't call this heart breaking. dying instantly with no pain is probably the best way to die 100%. Heart breaking is the people who are held by gangs and political groups that are tortured to death and are conscious.
I always find it interesting how people's idea of a gruesome or brutal death differs. Personally, it being so quick makes it far less gruesome to me than many others
But it is the aftermath that made it so gruesome.
Blood and guts everywhere. the water almost completely red.
But they felt every second
@@gilbertacus2310 better to feel every second for a few seconds than feel every second for a few hours. Also ngl depending on speed of death nerve signals might never make it to the brain to make the pain reaction go off
@@gilbertacus2310 Thing is, it didn't take seconds. Something like this happens so fast there's pretty much no way for the human brain to even register what's happening. And most of them were asleep too, so yeah, no chance even the guy opening the door realized what happened
you find it...interesting? go touch grass dude
I love your respect for the dead and the sense of responsibility to still educate about how the tragedy could be prevented.
TOO BAD THEY STOLE THE ENTIRE STORY FROM ANOTHER CHANNEL - PINNED PICTRE AND ALL.
This was a hard one to watch, I agree with you Gus. I cannot understand how with the safety equipment we've had all these years they didn't build a safer transfer system before this accident.
I ALREADY WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO OF THE CHANNEL YOU STOLE THIS FROM....YOU EVEN STOLE HIS PINNED PICTURE - DUDES.....SO BAD FOR YOU, SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!
@@deenak79 before leaving a hundred comments on someone's video, yelling in all caps, maybe pause for a second and think about whether or not anyone actually did the thing you're accusing them of.
This is a reaction video. They credited the other creator. They linked to his video. They made it very very clear that they were discussing someone else's video. That is collaboration, not theft, and it's completely normal. No one would be upset about this.
@@deenak79nigga no one cares
@@deenak79 shut up 🖤
Kinda like on interstellar
I live in Trinidad, after the incident that occurred with the 5 divers that got sucked in to the pipe I started becoming more and more interested in diving and especially diver rescues … especially since we learned that the divers were alive in an air pocket inside the pipe for over 24 hours. There was one survivor of the incident who managed to get himself out and he said that before he came out , he was together with the other divers who were all alive , but badly injured and unable to move inside the air pocket and he got himself out with hopes of being able to send others in to rescue them. Of the 5 divers, sadly 4 passed away. I honestly was not expecting to hear you speak about this incident in this video.. but I’m glad you did. I hope you can further research and put out a video on this and similar Delta P incidents soon.
I hope they cover the Trinidad story as well. I’m interested in hearing the technical details after hearing the first hand account from the survivor.

