SOMETHING SERIOUS - Half of those we've recovered I personally feel they could have escaped their vehicles if they had an emergency window breaker. I cannot unsee the things I've seen, but cannot show/share out of respect. For the love of your family and loved ones, please consider purchasing a 2-IN-1 EMERGENCY WINDOW BREAKER SEAT BELT CUTTER today. adventureswithpurpose.com/products/2-in-1-emergency-window-breaker
I have one on my key chain right now. Unfortunately my car doesn't actually have a key that goes into an ignition so I keep it in my pocket I can reach if my seat belt tightens up.
I get your statement for why you can't share such things. That being said you could always make video animations or use crash test dummies in a old scrap car and maybe do some video demonstrations of showing ways you've seen people trapped in cars and the best methods you can think of to escape said scenarios. I don't know I'm just spit balling an idea. That way you can share the information on car safty that you've accumulated over the years without actually having to show on a physical dead body.
Amazing what you guys do! If had millions I definitely help with state art technology and new bus for you guys! keep doing what you're doing u guys are angel's to these family's ☮️☮️☮️❤️
That aluminum trim panel at 6:06 is from a 1961 Impala. It's just trim that covers the steel dash between the steering wheel and the speedometer. Where it's broken is the ashtray opening. Only a '61 would have it because the dashboards were different in '60 and '62. To my knowledge it was only on Impala trim models not Biscayne's or Bel Air's.
And the bottle looked like a NEHI soda bottle clear glass 1960's. NEHI-Royal Crown had a franchise in El Paso until 2000. The glass makers at that time would have markings on the bottom with either a shield and the letter, "T" or a what looks like a tire with wings and the letter, "C" in the center. Neither glass maker used date codes until the late 1960's.
Just got done putting my AWP sticker on my car. I may not be able to do much monetary stuff but I sure do share the heck out of your videos. I put a picture of my AWP sticker on Facebook and couldn’t believe how many people said they follow your channel or have bought merchandise. Keep the movement going!!
I buy merchandise when I can too. Been a subscriber for 2 years & have plenty of stickers because they're inexpensive. I recently bought the window breaker tools. They're a good price.
Wow, this channel has changed. When I started watching this channel it was just Jared and his daughter picking up trash off the bottom of lakes. She's gotta be all grown up by now.
It's just absolutely incredible that you've found so many lost people, also that it seems so easy to make a mistake whilst driving and end up in deep water. Respect to you all.
Back in the early early 1900's. Like 1901 time period. Dari farms would only pop up by water sources like creeks and springs. They would have a concrete tub about 3ft tall and 6 ft long. Water would flow in one side and water would flow out the other side. This is how the would keep their milk good. By flowing cold water threw 20 bottles of milk. I'll bet you that's what the concrete tub was for.
You're not always gonna get a hit on all your dives but the fact that your out and looking and trying is great I applaud that much respect to you guys and good luck with future searches
The slimy thing was likely a fresh water bryozoan. It is a colony of organisms that attaches to piers and such, and also embeds in mud on the shore. When the lake gets extremely low in hot conditions they will wash up on shore. They look somewhat like a human brain but almost clear. First time I saw them out there I contacted several agencies including the Corps of Engineers and none of them had a clue what they were.
Just to be “that guy”, if the bottle was from the 60’s or early 70’s, chances are it was a returnable bottle and not a one time use bottle. You used to have to pay a deposit on bottles and trade them in for the bottles holding the next batch of drinks. Soda bottles, beer bottle, even one gallon glass milk jugs were reused that way. Edit: Those refillable bottles were sometimes used for decades until they looked bad from use or the beverage company redesigned the bottles and replaced them all. If that’s the case here, the date on the bottle could be years older than the approximate date the vehicle was submerged and thus would have no bearing on dating how long the car has been down there.
I just watched the video about the seatbelt cutter and window breaker, I immediately bought 5 for myself and family never know!!!! Thank u for helping all these families its heartbreaking and bittersweet!!!! 🙊😍💗💕
I know where this is...couple of cars were pulled out few years ago. Case has not been closed. I live right down the street from where y'all are. Sad case those cars have been in there since the 60s. This lake was a air force base long ago..history of Fort Worth. There is old buildings in the lake
I cant do a lot financially but i did order the seat belt/window breaker tool as a stocking stuffer for my kids and their spouses, my parents, and my closest friends this past christmas. I pray they never need to use them but have a sense of relief knowing they have the tool should the time ever come they need it.
I am so impressed with you people! I’ve been watching most of the day (with a 3 hour break for a music rehearsal) and what impresses me very deeply is seeing ALL OF YOU SCUBA GROUPS working together in harmony to find and clear all those vehicles from the water. I wish I could have been there to see it in person. I’m only half the width of Texas away(west) and I wish I could have watched it LIVE! Totally amazing!!
I love how much the World has gone bananas for you guys. It’s awesome! I remember when I was one of 1,000 subscribers and you guys were just pulling up random shit. The world is broken boys and we all need more good out there so keep it up. Keep changing lives for the better and we will keep viewing and donating.
