- Video of an extraordinary recovery operation of a tanker truck from 1300ft/350 meters deep in the Robson Bight Ecological Killer Whale Reserve, North of Vancouver Island
Good job Mammoet. One hell of a team of engineers providing once in a lifetime equipment for a very tricky salvage operation. Well done!
Big thanks to the Dutch for their wealth of intellect and skills in designing, fabricating and implementing these complex giant recovery systems. To all the Dutch, go on ya mates!
Craigslist.
Tanker truck , low hours. Has seen a bit of salt water but still good runner’ no low balls. I know what I have.
how did truck get down there
lmao, you forgot the fact that it has a full tank of fuel XD
@@randomrazr Is....Is this a joke?
@@alexandercurtis4427 i must have missed that part. how did it
@@randomrazr A barge hauling that and some logging equipment capsized
What's with the frantic editing and over-the-top music? Is this Dog the Bounty Hunter?
Stopped watching. I thought this was a serous documentary. Instead it's just trash slapped together by a high school student.
it's a US style of production.
Watch CIB videos
Someone say Dog? Guys a fkn joke. Freakin mullet in 2020. Mullets were a mistake in the 80's. Today? Bwahahaha lolololol

Ever since I stopped watching TV and watch UA-cam instead, I just cannot watch these broken up programs with lame music and frantically changing screen shots. Leave the low IQ programming for Television.
This is the very reason for my UA-cam Premium subscription.
I've been enjoying the mammoet salvage vids from around the world and it's only this one from north America that's been bastardized to the point of annoyance.
Okay
Agree. They can shorten them by half with out the rehashing.
You do realize this was filmed for TV and just uploaded here, right?
I can't stand the format of these modern documentaries. The shot changes every 1 to 1/2 seconds like their making it for someone with ADD and they spend 99% of the time with everyone standing around talking and building up the drama. Then when they bring the truck up you see it for about a total of 5 seconds before the show ends.
This is just a ridiculous commercial.
Well people can't go down 350 m so what do you suggest they do? Let's see your videography skills. If you can do so much better please give us the links to your ultra professional productions. Seems like your only skills are talking shit about others work. Not anything that literally any moron couldn't do. The job these people had was to recover the lube chest and the fuel tanker without spilling and contaminating the water. They did that job well. The video was to showcase their competency not to entertain and impress you. What have you done in your life that nobody else has done?
The fish swimming while putting the pin in made me laugh.
Managers.
In the 1970's I recall that Jacques Cousteau had a similar problem while filming underwater. A large, friendly Grouper kept getting in the way of camera shots. It was like the fish wanted to be the star of the movie!
Must've been a catfish, they always get in the way with their curiosity ;)

The first person on the video is Dr Paul Spong who is a world renowned Orca researcher and runs Orca Lab on Hansen Island in this reserve. You can find their work here on you tube, additionally, they have several hydrophones setup that are accessible via internet for public listening. The Northern Resident Killer whale Pod ( Orca) has about 120 resident Orca and are a unique Clan that eat only fish. Robson Bight is a rubbing beach with small pebbles these Orca use to clean themselves - it is the only rubbing beach of its kind, and off limits to people and boaters. There are films here on you tube showing the whales rubbing and scraping through it... Super cool. Great job Canada and Mammoet .
Thank you! They ARE Orcas, but calling them killer whales sounds so much more intimidating, eh?
Impressive job...
So many filmmakers these days with an opinion...
“editing garble garble gable... music garble garble garble”.. not everyone can be as good as you all... you’re just lucky. Send in a application and get a joby job... I can’t wait to see your work!!!
The fancy editing is very annoying.
Agreed, gave me a headache and had to stop watching at 2:53
Editing very good
Nothing fancy about it. Terrible continuity. Watch when they lift that container, sometimes the slidey booms are on, sometimes not. I'd rather chew my own foot off than have my name appear as editor on that.
"Fancy" 😆
Why don't they just say that it took the government bureaucrats two years to sign off the paperwork and about two weeks to get the equipment in place and do the actual job.
