Something TERRIFYING Happened To This Submarine 

For sure 🧠

The five guys titanic doordash?

No, my mind was brought to arc survival after I saw your profile

no shit.

Actually the Kursk is always the first thing that comes to mind when I see or hear "submarine", and was this time as well, even though I've watched a ton of this year's sub disaster coverage.

It's like Moby Dick, but a metal whale.

Seems kinda ridiculous a military training exercise being run in a populated area

Why would you run an exercise on easy mode. The hard part is avoiding boats

@@Terszel Yeah, it seems like a poorly thought out exercise, however, tragic as it was, it's a learning experience. Piloting a sub around fishing vessels... you need to avoid the nets. The solution they apparently used was just to stay out of the fishing area.

It happened regularly around the British coastline. Fishing boats being dragged down by their nets by subs....

Wow. I'm so sorry for your loss and the impact it had on your family. Thank you for sharing your story.

@@ScaryInteresting Thank you. I truly appreciate and love your channel 🙏🏻♥️

Ur Granddad was a hero who gave his life in service to his country. As a veteran, im proud to call him my brother N arms.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for his service and sacrifice; and the sacrifice your family has endured.

@@outlawandoutdoorstv9901 Thank you so much for your service 🙏🏻

Interesting (though terrible in its effect).

Scary

And the filters were supposed to be removed before going to sea.

Thank you - I was about to comment this very fact. The US nuclear sub whose cause for sinking is still unknown is the USS Scorpion - it hasn't been determined if it was an accidental torpedo explosion or hydrogen explosion during a battery charge.

Yep, im a US Sub Sailor and thats exactly what happened. I believe this was before they started using dessicant for the high pressure air lines. All subs use dessicant now to absorb any moisture that might be in the HPA lines because of what happened to the Thresher.

THIS!!!!! EXACTLY THIS!!!!! Guy just fucking said nothing like a moron.

Thank you!

Thank you. The channel made itself look non-credible by being vague on something that should have been detailed. The way it was presented made it sound like an urban legend instead of something with a grain of truth to it.

Thank you... can't believe he went to all the effort to make this video just to state "the submarine"... a little more information would've been nice lol

Brick Immortar does a FANTASTIC job on this topic, among many others. I quite enjoy this creator, as he seems like a less-technical version of Brick. If you’d like a more in depth look, it’s definitely worth the time!!!

Came here to say this

I'm a US Sub sailor myself, albeit many years ago and we were told the same info about Thresher also, which in turn was the development of the " Subsafe" program .

RIP to your family member... I'm sorry that he lost his life like that.

🙏🌹

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. (Now prepare for the trolls to come in and say you’re lying. 🙄🙄)

💚

Yes, what should have been acted upon were the activities of any known vessels in their working area. It should have been explicitly known about the surrounding fishing vessels and the potential hazards which anyone might engage, which would or will result in possible disaster.

i cant understand how the additional load goes unnoticed

@@jnawk83 i know right 😂 dragging a fishing boat under water got to create allot of drag

@@silentdeath7847 I'm surprised that the trawl line is that strong and the structure of the boat didn't even break. Such well made boat, its probably still catching fish to this day, even after it catched the biggest "fish" in the oceans.

Well, of course. When does the military ever admit to being in the wrong?

It's almost like every government has its own corruption. Just goes to show people will generally take advantage of others given the chance. Sad.

​@@peytonmac1131ever consider the boat had no idea it had even happened until someone started bitching about it? Modern missile boats weigh thousands of tonnes. Wouldnt even notice nets.

The British view anyone with good teeth with hatred. Probably why they didnt stop, tea time beckons. E

​@@user-oz2fu9lm3bhave you ever been outside your parents' basement?

For him to do that he is a Hero. For you to mention it instead of talk crap to people like me for mentioning it....well. It must mean you're a god. Also it's F*****G annoying to no end when people post videos with translated subtitles instead of having them audibly translated even with the stupid free robot voice. Especially the billion dollar companies like News or Nat'Geo' or whatever. I can't stand that.

their new Scary Interesting Podcast is great for this! the stories don't rely on maps and diagrams and are just as intriguing as the yt channel. highly recommended if you haven't downloaded them already.