Jacob found jelly balls. They are a good indicator of water quality. “These “jelly balls” are actually primitive colonial invertebrates known as bryozoa, or “moss animals.” The balls usually range from the size of a soft ball to as large as a basketball. Although they are strange to view, they are harmless to you and the organisms in your pond”
I enjoy watching your videos and glad to find a way to help - keep doing what you're doing - and finding answers for others. Thanks for your willingness to get into cold waters. :)
You guys actually inspired me to try getting into diving myself, I’m planning on getting my open water certification as soon as I can afford to. I’m still looking into it and researching it though. I deeply respect everything you guys do, even if i am on the other side of the ocean.
Yeah I’m in the U.K and we don’t really have any dangerous wildlife, especially since Im more interested in ponds, lakes and rivers anyway if I did get the opportunity to get the certification. Though there is hundreds of shallow shipwrecks around the U.K. from even the early 1600s that might be cool to checkout if given the opportunity.
@@fredthegamerschrarder7716 I'm a long time scuba diver, 12 years, and instructor. Sharks arent really concerned with you in water. I've dropped onto wrecks and seen sharks with 15 feet and they just look at you and swim off. Just get with a shop and get certified. My preference would be a RAID shop but just get you cert bro!
Guys, be safe, and thank you for all the diver teams that go up beyond the call of duty!! Just thankful all the RU-vid divers doing there part bringing love ones home and at the same time cleaning up the environment!! Love that you all work together, no ego!!!
I have subscribed by joining the channel too. I’ve also bought three of the window breaker tools for my family. I got a little something else for me too (lanyard and pins). I love what these guys do for everyone. Especially for the people who don’t have the means to be able to hire them. More people that have skills should do this too if they can. There are also RU-vid videos of landscapers that cut peoples grass, mostly either people in hospital, disabled people, and/or elderly people, and all for free. The world is a better place because of these wonderful people. Love everyone!
I bought a window breaker/belt cutter for myself and my other half. I put it on his keys myself and check regularly to make sure it’s still there. It is. I also bought a T-shirt I wear with pride. It’s crazy soft and such good quality for the price! Thank you for all you do!
I three quarters confirmed an order for '4 window breakers' for gifts today. The shipping costs were over $110 to the UK. I'll make a donation instead and source similar here. Sorry about that. Stay safe out there You're all doing Stirling work 💕
I'm guessing they have their site set to Priority Mail rates... First Class International should be around $40 (still pricey, but that's what USPS is charging these days).
@@Crazy-xw5dd That's an unkind comment. It's not a joke; it's just an error. There's an email address on their site where you could report this and ask for an invoice to be emailed to you with correct shipping. I run an e-commerce site, so I know how hard it to get web programs to calculate shipping correctly for all parts of the world. If you want to support them with a purchase, I'm sure they'd be happy to send you an invoice... Just I imagine you'd need to be a bit patient, since they're often on the road, doing good work. It might take a bit before they return and can pack an order manually.
@@eledatowle8767 sure, by the time export/import duties, taxes and postal services to UK are added it wasn't worth it. Not down to AWP , just wanted to support them. I don't even have a car right now 🙄
that would be nice. but I dont think they ever will. I do believe they were taken to houston for human trafficking. The sister threw that out there and it stuck with me. Sadly Julie was my cousin and just a baby. Such a high price to pay for a decision to go to the mall that day. Remember this was in the 70's when women were killed up and down I45. Caulder road
@@HellcatMad if you could reach out to me there is a Jane Doe that I believe You or Julis brother should submit DNA for and possible Renee’s family also. If you’re in the group you may have already seen it. Let me know thanks.
The only thing I can say about that is it could be where the truck mounts to pick it up and put it in the ground then gets sealed there has to be some how they get set in the ground but I'm just guessing
Almost all lakes in Texas are reservoirs. My guess is The concrete boxes are most likely remnants of cattle watering troughs that became covered with water when the reservoir was filled.
I emailed you guys about Paris Williamson, 33 yr old missing from Shelbyville, IN since Feb 1st 2022...her cars missing too & there's big blue river that runs through there & other bodies of water. Sad story...BEAUTIFUL, successful young woman.
Everyone needs window breakers. A 50 year old man missed his turn for the campground in Calhoun falls SC and Ga line. He accidentally drove straight into the lake. He called 911 saying he was trapped in his car and could not get out. Rescue did not reach him in time and he lost his life. This just happened this past Wednesday. Very very sad.
When are you guys going to upload the videos showing the recovery of Annie Hampton and Margaret Jan Smith? It's been awhile now since these cases were solved. Continue the great job you're doing to bring closure to these families.