More like who’s insurance is going to pay for this?
Bravo! Professionals at work with professional results! We definitely owe all of you a beer!
....splendid job! Our global response to environmental challenges, may be "too little, too late" but I am encouraged to see an international team help to clean up such a tricky mess. Gives me a little hope. Cheers and Thank you!
I will jump on the band wagon, horrible editing, come on 2 years of planning. It's a truck, not Trudeau's Foot hold on Canadians slipping away.
It’s a truck holding fuel. You have obviously never been on a salvage operation. That shit is harder than it looks
Dude... I know I'm late here... but you just won the internet for a LONG time with that gem.
You must have said this before he used covid to become a tyrant
Amazing process, horrible video editing.
Crap editing! two years of planning and each scene was 3-5 seconds long. I get dizzy from switching scenes so fast. By the time I could get orientated to an underwater scene, we are back topside looking at someone's face.
Danny Holt I didn't notice it until I saw your comment for fuck sakes
yeah someone gotta bitch about something !
you're right, unfortunately is the terrible reality tv shit style...
Danny Holt: Producers, directors, and editors started that crap in 1998 because some group of dummies decided Millennials have a short attention span of 3-5 seconds because thatvis the average time between their clicks on the computer.
I agree, Danny. But, still, only so much vid time and quite a bit to see. so, has to be some editing- I'd like to see better, though. This kind of editing is all the rage lately. I'm more oriented to the equipment and engineering, and do not give a rip about the crew smiling and high-fiving over simply accomplishing their job correctly. Milestones are nice to achieve, but, what did they expect was going to happen...just what they planned to happen. Do they get all down and sour when things go wrong? No, they get a solution, fix the problem and go on. When the job is fin, then go have a Guinness and do the back slapping-
I want to see what the truck looked like after being brought to shore.
That was awesome to see...kept me on the edge the entire time! 😳 Thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to say to the guy's who did this job WELL DONE...
ALL THIS. DID`NT EVEN GET TO SEE THE TRUCK.
it was s1700 international no big deal pos
Big D the tow guy Still wanted to see the truck. Poor film production.
because it had holes and no fuel left in it.
You would think a truck enthusiast or International would want it for marketing etc.
Not many trucks around that fall all that way and survive.
Think distance of falling and not water etc.
Quite a marketing angle for some one.
Perhaps the salvagers will use it that way !
Interesting to see what's happened to it !
That’s what I was thinking. They didn’t even say if there was fuel in the truck or the container. I’d think it’s all gone. There is no way it’s all sealed up and lasted all the time
i wanted to get a good look at the truck.
And how much fuel and oil was actually recovered.
charles harper I doubt any at all, otherwise they would have said, I suspect they were both empty that's why there was virtually nothing shown of either vessel.
@@johnfisher747 According to the Living Oceans website: www.livingoceans.org/initiatives/ocean-planning/victories/fuel-truck-successfully-raised-robson-bight
"In May the fuel truck with all 10,000 litres of diesel was successfully recovered from Robson Bight."
Me as well.
@Dr Earnhardt Me too......
Great job !! The fish 'helper' was cute too. haha Your crew is awesome !
you did a awesome job I love the idea of a box covering was brilliant again GREAT JOB
Indeed, that was an extraordinary recovery, and very well done. Interesting as can be
Tanker was really trucked up, man. Good job; that was trucking awesome. Cheers!
"Somebody took the pin!"
It's 300 meters deep...
He meant aquaman 🤣
Ariel found another whosit and whatsit
Came looking for this comment :P
I blame it on the killer whales, they're gonna bash someones head in with it
Aqua man
Now get the truck started. Dry it down,change fluids and it will go. Be a kinda special truck,monument to responsibility.
That is a joke right? That engine will never run again.
+Alex Castleton of course it will! Why would it not? Clean it our and refresh fluids and it will go,no worries! I got an excavator that was underwater for at least five years in a quarry going. Truck engines well made and very tough .
