I wonder if they could of pumped out all of the water and go either Forward or Backward, whichever way the Diving Plane was frozen, and possibly reach the surface?
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this but it sounds like they flooded the submarine themselves to end their lives quickly in this video. If that’s true they could have flooded the sub, waited for the pressure inside to equalize, open the hatch and made their escape.
In 2017, a scientific publication was published based on experiments with a reduced model of the unit and its mine. The results give rise to the claim that the crew died from the explosion of their own weapons. The analyzes indicate the following mechanism: the explosion of a charge of 61.5 kg of black powder in a closed container at a distance of less than 5 meters from the hull of the vessel caused a shock wave propagating in the water, which caused the walls of the hull to deflect and thus to create a secondary shock wave in the air filling it. interior. This wave resulted in the immediate death of the crew from lung injuries. The authors of the publication presenting these results estimate that in these conditions the crew members had a 16% chance of survival. In their opinion, the ship with the dead crew drifted for some time and then sank. So, they were already dead.
@@almaweer1766 I acknowledge the study you cite, but the truth is there is still considerable doubt amongst the experts as to what happened, even after having the sub itself to study. We will likely never really know 100% what happened.
@@thomaswiseman6807 We pretty much do. I havent seen any recent publications from any scienctist that dont support that. Its clear the men never tried to escape and died so fast they couldnt react.
A very underrated movie
Brave men... willing to face death...
The captain looked like robert downey's tony stark
he sounds like Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder
Open the valves boys. The one line that stuck with me.
If only there was a near by confederate ship, it”d be a chance they could be saved..
Not a chance, they died instantly by the shockwave and even if there was one near, it would have taken hours or days to even locate the Hunley.
Just imagine the feelings they must have had going through there head!! Rip sailors thank you for your service
it is now known they died instantly
Their service fighting the United States. Killing American soldiers.
Wish this clip would have showed the very ending of them waking up.
@@layoung.There’s another video called sacrifice that has it.

They tried, the pumps were destroyed from the shockwave
