I can only imagine how tense the crew must've been... How did you feel while watching it?
Scared

Being under dire circumstances:I wouldn't count on surviving, so I'd end my suffering.
burroaks7 wait what
Imagine being that diver having to go hundreds of feet down the surface, all pitch dark. What a legend
Saturation divers work at these depths regularly the deepest being 700m I believe.
Truly heroic, but imagine being the first confident face these guys had seen from the surface. A situation where you gotta remain stoic but always want to hug em :)
Have you tired turning the submarine on and off again
Or blowing on it? ;)
Or plugging it in?
Try putting it in rice.
Can you please tell me the serial number on the bottom of the submarine?
Sorry but I donât think their air supply lets them.
I currently serve on board USS California and we always train on how to deal with situations like this but I couldn't imagine the sheer terror of being disabled stuck on the ocean floor
đđđ to you and all your shipmates on the USS California, Go Navy!!! (From an Army man)
I agree!
Dread
*GO NAVY*
Mr Lines a hearty welcome to You and your shipmates from PSNY! Hope to get a chance to meet you as we begin work on your boat.
Drowing is a depressing and terrifying way to die
glad the mission was successful

Riplitz Gaming I didnât even catch that lol
Tbh many people who have said to have survived drowning have said its all rather peaceful, fire is the worst way to go.
drowing
Yeahhh at that depth its more getting crushed in probably less then a second
That's so sad imagine the door closing and you see the water slowly rise up until you suffocate... Drowning is rah scary I've almost drowned before
I fell in my bathtub once
Yeah, I hope there was some sort of salute
Charlie Ward Games itâs scary
Charlie Ward Games i too almost drowned
Well I also did but the rock saved my life and after that father jumped into water to help me
My son John Mendoza is patrolling the world beneath the waves as I write. He is a submariner. And my hero.
Your son is an amazing man
Sos argentino?
I bow to your son
Few days ago Nanggala 402 of Indonesia was missing from radar. We pray the best for the Indonesians in their efforts to find the missing submarine
They should have used Flex Tape
Ha
Hahahahahahah
It even works underwater!
@@kitfisto145 hakdog
Considering this is a serious moment in history I shouldn't be laughing but....hehe flex tape.
There is a saying in the German Navy:
â...and so the Lord asked the rocks if they wanted to be U-Boat men.
But the rocks said âOh Lord, no, for we are not hard enough!â.
Powerful.
Hey Tim. American submariner here. That is awesome brother.
weird do not ask about my dislike
I can only imagine what I feels like to be trapped in a sinking submarine đ
I got lost in my bathtub once
The worse part would be asking someone to hold the door as they trap you in a flooded room
Jewish Bagel tool
You know that feeling you get when someone in a big floaty drifts over you in the pool
You ever been in a bad marriage?
I served in the Marines and have met my fair share of Submariners. They truly are a different breed of Sailor. I wouldn't mind riding around for a couple days on a submarine but doing a full deployment would probably drive me crazier than I already am.
*These videos are like mini films.*
Thank you! â„
they're like the birdemic of movies tho...
More like documentaries
I love this channel so much. i start off with these short story/docs then I look for the Full documentaries!
Pray for nanggala 402, 53 crews still missing inside a sunken submarine 700m down of bali ocean đ
Im here after the Indonesian submarine Nanggala goes missing. Lets just pray for the crewđ đ„
Do you know, why were they unable to escape
Sorry but I didnât know Indonesia had a navy. That sub didnât make right?
Itâs amazing the ingenuity, resilience and ability of humanity in a crisis. This happened with only mechanical technology. That blows my mind.
Imagine how you must feel if you are in a room with water rushing in and you just see someone seal shut the the only way out
Man it must heartbreaking knowing your going to die
This was a test, during war, they would be already closed. Most deaths in ship sinkings are the engineering crew as they were trap.
@@ZachCremisiSky Note to self, then: Donât be part of a submarineâs engineering crew.
rest in peace for all the brave men that died on the ship either sacrifacing themselves by closing the door on themselves just to save the others or getting trapped
I feel sad for the people at the bottom
They shouted to keep it open but what was done had to be done đąđ
Ship before shipmates and yourself
yeah, its a terrible decision to have to make, the captain hated it as much as them man who had to carry it out... if not more. both lived out their days with that guilt of killing men they served with on their mind.
The sad news for Indonesia has lost contact with Indonesian submarines. I hope Indonesian submarines can be found, Aamiin
This is why I always jokingly say to my wife, thereâs no need for fiction because thereâs so many amazing, incredible stories
But fiction break science so still better

Thereâs a story in my family that my grandpa Jackson Hoyle Brown was the youngest submariner ever. He ran away from home when he was 15 and lied about his age to join the navy and went straight onto a submarine.
i was younger. i joined when i was 12.
Wow that take true bravery to go through that and then serve again in ww2. The world needs more dedication like that.
"doomed all the men behind that door to death."
And now happened in indonesia, hope they all will survive,

