    Agreed, I skip through ad reads on most videos I watch but not Nic's. He has a great way of making the ad feel like it belongs in the video and adds a lot of humor to them. He seems to only accept ads that he believes in and doesn't do the typical stuff like raid shadow legends or ridge wallet. Also as a reaction channel, IMO it's courteous to leave his ads in, since that is what is helping providing you with content to react to.

    when talking about the bermuda triangle, you also have to take into account the sheer number of ships and planes that travel there. While there are a large amount of these that go missing, its actually to the same degree as any other location in terms of percentage. theres a large number of missing vessels, but a larger number of vessels travel through there.

    I can understand your confusion about this German sub getting to Chicago, but I feel that the Fat Electrician should of known better. Chicago has history of being a Army/Navy training center during WWI and the Navy training center during WWII. The pier in Chicago that juts out into Lake Michigan (part of the St Lawrence Seaway / Great Lakes into the Atlantic Ocean) was renamed Navy Pier in honor of WWI vets. After Pearl Harbor, from 1942-1945 the Navy ran fast-track training for air pilots using makeshift aircraft carriers on Lake Michigan. This eliminated the chance of enemy attacks that could happen in open ocean waters. PS In 1954, the U-505 was towed from Portsmouth, N.H. through the Great Lakes to Chicago. Also search for "Moving the U-505 Submarine" video as it travels the streets of Chicago.

    St. Laurence Seaway leads to the Great Lakes. Chicago is on the shore of Lake Michigan. The tricky part would be lifting it out of the water to move it to it's display at the museum. My family took the tour back when I was in grade school. It was pretty cool, but definitely not a big man friendly boat. Low hatchways and narrow walkways were kind of awkward for my dad. He was taller than 6 feet, with broad shoulders, which made things a little claustrophobic.

    A couple of verbal corrections. The boat transporting the sailors to the sub is a motor whaleboat (that’s what they were called when I was in the Navy). Boatswain Mate is not pronounced as it’s written. It’s Bosun, or Bos’n, Mate. Long ‘o’, short ‘u.’ Naval ships practice damage control constantly. Where will you go if your ship sinks? Add ship damage control with experience in critical systems operations and you get a very capable, motivated crew.

    The thing is the 9 guys that went onto the sub were not submariners themselves. They were part of the destroyer hunter killer group so I would think a sub especially a German sub would be totally different to operate than a ship and to do it under stress of sinking to the bottom as water was still coming in while they were trying to defuse bombs, plug holes, trying to get the bilge pumps working while having very limited power and the propellers jammed because the motors not working, is just amazing. I can’t even begin to imagine the knowledge, skill and being able to think on the fly while in a dire situation being able to think hey let’s dismantle the driveshaft so the propellor can turn which will work the alternator and give us the power we need to run the pumps, it’s amazing!

    I live in a suburb of Chicago. Growing up, I went through the U505 dozens of times. It's a fantastic exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. (MSI) As for the Bermuda Triangle, yes, there seems to be a large number of ships and planes that go missing, or disappear in the triangle, but when you consider that thousands of ships and airplanes do not go missing every day, I have my doubts. As for getting it to Chicago, it was brought through the St Lawrence seaway, and across the Great Lakes to Chicago. The museum is near Lake Michigan. Also, until recently, a few of the German crew used to attend things like the rededications and restorations. (I'm not sure if any of the crew are still alive.)

    I haven't been in the navy. But I've been on submarines many times. When I was a kid the US Naval Reserve had a WW II sub [USS Lionfish] docked just a mile from my home. On Navy Day every year, civilians could tour Navy ships and boats (subs are boats; and are NEVER referred to as ships). The Navy guys seem to get a kick out of entertaining the local kids. I visited more than once. That same sub is now located at Battleship Cove, in Fall River, Massachusetts where there is quite a collection of WWII ships.. I took my nephew there to visit the ships and boats. We toured the Lionfish. I also brought him to the USS Nautilus Museum in Groton, Connecticut. FYI, the Nautilus was the world's first nuclear powered sub. So I've been on a WWII sub and a nuclear sub. The Nautilus was much roomier than the WWII Lionfish, but still quite cramped.

    Hi Kabir, I too, would like to go down in a submarine. I've ridden in almost every vehicle there is: Jet and prop planes, helicopters, cars, motorcycles, balloons, trains and a wide variety of watercraft-- but alas, no submarine! I had a friend who was in the US Navy. He was an anti-submarine warfare technician. As part of his training, he got to go down in a submarine. I asked him what it was like, and he told me it was definitely not for the claustrophobic, but otherwise it wasn't remarkable. Of course, he was never a submariner, his job was to locate and monitor Soviet submarines. He was stationed in Iceland most of the time. He told me they could identify each specific enemy sub by their sound signature. For instance, the props had subtle differences in pitch, and sometimes little anomalies, like a lose rivet or something.

    Relatively few of the 2700 ships sunk by U-boats were American. Most were owned by the UK or Commonwealth nations. American shipyards, including one where my grandfather worked, did build several thousand replacements, as well as many of the UK and Allied warships that defeated the U-boats in the "Battle of the Atlantic." There is an excellent 1953 UK film called "The Cruel Sea" about the desperate times before the U.S. entered the war. "Destroyer escorts" were smaller and slower versions of destroyers, which were needed to escort larger warships and couldn't be spared to protect cargo ships. Cheaper and faster to build, destroyer escorts were designed specifically for anti-submarine warfare. Small "escort carriers," nicknamed "baby flattops," were also deployed. So many of these were built, more than 100, that each large Allied supply convoy could be protected by aircraft. Since World War 2 submarines needed to spend most of the time on the surface, they were easy targets for planes and the new warships equipped with radar. In addition to the Enigma machine, some of the technology used in German submarines was better than what the Allies had. This was known or might have been known at the time. The original video made it sound like getting the submarine to Chicago was a miraculous accomplishment. It was simply towed there in the 1950s, after the construction of the canals and locks that connect the Great Lakes to the St. Lawrence River and the Atlantic Ocean.

