Boat Pulling 6 Million Pounds of Trash Has Nowhere To Go 

Futurama is starting to make a little more sense.

Probably wasn't that much of a shocker for the locals looking over the ocean and seeing a massive stinking pile of garbage.. after all, they're within smelling distance of New Jersey.

10:17 all of that water and these ships still collide 😂

Someone else's trash, is someone else's treasure; it's their bread and butter! You watch the Sopronos?

Can we all appreciate how much work BE AMAZED puts in these videos😅He never runs out of ideas!

Since our town started requiring single stream recycling and having two large trash bins , provided by the garbage company, I was amazed to see how much less actual trash there was in the “trash” container compared to the single stream recycle bin. I have never really been one to pay much mind to the topic but it was so noticeable that I couldn’t avoid acknowledging the difference if I wanted to. So now plastic, glass and cardboard all get reused and regular trash gets incinerated to create power and the ash is much less and the smoke eaters and filters used these days are pretty environmentally friendly compared to the old days.

Fascinating video, it's really hard to comprehend just how _huge_ these ships are! 😮😮

Thats why we should use our oil. We wont pollute the ocean with sinking, wrecked ships. Underground pipelines are the only way to safely move oil.

0:57 Hey... are you holding your nose? LOL

Remember, when an oil company gets fined, you and I pay for it at the pump. So, don't be so quick to say the company wasn't fined enough.

Only the GOAT teaches and entertains us by the same time

There's actually a children's book about this event called "Here Comes the Garbage Barge," written by Jonah Winter 😁 I used to share the StorylineOnline version (read aloud fantastically by Justin Theroux) with my 3rd Grade students, and the book itself is very accurate to the true story & genuinely entertaining. Highly recommend giving it a listen and/or read if anyone is interested, btw!

The Exxon Valdez oil tanker that ran aground in 1989 shipping company also just paid a fracture of what the cleanup originally cost. Three years later.

We used to go to Weymouth in the south of England for a weeks summer holiday in the 1960's, however in 1967, the holiday was ruined because the beach was polluted by crude oil fro the Torre Canyon disaster. I remember trying to make a sand castle, (I was eight) and the sand was just black sludge- it was horrible. We never went back again, chosing to go elsewhere. I visited Weymouth back in 2005 to take my late mother on a last trip there, and it was so different.- not the nice place it was in the 60's.

If Amoco maintained their ship the accident would never have happened so they should have paid the whole thing

16.01 i think thay shoud have paid 7.8B for the damage on mother eath, and the 6B is for the animals becaus that maut of dead birds and fish is price less like you said!

my dad remembers this moment like it happened yesterday lol

I love your voice Warren

Im from New York City and never knew any of this! Im Amazed! ❤

Lmao!, "you know who else is a winner? You are if you subscribe" 😂

If it has ties to the mafia, just make them an offer they can’t REFUSE! 😂

Here in Ontario, there's a location that has the reference of being the Scarborough Bluffs. What people don't know, the bluffs are not a natural formation but manmade. The Scarborough Bluffs are the remains of an old landfill site. If anyone was to dig into it, they may find old newspapers dating back to the 30's and 40's. There's also another location, Pickering Landfill Site. Guess what they did. They developed the land south of the site. Built townhouses and come summer when the heat is unbearable and the winds just right, those that reside in the townhouses complain about the smell. Its comical how people have no problem being wasteful in a disposable society, taking for granted the services provided by municipalities without even a single thought. Its either 'not in my backyard' and/ or, 'out of sight, out of mind'. I think the worst mindset is the process of upgrading to the latest release of something new on the market and purchasing the upgraded model when the old model is just as good. Eg. 42" to a 52" flat screen. Or having a year 22 Mustang and then getting a 24 Mustang as a trade in.

Wow, this must be a BRAND NEW THING?! Especially since we can see the Twin Towers in the background. A better video would be: What happened Crap Island since the 90's?

*pointing to this video* Is this a Futurama episode?

so thaaaaats where my shirt went

Your videos are so entertaining that time seems to pass extraordinarily fast.

Pay it all!!!!

One of your best videos, Be Amazed! 👍😎

Hey be amazed can you do more riddles and Darwin Awards please

19:29 the incredible power of Phil swift even work on giant shipping boats

I'm surprised you didn't take a jab at the most recent shipping failure/accident, was waiting for it at the end lol great video still 👍

Love your videos dude! New Yorker here... not to knock you, but Islip is pronounced eye-slip. 🤣

Any one of hundreds of greedy hoarding billionaires could finance real, ingenious reclamation & recycling!

I am Amazed

My boy Beavis said light that shit on fire!chYeah,,,,🔥 fire !

Am new to the channel and am loving it so far🎉

Bye-bye to plastic, oil products, and back to cellulose, wood products, totally renewable. We've been had.

1st bacteria cruise ship!

