    On 07 December 1941, at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, the USS Oklahoma capsized after multiple torpedo hits. There was no way to get to the men that had been at their action stations deep below the decks. The men were heard banging on the bulkheads, so they knew there were live sailors trapped.
    Months later , in 1942, salvage operations began at Pearl Harbour, but the Oklahoma was considered at total loss.
    Apparently, divers entered the ship, and found a large air pocket in the engine rooms.The men were all dead . Found among them was a calendar with 'X's counting the days till they would be rescued. The last 'X' was 23 December 1941. So it took 16 horrific days for those abandoned men to die. Jeez.

      Also there were no scuba divers then . It was a big bulky helmets with air hoses, so ship penetration was limited.

    In order for an implosion to have occurred, there had to have been areas of the stern where the water couldn't leak in fast enough to equalize the pressure, and quite possibly didn't leak in at all... So many of those who died in the implosion may not have even gotten wet before they passed away... hundreds of feet underwater.

      He's right.... The word "suffering" implies time passing being conscious of that time and 'suffering' over time... Hence the 'ing' suffix.... They would have died in less than a second or less than the time the human brain needs to make sense of anything and send signals like pain or shock or terror etc etc etc..... Hence.. They would not have 'suffered'.... They would have died in a single second and..... They literally would not have even even realised that they had died....

      @alexeyvlasenko6622 3 роки тому +200

      To compensate for the freezing water, at least the air in a shrinking air pocket would get quite warm really fast - the ship was sinking quickly enough that adiabatic compression could generate *a lot* of heat. Combined with high air pressure (hence more oxygen and easier burning), this could have actually caused some of the people trapped in the air pockets to catch on fire.
      Burning to death inside a sinking ship doesn't sound like a pleasant way to go.

      They would have suffered for less than a minute.
      As the boat was sinking at around 5-6 meters per second, that is 1 armosphere of pressure every 2 seconds.
      In under a minute, the crushing pressure alone would have killed them. Long before they hit the bottom, or ran out of air.

    Imagine the feeling of being trapped inside an air pocket on the Titanic's stern for 30 seconds after the final plunge, in a complete dark room, realizing (by the fall of the structure and the awful noises it must've made) that the section broke free from the bow and everything is already underwater making its way to the bottom. Then, in a second, the whole thing implodes with you. Dude, it's terrible. I can't even imagine the terror that those who couldn't escape from the stern's interior must have experienced while sinking and being torn apart with the ship's structure.

      It's a way to make television, production choice. I guess it's a way to make some filling to documentary. Like music in some dramatic part of a nature documentary. But it's easy to overuse it and I don't think it suits over something like this. I think it shows that the person making this video doesn't trust that the content itself would be interesting enough without some background music, which is a shame, because what he had to say and present was fascinating. That's why the music is kinda like some daytime small TV documentaries and especially reality TV shows use that kind of vapid, empty, plastic sounding background music. It's filling, padding.
      I think he can grow as a UA-camr and a channel, maybe not have to rely on music that way. Because the content in the video, it doesn't need music.

It was approx 1970 and I was about 10 years old and I went to the hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan with my parents to visit one of my grandparents who was Admitted there. I don't remember all the details or the persons name , but at some point I was introduced to an old woman in a wheel chair, whom I was told that she was a Titanic survivor.

Why that woman was in Michigan and who she was, I don't know. Actually I don't think I ever asked her what her name was, and I don't remember if it was ever mentioned. All I remember was that it was in a waiting room at the hospital and I just talked to her for a very brief time and I believed what the adults told me and the woman I talked to. Excuse my 10 year old self for not being an investigative reporter and not documenting the occasion. Considering that it was 50 years ago and I was a young child, I think is pretty good that I remember the details that I do. We did not have cell phones with cameras in those days(no cell phones at all). Lets see if when you are 60 years old you remember every detail of some brief chance encounter that happened when you were 10. I'm not even sure exactly how old I was at the time. As I stated in the original post, my best estimate would have put it at about 1970 and me at 10 years old. So, think what you want, that is about all I have to say about the matter.

      There may well have been survivors in air pockets on the MV Sewol as it was still on the surface more or less, wheras the Titanic rapidly sank in deep water to high pressures. The MV Sewol bobbed upside down on the surface for hours.
      In South Africa a similar incident happened and I think 3 men survived in a small air pocket for almost 48 hours and were rescued. But again that craft was still basically on the surface.
      That is part of why the parents of MV Sewol are so upset, the Korean government just sat there and did nothing, they did not send anyone to check the ship while it was still upright and listing; and when the ship inverted they refused to send in any divers. Only after 3 or 4 days did they send divers and by then it was too late.