    (1) The Bermuda Triangle is not really a thing. It keeps getting its borders expanded to take into account every accident or sinking, so it's more like the Bermuda Trapezoid at this point. But in an area with shallow coral reefs, bad weather (including Hurricanes) and lots of fog, accidents do happen. Like they do in the Northern Atlantic, which has more accidents, but nobody accounts for the Titanic and Andrea Doria as part of a "triangle." (2) I've been in a submarine as a visitor, and it's cramped, but they apparently have the best food, and some very highly educated nuclear engineers, chemistry engineers, and very high tech systems. (3) The astronaut you're actually asking about is Chris Hadfield.

    Admiral Daniel Gallery wrote a whole book on the capture. This guy is kinda right but the real story is better. I served in the US Navy Submarine service from 1964 to 1970. I was primarily on a Nuc boat but spent some time on a WW II vintage diesel boat in 1969. What is it like. Hard to say. Not much different than sitting in your living room. The deck does slope for a bit and you do bob around if it is sloppy outside. The interior is brightly lit except for the berthing areas. Once you are below 100 feet is mostly no noticeable movement. Right now there are probably 2 to 3000 people underwater from all Navies all around the world. One of the biggest things I would notice is after been submerged for 2 months was how bad the outside air smelled. Worse then the baddest used Gym sock. Stunk to high heaven. You got use to it pretty quickly but that always struck me.

    Quite a few ships have gone missing in the bermuda triangle. One theory is methane gas rising from the seabed changes the viscosity of the ocean water causing any ship in the immediate area to sink within minutes. Once the methane buble bursts, the water rushes in on top of the sinking ship causing the ship to rapidly sink before it can call for help and give its location. Just a theory but a viable one. Still have a lot of ships/boats dissappear in that area. Quite a few are probably taken by cartels for drug smuggling and scuttled after making their drops. That normally means the people originally on the boat are disposed of which is a horrible situation.

    The Bermuda Triangle is an exaggerated myth, ships have disappeared there but the rate is no different than other similar parts of the ocean. It's one of the busiest places in the world for ocean traffic so just statistically speaking you're more likely to have incidents with more traffic. It's also an area that often gets unpredictable weather like hurricanes, but there's nothing mysterious or supernatural about it.

    I've *visited* a sub, but I don't know what vintage it was. It was during Portland, Oregon's annual Rose Festival Fleet Week in the early 80s. Several US Navy and some Canadian Navy ships come into port and tie up at our waterfront downtown, the sailors get shore leave, and people tour the ships. Which is a whole story in itself (it gets wild), but one year the Canadians had a sub along. It used to be that the Canadians had older ships they'd bought from the US, but I doubt this sub was WWII vintage. So likely bigger. However, some friends and I ended up on it, in the aft torpedo room with as many sailors as could fit in there with us, drinking Salty Dogs. (I don't know about now, but in keeping with Royal Navy traditions, the Canadian ships also allowed booze on board back then.) (Also, Salty Dogs are horrible - grapefruit juice and gin or vodka - but hey, we were in our 20s, three of us surrounded by a largish bunch of mostly cute guys, booze, who's complaining?) So we got a cursory tour. (Booze! Sailors!) It was cramped. Very. And darkish. Lots of things to bump into. I was glad I was short. Also, we spent most of the time in the aft torpedo room. Drinking. (That's all.) But at least I can say I was on a still-operational sub once. 😄 i've never actually toured the half-submerged decommissioned sub we have at our museum of science and industry, the USS Blueback, the last surviving sub of her class in the world. She also starred as the sub in the 1990 movie "The Hunt for Red October".

    Toured the sub back in 1977, while going through my class "C" school at Great Lakes. Was stationed aboard a nuclear fast attack submarine at Pearl Harbor. All kidding aside, those German sailors had big brass ones, as the boat was very small compared to the nuc boats I was familiar with. Out of 40,000 German submarine sailors during the war. about 30,000 never made it back home.

    I haven't done a lot of research on the Bermuda triangle but the way I understand it is there's just a mixture of things. Some of it is just the radio signals are really bad, so people would lose contact with boats and ships in that area. So when they popped up somewhere else then it was a weird event. One of the other theories I've heard is also that there could have been pirates in the area or durg runners who would cause ships to disappear by sinking them or what not. But yes, a lot of weird things have happened in that area.

    The Bermuda Triangle includes the area of the most common path of hurricanes to the US where it intersects with the notorious Gulf Stream current so I can imagine that the propensity for more wrecks is legitimate.

    There’s a valid reason why that generation was dubbed The Greatest Generation, by the generations OLDER than them. Keep in mind, this generation was raised during the Great Depression, and the US was never taken seriously before playing a part in WWII. When Americans did get involved, there were several mistakes made, amateur mistakes, but there was something about that generation that did not give up. For better or for worse, Americans love to push the boundaries, so this exposes the mindset these men had when it came to pushing the limit. It’s something I think we all could look back and learn from their stories, and I think we should make the effort to implement the cliche ‘yes we can’ attitude cause the world seems to be at a place where we need more people to take those risks and fight back for a better outcome than the options we tend to get delivered as of late.
