The Tragic Story Of The Greenpeace Ship That Was Blown Up | Timeline

- Aukland Harbour, New Zealand. July 10th 1985. French navy combat men place two mines against the hull of the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior. At ten minutes to midnight, the bombs explode, sinking the ship and killing photographer Fernando Pereira.
The French government is desperate to hide the truth. The truth about the bombing. The truth about nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific ocean. So desperate it will go to any lengths to silence its opponents.
The Boat and The Bomb is a Greenpeace International film about international espionage, government cover-up and the nuclear arms race. It's a story which has disturbing parallels with today's War on Terror. It's a story which won't go away.

Germans: We sunk the Hood.
English: We sunk the Bismarck.
French : We sunk the Rainbow Warrior.
......and half of our own navy!
Bismarck was scuttled
@@krugerfuchs the result is the same ;)
@@krugerfuchs No it wasn't. You are thinking of KMS Admiral Graf Spee.
@@peace-now The destruction of Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships. Two days later, heading for occupied France to effect repairs, Bismarck was attacked by 16 Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one scored a hit that rendered the battleship's steering gear inoperable. In her final battle the following morning, the already-crippled Bismarck was engaged by two British battleships and two heavy cruisers, and sustained incapacitating damage and heavy loss of life. The ship was scuttled to prevent her being boarded by the British, and to allow the ship to be abandoned so as to limit further casualties. Most experts agree that the battle damage would have caused her to sink eventually. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck
On May 26, the ship was sighted and crippled by British aircraft, and on May 27 three British warships descended on the Bismarck, inflicting heavy damage. By mid-morning, the pride of the German navy had become a floating wreck with numerous fires aboard, unable to steer and with her guns almost useless because she was listing badly to port. Soon, the command went out to scuttle the ship, and the Bismarck quickly sank. Of a 2,221-man crew, only 115 survived. www.history.com/this-day-in-history/bismarck-sunk-by-royal-navy
Also verified by James Camerons dive team who studied the wreck of the Bismarck in great detail and said, "For the ship to have sunk with the speed that it did, it would have had to have also had scuttling, in addition to whatever battle damage was being inflicted by the British, and probably the scuttling played a very large part when it sank".
So the French claim they didn't want to hurt anyone, yet placed bombs on a ship they had under surveillance, and detonated them with people on board.
On their allies territory
nuclear testing is insane within itself
The French didn't claim they were competent at the tast.
Sounds like an act of terrorism to me
@@vrdaddy2667 state sponsored terrorism
Remembering Greenpeace, and others who tried to save the World. They made a difference
They tried to stop nuclear energy despite being very clean and reliable, leading to EU nations being dependant on russian natural gas. They tried stopping golden rice because it's GMO, despite GMO using significantly less pesticide, and in that particular case provided much needed vitamin A to a sub Saharan diet which lacks vitamin A leading to numerous diseases. They go against scientific consensus on these matter and actively hurt people. I'm glad this happened and one of them paid the price
They are just terrorist.
What difference did they make 😂😂😂😂
The annoying part is it's taken everyone else so long to Wake-Up to the needs of the Planet, which include us!
I remember the incidents in the 80s. They shaped my view that it's not enough to sit passively by, whilst politicians, corporations, and the ultra wealthy use our planet only to enrich their own selfish lives.
This is so true their evil. And people think they save them!
They're already enriched, they're viciously competing for control now...
I agree. I like Capitalism on the whole, but I do see that it has some BIG downsides that can't be overlooked. And I hate elitism.
@@pigpentaboo agreed, the beautiful parts of our country also were the weaknesses that opened us up for this hostile takeover of the infrastructure and direction of the country. I think the only way to combat this is an informed public, and I think with the internet it is possible. The elites who direct things nows predecessor's were held at bay in the early 1900s by an informed populace, one good example is them keeping central banking out for quite awhile. Eventually the public became less informed and more frenzied based on introduced catastrophes and they snuck it through the back door in the form of the federal reserve.
Shame they missed the air pollution from chem trails. Their effects are damaging the ozone and directly speeding up the arctic warming. Then and now. Look at your local wild edible berries etc. They are disappearing under the name of progress, neat lawns and tarmac.
Taking the time to appreciate the music for this production. it is fresh, edgy and moving.
The loss of a future life with your dad is really the saddest part of this story.
While I disagree with some of their activities, the French government committed murder!
No, is based
How can you say you had a rule that no one should die you set a bomb off and you killed someone
Imperfect execution.
They could have blown up the ship in deep ocean if they wanted to kil everyone without a trace.