I guess it would depend on the family, the editing process + time and on their upload schedule. It could always be that the family does not want it to be uploaded or that the recording files may have corrupted. It is more likely for the family to ask them not to upload it though. Perhaps if AWP goes live soon or has a Q&A you could ask them directly
Guys I absolutely love what you’re doing so much. I’m a retired UK 🇬🇧 cop and am even contemplating moving over to help investigate and research for you. I’ve just tried to buy a t shirt but the shipping to the UK is outrageous!! $25 a shirt and $95 dollars in shipping 😂 it’d be cheaper to hop a plane and buy one!!!! If you need a UK advocate to ship merchandise for you let me know!! Meanwhile keep up the fight for those whose voices are no longer heard , love you all especially Mika 😘
I have a window breaker. We have ads in Ireland about car crashes. One involves someone crashing in water and slowly drowning. Its nit graphic but the sounds stayed with me and i bought one and gift them to loved ones
There is a young man that has been missing in Clemson South carolina. His family and first responders are searching Lake Keowee. I know its a long shot, but im wondering if you all would help, or contact the clemson police department to assist
If you've never used a window breaker, you have to use the in a bottom corner or they don't usually work. It also takes a surprising amount of force to compress the internal spring; if you have weak pinch grip strength, you'll need to find an alternate way of using them. Maybe palm flat against the back. If you cut someone out with the cutter, cut diagonal across the straps. This is so investigators can tell the belt was cut and not shorn (sp?) during the impact.
So what I'm curious about is how cadaver dogs hit a spot and where exactly they hit. Cuz as far as I knew a scent is lost by water and this is one of the things people that do when they're running from the cops or you know how we see in movies they stick to water because water hides the scent. Does this change when the body is starting to decay???
It’s a large concrete box that a person could lay down in…. And you had cadaver dogs in the area… could it be burial vaults? Possibly formerly used vaults that were replaced at one point and whomever was in charge of getting rid of the other ones just dumped them there?
To understand the concrete boxes you first need to know there are no natural lakes in Texas. This lake bottom was once used for grazing. The concrete boxes are water troughs for whatever livestock grazed there before it became a lake bottom
You guys are awesome!! I would absolutely looooove to do what y’all do! I watch every video I can find of y’all’s and would love to buy a shirt and window breaker soon!! God bless you guys!
I have the 2-in1 seatbelt cutter and tempered glass breaker. I also gave one to my dad who is 74 or 75. His brain still works but his vision is going south.
Yes. This is an army corp of engineers lake. “Construction of Benbrook dam began in May 1947, and was practically completed when floodgates were closed and deliberate impoundment was begun in September 1952.” There is a section in the local cemetery where graves were relocated prior to the lake being “impounded”.
I love you guys. But. Who did the music? I decided to listen alone since hubs is busy. It felt like a scary movie! Awesomeness. I also love how you’re always willing to teach something Jared. I can’t wait till y’all finish the competition. Whoo Hoo!
why you dont do industrie foam in the air hoses from the boat - never pump and unsinkable - and in front two rubber rings for the divers for waterdriving as the SEALS
Hey guys Been watching for awhile and I wanted to suggest you guys look good when your wide eyed and innocent. I'm sorry for the new direction with Doug trying to sleuth things out. I'm not sure guessing about the probabilities of someone's demise is a good look. The speculation about what happened is too much on screen. Like Doug and Jared. Love the program good luck Bill
I know exactly where this is on Benbrook - we paddle and sail right through there if we use that put-in. That cove to the east often has fish in the spring and summer. The "concrete boxes" were to be used for a pier on the lake, back when it was first being impounded in the 1950s. The pilings were put in for the pier, but it was either never completed, or was destroyed/disposed of at some point. On the shore above the white limestone layer, you can see the big concrete pillars with the iron hinge parts on top. Those would have been for the walkway to the pier, connecting to a building above the water. There is a lot of broken-up asphalt up there as well, from a road or parking lot that was made, but then was abandoned. The lake is a Army Corp of Engineers lake, and there are no houses or private land ownership at the shore. I supposed that there were plans for a park or entertainment center at Longhorn Park, and the boat put-in and ramp were a part of that, but it's the only part that survived. I've been on this lake since the 1980s, and these have been there for as long as I can remember. I'm surprised that a car would be there, as there is no easy way for a car to get there. I suppose it could have floated away from the boat put-in, drifted at the surface, out, and then the wind pushing it to the south, but it is a bit of a distance from the put-in cove. If it's a very old car dating from the 1960s, it could have been driven to the edge where the pier was supposed to be, where the asphalt remnants are, went into the water, an floated out. The location looks right for that, especially when the water is high. Right now, the water level is quite low, so the white limestone is exposed. When the spring rains fill the lake, the water level can easily reach the top of the white limestone or higher. In the past, ligher lake levels would have made it easier to get a car that far out, with enough speed. Now? There is no way for a car through the trees, nor to get enough speed to jump over the rocks without smashing and breaking apart.
I'm curious if while searching for a particular person, they've ever had an unexpected find.. Of someone else. I love what they do... Sending love from Dubai
It's so tragic that so many folks loved ones have been missing , in some cases decades, & all the time family are passing them on a daily basis. In some cases family know there's a good chance they're there. That'd never happen here. They'd at least send a diver to allay the families fears. But I live in a different place. My country govt will pay for it. Its all different in states.