11:17 (to 11:25) You hear that Captains of the Costa Concordia and Oceanos? That's how REAL captains behave in a disaster scenario.
As the daughter of a captain Iâm
Not so sure about your comment.
I used to cry as a child because I knew how captains were meant to behave and I was terrified my father would never come home as he would go down with his ship. It may be how they are meant to behave but s a captains daughter thatâsworried me the most
How dare you question the decision those Captains made to co-ordinate the rescues from there room at the local holiday inn.
In college, my history teacher told us this story in short installments: he'd only give us little bits of the story after each test in the course and challenged us not to just google the story. Now that was a challenge - he left us on the biggest cliffhangers!
i'd absolutely prefer serving on a submarine over a surface ship. there are really only two kinds of sea-going vessels these days, submarines and targets.
@@StudiosUntold a ship or a US navy ship?
@@StudiosUntold you talking about in Iran cause you are not making sense
To clarify, that is Portsmouth New Hampshire. USS Squalas was under going sea trials after completion at Portsmouth naval shipyard Kittery Maine. After she was raised and repaired she was renamed Sailfish. Same type of rescue bell is on display outside the PSNY museum and her sail is displayed on the yard mall.
I read this story as a teenager in reader's digest titled the squalus is down. It was very inspirational. They were given food and water when the bell was first attached and one of the crewmen ask what no napkins. They all had a serious amount of courage and also a little humor.
This event is detailed in the book "The Terrible Hours". by Peter Maas.
It is both exceptionally-well researched and written.
I thoroughly recommend it; but advise that the events detailed are extremely harrowing.
Thank you for the video about this relatively unknown event.
Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell, New Zealand.
Let's pray for KRI Nanggala 402 from Indonesia đźđ© can make it and survive. April 2021
SSGN 726, equal number of dives and surfaces.
We generally didn't discuss the number of ways to die with our girlfriends. It is comforting to know the brain isn't fast enough to grasp the final second.
I was a leading petty officer on my last submarine and served two Submarines. I am a Submariner for the USA .
So basically,
Never get in a submarine
Or bring some diving gear and welder...just in case hatch gets stuck.
Who cares, you just respawn in 3 minutes, have none of you played barotrauma? I wouldnât be surprised if you didnât even know what an endworm is.
@@T-74 Only played We need to go deeper, so stress of trying to repair leaking submarine, while fighting off invading enemies, trying to keep your gunner able to shoot enemies outside and not drowning isn't new.
Yes
-_- I worked on an Astute class submarine. Great ship
This is one of the most gut wrenching submarine stories Iâve ever heard. Thanks for doing this. I signed up for submarine service in 1983, but do to an odd series of events, it never happened. I often think about the challenges I might have faced.
You'd think they'd design submarines with escape pods or something. Smaller submarines that can be launched from the larger vessel. I mean, overwater ships have lifeboats, so why not submarines?
I'm an Army man and I'm terrified to be in the Navy...but lord. My respect to any man or woman that is. Dying in a submarine is a scary thought since your body may never be recovered!
I bet that diver was narc'd out so bad. What a crazy story. Brave dudes
Sinking
Just like all my friend *ships*

