Why is it that when you have a great view of seeing something about to go under water, there's always something blocking your once in a lifetime shot? Here's your chance to see something great, and a boat blocks your view and about to miss something you'll never see again?
@@Del-Canada That's why I was so pissed off..it had to know! Dumb sumbitches they were...lol. Theres a link in these comments that takes you to a better filming. Onboard cameras, different views and such. It went straight down bc they show some underwater views as well.
I did the decommissioning of a Kerr-McGee 6 pile production platform in 1996 off the coast of Texas. They cut the platform at the plus 12 foot elevation and set it to the south of the jacket. Then cut the jacket at the minus 90 foot elevation and set it to the north of the jacket. They were in 250 foot of water. Did a lot of that type of work in Louisiana in 2014. There were at that time 1500 platforms that needed to be removed.
There is a lot of work involved with preparing a defunct ship to be an artificial reef. Preparation can take many months to get the ship ready for the final plunge. It is rather a strict process.
The realization that if that had been a real sinking vessel and I had been on it, my first inclination would have been to run to the bow since that would be the last thing to submerge and cling to the railing not anticipating that random metal plate that shot up and flipped forward landing right on top of where I would have been floating when the vessel finally submerged.
I don't know about that. If the weather was warm, my thoughts are that you probably would've been off the ship and plenty far enough away to avoid being injured.
You would actually want to jump off almost immediately because if you don’t you’ll be dragged underwater with the boat and drown. It why hypothermia is such a killer when ships sink.
Yikes....that hatch cover would've left a mark! If I had to dive in, I would go out onto the flying bridge and jump from there, as far away from the hull as possible.

