Oceans don't need saving. Oceans are extremely large. Artificial reefs just provide scuba sites and fisheries for coastal waters. Snowflakes you who don't understand science, large numbers or in fact anything not spoon fed by leftist extremists are the problem.
JEBEDIAH KERMAN, there are certain bacteria that do eat metal, and they are generally found in the deepest parts of the ocean. Metal eating bacteria are a large part of the reason the Titanic wreck is deteriorating so rapidly and, on the flipside, the lack of these bacteria is why the Britannic is still so well preserved even though it has also been submerged over one hundred years.
The contradiction here is that man can send their garbage into the sea with artificial reef claims yet we catch and eat the scavengers crabs and other shell fish that act as water filters to clean our oceans. Hopefully these artificial reefs will provide a hiding place for shell fish the breed and do their jobs cleaning the oceans. I'll need to stop eating crabs for a few years to help out!! Lol
The realization that if that had been a real sinking vessel and I had been on it, my first inclination would have been to run to the bow since that would be the last thing to submerge and cling to the railing not anticipating that random metal plate that shot up and flipped forward landing right on top of where I would have been floating when the vessel finally submerged.
I don't know about that. If the weather was warm, my thoughts are that you probably would've been off the ship and plenty far enough away to avoid being injured.
You would actually want to jump off almost immediately because if you don’t you’ll be dragged underwater with the boat and drown. It why hypothermia is such a killer when ships sink.
Yikes....that hatch cover would've left a mark! If I had to dive in, I would go out onto the flying bridge and jump from there, as far away from the hull as possible.

As I understood it from the TPWL staff on the boat, the contract granted to the company that prepped the Kraken for sinking and sank it had performance incentives tied to the final resting position. Thus they got the most financial reward from having it sink perfectly upright. As such, as the prepped it for sinking, they weighted the ship to take into account the weight distribution of the cranes and other ship structures.
It is almost like whoever filmed this had no intention of having it end up on UA-cam. Otherwise, I'm sure they would have taken time to make all the experts happy.
Yes and no. There are 3 yellow things at the end of the video; a buoy (which is supposed to float), and two cranes which had been secured but were broken by the failure of two of the cargo hatch covers (that float off in the video). The cranes did settle back down overnight (measurement dive was done next morning), and the cargo hatch covers were recovered.
kent kirkpatrick They did have 2-4 Go Pros in the ship. I was a crew member on one of the support boats they hired, so I do not have access to their footage.
The average depth of the Pacific, as an example, is around 3.5 kilometers. You could stand the boat upright in those kinds of depths with no danger to active shipping.
Which is the exact position of the sunken ship? Has it been informed to all the chats companies? Has a buoy been placed to indicate that now its dangerous to navigate in tjat area? How deep has it sunk? Cause though the bridge is under water, the tip of the cranes are above water; there's a difference of more than 5 meters. Appreciate your comments.
Ricardo Juricic all parts of the ship are below 60 feet. The cranes were not supposed to pop up like that and did settle down. The position was reported to charting companies and a buoy was placed.
With all of the artificial reefs that have been sunk, has ANYONE ever thought about all of the lead based industrial coatings that are used on ships? These reefs, however beneficial to the aquatic world, are, in time, going to contaminate these reefs somewhere down the line.
Yes. They think about this. For planned artificial reef sinkings, a thorough cleaning/removal of contaminants is performed prior to the sinking. In the 90's one of my professors also did a study with cement reef balls that had contaminants mixed in. Over years of study, no leaching was ever detected.
Nope. Out of all the researchers, engineers, environmentalists, marine biologists, government officials, and everyone else who studies these things, you're the first person to remember, "Hmmmm, what about the paint?" We're lucky you happened along.
@@curtekstrom6600 Yep it's always China. Every Chinese product you buy in the west was manufactured to the specifications requested by the western distributor/retailer who ordered and imported the product as cheaply as possible to maximise their profits. But yeah its the Chinese.
It was a deliberate sinking to create an artificial reef. The ship was first cleaned and prepped for sinking, then towed out to the site. Once prep work at the site was completed, they opened two valves to allow the water to start flooding the ship. From the time the valves opened to the start of this video was about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. I started/stopped my camera quite a few times before the ship finally took on enough water to start entering via the large holes cut into the sides.
The Texas Parks & Wildlife divers did the measurements at various points. I did not write/down copy their measurements so take the following with a grain of salt until they publish the official numbers. Ocean floor in that area is in the 140 or so range (140-145 feet). The top of the ships wheelhouse is somewhere around the 60-70 foot range if I recall. The official video including underwater footage is at: ua-cam.com/video/ES2yA6ECk-g/v-deo.html
Because, the audio is basically nothing more than 2 dozen people sitting there saying "Is it sinking yet???" They had opened the flood valves over an hour earlier, and we were all sitting there wondering how long it would take as for the first 45-60 minutes you could barely tell that it was slowly sinking. As you can see, it went fast once the water finally hit the holes in the side. It was several hours behind the original schedule at that point. The upper 4 holes (2 per side) had wooden plugs in them when the boat was towed out, whereas the 2 lower ones on each side had been welded back into place following cleaning. Cutting them back out took longer than expected and also resulted in a man overboard situation when a person trying to push the wall out fell out with the wall.
I have a question, why did you just make a navigational hazard? The cranes are poking out, the top of thebridge is probably 20 at best under water. They should have picked a spot at least 40-60 foot deeper and welded the pivot points on the crane.
There are 3 yellow things at the end of the video; a buoy (which is supposed to float), and two cranes which had been welded but were broken by the failure of two of the cargo hatch covers (that float off in the video). The cranes did settle back down overnight (measurement dive was done next morning), and the cargo hatch covers were recovered. All parts of the ship were confirmed to be at 60 feet or deeper the next day as was the original plan. The ship was sunk in 142 feet of water.
They were welded down, but broken free by the cargo hatch covers. I have no clue if the cargo hatch covers hadn't broken loose if the crane jibs would have stayed in place or the forces from the water would have broken the welds anyway. Based on what we saw, I suspect the cranes would have stayed in place as planned. But I was just a crewman on the support boat, I had nothing to do with the welding/sinking preparation, so you are not criticizing me.
The cranes were welded in place but the welds broke when the hatches broke. The cranes did settle down afterwards and everything is below the 60 foot mark required for proper clearance.