@@deenak79 theyre reacting to the video birdbrain
@@deenak79 never heard of a react video huh boomer?
Where can I watch a video about this?
Thank you for NOT showing the more gruesome pictures/videos relating to this incident -- I've heard about this before, but have never really been able to understand what happened because I was always so taken aback at the goriness of the explanations. I very much appreciate the respectful, factual, clinical way you've examined and explained what happened to these men.
I’ve heard so many explanations about why there needs to be decompression stops. But the way you explained the actual gas molecules basically getting smaller then bigger, it made me go: “Oooooh I get it!” Holy crap what a great way to explain it! If you can’t explain it simply then you don’t know what you’re talking about, but you sir, do 👏🏽
They weren't opening the door they were closing it. I saw a documentary on this accident. What they said was that the tunnel was pressurized they went from the bell to the living quarters and were about to close the door from the living quarters to the tunnel and the guy closing the door had the door a few inches from closing it and then outside worker for some reason unlatched the tunnel from the living quarters thinking it was closed and then was sucked through the tunnel. So the didn't open the door they were closing it
So, there was a pressure difference between the bell and the living quarters, right?
And the bell attached to the tunnel, which was on the same pressure like the living quarters. The tunnel was still open to the quarters. So one guy in the quarters closed it and right before closing it, the door from the tunnel to the bell was unlatched? So, this rises a lot of questions in my self.
Why was the bell in a low pressure? Why was the tunnel unlatched anyways? Even if the tunnel got pressured to the bell pressure, then there is still a pressure difference. It doesn't make sense to me. Maybe someone could explain it?
Understanding/werewolf,
Saunders himself just gave an expansive explanation in the comment section of a recently released video of the Byford Dolphin event.
(Saunders was the injured, sole survivor).
The dive supervisor was cajoling the 2 recently returned divers to quicken their pace so that the bell could be detached/depressurized.
Crammond misundetstood the comms (over headphones, I believe) and thought the supervisor was telling him to unlatch the - supposedly - depressurized tunnel.
When Crammond started to undo the tunnel latching mechanism, the explosive decompression occurred.
As the diver - Hellevik - had not yet secured the DDC/Tunnel hatch, the interior of the DDC instantly depressurized as well.
A near identical event took place in ~ 1975 off Brazil when 2 Oceaneering divers died in similar circumstances.
I arrived on the rig several months later, and the event was described to me by other divers who were present at the tragedy.
Decades ago, the safety protocols were limited and reporting on accidents was virtually nil in non European theaters of operation.
Exactly. It would be 100% impossible to open the door because of the pressure difference. Kinda surprised these divers don't understand that. All doors in diving bells and diving chambers opens inwards.
I ALREADY WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO OF THE CHANNEL YOU STOLE THIS FROM....YOU EVEN STOLE HIS PINNED PICTURE - DUDES.....SO BAD FOR YOU, SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!
What I dont understand: how did a small tunnel that was not pressurized, but could only hold like 1 cubic meter of gas at most be able to destabilize 1-2 rooms at 9 atmos that had much more volume (10-16x). Wouldn't that bring the pressures at an average drop. I get the hint that somehow they got exposed to outside pressure, not the tunnel's pressure; makes more sense.
Gus, what happened was the bell was attached and the crew had transferred into the chamber all ready. They had to then close the door to the chamber and lower the pressure of the airlock before detaching the bell. However, the door was not closed, and the airlock was not depressurized before the bell was removed. So either the airlock failed, or the team outside removed the bell before the door inside was closed. So he got sucked through a partially opened door. The restriction increased the pressure exerted on his body by creating a seal and reducing the cross sectional area of the pipe. Just like the high pressure hose has a tiny hole.
It’s the Venturi effect, same as seen on a carburettor.

@@deenak79 I stole? Well I'm not affiliated with them. Just a fan and subscriber. I think you have the wrong impression here. What they do is react to other videos that we recommend and provide their own professional insights into the commentary or the diving related content. They have a mix of fair use videos like this, some featuring the original creator, and an assortment of other videos they recorded personally or borrowed from a friend.
It's fair use to respond to the original video. This is how people can use movie clips as long as they talk about the movie clips. Gus and Woody are very friendly and professional people.
@@brendanwood1540it's a bot
They don't get paid enough in my book.
Woody is always so cute and happy whenever I see him, literally a ray of sunshine before the crazy stories pop off. Love the good vibes despite the very serious content 😊❤️
The danger is always in what you don't know. That's why I'm so amazed by the early divers who learned a lot of the lessons the hard way, or the early astronauts, or early chemists. That's why cave diving is so dangerous if you aren't a certified cave diver. It's what you don't know that can get you in trouble. I remember a few years back I was melting some zinc pennies and had no idea that breathing in the fumes can lead to metal fume fever. I found out the hard way that the things you don't know are the things that can hurt you the most.
The problem is you don't know what you don't know.
Guys I’m not a diver or even close to being a diver but hearing Gus and Woody explain and react to videos is the best thing,I love to learn from these videos thank you Gus and Woody for posting these..
Thank you for watching!
I'm a black man from Baltimore and since watching your videos I have learned so much about this diving profession. I love to think outside the box. Your videos are amazing and I appreciate the work that diver do.
What does you being black have to do with it 😂😂😂😂
I am becoming obsessed with this channel. Came by it by accident and can’t stop watching. I’ve never been diving, but for some reason it’s absolutely fascinating learning about the technical aspects of it. (Love the hats)
In underwater welding they call that "Delta P" which means change in pressure. When you have hundreds of feet of water above you...thats a lot of pressure. Theres video of a crap getting sucked into a tiny slit in a pipe at the sea floor like it was made of paper.
It's not exclusive to underwater anything. In physics, delta means essentially "the change in or difference of." You could denote it for any unit. Delta (obviously the symbol is used instead in writing) T, ie the change in temperature, delta P, the change in pressure, delta f, the change in frequency, etc.
it’s delta p is normally used in our field to describe hazards when working on dams or anything in which we are diving in something with a higher pressure that there’s a possibility of the water trying to equalise into a pipe or the down stream side of a damn that is the most common death in commercial diving just had a diver death this last year in Kentucky do to that.
@@tonyvelasquez6776 To add to this: The symbol used is a greek symbol looking like a triangle: Δ. So in calculations it would be for example ΔP, ΔT and so on :)
@@tonyvelasquez6776 Jeb says don't forget Delta -v
@@martijoha Thanks! I was too lazy to copy the symbol
I appreciate the learning aspect of this video v.s. the "click bait gruesome" aspect.
As we do in aviation and as some others have commented, knowledge is earned and many rules are written in blood.
After *every* aviation accident an investigation is done. Not to assign blame, and in most countries cannot be used against anyone, but to learn about what happened to prevent further accidents of a similar nature.