Now i know where Futurama got the idea for the episode about the giant trash ball.

Wow

I got my Be Amazed plushie in the mail yesterday! He is sooooo cute!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Got here in time

Thanks Be Amazed. I always leave amazed.

Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work you are awesome

Good vid

Great video thanks 😊

There was a reference to this tug in the movie Stewart Little, IFYK

Petition for Be Amazed to make a vid on the backrooms

They carry too many containers. This doesnt mention how many containers that are lost, without losing the ship.

Send to the Hamptons , it would fit right in.

You sure know how to make it sound funny you're fit for a scary movie

Relaxing and amazing content as always

was there any calulties on any of the accidents even?

0:10 if u know you know…

Belize City such a lovely place to visit. I heard of a cave underwater that snow in belize

my god

I've been work at my county landfill for 3 years now, I enjoy it heavy equipment to drive across an heat inside, an pretty layed back 😁

BRO IVE NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY IN THE LIKE 5 YRS IVE BEEN WATCHING YALL!!! ( 11 minuets ago :D)

Another great video 🎉thank you!

Men you sound high af lol dont worry im with ya 😂

They did a Futurama episode about this... The ball of trash they shoot out in space but came back 1000years later...

Baton Rouge Louisiana. The most expensive place you can live at, it's called CCL. CCL is The Cluntry Club of Louisiana. This play looks so pretty, it has a 6 hole Golf course and a gated community that is watched 24/7. Now you'd think a beautiful neighborhood like this would host any dark secrets, but it does. Master P got kicked out for have late night parties. But this isn't the worst secret. If you dig down just a couple of feet, you won't hit oil baby. Nope this beautiful gated community was built on top of a land field. Anyway thought that was cool to find out. Take it easy people amd take care.

I loved this video, thanks very much,.

I remember when I was a kid and one of the largest oil spills in history had happened near a shoreline and I remember seeing hearing how the wildlife would take decades upon decades to recover but it didn't it took just less than 10 years before you couldn't even tell.

Landfills are never full. There is no vertical limit to a pile of trash. This was just graft.

People don't realize that shortcuts will almost always be detrimental to your plans.

You've pulled my classy and definitely not trashy Amazement to shore yet again.

I already am being amazed

I remember they would go out 9 miles and dump the trash at sea.

It all goes to DC.

I remember that Amoco aftermath in 78.that was on the nightly news a long time.i was a little kid then.😢

3:00 "Holy canoli" Me: Holy what?

It looks like trash from New York City. Probably from Queens and Yonkers. LOL

I also watch channels about Shipping catastrophe and Naval history. What is it with our morbid fascination for disasters? 😂

Fun fact Billy Owens was a book that actually pre dates Harry Potter. When Harry Potter started making movies the author of Billy Owens tried to sue J.K. Rowling for stealing her idea.

Mr. Amazed, on your 10th year anniversary here in YT, you gotta do a face reveal

Sophisticated video❕

the proper response was "tell you what, I know the way currents work. you can either let me get this trash where I want it to do my business or I take this outside your jurisdiction and dump every single bit of it so it washes up on your beaches. I can legally dump it if it's outside a certain radius. So choose wisely. let me recycle this stuff or wear it. "

They predicted the trash barge in Futurama. All we need to do is send it to space

Finally a video worth watching in this jungle full of junk videos🤦🏻‍♂️

it alredy sound crazy

We need a face reveal!!!

Islip is pronounced "I slip" not "is lip"

So soon

If we can turn out waste into clean energy, we'd be set for life since we're never going to stop making messes

Wow didn't know that I love you be amazed

This is the plot to The Transporter 3.

I Virginia Beach, they made a park on top of a landfill, Mount Trashmore, honestly.

yep you don't have to convince me twice because my two solid legs are staying on the ground

This is how I imagine a Texan youtuber sound like

He is the best

Definitely a waste problem. Those 7 bags of refuse don’t just go away. Although with the craziness going on in NYC, you never know. Although I’m thinking it’s probably doubled to 14 barges. We hear so much about methane gas and the atmosphere but I never hear these barges mentioned at all. Something that wasn’t brought up in the Amoco catastrophe is that the shock waves from the explosions probably didn’t help the fish and other underwater life. There are places where it’s against the law to use dynamite when fishing. Imagine the concussive force from the military explosions!

I'm the 123rd comment!!!!🎉🎉 How????!!!!!🎉

A grizzly weighs... weighs how much dude? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

me and my friend think that the ai voice is quite scary

What a trashy joke 🤣

19:34 Uh...I have no idea what that video clip is from, but...he's talking into the back of the mic 🤣 Maaaaybe don't use that clip anymore?

In 1989 I was working in San Francisco and a local guy was working with me and I asked him one day what is the name of that island way out there in the Pacific ocean, he laughed and said that is a trash barge going out to sea to dump it

1:26 the guy pooping💀💀