Ha!
Great story and the graphics were an important addition. Thnx
Thank you Peter! â„
The men drowning reminded me of the scene from battlefield 4
Thanks for the Video. As an STS2 (SS) myself. I am proud to serve in the submarine community.
STG2 here. You people are crazy. Much respect from your sonar brothers up top
Shower tech.... stay safe brother. A- gang
A really inspiring storyđđ. Iam honoured at the men and women who serve
There's no women submarine I guessed?
Not only was the breathing device named after him, Momsen was half the creating force for the rescue bell and was on the rescue ship. This gentleman needs more credit for his actions in saving sailors lives.
This would make for an amazing hollywood movie
Submarines are amazing!!
Tell me why I got an ad about a movie where a submarine cracks underwater?
WTH they complaining about? submarines are supposed to sink
Thatâs so messed upđ
hahaha
:l HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Yeah, poor choice of words đ
I know I shouldnât be laughing but I am đ
I live in New London, CT! So crazy to hear it randomly. My grandfather worked at the Submarine building facility, Iâve been able to watch the launches and their sailing in and out of base too! Unbelievable to see them mixed in with ferries and normal boat traffic, their size is outrageous if youâve only seen them in video.
I salute the captain for making his crew get rescued before him even if there's no guarantee that the 2nd attempt would be successful as the first
Itâs CRAZY I can remember watching videos from 200k sub
I ship off to Navy RTC in a few months and then NF school after that, and I filled out all the paperwork for the Sub volunteer service. So here's hoping.
Being a Bubblehead and a Navy Diver, I was qualified on the Mc Cann rescue Chamber as an operator. The reason that it took so long to descend to the deck of the submarine is the drive motor that PULLS the Chamber to the submarine is driven by a motor powered by Air pressure supplied thru a hose from the ship above. "Slow"..... Plus they were still getting the bugs out of the system in 1938...
I'm in the Navy and I know people who were aboard the USS John S. McCain and one of the sailors I know had to close one of the scuttles on a birthing full of their shipmates. They have been medically discharged due to severe depression and PTSD caused by the event. I keep contact with them and help where I can with their coping.
I've kept the identity of this sailor confidential due to the sensitivity of their situation
âWith just a few inches of steel between themâ lol
It was great because I breathed on it.
One of your biggest fans. I love everything about your videos.
@@rayh7989 ok submarine man
Thank you very much! đ
jay got an f in history that day
5:08 just curious - wouldn't it have been easier to rescue some men behind the door and shut them close all together?
Ar Smile Not enough time. Better to doom some of the crew than wait and doom all of the crew
1:44
Well one should certainly think that submarines are "vital tools of underwater warfare"!
is it just me or the narrator really should not be saying '23 men died' in this super cheerful tone? Does he now know of other emotions? I don't know why, but it bothers me greatly
Yeah it makes me sick thinking about it honestly
I've heard of this rescue. It was a great one. It helped bring about much better under-water rescue devices n techniques. God bless the man who brought that about.
i just signed an secf contract to be stationed on a submarine 3 days ago and this did not help
Then why specifically choose to compete for the first subs to allow women on them at all? Go Aecf instead maybe.
This Ladies and GentlemenâŠ.is a true Captain. A Marvelous sailor and leader of the sea.
He takes a flashlight!
Shows a spanner
The electrical engineer is a hero
If you send a bowey why not send a air hose up with it. There you go unlimited air! Sorry I didn't know how to spell boweyxD
I served in submarines. Got lucky and my first duty station was Hawaii!
*Das Boat entered my mind.*
You should play Uboat game, it's on steam!
Right off the coast of New Hampshire where this happened, the USS Thresher sunk as well but it imploded at too great of a depth.
Enlisted for MMS. Going to bootcamp June 22nd. I'm excited to serve my part onboard a submarine like the brave Sailors before me.
This should be a movie. I would pay to go see it
My great grandfather was a survivor of the USS Squalus.
Love these animations
Thanks for watching! đ
Whos here after what happened with the Indonesian submarine?
Yes, I would and have served onboard a sub.
And later they recommissioned this ship (under another name) and it had a successful career in WWII.
:-O
Yes, as USS Sailfish. She would go on to serve throughout the entire war and sink quite a few ships, including an aircraft carrier
I read a book about this. Amazing. What the book said is that the phone line got broken because someone tied it too close to the ship otherwise there would have been slack. Also the rocket buoy was different then the phone buoy.
This is pretty sick this needs to have a book or movie
Hello been a long time fan can you please do a video o. What happens when someone get paralyzed thanks hope you see this
malik johnson not really his area
In one of the great ironies of history, the submarine USS Sculpin was standing by near the sunken Squalus, listening for tap messages from its trapped crew. The Squalus was eventually raised, repaired, and decommissioned as the USS Sailfish. Several years later during WW2, both Sailfish and Sculpin were deployed to the Pacific. The USS Sculpin was attacked and sunk by enemy destroyers (a Navy Officer CMDR Cromwell, who was supposed to be dropped off in the Phillipines to give valuable information about Allied plans to invade the Phillipines, went down with the sub rather than be captured and possibly be broken under torture. He was posthumously awarded the MOH), and a large part of her crew were captured by the Japanese. However on their way to Japan aboard a prison ship, their ship was torpedoed and sunk, and a number of Sculpin crew died. The sub that fired the torpedoes that sunk their ship was the USS Sailfish.
Isn't it pronounced Sub-mare-in-ers.
For the question at the end. I don't know and I don't choose, if you could choose your exact role in the military, some branches would be too full and others would be empty
The boats used during the first and second world wars technically weren't submarines, they were more akin to semi-submersible attack boats since they didn't operate purely under water.
Such better content than when they decided to try to become "Master Strategists" about warfare.

Imagine being in the engine room as your colleague closes the hatch on you, someone you probably considered your friend, dooming you to slowly drown in a steel chamber... and for what?
Because a few people decided they didn't have enough dirt.

Another awesome and interesting video...videos like this are awesome.. Thanks infographic..đđ

Videos like these are always a motivational documentary for me đ
Thx for telling us how many workers died in world war 2
I first read about this in maybe the fourth grade in a book of insane survival stories. Iâve had a fear of the deep sea ever since.
This is just one of the many reasons why we should respect our Military Personnel
This would make an amazing movie for sure
I would like to point out that the submarine shown is a GERMAN Electroboat from 1945, not a US Submarine Design from the 1930s.
6:08 Saline water is a better conductor of electricity than the human body, so he'll be completely safe, actually.
