They left a bunch out of the K129 story. We actually recovered part of the sub and there is a video that was later shared with Russia of a ceremony of the re-burial at sea of the human remians that were found on the part of the sub that was brought to the surface.
And they left out the fact that Project Azorean happened the same year, a few months after the US lost a nuclear sub that`s last known position was off the coast of the Azores Islands and was trailing Soviet vessels. The interesting part was that it was headed back stateside for repairs but chose to follow the Soviets instead.
Gonzo is correct. There is a whole lot more to that story than yet released. Much of the rear portion of the sub was brought up, including the boats bell, and appararently at least one torpedo. Its a secret if it was one of the nuclear ones, but the people on the Explorer said that could see items looking like torpedos slowly flipping around as they sank back downward, when the structure collapsed. There were several minutes of falling debris, and there was immediate fear that they might be blown out of the water, if any of the armament went off. They actually sat still for a while, trying to figure out if it was safe to do anything. Some of the verbal stories deserve a movie. Similar to Apollo-13.
I mean I guess a good way to make sure a carrier isn't illegally salvaged for low-background steel is to make sure it's very, very high background steel.
But to say that even a small carrier could sink and nobody know where and what it was is ridiculous. These Drain The Oceans folks are just making up nonsense off the tops of their heads. Shoddy, sensationalist, stoopidity.
iirc the cases for the bombs are in a museum now, the actual fissile material is long since reused in other weapons, and the brains have long since been scrapped
Oh, they knew. They know the coordinates of all wrecks. Maybe not exact pinpoint for the older ones, but they had a general idea. R/V Petrol has put eyes on many throughout the years though, and exact coordinates are now known.
@@redalertsteve_ No, not exact. But they have some idea. R/V Petrel crew have found many wrecks based on last known coordinates. Destroyers, cruisers, battleships, carriers. They've found all the US fleet carriers that were lost in battle. Lexington, Yorktown, Wasp and Hornet.
Me and my husband love national geographic, this Drain the ocean is loaded of information.. Keep it up, we enjoy more informative video you apload.. Thanks a lot
It seamed like a hit piece show to me. Only at the end did they even mention some of the lost Soviet junk. No China or others at all, just the US. And as far as the CV, at the time they didn't know how to dispose of it. Sensationalism at it's finest, if you ask me.
Actually, Kennedy agreed to remove the IRBMs from Turkey that he had installed in direct threat to the USSR. Kruschev's Cuban missile installment was in direct response to Kennedy's gamble.
Interesting information, but the high drama of music and narration bored me so much, I just turned it off. Maybe other people enjoy this stress approach…
I was and still am a great admirer of J F Kennedy. I lived through the Cuban crisis. Things were obviously happening that were not made public. There were US nuclear missiles placed in Europe pointing at the USSR in various countries. The US then had missiles placed in Turkey pointing at the USSR. Khruschev found out and had had enough. He then put in a plan, (as we all know) and started to put missiles in Cuba aimed at the US in response. They were caught out. Kennedy then put American forces on a war footing. Kennedy told Khruschev to get the missiles out of Cuba or war would commence. There were talks behind the scenes and it was Khruschev who told Kennedy, you get the missiles out of Turkey, and we will take the missiles out of Cuba. Quid pro quo. Kennedy then held talks with his security council and agreed to the plan on ONE condition. The condition was that it NOT BE MADE PUBLIC to which Khruschev agreed. (He could not care less whether it be made public or not). This was never divulged until years later. These facts are there for all to see. Look it up.
*LOST NUKES* The US military has experienced 32 "Broken Arrow" accidents since 1950, which are unexpected events involving nuclear weapons that result in loss or other issues. These incidents include accidental launches, radioactive contamination, theft, and public hazards. As of August 2022, six nuclear weapons were still missing and had not been recovered, though only one of them was capable of detonation when it was lost. Unsealed documents indicate that one of the missing weapons is in the Mediterranean Sea, two are in the Pacific Ocean, two are in the Atlantic Ocean, and one is in Eastern North Carolina.
Com'on. Independence is not such a mystery. One of the more famous ships at Bikini. She was brought to San Fransisco after the Bikini tests in order for engineers to study the radiological effects on her hull. Cool they found the wreck, but it was likely not that hard to find it. Someone just needed to be willing to spend the money to go down and have a look. And don't forget, Saratoga (CV-2) is still there at Bikini.
