Thank you all for the kind words! I truly appreciate each and every one of you for being here! However, as some of you have already mentioned in the comments, I want to address some points that have been brought up regarding certain incorrect facts mentioned in this video. Upon further review, I've realized that there were inaccuracies in certain segments, and I want to sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. In particular: - At 2:39 the measurement systems got mixed up during production. "14.6 LBS force per square METER" is mentioned which should have been "per square INCH" - The only body that was left unrecognizable was of Truls Hellevik, because he was the only one that was sucked through the small crescent shaped opening. the bodies of the other divers were mostly intact externally since most of the damage was done internally. It is very important to me that all content on this channel is thoroughly researched and fact-checked, and I'm committed to ensuring the highest level of accuracy.

@@mich5924 Firearms are generally safe as long as you are operating them properly and are using the right ammo.

I understand that guns and gun-usage are scary topics that make people nervous, but calling the gun itself dangerous is just silly. It's no more of a "dangerous device" than a car, lawnmower or grill and I doubt you'd even bat an eye at any of those things.

Like you said down below, 12-18 hours... That is what jobs are turning into these days. Right now I am a commuter rail operator and they have this thing for certain schedules where they can keep you for 16 hours with 9 hours off and have you work for another up to 16 hours and it is legal per DOT guidelines. Its good money, but extremely unsafe and we did have someone who lost their life over 8 years ago working under these conditions.

This is a big issue in Canada, and was brought to the forefront a few years ago, with a tragic accident. I would say that they haven't done much since, because the powers-that-be just don't care. As long as the politicians have their graft, and for those who are semi-honest, their PENSIONS, we will never have administrators (for that's all they are! including Prime Ministers and Presidents) that work for the common good.

@BlackPill-pu4vi That is because the world is moving too fast. We sacrifice safety only for the end result of products and services, and when one f*** up happens, a liability is always held accountable even when that liability is pressured into doing something unsafe. Unsafe actions become habit forming as a norm, but again, when the time comes, the liability is thrown to the wolves. It's like that time between 2005-2008, there was a problem with salmonella in our produce, one most notibly with spinach and we still to have that issue popping up to date with that and other contaminants in our consumables. That is how fast we are moving. We will put stuff on the shelves and up to weeks later, that is when an announcement is made only after an X amount of people turn ill.

Wrong. The diving equipment was only 8 years old at the time of the accident, it wasn't outdated for that time. The accident happened over 40 years ago, the entire culture around oilfield safety has changed a lot since then. I know, I was there for the before and after. Is it perfect now? Hardly, but then neither are many other industries which expose workers to dangerous situations. Today's diving equipment is far safer of course, just as today's commercial aircraft are far safer than they were 40 years ago. Why? Because people had to die to expose shortcomings in equipment and procedures, forcing governmental agencies to change regulations applicable to the particular industries. Like it or not, it's the way the world works.

Working 18 hour ships all week is guaranteed to cause accidents. When I worked on a unionized construction site, we weren't allowed to work such long hours, but people still worked while sleep-deprived. Even if it didn't cause accidents, it still caused trouble. Problem-solving takes longer if you haven't slept properly.

Used to work in industrial environment doing 14-16 hours every day. Doing weeks and months you get tired enough to not to even realize that you are tired. Once I made a 2 tons pallet nearly fell on me, it was just pure luck that a nearby colleague saw it and pushed me out of it's way. Nobody should be doing this many hours, it's just not healthy.

As a former (SS) Submarine Sailor I remember part of our training was as deep as 400 ft deep we were told we could possibly escape the submarine and were told we let air out a little bit at a time on the way up so our lungs 🫁 wouldn’t expand too much on the way up. What a crock. We’d all have the bends so bad even at 300 ft and on up we’d most likely never survive even with the pressure chamber above when we surfaced.

It actually depends. If the sub imploded violently, everybody would most probably pass out and drown. If you escaped from a pressurized escape air lock, there is a chance that you could swim to the surface in about three minutes, only slightly bent if you spent less than a minute in the airlock. The air in your lungs would expand about ten times, so it would be a continuous exhalation, without the need to inhale. However, that is only if you don't pass out due to oxygen toxicity, nitrogen narcosis or ruptured ear drums if you fail to equalize while in the airlock. So yes, chances of survival from such depth are pretty slim.