Even back then.... hence France did this.
@@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lange is regarded as one of the best Prime Ministers New Zealand has ever had. He was certainly the most gifted orator and even though he was handed a no win situation, I can't help but feel he dropped the ball on this. Just a little.
New Zealand has always been an easy target. It's sad to think that our only two recognized acts of terrorism have been carried out by a citizen of a military ally, and the secret service of a friendly government.
You mean the one term pm?
That's almost every terrorist attack lol
What was the other incident? Id like to look into that as well.
@@jaseswinconos The 2019 Christchurch shootings. An Australian terrorist killed 51 Muslim people in mosques in Christchurch.
@@pigpentaboo were there any ties to the Australian government? Do any channels have any solid coverage of it you know of? Very interesting.
Very interesting documentary. I thought this was about the British ww2 operation that rammed a bomb packed ship into a German occupied french port. Pleasantly surprised by this.
The St. Nazaire Raid. That's another amazing story.
ua-cam.com/video/nXusKM5uX0s/v-deo.html
In may this year I attended the Oostende Voor Anker boat festival as part of the Dunkirk Little Ship fleet. On the 10 May we attended a ceremony commemorating 100 year since HMS Vindictive blocked the harbour in WWI. This stopped German submarines leaving port, for years I passed the Bow of the ship as I locked in but did not know the history behind it. The bow has been moved to a position in the outer harbour and a jetty built to it.
The British Ambassador attended the ceremony together with the British Legion and many Belgian dignitaries, we later entertained the British Legion guys aboard the DLS and listened to some great stories that got better as the grog flowed.
I wonder can you give me details of the WWII operation you were talking of.
You mean the HMS Campbell being used as a bomb to destroy a dock at St. Nazaire to reduce Kriegsmarine effectiveness on the high seas? Pretty daring ops.
That's because anything to do with left-wingers the sensationalism always gets turned up to 11.
So the title of the video makes it sound like the ship full of people was blasted with exocet missiles and sunk in the middle of the ocean.
In reality it was a covert sabotage operation that was meant to cripple the ship when they accidentally took out a guy.
The titel is clear... greenpeace... they did´t exist in ww2
Governments do what governments do best look after there own interests.
Governments are socially accepted mobs of thieves and vagabonds
Wanna know the exact definition of double standards..?
Switch the “French” for “Russians”... and just imagine the level of hysteria 🤷♂️
@@splifstar85 🤣 now that would be interesting.
Yeah, it's a tale of woe. Very stirring
Re the last comment on this video : 50 years ago a Breton friend told me that the French have no scruples about doing something wrong and are only sorry when they are caught.
Applies to every countries I think.
I don't understand why they didn't just sink them in open waters.
Because then they would have killed everyone on board. Which wasnt their goal
The French lost their cool, though I’m afraid they never really had it to begin with. They could have taken control of the Rainbow Warrior with minimal force (not assaulting the crew) and impounded it while arresting or detaining the crew until the test was over. That never seemed to cross their mind and I believe it because the state has a monopoly on violence, the state therefore turns to violence habitually to solve its perceived problems. The whole thing is a lesson in how sick this world is.
The whole thing was due to the then new boss of French secret services, who wanted to prove himself, after a failed retaliatory operation by the last boss of the secret services, following the bombings that killed more than 300 US Marines and 50 French paratroopers in Beirut. He ended up launching this operation in the very back of the French government. The only one who knew about it was the one who gave permission for it, the then defence minister and he did it in the back of the whole government: the president, the prime minister, no one knew about it.
They talk about it in this 3rd episode on the history of the French secret services since WW2 (you can add English subtitles in the options):