+Andrew Wilson that engine will be rusted solid. That would take a full engine rebuild to get that running again.
+Alex Castleton it won't be rusted too bad,water very cold and low in oxygen. The lubricants in the engine will protect it from corrosion. If the owners are reading this then I am prepared to pack my tools and get the truck started and running in one week. Make a good UA-cam film?
+Andrew Wilson it would make a good magic trick. Theres no way that engine is running again without the cylinders being rebored and the piston rings changed at least.
In the first minute of this over edited video, A commenter says that within a couple of hours the surface of the water was completely covered in diesel and the fumes were so heavy that people were getting physically ill. That truck was not a threat to the environment after a couple of days. All the diesel simply floated out the vent at the top of the tank.
If you listened they said it was lubricating oil.
lol likewise if you listened you would have heard him say it was a fuel truck and a cube of lubricating oil (a skid with a permanent tank on it)
People getting physically ill from the diesel fumes. First off.... pussys! Never seen people getting sick from diesel fuel. Go poke your head in an aircraft fuel tank and see how it strikes you. Probably over dramatized bullshit by the sound of it. Plus I don't see hoards or even a few people likely around when It occurred. Im fine with being environmentally conscious and cleaning up accidents but putting the vegetarian, tree hugging queefbag in front of the camera is never a good idea.
mytmousemalibu Aircraft use paraffin ..... diesel fumes are terrible, I know having worked in plenty of ships engine rooms .... tree hugging ? Vegetarian? What the fuck are you talking about ? This is a salvage operation
The Truck and Storage cube weren't the ONLY things that sank, but they WERE the only things that did have a large known sealed volume of fuel/oil in them, fumes and oil after the accident were possibly from other equipment and/or the truck's own engine fuel tanks which indeed are vented to outside air. A fuel truck's fuel tank does not have an "open" vent or else the fuel would spray out every time it sped up, braked to stop, or drove up a steep hill!
Parabéns pela competência!
Do yourself a favor, fwd to 20:54, that way you avoid 20 minutes of over dramatic music, crap editing and scene cutting.
No fucking shit. I did exactly that till 19 something and already I'm ready to fire every one of them fuckers cause I'm already aggravated.
But also remember, these programs are intended for basic people with basic mentality. They thrive on the bullshit.
Absolutely fantastic to watch and great work to save the waters for miles and miles around so the wildlife are safe from oil pollution and Vancouver island the Europeans have done it again.
Neat rig. Shame they didn't get the truck engine drained and filled up with new fluids quickly after it landed on deck. I bet for sure the venerable DT466 would have run. Best engine ever made for medium duty trucks.
Wish I worked for Mammoet. Such amazing stuff they all do, fantastic skill sets.
Have or get the skills and apply. Give it a shot.
They all started somewhere-and they gotta hire someone. Do what you need to do to be that someone including cold calling marine salvage companies and asking them what skills they’re looking for and if they can suggest where you might acquire them.
That’s what I did and it worked. Male or female, they don’t care: If you can do the job well and consistently, that’s what any employer-and especially your team members-want and need. You’re not only in the business of salvage but *equally* in the business of risk management. Good luck.
At 2:46 the dry erase board says “That’s what she said”!!!
Nice catch.
This was Awesome!! Great job
Honestly the editing and music were dope. Great work all around.
2 years of planning? that's funny.Sound's like a government job.
1.Hook to crane
2. Lift
3.Milk 2 years worth of pay over thinking the shot out of it.
1. Hook to crane
2. Lift
3. Milk it for 2 years
Justine-Paula Robilliard I’d like to see you think of a better way without having seen this
This all came about because a corporate robot used awful old equipment with only small or non-existent oversight and now a government had to pay the only people that could salvage and they had to do it with custom designed and built machines for the very first time. $$$$$$$
just another dutch treat! as always spot on, and well done!
How much$ to salvage truck full of sea water?
How much fuel was recovered from the tank?
awesome work!