The Thresher took 3 days to reach crush depth, another sub searching passed over by about 150 feet but couldn't find it again that day so the search went deeper and again they heard the SOS banging on the hull but it was now twice the distance and the third day they heard banging but it was well down. Theres a Ex Sub guy on youtube that did a program on the official report and the military asked him not to do the second half but what I have said here is on the first half and it's still up.
It's too bad they destroyed the USS Saratoga CV-3 during Crossroads as well. She made it through the war, although wasn't/isn't as relevant or revered as Enterprise CV-6 due to spending lots of time in drydock and then as a training ship as more fleet carriers entered service. Should have been preserved like Enterprise should have been. You can at least still dive on Saratoga though if you want, she still sits on the bottom of Bikini in clear waters. Can easily see it from above the surface.
Depending on the depth, none. The ocean deep down is very low in carbonates, so human, and other bone dissolve within a few months. Scavengers will clean the bones in just an hour. It only takes a day for a whale to be consumed. If they are not low there are parasites and worms that consume it almost at the same rate they dissolve. The oceans clean themselves very well. When the Sewol went down in Asia, they let it sit for a few months with 200+ bodies in it. The divers were pulling pieces out. I think one girl who was in a closed bathroom was the only full skeleton they got out. It was only 141 feet or so deep. 43 meters.
FUKUSHIMA Nuclear Meltdowns as of 03-11-11, were catastrophic, & changed humanity, & all remaining life-forms- forever-, & similar events as such, changing humanity, & all life-forms forever- & in a very detrimental way, as history has proven- since then;:
There is no change outside the local environment, other than increased safety systems being developed. The majority of people in the world go on with their lives as usual. More people are at risk from Radon naturally released form the ground, than Fukushima and Chernobyl combined.
No, she was a CVL, light aircraft carrier, but the lead ship of that class. Built on a Cleveland-class cruiser hull. Only carried about 25 fighters and 8 torpedo bombers. or 12 fighters, 9 torpedo/9 dive bombers. Small when compared to Essex fleet carriers. She wasn't the only carrier bombed in operation crossroads, the USS Saratoga CV-3 was as well, although imo it should have been preserved like the USS Enterprise should have been. it still lies on the bottom of Bikini, and is a popular rec dive site, as it is not very deep. Supposedly you can float above it in a boat and see it below in the clear water.
@@jerryrichards8172 Yes, I would like to see it one day for sure. I believe it's the only US carrier that can be dove on besides the USS Oriskany, which was gutted and sunk as an artificial reef/dive site off the cost of Florida. Sara is not gutted, would def make for a much more interesting, yet much more dangerous dive. Who knows what's left in there. Your welcome!!
Yes, the prevailing theory is that the atomic tests at Bikini Atoll inspired the creators of SpongeBob. Who then made an underwater world that might have been affected by the radiation from those tests
UMMMM, it did. Just a short google will give you the proof you would need. Take a look at FUKUSHIMA Nuclear Meltdowns as of 03-11-11. But before that, in the 50s and 60s so many nukes were set off by the US and other nations had already screwed it all over. The metal used for MRI and CAT has to come from salvaged ships that sunk before 1942, or it has radiation and cant be used.
The sensationalist narration and the overly dramatic commentary by the various "researchers" is exceedingly tiresome. A more factual presentation of the available information is far more desirable and appealing, especially because the nature of the topic really doesn't need any embellishment. It's already horrifying as it is.
Strictly the Americans side of the story. We now know, that there Is actually another side of the story. No more misleading the good people of this world, America ! 🔥🔥🇺🇸🔥🔥

Being almost void of actual facts just adds insult to injury. RELEARN TO MAKE DECENT DOCUMENTARIES LIKE IN THE 70's AND 80's!
I wish everybody would stop comparing any particular explosion to that of Hiroshima or Nagasaki... Because nobody really know what it means... Nobody knows what a 15kT explosion looks or feels like... Nobody knows what 20X or 50X or 1000X Hiroshima or Nagasaki explosion compares to... Is there any other possible way to make a comparison as such?? We may never know...
Drain the oceans is obviously the best national geographic series

Some of our guys were also part of this operation. Project Azorian, using our guidance systems. GM/DRL

How could the Navy not know where they lost an aircraft carrier..
The navy new where is was but the people of the public who wanted to see it couldn’t find it so that’s why he went looking
If this is the same ship, Wiki states that the aircraft carrier was purposefully decommissioned and sunk.

This great stuff but I agree with gentleman the background music is overwhelming,it should be soft music .
Good grief; they’ve seriously overblown the size and importance of an old CVL…and I doubt the Soviets were interested in contaminated clothing.
