"The Orcas, highly intelligent, apex predators of the sea, ordered cell powered heating units from Amazon with a preapproved AMEX card to break up the ice, even getting free over night by signing up for an Amazon Prime Free Trial, and then cancelling it."
I live in Maine, ice even three inches thick can take hours to days to chop through on the solid ground. It's also back-breaking work that needs ice picks, hammers, and shovels. If they can stand on the ice and walk around where the hole is, I would say it would take months to chop through without special equipment. Especially since it's on the water which changes constantly, and if it's that strong to hold under the currents and tides where it needs to be thicker to hold together. Look at a rapidly flowing river in the winter sometime in freezing conditions, it's very rare for it to be frozen because of that reason. Yeah, you need special equipment to chop through such thick ice. It doesn't look thick on the surface, but I'd say it's at least a mile thick underneath.
@@pendagar449 Why don't you have some respect & keep God's name out of this? You would do well to heed what the bible says about the 5th Commandment in Exodus 20:7 "You must not use the name of the Lord your God thoughtlessly. The Lord will punish anyone who is guilty and misuses his name"
There is also no record, in all history, of any Orca ever killing any human, in the WILD. By comparison, in the relatively few years they've been in captivity, there have been several human deaths and also severe, non-fatal attacks, attributed to Orcas.
There is record of Orcas showing hunting behaviour towards humans trapped on ice flakes. But whether or not that person would be killed or eaten after is left unknown.
saranoid damn “several” its almost like they kill human atleast once a year but nope they don’t. There’s also recorded orca attacks on human, not deaths but attacks in the wild
These transients Orcas are more adaptable than the local ones around BC which tend to stay around the shores and have a certain diet of Salmon only.Transients are said to more knowledgable about where the best food sources are and tend to be better hunters than the resident Orcas so of course their population is much larger than the ones around BC,Either way one of the most social mammals in the ocean and have they own family structure.Probably smarter than dolphins.
Aww my babies!!! Surely someone could have pulled the ice to give the Orcas more air and room to breathe... If they really cared about Orcas they would have made a way.. I pray the Orcas get out to sea and find food, peace, and freedom.
They moved to the Caribbean and the problem is over, now they live happily in the virgin islands enjoying good fish and a lot of lobster, the best part is that everything is free.
For people commenting on how they should have cut holes in the ice: Ice is extremely thick and hard to break. I live in Maine where once a year we usually get hit by (varying degree depending on the year) an ice storm. You can literally spend the whole day cleaning off your driveway of ice, even six inches. This is on the stable ground where nothing is moving. One time I spent all day scraping my driveway clean with a shovel for six inches of ice in 40-degree Fahrenheit weather. Another time I hired someone to scrape a pathway of about five feet for oil to be delivered after an ice storm, it took them four hours to clean off all the ice. With professional equipment. It's not something to mess around with. Since they can stand on the ice and it's on the water, I'd say it's about a mile thick. With currents, tides, and other factors, ice to be able to be that solid to not be affected by the different shifts in the water. There's no way that they can break that ice to the water below even if they had a huge group of volunteers to do so. Sadly, there's nothing that could've been done.
Lmao ok I live in mn and have a cabin on a lake that freezes yearly. Ice is ice regardless..so you are right and wrong. Since ice is as strong as you say, and it is, you can stand on anything over a few inches. For example, about 7 or 8 inches is safe for a small car. If it were a mile deep those orcas wouldn't be able to move up n down so quickly like they are and they'd never have escaped. A mile is an incredible distance and that's just completely inaccurate. Beyond that, do u know how cold the deep water is? Water doesn't freeze under extreme pressure (in this case, at depth) so 1 mile is impossible and never would happen, ever. You said the ocean needs to be thicker to not break up. Yea....that's why it broke up and they escaped 😂😂😂 that's why the ocean ice is mostly in pieces except certain locations or time of year. I'm so confused how u went from accurate to so wrong, so fast . Lol
Always send the icebreakers anyways. The way an icebreaker can cut parallel relief channels, it doesn't have to get close to the whales to totally break up pack ice. Icebreakers rule over sea ice! BTW, we're coming up on the 50th Anniversary, in August-September of 2019 of the most epic icebreaker in history -- the S.S. Manhattan, a huge (for then) oil tanker converted by Esso-Humble Oil (later Exxon) into the biggest icebreaker ever. Deadweight 115,000 tons, and she was modified with a huge, heavy icebreaking prow, as well as more hull braces and protective skirts for her rudders and propellers. She conquered the Northwest Passage in 1969, and back when sea ice was much heavier than today. Hail to the Manhattan!
It would be too expensive and time consuming, not to mention traumatic for the Orcas. There are people who have invested their lives to researching and conserving the species and they know better than anyone else that being pragmatic is necessary.
They are called Killer Whales whether you like it or not. Killer Whales sounds awesome and that's what they were called first. They go by many names so stfu and YOU call them Orcas and leave the people who like Calling them Killer Whales.