@@deenak79 dude shut up
I remember the Caribbean diving accident where the four saturation divers experience the phenomenon called "Delta P". That was one of the most frightening things I've ever heard about.
Is that the one where they got sucked into the oil pipe, and they were alive in an air pocket. One guy was able to crawl and swim out but no real rescue attempt was made so the others died days later?
@@spermwater Yep, that's the one. I'm really glad I never got into that line of work.😬😬
This is the first time I’ve had this incident explained in a way where I definitely fully understood every single thing that happened and went wrong. Like you said extremely clear.
"Cassaion's Disease" also known as the bends, was named after the caissons used to dig the footings for the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge. (Native of NYC here.) It crippled the designer of the bridge, and he didn't live to see it completed.

Man, I love this channel.
Ever since I found it, clicking on a video is like sitting down with old friends.
Just two guys who really love what they do, spreading knowledge.
And I don’t even dive.
Great job covering this accident.
It was horrible.
What happened was the guy who was working the outer door opened, I believed broke the seal of the first door before the inner one was closed.
He was also killed.
I am not into diving. At all. But I ran across this channel months ago and I am hooked. The two of you make such a good team.Salute.
Just a little comment from a member of your audience…I am NOT a scuba diver, I will NEVER be a scuba diver, absolutely NO WAY I could ever! But, you guys are so fascinating! I love how you are so considerate to break things down for people like me who know nothing. I really do love learning about your passion. So interesting! Fun fact…one day I stumbled upon MrBallen…love him, huge fan! Then he led me to stumble onto you. You guys are wonderful storytellers just like he is. I kinda check in with you almost everyday. So, just wanted to say THANKS!
When I was mining my mates neighbour was a dive Master, meaning he took care of the divers in the capsule, on the ship and in the bell, and more importantly the gases. He told me a story about how he turned a job down because of safety concerns, because of the equipment age. The job was worth 500k for 6 months work. He turned it down. 1 month later heard two weeks into the job the bell failed, about 20 feet from the surface, three men died similar to the first story.

@@deenak79 stfu its called a REACTION video for a reason.
@@deenak79 plus if you would look at the description they ALWAYS link the original video. So maybe get your facts right before you open you mouth. You commented this way too many times for absolutely no reason
I have a friend that was a Test Diver for the US Navy. He did so much damage to his body he acts like he is on LSD all the time because of the brain damage he suffered from.
I’ve never dived not once in my life. I’ve watched dozens of these videos. Your content is great
TOO BAD THEY STOLE THE ENTIRE STORY FROM ANOTHER CHANNEL - PINNED PICTRE AND ALL.
just a quick correction on woodys comment about under water welding saying it is one of the most deadly professions. in realty underwater welding is very highly regulated and very uncommon in the commercial diving field and when it is done it is very minor welds. we use a reverse polarity with a knife switch to direct current away from the diver and cut power to the stinger as soon as the weld is done with a knife switch. i don’t believe but i could be wrong but there has never been a death of a diver while he wet welding at least in the past few decades. U/W burning is another story though. but i’ve heard of this story being a. commercial diver and thing you did a good job talking about the incident and look forward to more videos

Oh my goodness what an horrifc event, so glad they didn't suffer, but my heart goes out to their poor familes having to cope with how their loved ones died. Very impressed with excellent narration of this story.
Fun fact regarding the origin of decompression tables: John Scott Haldane, a British physician and physicist and the father of respiratory medicine, developed the original tables based on theoretical models of 5 compartments validated, IIRC, by studies on goats.
I think these types of videos are important. We have two experts analyzing a tragedy and helping others to understand what happened. And some of the comments are helpful as well. We (hopefully) learn from tragedies and make the necessary adjustments from happening again. I'm learning a lot from you guys and looking forward to learning more.