Hot battery , engine flush etc and the ole corn binder will be ready to roll again 👍
amazing work by all,,,, crane driver got some great skill
Goed bezig Jeroen!
Whatever company did this Documentary, this is some of the most horrid editing I have ever seen. You probably had dozens of hours of film, and someone decided that 22 mins HAD to be the length??? About 3/4 of what I REALLY needed to see to make sense of all of this film is on the editing room floor.
If ever a Doc needed a narrator it was this one too. The repeated flashing of Black screen and White screen to make some kind of dramatic point? SUPER irritating when all we want is to see details. I am shaking my head at whomever OK'd this to be released to the public.
On the opposite side though, the camerawork and audio was first rate. Whomever was directing on the ship after the filming started, you did an amazing job. What a totally unsatisfying doc.
22 mins is standard for a 30 minute time slot on tv, when you add in commercials.
Way to go boys! Fantastic job without losing a drop! That’s what we all work for execution perfection!❤️🇺🇸
NEXT TIME, on Fuel Truck Salvage:
Oh, -beep-! -beep-! *Splash*
*Yesch, hello? We are going to need a bigger boksch!.... About the schize of our boat..."
wow this youtube channel is a live saving moment! saving the whales see the whales do their things boats come in and a the water is back on track thank you for your help to safe our earth from getting dirty and safe water :)
One long infomercial for the salvage company.
I believe the people of BC
...SHOULD BE THANKING YOU for your service. Not the other way around. Why are YOU thanking the people who YOU just got through helping. That's what's wrong with this world.. you do a job hired for pay. . And then have to say thank you when you finish working? This subtle and passive dismissal of labor is shamefull
a rock & roll edit ? are you kidding ?
thank you very much.
Excellent video , really well produced. Amazing engineering. After watching this I had no doubt you were going to succeed , you had every possible issue covered and proved you could adapt to the changing conditions
More irrelevant jump cuts than a slasher movie... this video is about 10 times as long as it needed to be...hehehe.
Bet you just about lost your mind waiting for that giraffe to poop out it's baby.
Great job to all involved.
i was on the edge of my seat great job guys dam that was smooooooooth !!!!! but 2 years lmfao
Outstanding job . looks fun
The truck was like "Bight, Imma Head out"
A first rate company! Nice job!
Cool video. Thanks
It took them 2 years to plan THIS?
Kraken Fodder I also loved the "this was a huge disaster" idea...soooo you waited two years to address it? Wth?
You also think calling 911 means help arrives immediately right?
Kraken Fodder there is alot of planning and consideration that needs to go in these jobs so yes 2 years seems pretty bloody good fucktard
the environmental impact statement took 18 months to prepare.
Takes 2 years of people breaking balljoints and struts on their cars/trucks just to get the city to patch a pothole here in Pa.
Two years of planning? It's a truck, not the Titanic...
Its a fuel truck loaded with 5000 gallons of diesel. They have to be precise and careful. Any mistake will be a disaster for the environment.
@@jaseun1 And it had been in the water for something like 7 years.
A crane truck toppled onto it's side in Pearl Harbor and I suggested using a tugboat's winch to pull it back upright. Instead months went by before another larger crane arrived to do the job. Nobody gives a shit about: 1) keeping it simple - the crane truck was totaled so it hardly mattered how rough it was handled 2) The pier would have been cleared up in a couple of days after taking the truck apart.
The container is still in our yard, reused as an oil containment building
Did it get left here on Vancouver Island or did they take it back to the Edmonton yard?
I was working in Edm for one of Mammoet's rigging suppliers at the time of this salvage, I saw a few pieces of our gear being used on the barge.
The box is pointless. Could of been done with out
@@660hpCamaro the box was for oil containment. With the truck in the box and oil and fuel being lighter than water anything being released would float to the top of the box to be pumped out prior to being lifted clear of the water surface
That's pretty neat :) I had never heard of this incident before.