One whale weighs approx 5 tons 30 ft long... here they're 5 5x 30= 60 ft 5x6 = 30 tons Rescuing them would've endangered the rescuers But amazingly they escaped? Wow
Some species of whales (Orcas are dolphin family btw) can live over 150 yrs. There was one Right Whale which was found still alive in the 21st Century with a harpoon that was specially made during the 19th Century whaling years making that particular whale have an estimated age nearly over 140s yrs old. I can believe it since it is a fact that animals with lower heart rates tend to life longer.
William Levy nope, whales are not dolphins. Dolphins are a sub species of whales, but it doesn't work the other way around. Basically all dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins.
They don't sleep like humans do and sleep with one eye open, basically. They rest and, as far as I know, go into a state where they're half awake near the surface so they're able to take a breath. Orcas live in pods and help each other out, while mother whales also help out their young by swimming and keeping them afloat. Same with other species of dolphins and whales.
Who TF thought "yeah let's pick up the whales with a helicopter" was an even remotely good idea, they're not gonna just hop aboard these are wild animals
a colourful suit isn't a bad idea, but Cetaceans (whales and dolphins) primarily rely upon sonar to "see" underwater, since they are often in murky or dark waters. Their sonar is far more sophisticated than what the military, or medical community uses. It is said that using sonar, Cetaceans can "see" if a female human in the water is pregnant, they can "see" our hearts beating. This theory would do much to explain the attachment Cetaceans exhibit toward people.
Is this the same pod that killed the pod of narwhals?. Maybe mother nature was trying to even up the odds as narwhals and Bulaga whales have no ice to hide under anymore to get away from the orcas. Don't get me wrong. I love orcas. But that attack on the narwhals was pure butchery. They killed the whole pod, more meat than they could consume in a week. They reminded me of the bored village dogs 50 years ago, that would join up in a pack at night, taking down calves and any cows trying to defend them. Anything that survived their attacks had to be shot anyway. We've changed the environment so much that there are killer whales in Hudson 's Bay hunting the seals and Bulagas that the polar bear needs when he is able to get back on the ice after fasting for 6 months instead of four and a half. I hope it is not too late for all the polar animals. I think about anything that I can to to minimize my impact on the environment, from starting my car to purchases I make. I keep my heat at 70 degrees and wear socks and a hoody if I feel cold. Every little bit can help. We all need to work together. Don't sit in an idling car, turn it off! Or better yet, make it electric next time. Please. I'd like my great great grandchildren to be able to see these animals alive, not just as images in books or on film.
Maybe because there is less things to eat and the Orcas are having to go north more to find something. I seen a report the other day that said the average salmon caught in Alaska are getting smaller and smaller.
Hey animal lovers you guys still not thinking about ship ice breaker for inukjuak it could happen again anytime in winter i believe hudson bay really needs a ice breaker (think about that animal lovers) thats a good idea :)
A week later, a fleet of Japanese 'research' ships caught them in their nets... they were sliced and diced and packed up, stuffed into their warehouse coolers to be shipped to schools all across Japan and eaten by children at lunchtime.
By that logic, God doesn't care about all the orcas and other dolphins that end up stranded on the beach and die. Perhaps they're the creatures of the Devil. :O

To be able to hold that long in constantly shifting water: I'd say that ice is about a mile thick. They're fine, and most likely could have a hundred people on that same spot with no problems.
Imagine if orcas could talk.. They'd probably have a religion.. And their religion would be centred around a God orca who can walk on the ground and has legs and helps them escape fishing nets from time to time but also kills them when they think they have done bad things. Now replace with humans.. Imagine if humans could talk.. They'd probably have a religion. And it would be based on a God human and they would believe in angels who have wings and can fly and helps them out from time to time but also kills them when they do bad things...
Then imagine different groups of whales killing each other over which whale god was better then decide they needed to mutilate then genitals of their young to make the whale God happy. Everyone knows nothing makes a god happier than a little bit of dic skin or clitoral hood.
they do talk, and they have their own language too. They communicate by making noise at different frequencies. Believe it or not, Orcas are cultural animals too.
+Hera Yes I know that, but I we were imagining hypothetical situations in which orca were doing the stupid shit that humans do. I've actually read a great deal about orca, they're fascinating.
+Hera in fact that was part of my point, that they do have such a strong culture but yet don't fight over stupid bullshit like we do. They have such strong familial bonds, local language , and such different ways of hunting depending on where they live and specialized depending on the prey and yet it because they are so intelligent that you don't see them fighting over dumb stuff. We could learn so much from them.
No, it actually doesn't. There are plenty of Orcas in captivity that are far older than 20. I have issues with the values of the numbers as well, but just assuming they are accurate, you'd be comparing maximum observed lifespan in the wild with average lifespan in captivity including child mortality(which is abysmal in the wild as well)
Life spams of animals: Humans 80, elephants 60, orcas and whales a century, turtles a few centuries, trees a few thousand years, and the hydra which can live forever. anyone else want to add to the list?
