Yeah, must've been an experience. I find it fascinating how humans are able to do these things for the first time with such a basic equipment. Just like early diving. And going to the Moon in a tincan and piece of foil.
@@kristiankoski3908 Oh man, the ones that always ring in my head are the test pilots around the late fourties through the fifties, the chuck yeagers and otherwise. They sent some hairy aircraft up there! Incredible engineering, too, but cartoonishly sketchy
@@Mccaigg damn right one of my favourite games think I was 9 or 10 when I played the first one on Xbox nostalgia to the max , never played infinite though after the ending of number two I didn’t like the idea of being on the surface
If I remember history correctly, a modern version of the diving bell system was used during the Squalus rescue in the 30s, and it was pretty damn effective save for some winch troubles. The only difference was they used an air hose leading to the surface rather than sending down an air tank (like the barrel) separately.
Imagine being one of the first dudes to have to go down 1000+ feet underwater in a device like this. Terrifying

The video game Bioshock did such a great job of using these real historical inventions in it's fiction.
Led shoes… that explains why big daddy was always stomping.
Great game

Brings back bioshock memories, good old times
Yep this is bioshock for the times🥲🥲🥲
Just a show of how much we have modernized over the years. Amazing. Makes you a lot more thankful for what we have today.
These old clips are so fascinating and informative. Better than anythiing that’s come out since 2000.
you're watching the wrong modern shows then...
Just like the propaganda Grandad use to make
How is a video on diving technology propaganda

this is fascinating
2:09 how did they move the pointer in 1939
That'll be 'stop motion' a very old trick in early cinematography:-)
its fake mandela effect
Wow.
That was amazing!
.. bathysphere? BIOSHOCK REFERENCE
So that's how they retrieved all those treasures from ship wrecks?🤔
Amazing
It's all fun until your nose itches
Lol!
True
"...you put arms on a pipe, then put Tom in it? Then dropped him in the ocean?" "We sealed the ends!"
I just want to know how they recorded a video underwater in 1939
The same way they recorded torpedo launches from submarines underwater in WW1
Seems surprisingly sophisticated, they even have phone in the suit.
this brings back memories
Ryan Rivers lmao were you alive in 1939 too? Or are you talking about Bioshock?
Of what?
You should change your username if you want this joke to work
BIOSHOCK VIBES
How old are you?
Interesting video
Underwater Welding??😅
Nope. Brave souls I tell ya. 300 FEET!!!!! Jesus.... 9 hours of oxygen in an iron man. Ok I have no idea but sure Jan.
*the bathysphere was invented by OTIS BARTON and merely named by William Beebe.
Дякую
Long time ago there is different types of mark diving suits, the only used one now are the mark 5/V suits
Is that Stewie Griffin
Everyone in this is dead.
And you may be too since this comment was made
Imagine if things today were as informative as this video? I’m convinced WWI & II killed all the good people on this planet
That was the point to those ghastly wars
Me: *sees thumbnail*
Also me: watchu know about rolling down
How did they know where it would be deep, like 5 miles deep, Back in the 30s. Just surprised at the technologies.
I thought this was a movie about your mom.