How the Dutch always be there when something needs to be "Transported" :D
what about the other logging equipment like the skidder? if they spent this much money and time and effort and salvage equipment, why not recover the other machinery
Yeah im sure with an overhaul it probably could of even been running again ha
the salvage shown here is 100% professional and very well done. That said, I am concerned for the environment but I question the value. How much hydrocarbons were introduced into the air to save how much fuel oil? i'd hazard a guess all the support ships and equipment during this operation burned more petroleum products than the tank they recovered...st a thought.
You have to remember the damage from direct water pollution is worse than air pollution, especially in a wildlife preserve frequented by endangered Killer Whales. Though your point stands for other less sensitive areas.
Awesome job guys
Interesting that at a depth of 350M (@1150 feet) and with a hydrostatic head at that depth of @ 510 psi, that neither the tank, the fuel tank(s) on the truck, or the 'oil cube' collapsed.
It's actually because of the fuel that it didn't collaspe. Fuel is incompressible, and it's for that reason that deep diving Bathyscaphes are filled with fuel to be both lighter than water and withstand pressure.
Diesel is very compressible, I mean, a diesel engine ignites diesel with compression to generate heat. I was asking the same question , since fuel tanks are only pressure tested at something like 10 psi with a working pressure of not much more than 3 or 4 psi or 3-4 psi of vacuum. I thought this tank would have imploded.
@@mikerohr5753 erm.. the diesel air fuel mixture is compressible. Pure liquid diesel is not.
@@viceice Hey could be entertaining to see this one demonstrated! Compressible diesel! Kinda a "Here's your sign" kind of moment!
@@mikerohr5753 liquids by nature compress very little. That's why hydraulic brake systems are so efficient and standard on all cars. The compression ratio you're speaking of is compressing the air being taken in during the intake stroke, which creates an immense amount of heat, which is how the diesel fuel is ignited inside the combustion chamber
Why the open bottomed box? The two spreader bars, fore and aft lifted the truck. One longitudinal spreader above the two lifting bars would suffice the guide weights for alignment with the truck.
All in all....."Good Job"......but what did the box do?
The box was designed to catch and prevent any leaking fuel from spreading in the water while the truck was still being hoisted up from the bottom. When at the surface, any fuel that would've been spilled, would've been contained localy with the booms instead of the fuel having spread over a very large area by underwater currents.
Goed hoor Jeroen :-)
What did this recovery cost?
How did he ended up there ?.
love when a plan comes together!
Holy shit, hats off gents……. He’ll of a team effort
Who paid the rather substantial bill?
The Canadian government paid 2.5 million for the recovery. The trucking company was fined 70k.
Nice work
3:20 this man made me like, how could I not
This would have been so much better without the reality show format but that was the "in" thing at the time.
Yep I was wondering why edit with such confusion your not Tarantino, would also have liked to have seen the truck, it's as if the journey is everything, costing of this job? I may have missed that as I kept fast forwarding..
The Dutch are renowned for their salvage work and they have the biggest salvage gear in the world. They also make nice cheese and grow lovely tulips. LOL
Fantastic what some People can do 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Had to mute the stupid reality show music. Otherwise interesting, wanted to see the truck.
That was fucking amazing. Nice job.
A nice video. It is sad that this channel no longer upload new content to share with us.
What was the pollution fine though?
Thank You for protecting the environment and saving the whales.
Very cool................
How did the truck get out there
i only have one question how did a truck end up at 1200 ft below water in the ocean?
The Dutch are the best at Salvage hands down.
How did that truck get over there?
Sorry but too much editing, stopped watching.
think ya bilked the CDN gvt's big time on this 1. good on ya. Seen all UR smiling faces
I love a Liverpool splice.. Good Yob clogheads
What would happen if they put a battery in the truck? Would any dash lights come on?
How can i do a truck going in deep water? Was in a boat that has sink
im assuming this fell off a vehicle ferry?
Shit, they must of had 60 camera men on board to film all these jump cuts
What happen with you guys working through the night, like you said you would ?