The door Hjellevik was working was partially closed. The bell, the collar, and the habitat were all at 9 ATM. When Crammond broke the seal on the clamp and the habitat explosively decompressed it shot the bell off, and the air rushing out basically shoved Hjellevik through the opening like a strainer. The included damage would be that his body was having the same explosive outgassing that the others suffered from.
I didn't know about these jobs. Mad respect. Some of these stories are just pure anxiety horror films
God I love these videos. Gus, I’m a big guy like you and the first obstacle to me learning how to dive would be my size and my insecurities about it. Seeing you dive because it is your love and passion inspires me to want to get over these mental hurdles and do the things I want and love in life.

I'll point out regarding to the question of the sensation experienced from increasing pressure. As a scuba diver you essentially equalize your lungs through continuous breathing. However, as a freediver you carry the same amount of air in your lungs from the surface to the designated depth, so you will feel the volume of air in your lungs decrease.

They simply removed the bell too soon before the main hatch in the living quarters was closed. The pressure was already at 9 atmospheres, and when the bell was removed the door was wide open to the living quarters
Stumbled across a video of y’all’s today and have been watching all day. Not that I’m interested in diving or death, but something about they way you both talk about the situations at hand and the empathy you have.. I really found that refreshing. Love woody’s hat in this one.
Great explanations all around, especially about being in a plane and getting sucked out. I love you guys...thank you for NOT showing the autopsy pictures. I understood everything that the narrator described...great choice Gus.
You missed the most dangerous part of underwater welding. Delta P, or change in pressure; meaning a great difference in pressure between two volumes. Welders often work on pipes or hulls which are hollow on the inside and being pushed by the seawater on the outside. The pressure difference can force people or sea life into the smallest opening in a pipe or hull if the pressure difference is high. Divers can be pulled through the openings entirely if the pressure is great enough or they just get stuck in the hole.
Something to be aware of if you ever dive an old mine with pipes inside.
Yeah delta p is scary
A pretty good example of this

Wow thats incredible and incredibly scary, thank you for sharing.
Damn. Never thought of that but now it makes sense. Jesus. Imagine. Getting stuck on a pipe because of a tiny ass crack and now you just wait for your death, slow and inevitable

I love how respectful you both were about not putting in the other versions because of the pics ❤ this was such a cool video! And very interesting
Guys, you are rockstars to react and educate and spread this knowledge, its absolutely amazing! Also, the reasons for not showing the gruesome autopsy images, justified. Such wisdom and you make it so fun and interesting, keep at it, cheers! Big hug to you both, love from India x
That was explained extremely well. I now understand decompression. I don’t understand blood turning to fat but since it’s not relevant to survival and is so rare there isn’t a need. It’s very sad that happened. Very glad their legacy went on to educate.
The rules were already in place nothing was learned in this situation the rules were just enforced.
Here's the thing - the fat in the blood probably came from a mix of the fat in body tissues and whatever fat globules are saturated in the blood (because blood is a solution) emulsifying out. When fat is under pressure and frothed like that, the lipids can rapidly congeal, just like when you churn cream to make butter. That's how that happens.
These men were under such immense pressure, their blood and bodily tissue turned into butter. That's how much force was added.
@@ThePhantomSafetyPin
That’s fascinating. It makes me think about the fats in my own system and what condition they are in. The fat attached to our bones versus the fats circulating and how that all works. What affects it, what keeps it “healthy” versus what causes a reaction that’s toxic, etc. Man we have come a long way in knowledge. I love learning about this stuff.