Robin Chandler Bacteria doesn't eat metal, there's already an uncountable amount of bacteria in the ocean found naturally. Billions are in your body, on your hands, in your stomach, in your eyelids, etc. Not all bacteria is harmful, most are helpful. Do some research before starting an argument, looking like an idiot. Edit from two year earlier. I was foolish when making this comment. Now I know certain types of bacteria do, indeed, eat metal. Also, please disregard my insult. I could've thought of a better one.
Oceans don't need saving. Oceans are extremely large. Artificial reefs just provide scuba sites and fisheries for coastal waters. Snowflakes you who don't understand science, large numbers or in fact anything not spoon fed by leftist extremists are the problem.
JEBEDIAH KERMAN, there are certain bacteria that do eat metal, and they are generally found in the deepest parts of the ocean. Metal eating bacteria are a large part of the reason the Titanic wreck is deteriorating so rapidly and, on the flipside, the lack of these bacteria is why the Britannic is still so well preserved even though it has also been submerged over one hundred years.
The contradiction here is that man can send their garbage into the sea with artificial reef claims yet we catch and eat the scavengers crabs and other shell fish that act as water filters to clean our oceans. Hopefully these artificial reefs will provide a hiding place for shell fish the breed and do their jobs cleaning the oceans. I'll need to stop eating crabs for a few years to help out!! Lol
As I understood it from the TPWL staff on the boat, the contract granted to the company that prepped the Kraken for sinking and sank it had performance incentives tied to the final resting position. Thus they got the most financial reward from having it sink perfectly upright. As such, as the prepped it for sinking, they weighted the ship to take into account the weight distribution of the cranes and other ship structures.
It is almost like whoever filmed this had no intention of having it end up on TH-cam. Otherwise, I'm sure they would have taken time to make all the experts happy.
Excellent work,something positive towards the environment. In Gibraltar this has been done since the early 80s albeit with smaller vessels, tugs, trawlers ,barges and small launches. Nowadays we are seeing the benifits of such practice.
Yes and no. There are 3 yellow things at the end of the video; a buoy (which is supposed to float), and two cranes which had been secured but were broken by the failure of two of the cargo hatch covers (that float off in the video). The cranes did settle back down overnight (measurement dive was done next morning), and the cargo hatch covers were recovered.
The Texas Parks & Wildlife divers did the measurements at various points. I did not write/down copy their measurements so take the following with a grain of salt until they publish the official numbers. Ocean floor in that area is in the 140 or so range (140-145 feet). The top of the ships wheelhouse is somewhere around the 60-70 foot range if I recall. The official video including underwater footage is at: th-cam.com/video/ES2yA6ECk-g/w-d-xo.html
kent kirkpatrick They did have 2-4 Go Pros in the ship. I was a crew member on one of the support boats they hired, so I do not have access to their footage.
The average depth of the Pacific, as an example, is around 3.5 kilometers. You could stand the boat upright in those kinds of depths with no danger to active shipping.
Which is the exact position of the sunken ship? Has it been informed to all the chats companies? Has a buoy been placed to indicate that now its dangerous to navigate in tjat area? How deep has it sunk? Cause though the bridge is under water, the tip of the cranes are above water; there's a difference of more than 5 meters. Appreciate your comments.
Ricardo Juricic all parts of the ship are below 60 feet. The cranes were not supposed to pop up like that and did settle down. The position was reported to charting companies and a buoy was placed.
It was a deliberate sinking to create an artificial reef. The ship was first cleaned and prepped for sinking, then towed out to the site. Once prep work at the site was completed, they opened two valves to allow the water to start flooding the ship. From the time the valves opened to the start of this video was about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. I started/stopped my camera quite a few times before the ship finally took on enough water to start entering via the large holes cut into the sides.
Because, the audio is basically nothing more than 2 dozen people sitting there saying "Is it sinking yet???" They had opened the flood valves over an hour earlier, and we were all sitting there wondering how long it would take as for the first 45-60 minutes you could barely tell that it was slowly sinking. As you can see, it went fast once the water finally hit the holes in the side. It was several hours behind the original schedule at that point. The upper 4 holes (2 per side) had wooden plugs in them when the boat was towed out, whereas the 2 lower ones on each side had been welded back into place following cleaning. Cutting them back out took longer than expected and also resulted in a man overboard situation when a person trying to push the wall out fell out with the wall.
I have a question, why did you just make a navigational hazard? The cranes are poking out, the top of thebridge is probably 20 at best under water. They should have picked a spot at least 40-60 foot deeper and welded the pivot points on the crane.
There are 3 yellow things at the end of the video; a buoy (which is supposed to float), and two cranes which had been welded but were broken by the failure of two of the cargo hatch covers (that float off in the video). The cranes did settle back down overnight (measurement dive was done next morning), and the cargo hatch covers were recovered. All parts of the ship were confirmed to be at 60 feet or deeper the next day as was the original plan. The ship was sunk in 142 feet of water.
With all of the artificial reefs that have been sunk, has ANYONE ever thought about all of the lead based industrial coatings that are used on ships? These reefs, however beneficial to the aquatic world, are, in time, going to contaminate these reefs somewhere down the line.
Yes. They think about this. For planned artificial reef sinkings, a thorough cleaning/removal of contaminants is performed prior to the sinking. In the 90's one of my professors also did a study with cement reef balls that had contaminants mixed in. Over years of study, no leaching was ever detected.
Nope. Out of all the researchers, engineers, environmentalists, marine biologists, government officials, and everyone else who studies these things, you're the first person to remember, "Hmmmm, what about the paint?" We're lucky you happened along.
@@curtekstrom6600 Yep it's always China. Every Chinese product you buy in the west was manufactured to the specifications requested by the western distributor/retailer who ordered and imported the product as cheaply as possible to maximise their profits. But yeah its the Chinese.
They were welded down, but broken free by the cargo hatch covers. I have no clue if the cargo hatch covers hadn't broken loose if the crane jibs would have stayed in place or the forces from the water would have broken the welds anyway. Based on what we saw, I suspect the cranes would have stayed in place as planned. But I was just a crewman on the support boat, I had nothing to do with the welding/sinking preparation, so you are not criticizing me.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, The fucking title says "Sinking of the Kraken" So It's not sunk by The Kraken... Kraken has millions of other meanings...