8 mill to GP, 13 mill to NZ, how much went to the family of the man who was murdered?
Thatcher was furious.
What was N.Z. response to this act of war in her jurisdiction?
Given the inherent danger of nuclear power and the cost and difficulty of building and staffing such stations and the necessity of strategic and tactical deterrence and flexible usability of small 0.5-50k nuclear weapons (UK tactical weapons say 1965-95 were interchangable 0:5-10k nuclear depth charges also usable as free fall 5-10k bombs. Smaller not clear powers like Britain and France were inevitably ultra sensitive to any challenge to their great power military, diplomatic, UN and tech status of any challenge to the power and status conferred by nuclear.Thatcher and France like the US also saw NZ as incredibly hypocritical as NZs only real defence force and contribution was the high level nuclear submarine hunting Orion's and Rothesay and Leander frigates which were designed by the US/UK as second line nuclear deterrence platforms and in most UK US applications were nuclear wired and operated as part of nuclear defence systems with interoperable sensor.s and weapons. Even the RNZAFs earlier Canberra's and A-4s were designed as pure nuclear non conventional bombers
My heart bleeds for her, not. Testing nuclear weapons? Why, did they think that they might not work? These weapons could well end the planet and it’s the protesters are in the wrong, this is the insanity of human greed.
Are you stupid? Thatcher had no jurisdiction, no control, no say nothing, not a single thing to do with the sovereign nation of which I am a proud citizen.
If indeed the NZ government received 30 million it would seem they were bribed by the French.
@@antipropo461 Well said Kiwi.
Is this like one of the earliest recorded cases of regressive left-wing talking points
As a born and bred New Zealander whose family members fought for the liberation of France in WW2 ...I believe the French people involved in this should still be in jail in NZ today. They should be ashamed of themselves along with whoever let them out of prison.
I totally agree. Everyone involved should have been jailed, and should still be there. It was later revealed that Pierre Lacoste (then head of the DGSE) had personally gotten approval from then President Mitterand. Lacoste and Mitterand should have been in jail too. They're both dead now, but they should both have spent their final years in jail for murder.
@@Luubelaar No, not Mitterand. Mitterand was not that responsible for this and he did a lot for France.

Why don't they have weapons in International waters , those French would have been picked off one by one before it got near my ship , I know everyone will say they are Green Peace , but still allowed to defend your self.

They left out that the rainbow warrior tried ramming a French navy ship a few weeks before this
Why were French navy ships in New Zealand waters? Why were they placing bombs. If they had done this to the usa they would have declared war…
Why’d they have to do that to the seal though
So painfull to watch.
Did France ever issue an official apology after the second illegal boarding? Does Greenpeace still protest nuclear test by all countries? Great video. I've heard small bits before, but never the full story.
No
There’s the test ban treaty now.
Why should they apologize, they should host a celebration every year for it
@@pepebeezon772wtf?
It's easy to be antinuclear and anti national defense when you live on a tiny island in the middle of a vast ocean on the other side of the planet.
Citroens were vandalized in the streets, Le tan and Le Specs advertisements were removed from the telly and the French embassy was paint and baguette bombed . . oh those were the days . . .

Probably should've included some kinda trigger warning before showing the clip of the seal getting its brains bashed in. I didn't think a video about a ship being blown up would be child friendly but jheeze
Just a girl back then I couldn't recall a time I was so proud to be Kiwi, even more so when France sent its killers to bomb a protest boat catapulting a small but vocal country at the bottom of the world onto the world stage. NZ, to this day proudly and fiercely remains a nuclear free zone.
Which is too bad, because nuclear energy is clean.
Jesus. Am I watching ads or a documentary.
No one is shocked that the guy just killed the poor sea lion?! :(
I mean.... Greenpeace was there to stop seal clubbing... so, No.
Go watch
"Sea of slaughter"
They make good boots
Those were crazy times, I was a child then, but I remember how Greenpeace would climb factories, block castor transports, risk their lives by steering their zodiacs between whales and harpoons and trying to prevent tests of atomic bombs by sneaking into the territorial waters of the islands on which the tests were planned. They were our heroes, and we were heartbroken when we heard the news about the Rainbow Warrior and that a photographer had been killed.
A act of war, and no sanctions.
I'm curious if France ever apologized for the bombing, for illegally boarding the Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior twice? So, I emailed the French embassy and asked them. We'll see what they say, if anything at all. I predict, no reply at all. Lockjaw.
France has to this day, refused to admit that the radioactive cloud from Chernobyl passed over their borders. Their right wing are the orginal kings of denial.
Ugh, humans.

