The Sunken Graveyard Of Lost Atomic Bombs | Dive Detectives
The Northern Mariana Islands form a remote archipelago 2,500 kilometers southeast of Tokyo, perched on the precipice of the deepest point in the world, the Mariana Trench.
Tinian, one tiny island in this spectacularly beautiful region, played a critical role during World War II. The site of a program known as Project Alberta, Tinian was the top-secret assembly and launch point for the atomic bombs readied for use against the Japanese, two of which, Little Boy and Fat Man, made history when deployed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
The trail leads to a massive off-shore dumpsite, a veritable World War II museum beneath the crystal blue waters. The seafloor is scattered with unexploded ordnance and bomb parts that contain phosphorous, forcing the Dive Detectives to take special precautions. Unsuspecting local divers have pulled the coral-like material to the surface, where it can ignite in the air, burning at up to 800 degrees Celsius and causing serious injuries.

Please me being a 21 yr vet in the army. Any and all atomic weapons were taken to San Diego followed to Area 51 for storage. Then moved to Texas for permeant storage for security reasons.

Yes, Carswell, then what is now Pantex, I believe. At least the cores were. They may have ditched some of the casings, but those went into the Trench, to keep them from being recovered and reverse engineered.

Area 51 (Dreamland/Groom Lake) has never stored nuclear weapons, Nellis AFB (Lake Mead Base/Area 2) has two weapons storage areas. Weapons going to Pantex in Texas are for stockpile stewardship (maintenance) or dismantling. They do store the plutonium pits removed, roughly 14,000 of them at last count.

Thank you for sharing this information, I find this info very interesting, especially after watching something about the super extreme secrecy about Area 51 and some of its former employees from around the 50s and 60s.
TLDR they found a few military amphenol connectors which are used in 1001 applications and claim to found a bit of one of the bombs. Absolute junk history.
@ 42:30 that is a socket for what is called a Cannon Plug. Nothing military specific, it's just a very common multi-pin electrical connector with a metal housing that screws together. They are everywhere, used for everything, even today. I bet if they turned around and looked at the camera gear filming themselves, they would have found 1 or 2 in use. Totally mundane dime-a-dozen connector and not evidence of an A-bomb housing.

Project Alberta was a great success, I have always been very interested about the subject 👍
Check out those "pineapple" frag grenades and all that other ordnance @ 10:33 - 10:43 ! I have collected inert ordnance, firearms, cartridges, bayonets, knives, swords, bladed weapons, and other militaria over the past 25 years. If there was someway to de-activate some of those pieces safely and then "restore" them close to how they originally looked, alot of those pieces could be worth some good $$ at gun shows, machine gun shoots, museums, etc.
The nuclear ☢️ part of both bombs were built right here in WA at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Unfortunately though, I moved about 30 miles South of the reservation 20yr ago this summer. Now I’m a downwinder.
They knew how to make an atomic bomb but never learned how to recycle.
13:23 Quonset Huts. It’s a tribe from Rhode Island…my home state.
Considering they had to melt down the demon core to potentially build a 3rd bomb and fissile material was beyond rare at the time of the end of WW2, what are you looking for? an empty bomb casing? There would be no nuclear material just dumped at that time. They wanted it all for more bombs.
Why don’t you ever cite the makers of these old docs? That’s basic integrity.

All of the B29’s had a variable pitch propeller. Pulling the propellers through was done to make sure the bottom cylinders were not full of oil before start. Not a method of “kick starting” the engine. If you make a history documentary please get the facts straight.

Your right to judge this man does not exist . the world was an entirely different place with only one goal . Win to survive .not only did japan hit pearl harbor they shelled the Oregon coast .trying to knock out a fuel depo for refueling ships they did shell them but the navy had come refueled and left day's before so the tanks were empty .and do not forget they occupied the Aleutian Islands for some time and fled when they knew the U.S. was coming .
The Soviet’s invasion would probably have been enough. The bombs could not have been.
whatever
Well the Japanese shouldn't have never messed with Pearl Harbor and it would have never happened from the start Ok if you play stupid games you will win stupid prizes obviously
Deep they would have to go deep and maybe Ai 🤖 to know what kind it is ok not Ai but scanners maybe from space Something to detect the amount of what ever it was made of and has Deep definitely and ships and the robots to go down to it and inspect with human control as well Maybe just coat it and not move it 😂 Not sure about moving it 😂

The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God.

lol "war crime". Japan didn't declare war before they bombed PH, they ended 3 thousand US soldiers/sailors and civilians lives in a sneak attack because they felt like it. Was that a "war crime", too? Maybe they shouldn't have done that with all the big plans they had for Singapore, Philippines, etc.? FDR said the US wouldn't have went to war over that. Turned their "co-prosperity sphere" into the "no prosperity sphere". It was 80 years ago, no need to virtue signal over it.