Look up ocean gyres. Not really eddies, more of a stable whirl, but much larger. As example: The gulf stream flows up north on the north american atlantic coast, transitions into the north atlantic current and crosses the ocean eastwards. One arch twists off and flows south along Spain and Africa as canary current, at the equator it turns west again as north equatorial current to return to the gulf. Basically one large circle the size of an ocean.

You should have seen the eddies my last girlfriend made sitting herself in the bath tub... quite terrifying. But, boy she could yodel.

the dangers of the sea. Submarines can't see what's out there very well, and especially nets are almost impossible to detect. There was no way for them to know the nets were there, and their passive sonar set would not have given them more than a rough estimate of where the fishing boats were. Due to the trawling pattern, it was also not known to the submarine that there were more than 2 fishing boats out there, so when they saw 2 of them they thought nothing of it as old nets float into the paths of ships all the time, causing problems that often require divers to go into the water and cut away the nets.

it happens. though prob more so around places like the uk where narrow passages are used by both fishermen and submarines.

That you would cjhose to believe the crew of a navy submarine would be reckless and dangerous is, in itself, dissappointing. That young officer in tempory command of the submarine may well have ended his career. Did he do anything reckless? ...Dangerous? I don't think so. It would appear he did all possible due diligence for the safe operation of his vessal.....But, he didn't see what could not be seen. A tragedy all the way around.

if you are able to (I've never been able to)

Then maybe coming shark... just stay on land

@@lydiaspiros3987 I really hate water in the ears, but after that, I'm fine. The part I struggled with in the beginning is that the hips have to be forward enough. Saltwater is also more buoyant, which helps.

​@@lydiaspiros3987 do you have low body fat %?

Hypothermia would likely get you anyway.

I guess the greater the risks, the greater the potential hazards; irrespective of how confident you are. Discretion is the better part of Valor.

I’m glad you mentioned the gas bubble thing. If the methane release is large enough, it completely compromises a ships buoyancy and as long as the ship remains in that tunnel of gas from the ocean floor, it will continue to fall like a stone; faster than it would sink if it were just inundated with water. It would likely seem otherworldly to anyone who didn’t have any knowledge of this phenomenon. No doubt it was as terrifying as it was deadly. God bless those souls lost as sea!

Nightmare stuff!

The "ship travelling next to it" would be more concerned by the Megalodon that had come up with the methane.

@@krashd now you escalated the situation. One ship drops like a rock, the next is eaten by a meg, and what next? The ship following them hits a time vortex?

Yes, I loved that too! Even though I was watching. Great for people with vision impairments too!

I watch these while falling asleep weirdly enough…

I second that! I am also an artist and I also love listening to these while painting!!

I work a very repetitive factory job and also want to say thanks for the image descriptions. I’m not supposed to be ‘watching’ anything to begin with, but audio is fine.

It's been on the list for a while, but I think there are already far better videos out there on the incident. It just happened to compliment this set of stories as a brief overview

@@ScaryInteresting Yeah, we'll probably never know for sure. I personally suspect Thresher was lost because a problem got improperly diagnosed. IE what they thought was minor... wasn't.

@@marhawkman303 I think it's simply how it was communicated. You'd rather want to call the problem "minor" initially until you know the full extent of it instead of calling it "a major problem", then finding out it was not that bad and later being nicknamed Captain Chickenheart or something. "Attempting to blow" is actually a clear indication that they knew rather well the problem was far from being minor. Blowing main ballast tanks is an emergency procedure and you don't do it for just a minor problem, but it is believed that the failure of the ballast tank blow system was what really screwed them over, resulting in "substantial redesign of submarine emergency blow systems by the United States Navy".

Actually, what I have been wondering about Thresher is why they wouldn't carry out initial dive tests in an area where the ocean depth doesn't exceed crush depth, just in case. It would've worked as a fail-safe, dropping to the sea floor in a survivable depth would've given the crew those extra minutes they needed to fix the problem.

​@TTFerdinand Exactly my thought as well. For initial tests, conduct the dives in shallow water so in case anything bad happens, they'd only be in water with maximum approximately 1000 feet deep, so that if they lost all ballast control, at worst, they'd settle on three sea floor below at 1000 feet or whatever, making rescue much easier and thus crew survival likelihood much higher. Why the navy thought it smart to do this initial test in 12,000 feet of open ocean, with no floor to stop the Thresher from sinking miles down, seems really stupid in hindsight.