+Betty Swerhone Betty the person who you responded to is a child with childlike niceties in his or her mind wanting only the best outcomes in life, they will grow up but for you to comment sarcastically as you have shows your immaturity and void understanding of how children like life and it's hazards to turn out.
+Mark Shaw No, this is clearly not a child that I was commenting to. Their name, "JustATypical420er" is what I was going by. 420 is slang for marijuana. My issue was not over Pot though, but over how God is, in 420's mind, saving whales but ignoring all the other really bad stuff that is going on in the world. A more intelligent way to look at it is that there is no God interacting with Life. I understand why he is feeling badly for the whales of course.
The saddest thing is that people don't care about what happens with them. An helicopter is ''too costly'' to save the lifes of 20 animals, but if it is the president they could get 100 helicopters from another part of the world. I hate humans
Not necessarily. Take dogs for example, the smaller they are, the longer they can live. Obviously this doesn't include every type of small dog. But most of them... yes.

I have issues with the values of the numbers as well, but just assuming they are accurate, you'd be comparing maximum observed lifespan in the wild with average lifespan in captivity including child mortality(which is abysmal in the wild as well)
Killer whale brains are bigger than humans,but brains versus body size human s have the biggest brains to body size.
What caused this? Global warming or global cooling. If no one knows then it has to be global change
The Russians using Icebreaker to free their belugas.
I saw this one I hope there make it out Orcas did.
Life spams of animals: Humans 80, elephants 60, orcas and whales a century, turtles a few centuries, trees a few thousand years, and the hydra which can live forever. anyone else want to add to the list?
freddy mercury,
I'd love to know if they survived or not?
Don’t worry they did
Female Orca live between 80-105 years of age.
Why is there a British man in every documentary-style video?
So true!
Hopefully the matriarch and her family managed to get out in time seeing these beautiful but dangerous animals trapped makes me scared for their young
I love them, they are so brillant, God led their way out, for sure!
Yes, I am sure of it. God trapped them, gave them a good friggin' scare, taught them how powerful he is then... just let them go. Good grief
+Betty Swerhone Betty the person who you responded to is a child with childlike niceties in his or her mind wanting only the best outcomes in life, they will grow up but for you to comment sarcastically as you have shows your immaturity and void understanding of how children like life and it's hazards to turn out.
+Mark Shaw No, this is clearly not a child that I was commenting to. Their name, "JustATypical420er" is what I was going by. 420 is slang for marijuana.
My issue was not over Pot though, but over how God is, in 420's mind, saving whales but ignoring all the other really bad stuff that is going on in the world. A more intelligent way to look at it is that there is no God interacting with Life. I understand why he is feeling badly for the whales of course.
PuertoRicanMusician their brain did
Yes he did !
we have what are called biologists that follow them and yes they got out.
How would they have got them air lifted?
Anybody who has followed granny about town, will know granny does not always know best... but this time she came good lol
AMAZING MAMMALS 💪🏻💪🏻
So did the whales make it? There seriously is no follow up story?
The saddest thing is that people don't care about what happens with them. An helicopter is ''too costly'' to save the lifes of 20 animals, but if it is the president they could get 100 helicopters from another part of the world.
I hate humans
Kyra13O weirdo
Plot twist when summer comes the ice melts and all the killer Wales are dead just over a mile away from the hole
It's so funny how many people actually just believe what the news tells them how sad
Not necessarily. Take dogs for example, the smaller they are, the longer they can live. Obviously this doesn't include every type of small dog. But most of them... yes.
did they make it??
Emma Ejwertz Music -Idk why UA-cam is just now recommending me this video lol.... in case you actually see my comment, yes they did :) www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jan/10/stranded-killer-whales-break-free-hudson-bay
realy care about you but what after die?islamreligion.com
"Experts feared the noise would frighten the whales"
Let me get this straight, the so-called "experts" feared the noise might frighten them? Some expert! Gee, I'm sure they'd prefer to FREEZE to death than be scared by noise!
They could just cut a hole in the ice every 1/4 mile so the orcas could swim from hole to hole.
MrShoeguy it would take to long
Great white:"That's what you get"
Omg i am crying
Omg who cares.
They are NOT whales. They are Orcas who kill whales.😂
They should make a movie outta this.
Hey! It happened with those grey whales.
Pigs! those who said that saving them was time consuming and too expensive, but I didnt see no icebreaker ship, i just saw helicopters.
I once saw a movie like this except it was with three gray whales instead
That movie was based on real events but it wasn't this event.
I would have liked to see how they escaped
I pray they make it....hope this is recent....???
couldn't they blow the holes in the ice every mile or a bit less? not so hard and quick
Yes-or axes perhaps