Neuclear plants/ mass industraliazation/ mass civilization/ international wars are to be blamed.
Mankind has been filling it's stomach since the ages of hunter-gatherer neanderthals, but they (modern 'we' like them) are not threat to the nature at all..
quite why the french needed 200 tests is a sign they were struggling to produce a viable system. by comparison the british detonated just a handful to produce a far more advanced system than the usa on a shoestring budget and back in the 1950s though obviously the usa out spent them on launch vehicles and the brits could never match that spending. another possibility is that the french also testing weapons for israel. historically they got dassault to develop their missile launch system without even the french government knowing! their nuclear material came from south africa. wiki the samson option.
Roland Lawrence so much BS it’s laughable 🤣
I'm glad the radioactive fish now have some shelter in Matauri Bay... Shame on the French, for exploding their evil bombs at all, let alone in OUR ocean, instead of their own - and for such a pathetic and cowardly attack on a beautiful ship on such an honourable mission.

In some senses during their anti nuclear operational patrol in French eyes the NZ frigates flying the the RNZN battle ensign and engaged in outright electronic warfare with French P-2 Neptunes had in a sense declared war against France and arguably greatly lessesned the scale of the final atmospheric French tests to a couple of triggers. In 1973 the French Neptunes were in 1973 as well equipped as the USN/RAAF Orions (Australia second a/s surveillance squadron operated Neptunes until 1982 the year Argentine flew its own Neptune, Trackers and Sea KIngs against the Task Force). According to Norman Polmars book on the US Nuclear Navy 2016 the Argentine P-2 Neptunes were percieved by the RN as the most dangerous threat to the RN with the two 209 subs. The French government claimed in 1985 that the actions of the NZ Kirk Government and the NZ Navy in sending its frigates into the bomb test, outer exclusion zone , as a protest, presence and disruption of the French governments montioring of the area and its control with sophisticated surveillance and anti sub aircraft. This New Zealand navy activity was one of the 'provocations' was led the French Government to send its Navy and intelligence service to mine the Greepeace vesel Rainbow warrior in Auckland harbour in 1985 ( M. King . NZ since 1945. Hodder & Stoughton. 1988 Auckland). It would also have to be defined as a naval attack on NZ and it's foreign policy. This mission put 11-49 French agents into NZ and nuclear submarines were deployed in NZ waters probably in an attempt to rescue the captured French naval agents (' Beat to the Beehive' 'Ross Meurant, former National MP, NZ police detective) . Meurant made the point the NZ Government and PM David Lange did anything but, point out to New Zealanders the scale and outrageous big stick the French, were waving at disarmed New Zealnd, with some support from Thatcher and Reagan in the months following the mining of the Rainbow Warrior. The French admitted to 11 agents in NZ. according to retiried NZ poltical scientist Keith Ovenden who was living in France at the time , and covering the issue for some intenational media in 1985, the French actually put 49 agents into New Zealand at the time.
I remember in the 90's Greenpeace sank a whaling ship on an island next to the one I grew up at in Norway, so they don't get much sympathy from me honestly. I still eat the meat from the mink whales that we hunt here with strict quotas, knowing the ocean need to be harvested with sense and no animals or fish are more worth then another. What really make my blood boil is watching how they make whales and other wild, arctic animals into circus entertainment. I can't think of worse abuse for killer whales, with their fins getting destroyed in captivity, locked inside a prison, when they belong in a wonderful, endless ocean.
Ahh yes, Greenpeace, the Karen of the seas.
Better than being a cynical troll on the internet.
Dammm them hippies said the villain
Considering what climate “activists” are doing now, France may need to do this again
Your disgusting!
It is outrageous and unacceptable what the French did, and even more horrible and unbelievable that Thatcher didn't back NZ, instead keeping quiet. And to think we're still part of the commonwealth and trading partners with France.