There’s another commenter whose grandfather was also present there. You two should speak.

i listened to an interview with an HMS Belfast crewman describing the sinking of the scharnhorst and the horror he describes of the ship alive in flames made him feel pity for the enemy as that wasn't a death he wished upon anyone. there was also a british submarine that sank in the thames estuary as they didn't have DSV's at this point all the crew could do was wait for the air to run out and suffocate to death. that is true horror.

@@a.evelyn5498this dude is obviously lying for internet points

@@gregorturner4753 You've mixed up two disasters there. HMS Truculent sank in the Thames estuary but the majority of fatalities were hypothermia caused by the crew abandoning the sub before help arrived. HMS Thetis sank in Liverpool docks and over 100 crew and shipbuilders suffocated when the second person to use the one-man airlock panicked and drowned leaving no other way for people to escape safely.

Sorry for your loss

Peasants don't deserve the warning... our lives are meaningless to our overlords and their minions.

You mean something like... *"On the following date(s) the Royal Navy will be carrying out training at the following co-ordinates. PS. If you are Russian please forget you read this"*

Which ocean are you near? Pacific? Atlantic?

@@Habanero_Chi Pacific; I'm not familiar with Atlantic survival tactics, haha.

@@raeoverhere923 That’s interesting that you mention survival tactics for the Atlantic. I never realized just how different the Pacific and Atlantic are; and now I can see how they may be different.

@@Habanero_Chi Having never been to the east coast, it's hard to tell how similar or different they are, but the coastline where I live is rocky and cold, and is on a shark migration route. I've always heard the Atlantic is a little more placid, and even a little warmer than the Pacific, but I bet up in the northeast, the ocean acts much more like it does here.

I can relate to that first hand. Having escaped with my life by the skin of my teeth, a few times. Though being a less than average swimmer. Water gives life and lots of water will take it right back. Finally I'll add , there is no problem until you discover you're hip deep in a disaster and you may not have a second to spare; or less.

Why on Earth would anyone in a perfectly good sub trigger an emergency blow? Correct, the sub was not perfectly good and neither of us knows why.

You ever watched "Down periscope"? I like the scene where the engine guy tapes a string across the two walls as they're doing a depth test dive, the string is sagging more and more from the walls being squeezed together from the pressure. And that was in a WW2 sub, and the deepest that one could safely go was only around 600 feet near the of the war. Now they dive to 1,600 feet - that's what the unclassified depth is anyway. My scariest moment on a surface ship was going 300 miles off course to avoid a hurricane, got caught between two of them. I'm standing in the engine room, with one foot on the deck the other on the bulkhead, watching the inclinometer (a little pendulum that measures the roll degree of the ship) that has a red mark at the 63° mark, the terminal roll point - hit that and we're belly up, and the pointer is sitting there vibrating at the 62.25° line for about 5 seconds. You have NO idea how long 5 seconds is.

Down Periscope is an excellent documentary ​@@longbowshooter5291

Thanks for watching!

Get back to work! what's this "off" stuff??!

cute kitty

Yeah, naming a boat Charybdis was just tempting fate.

Ironic af

The H. M. S. Charybdis was a Royal Navy vessel, a Leander-class frigate, not a fishing boat. They were there to play sub-killer as part of the exercise and assisted with the search and rescue attempt afterward. I'd suspect that's why they were named th Charybdis in the first place - the all-devouring demigod is a pretty intimidating name for a warship. Sadly it was sunk in 1993 for target practice, having been in service a little under 30 years.

@@ArchTeryx00 for sure. But in hindsight it was a poor choice.

It was fitting.

They need a no-go zone for military exercises like this, there is one in local waters for live fire exercises which all local boaters stay well clear of.

Obviously, no, they can't go anywhere else - it's UK territorial waters, there is less chance of having unwelcome "spectators". The RN should perhaps have blocks of time where no fishing is permitted there, because they may be earning their living, training to protect this country from hostile powers. It hasn't been the last such incident, trawlers have been pulled for miles by unknown submarine vessels - and the RN have said it wasn't them who was responsible. So who else is prowling round the UK coast?

There was at least one other incident. Another boat was dragged along about 15 years ago but the Navy claims it was a whale. The skipper of the fishing vessel thinks that's BS.