It would be cool if they were moving on through, but in this one they actually stopped and reversed blocking a good portion of the sinking. Especially aggravating when it appears that those were the only two boats out there.
There were 3 boats; the boat that unfortunately blocks the view held the people that actually were onboard the Kraken to do all of the welding and sinking. The M/V Fling (boat from which I filmed) held the science and dive teams. And there was a pleasure boat that is not seen in the trimmed video. As "long" as this video is, the valves to sink the Kraken had been opened over an hour earlier, so it was just a matter of unfortunate timing.
Congratulations on putting yourself in the WORST possible position to film this. I still watched it, but is there any other footage. Looks like it was probably pretty cool. Instead we get to watch a tugboat Meander slowly
Pure bad luck on timing, the work boat which had the engineering crew had been circling the ship as it sank. From the time at which they opened the valves to when it finally sank was more than an hour.

How did that boat get in the screen to screw up the video?
Was no one in charge?
That looks really good for the environment.
It actually it good for the environment.
Aside from any chemicals/oils which I’m sure they cleaned pretty well, it makes an artificial reef for LOTS of ocean life to live in and aroumd
When they sink these ships they are stripped, cleaned of any oil or harmful materials, with the years life takes over it, like the HMHS Britannic.

There were 3 boats; the boat that unfortunately blocks the view held the people that actually were onboard the Kraken to do all of the welding and sinking. The M/V Fling (boat from which I filmed) held the science and dive teams. And there was a pleasure boat that is not seen in the trimmed video. As "long" as this video is, the valves to sink the Kraken had been opened over an hour earlier, so it was just a matter of unfortunate timing.
So 2 minutes in and nothing happens, boring video. Get to the point, maybe narration indicating whats going on, to relieve the boredom.
So you’re the other one that’s standing by the microwave oven screaming hurry up. Me too.
Congratulations on putting yourself in the WORST possible position to film this. I still watched it, but is there any other footage. Looks like it was probably pretty cool. Instead we get to watch a tugboat Meander slowly
Pure bad luck on timing, the work boat which had the engineering crew had been circling the ship as it sank. From the time at which they opened the valves to when it finally sank was more than an hour.
yawn...

chucky 09 this is not the titanic stupid go play your stupid clash royale
Great. More trash on the sea floor.
No different than the Dead Whale Bones on the Ocean floor
What? You're not on the seafloor! Grow the fuck up. Get some brain cells
It's not. It's a ship that contains flat surfaces for plants to anchor to and nooks and crannies for fish to hide in.
@@defeatedink0544 yes. Thank you.
It's an artificial reef, dipshit.
Thumb down from me