      @@mikesully110 it wasn't that simple. you are right to place hella blame on the korean government, however it wasn't just the politicians who failed. the s.korean coast guard basically refused to help anyone, the captain of the first coast guard ship to arrive, announced that "everyone" got off the ship, did not mount any rescue operations and basically wasted its time forcing armatures who were trying to rescue people away from the sinking ship, they made this decision after sending a few men on board, who found the captain and crew of the ship while it was sinking, the captain and crew told the coast guard that "everyone was off" and insisted they flee for their lives basically convincing the coast guard not to search for passengers, the people the captain and crew of the ship knew were trapped inside the hull.
      so you have the cowardice of the ship's crew, the coast guard who knew there were probably people still aboard and who didn't want to risk people to search the ship, the teachers of the kids who refused to let the kids try to flee the ship because they were ordered by the crew to "stay put" and the politicians who even when informed there were people still trapped on the ship refused to take rapid and forceful action to try to save them, instead simply telling the coast guard ship to "do what they can safely" which the coast guard ship decided meant "sit around and watch every die" because the captain of the ship didn't feel like risking anyone's life to save the passengers.
      the whole thing was a monstrous disaster, and then when the company which owned the ship realized that they were likely liable for all the death and destruction due to their illegal modification of the ship, the flew into action to convince the government no investigation was needed and no one was to blame, WHILE THE SHIP WAS STILL FLOATING and the kids were fighting for their lives, the coverup was underway to gaslight to parents of those children. The whole situation was disgusting from top to bottom.
      note, those armatures who came to the scene that the coastguard was trying to chase off? those people saved almost everyone who could be saved from the disaster without rescue divers or equipment. while the coast guard tried to chase them off and their government tried to tell everyone no one was trapped on the ship, and if they were they were long dead

    Thank you for video.... former diver here. There would not have been an 'implosion'. That can only happen if the structure is completely airtight like a submarine. Air trapped in Titanic would easily leak and equalize pressure as depth increased. A cabin has a door that doesn't seal airtight. The porthole also would bleed air as would ventilation ducts. The loud noise heard by survivors in lifeboats was very likely heated boilers exploding due to contact with ice cold water, or they could actually implode as they were water and airtight. Even the bulkheads designed to prevent sinking were not airtight. They were actually open at the top.
    If someone was unfortunate enough to be trapped in an air pocket, they would experience a very gruesome death. Titanic is in 3,800 meters of water. Pressure increases 1 atmosphere every 10 meters. So at bottom pressure is 380 atmospheres (14.7 psi) = 5,586 psi. The air is compressed and is only 1/380th the volume. Air in the lungs of soon to die survivors would also be 1/380th the volume. Person would have died long before settling on the bottom.
    The lucky sailor trapped under 100 feet only had 3 atmospheres of pressure. He needed to 'decompress' as he was brought up to allow Nitrogen gas to come out of solution in his blood to prevent getting the 'Bends'. His decompression was several hours over 2 stops. If a Titanic survivor was somehow found alive on bottom and brought up to surface, his lungs would explode if he held his breath going up. Air in lungs would then expand 380 times in volume. His decompression would be measured in weeks over many stops along the way.

The RMS Olympic (the older of the three sisters ) was scraped in 1935.

    His closing statement as he ruminates on the disturbing question was," You see there were bulkheads all over the place and there were a lot of pockets of air." "A lot of the people never left their cabins as she sank. And they must have died IN their cabins. And they must have had a lingering death." "It was almost like murder, wasn't it?"

    At 12,500 feet water depth (depth of Titanic wreck), there's approx. 5,569 pounds of pressure exerted on each square inch (psi) of an object there. Even though our body IS for the most part filled with fluids similar to water itself, that kind of pressure, especially changed in a matter of minutes (time for the rear hull) to sink to the bottom, would have been both excruciatingly painful and ultimately fatal, even without the compartment being fully flooded (no air). What air in the "bubble" at the surface, would have been compressed 378 times what it was on the surface, and roughly that fraction (1/378) its former volume. So they "MIGHT" have survived for a few seconds, even a minute... but beyond that... NO, and what a TERRIFYING way to go.

    I couldn’t imagine being rescued like that man. I’d think I was hallucinating. I wouldn’t believe it. There’s no way. Not after so long. Not after being so deep. I feel like the feeling would be..explosive almost. Like a burst of anxiety and fear and unsettling feeling. There’s something actually scary about being that deep underwater alone, all your crew mates dead around you, and suddenly something living starts entering the space your in after three days. That’s horror movie materials. “What is it? Is it real?” My gosh.

      With the sounds of collapsing, crushing metal, things crashing forward, and decks turning into bulkheads and vice versa. I think I would have preferred to jump to my death from the poop deck than die like this in a collapsing compartment had I been there, or I would have shot myself. I'm sure some who possessed pistols aboard considered doing that seeing what was happening to others in the water.

    The Titanic is a tragic yet fascinating story. It never ceases to arouse curiosity after 100+ years.

Those who lived and lost their loved ones were scarred forever.

      Titanic gets a lot of attention. Whats even more shocking is in the history of humanity an estimated 10 million ships have sank and only 8% of them have ever been found and recorded. Just imagine what treasures and tragedies are on the seabed undiscovered. But since I think Titanic is eroding underwater and slowly vanishing in just over a 100 years I can't imagine many really old lost ships will be found.