Generally there are 'no-go zones' for fishing vessels and civilian vessels..the zones are common knowledge and marked on navigation maps. Case in point..near Hawaii a civilian tourist ship went into an area specifically designated a no-go zone due to submarine training and evolutions in that area..yet the captain decided to go in that zone in hopes of letting tourists get pics of a sub doing an emergency surface..the sub surfaced and slammed right into the civilian ship sinking and killing several passengers....So who to blame? The Navy doing training in area exclusive to the submarines in order to maintain safety? Or blame the captain of the civilian ship who knowingly went into a hazardous and dangerous area of the ocean?.

obviously this is different, but in the US they tend to have a small fast surface boat working kinda like a sheep herding dog and shooing all the fishing vessels and otherwise away. Source is I often fish in a body of water where there's lots of submarines!

Yea. Like where I used to go deerstalking, serene.

That's what I initially thought where that was going

Imagine being on the ship 😬

@@2FRESH-4U No thanks o.O

Forget bout it!!!

I was a rescue swimmer in the navy and we did a little practice using the j davit in the middle of the Indian Ocean. I was swimming in the most beautiful water then tried to focus on something really deep ( never saw it, probably a fish) but all of a sudden I got so scared. Like claustrophobic but opposite too much for me to comprehend. I just stared at the dummy concentrated and hyperventilated all the way back to the ship. It took a long time to tell someone but then found out it wasn’t uncommon at all. I didn’t get to the flying part. Maybe if I hadn’t panicked.

Reading your comment, u made my imagination wonder. I know there is all kinds of terrifying sea creatures somewhere in the deep, dark, abyss. What do u think this massive creature is? A shark? Octopus? Squid?

@@KrystleDeLosReyes kraken, 100%. Or megalodon close second.

You describe the feeling perfectly! That's exactly how I felt the first time, and every time since! It's magical!

season of discovery hype

GIBRALTARRR!!!

Well, it was the cold war, so of course they were always carrying nukes. Unless they were only attack pure attack submarines to attack other subs, all Soviet subs were always carrying nukes. But the position would only be odd. If the sub was REALLY not supposed to be in that area. The Russian would never ever admit that they were maybe trying to spy on Pearl Harbor or get close to itso they would of course deny it. Even if they knew the sub was supposed to be in the general area. And with no constant communication it's quite possible that the sub might have had technical difficulties (with it's communications) and continued it's journey for a while before it sunk due to another technical problem. The Kursk sunk due to a faulty torpedo during an exercise. So K-129 having a similar fate is plausible. They were on a mission to spy near Pear Harbor maybe to look on where would be the perfect spot to launch nukes in case of a full scale war. They had a problem before or after they completed the mission to spy. - communication failed -They tried to get back home Because what else could they do ? Surface and wait for the Americans to come and help them and spy a bit on the sub ? - propulsion still worked so the CO ordered the ship to head home submerged since the problem appears to be under control albeit damaged. - the problem got bigger or the propulsion failed. - problem is so severe that the sub can't surface any longer - sub sinks below crush depth - Soviet navy has no clue where exactly the sub is since they lost contact with the sub for quite some time and they are looking at the wrong place And they can't confess to the Americans that the sub might be mich much closer to Hawaii. So they look on the wrong spot hoping that they sub would be there to prevent any shame in front of the US. So a sort of similar chain of events as the Kursk. I don't think that "red star rogue" was accurate. K-219 K-141 Ans USS Thresher proved that defects do sink subs.

I don't think they would have had enough time to go crazy.

It's funny how we just can't pull away from things that truly terrify us.

This isn't physically possible btw. For one 300ft is far into narc territory and 200ft below decompression depth. In addition, a full breath hold at 300 ft will kill you by 250ft most likely. 50ft of air expanding in your lungs if you took the air at pressure or the immediate compression of 300 ft from no compression would make your full breath nearly nothing. It's hard to get from 30ft to the surface on a single breath and it's definitely not something you would train to do. if they said 30 ft it's possible but not 300. that's 100M and you'd be very positively buoyant which would accelerate the decompression issues. Even if you made it to the surface alive you'd die from the bends. For example when technical divers exceed 100ft they usually don't use regular air, they switch to nitrox or a trimix including helium to avoid narcosis and to keep their PO2 from exceeding 1.6 max.

@@jerryinsc that’s what it was! Thanks for the reminder

Might need to work on your listening skills mate, that wasn't the US Navy in the last story, it was the British Navy

Or that the cable or ropes would break, jesus thats horrible. I read another comment that they were pulled under in 17 seconds, thats so fast you cant do anything wow 😔