@@deenak79 they didn't steal it, they credited him and have a link to his video. This is standard for content creators to discuss each other's videos.
I love these two dudes. Every video is both funny and informative. They have a great little niche going on here
The two divers who had just come out of the water were actually both inside chamber one when the accident happened. The second of the two divers is thought to have had a problem closing the door between the chamber and the tube. The tender, for unknown reason, released the pressure while that diver was still trying to close the door. So, that door was actually only partially opened and he was pulled through that partially opened door and down the tube, etc. It is believed the door was jammed and that is why the tender, apparently believing enough time had passed that the door "must be closed by now" and he released the pressure. He was killed along with the four divers that were in the chambers, so nobody can ask what exactly happened.
I used to work for Oceaneering ROV Dept. I got the chance to talk to many sat divers. The best was Frank (Black???). At the time, and possibly still, held the record for the deepest dive in a WASP suit. Hearing him talk how the suit was crunching in on him was amazing. Man had balls of steel. The modern day sat dive helmets were developed by Oceaneering.
I love the respect you guys have for other people. I feel like not showing the photos was such a good choice.

I did a science project about delta-p when I was in school lol. My teachers were worried, but intrigued 😂 but a real note, this whole situation was a horrible tragedy and my thoughts go out to their families and hope this never happens to anyone else. They're both horrible ways to die 🙏🏾
Not really. The fact it was instant none of them saw it coming, one minute alive and in on a split second they explode and die. Probably painless

This is why we have interlocks, that do not allow doors to be opened until the pressure is equalized. Tragic.
In 2002, the average life expectancy of an underwater welder was 9 years from the day you start and they got minimum wages of $45.⁰⁰/hr.
Both of you make diving so appealing and fun. Thanks for always giving us great content as well being informative. Keep up the great work and thanks for all that you do!
This show has grounded my dive understanding. I only have an open water, but I'm learning loads here.
That’s what I’m finding too. A lot of the theory didn’t really click for me, and even in the practical it didn’t. But the way these guys explain it, really makes sense, and it’s consolidating my learning. The stories are terrifying but they make me more determined to be a safer diver. I just love this channel.
I found your channel recently, and everything I've watched so far is fascinating. I've done a bit of research on this accident, and the video you played as well as your explanations cleared up so many questions I had about this case. I've read the official report (pics and all, thank you for not showing them) and it was rather confusing figuring out how the bell and chamber were situated. Super interesting to learn it's up on the actual rig, as I had thought it was at the workers' diving depth. Thanks again for this respectful analysis of a tragic case.
The thing that struck me the most about deep sea welders
Imagine having a filling in your tooth explode, and you have to wait 3-5 days just to get back to the surface before having it dealt with
I have bad anxiety that needs medication for me to function normally. One of my biggest fears is the moments before death, and what goes through ones head. Funnily enough, watching videos where people have passed helps me come to terms with mortality as a part of life, and is sort of comforting.
You should watch some hospice documentaries or end of life documentaries. Many of them show the behavior and statements of people who are very near to the end. Some rather fascinating things can be discovered by what they have to say.
your fear of death wont stop you from dying. Fear of death only stops you from living your best possible life! ✌️☮️
@@gl7323 I don't know why that's strangely comforting.
My dad passed away from a truck accident, freak accidents happen. Why live in fear? That’s a spit in the face to all of your brave ancestors.
Complete newbie here. I’ve learned about this tragedy before but have never heard such a good explanation for why divers return to the surface so slowly. Thank you for clarifying it so well!
It's crazy how just doing one thing wrong killed 6 people instantly. It makes me really appreciate technology. Today it'd be such a precisely automatic system that human error is basically eliminated and the whole entire area would be screaming at you how much time you got left and when it's doing the next thing on the list.
Though if there's one solace in this, it's that they died instantly and didn't feel a thing. Although the guy at the door having his organs ripped out I find hard to believe died so instantly he didn't feel some sort of major pain, if only briefly.
Hey guys, just found your channel the other day. Really enjoying your videos. I dont know if i'd ever be able to cave dive but I love watching it vicariously
I think the worst and least spoken about part of saturation diving is the insane headaches they experience after “coming up.”
also, I think the thing Gus was mentioning is called “Delta P” in the industry. it stands for differential pressure. there’s a video out there of a crab getting sucked through a small cut in a pipe because of it.
I have seen that video, it was just so terrifying and also interesting I watched it a couple of times in just pure aww. It’s not hard to imagine a human getting close to something like that and instantly become a memory.