I wonder who or what evidence they were covering up.? Why would you sink millions of dollars worth of equipment.? Make it look like an event instead of a cover up.
Because... oh I dunno, IT WAS DONE ON PUROSE!? Hey Brilliant, ever heard of an artificial reef? You know, those things that are made from rocks, and concrete, and rebar, and ships, and other stuff so fish can live in it? God people are fucking stupid!!

These would be great videos if the ass clowns would stop parking their boats right in front of the camera . It would be cool if they were moving on through, but in this one they actually stopped and reversed blocking a good portion of the sinking. Especially aggravating when it appears that those were the only two boats out there.
There were 3 boats; the boat that unfortunately blocks the view held the people that actually were onboard the Kraken to do all of the welding and sinking. The M/V Fling (boat from which I filmed) held the science and dive teams. And there was a pleasure boat that is not seen in the trimmed video. As "long" as this video is, the valves to sink the Kraken had been opened over an hour earlier, so it was just a matter of unfortunate timing.
Congratulations on putting yourself in the WORST possible position to film this. I still watched it, but is there any other footage. Looks like it was probably pretty cool. Instead we get to watch a tugboat Meander slowly
Pure bad luck on timing, the work boat which had the engineering crew had been circling the ship as it sank. From the time at which they opened the valves to when it finally sank was more than an hour.

"RECALL THE KRAKEN!!"
Key Largo at mile marker 100 Oceanside has an organization that is replacing reefs with real coral. I dove the sites. Pretty remarkable.
I'm amazed the ship remained on an even keel as it sank, and didn't capsize with the weight differential caused by the cranes.
As I understood it from the TPWL staff on the boat, the contract granted to the company that prepped the Kraken for sinking and sank it had performance incentives tied to the final resting position. Thus they got the most financial reward from having it sink perfectly upright.

Didn't take into account the height of the cranes did they? Definite ship hazard
Why can't nobody film the ships sinking under water.
Not a single video on yt shows what happens under water and how it transitions.

They sunk back down. One is lying angled off the side, the other is lying across the cargo hold if I recall correctly.

Aside from any chemicals/oils which I’m sure they cleaned pretty well, it makes an artificial reef for LOTS of ocean life to live in and aroumd

Pure bad luck on timing, the work boat which had the engineering crew had been circling the ship as it sank. From the time at which they opened the valves to when it finally sank was more than an hour.

chucky 09 this is not the titanic stupid go play your stupid clash royale
So 2 minutes in and nothing happens, boring video. Get to the point, maybe narration indicating whats going on, to relieve the boredom.
So you’re the other one that’s standing by the microwave oven screaming hurry up. Me too.
Next time donate the ship to Gillette so we won’t have to pay $10 for a single razor blade. Just sayin! 🧐
yawn...
Dumping our human trash into the oceans then congratulating ourself on the "creation" of reefs.
Ok look here you undereducated toddler, these, ARE reefs, just look up what it means for a reef dickweed
Your hostility and name-calling don't really help support your approval of this practice. If you were emotionally mature, you could withstand alternative opinions. Stay in the shallow end of the pool if you can't swim in the deep with the adults. LOL! BTW, learning to write well wouldn't hurt your cause either.
@@chadfolkers628 oh my god just learn the fucking truth you dumbass, and a simple accidental writing error isn't me NoT lEaRnInG hOw To WrItE. Shut up and grow some brain cells
@@chadfolkers628 oh and my "opinion" Is the fucking truth. Google it.
This isn't trash like plastic. Anything toxic was removed and the ship contains many nooks and crannies for fish to hide in, and marine plants will be able to anchor well to the ship
Great. More trash on the sea floor.
No different than the Dead Whale Bones on the Ocean floor
What? You're not on the seafloor! Grow the fuck up. Get some brain cells
It's not. It's a ship that contains flat surfaces for plants to anchor to and nooks and crannies for fish to hide in.
@@defeatedink0544 yes. Thank you.
It's an artificial reef, dipshit.
Thumb down from me