@@deenak79 You're being ridiculous and either must be new to TH-cam or lack critical thinking skills. Ever hear of fair use? If not, look it up.
They were commenting on the story sourced from another video, as tens of thousands of content creators do across a myriad of platforms. They always acknowledge where they are sourcing the story from, and it provides a platform for them to offer their own take/opinion based on their experience.
Sit down, stop writing asinine things in public, and as a final pro-tip; it is ok to deselect caps lock.
@@KareemHarper also I'm pretty sure what they are doing is considered spamming so we should report this person
@@chrismcnish4087 Done.
I really love the way how you discussed everything and the video that you are reacting to is the best of all of the videos that cover this incident.
People can always learn something of value from both rescue and recovery videos, they are so valuable!
As you said at the end of the video, you'd think that even back then, there would be interlocking in place to prevent this kind of accident. Great video.
TOO BAD THEY STOLE THE ENTIRE STORY FROM ANOTHER CHANNEL - PINNED PICTRE AND ALL.
20:10 You misunderstood. The guy inside didn't mess up. They had all gone in from the bell, so the the pressure was all equal, other wise they couldn't have gotten out of the bell. At the point the guy inside is supposed to close the door so the bell and tunnel could be depressurized so the bell could be disconnected and stored, the guy outside released the bell. Boom. None of this should have been possible if the system was designed properly.
Wow that must of been horrendous for the people involved in the cleanup and retrieval of the poor lost souls, I can’t begin to imagine. 🙏
Great video, great job, you guys always treat the videos with death with dignity, compassion, professionalism, great job guys. Thanks
This one was heavy. Had to go watch some light-hearted vids afterwards. My hat's off to all the divers who work in these conditions
You covered this story so well! You have my great respect!
As an adult thanks for not showing autopsy footage. The discription was more than plenty.
The molecules, themselves, don't expand, the space between different molecules does.
My father's cousin works for a company that does does all underwater work diving diving hes done everything from penetrating pipes 1000' plus To working on bridges and Doing a lot of stuff for nuclear power plants in the Tri-state area. He Used to do a lot of underwater welding but now he is a manager that stays topside and only goes in the water every so often when he feels like diving. But hes done some crazy stuff including diving inside of a nuclear reactor pool. He's got a TH-cam channel called his name fred persicano He hasn't Uploaded anything in a few years but he has a couple of videos of him working underwater

Not related to the video, but I would LOVE to see a setup tour from you guys! Gus looks like he has some awesome gear!
As an ex Australian Military Diver, just say R.I.P for our diving community.
underwater welding actually isn't fire - it's a very powerful electrical arc
You can now add the titan accident to this list.
Yeah that was tough to watch even though there was no gore. The story is horrifying enough. Thank's for going for more informative than clickbait gory stuff. Understanding gas and pressure is so important. Rock on guys.
There are photos from this incident. They're as gruesome as you can imagine.
This accident was horrific, and the story here is one of the most well presented versions of it I've seen. These guys really did put a lot of effort into keeping it respectful for the victims and their families. I can't imagine having a family member die like this.
Careful looking it up on TH-cam as there are images of remains in some videos. It is hard to forget them once you have seen them.

One small edit to correct the telling of events:
The two divers had actually just arrived back at the living quarters from a completed dive. They pressurized the tunnel, moved from the bell to the quarters and sealed the bell door, but as the guy was closing the door to the living quarters, one of the dive technicians outside of the quarters released the coupling of the tunnel without confirming the living quarters door was shut and without decompressing the tunnel. The guy who was closing the door was slammed up against it and sucked through the 2ft opening of the door, and his body hit the door so hard that the door had to be removed with a welding torch.
I am grateful you didn't show the pictures of the autopsy. I have seen bodies in other vids, didn't know they where there. And now I gotta pay a therapist to talk about it. Cause it left that big an impact. And I ain't even a kid. It's just gruesome to see death and it's not for everyone. Thank you for making that smart a call. I prefer to learn like this.
