I work for the company that built the thresher. There are reminders all over the damn building and people walking around with a 129 sticker. Took me months to find out the 129 stood for the casualties on the boat.

It’s not the company’s fault that a valve froze and didn’t allow water to jettison from a ballast tank….isnt that what happened? Stop beating yourselves up about it.

@deplorablelibertarian dude I'm 30......I wasint even a sperm cell when this happened. Trust me I'm not beating myself up lol 🤣😂😆

My grandfather was supposed to serve on Thresher on April 7th, but didn't get his orders until April 10th, the day it sank. He then went on to serve on the USS Jack shortly after its launch, where he was stationed until the end of 66, months before the ship was commissioned.

The Scorpion’s wreck is interesting in that unlike the Thresher, large chunks of her are still largely intact, which seems to indicate that she was partially flooded already when she approached crush depth.

All this news about Titanic and then Titan brought me here. Deep ocean gives me anxiety for sure. Brave people being on submarines and submersibles.

@@schumbo8324 8,400ft last year US Government released the classified files(unclassified now) to the public. It's entire recording(manuscript) from captain of USS Seawolf(US Submarine) in his search for the USS Thresher. Seawolf located the thresher sitting at bottom of Atlantic ocean due to sailors inside the sub knocking and sending out 2 SOS beacons. They could hear everything on radio the captain of USS Seawolf was saying but due to Thresher imploding and electronics failure they couldn't use radio... instead they tapped on hull and used stress beacon until batteries ran out. I believe late day 2 before day 3 the knocking stopped. This was on USS Seawolf's 4th dive in the search. The solar and radio silence on 4th dive and 129 sailors were pronounced dead by Seawolf and US Navy. However Kennedy(president) and Navy Admiralty reported Thresher crew dead hours after losing contact due to underwater explosion reported by USS Skylark on Threshers deep dive testing. Thresher was in communication but when Thresher attempted to surface ice formed in ballast ports and in short it couldn't surface instead began taking on water and began to sink deeper past crush depth and then imploded... it all happened in just 10 minutes.

A glow in dark wreck for sure. USS Thresher and Tinosa were both defective in design and should have been scrapped or never built, but it was the cold war. These men perished in an undeclared war. USS Thresher was a comedy of errors resulting tragedy. Scorpion was gross negligence.

We've already been down there a couple times. There's nothing down there, just water. No fish no crustaceans, just water and darkness. The dude who did the titanic movie went down there, there's a good docu on here about it. Nothing going on at that depth

A rushed retrofit.

This is very interesting footage from the 1980s. The first thing that strikes me is the condition of the wreck after over two decades. The absence of the usual encrustation might indicate a leak of radiation which prevented micro-organisms to grow on the wreck. Only speculation, of course, but that may account for what we see here. Any info of that kind would still be classified.

It's very deep, not a lot of "growing" things there due to no sun light penetrating that deep. As well as water is a powerful radiation absorber/shield. Thats why you can happily swim in a pool where nuclear waste is stored just inches from it without taking damage. So there is no way your theory is correct.

@@maegenyoungs2591 well then they've been wanting for a very long time.. the reality is the us navy has rov's now, they don't need civilians with special equipment to inspect stuff on the bottom of the ocean. 40 years ago yes they did, today they don't and id assume that site is offlimits. It might not be listed as offlimits but when a nuclear-powered sub surfaces out of nowhere and a rib shows up with dudes with machine-guns you get the point that it's off-limits. And if you don't think that the us gov does that stuff... well you're sadly mistaken, there's a nuclear reactor and nuclear warheads down there, until they're beyond use/repair people won't be going down there without the US'S supervision. When they're leaking radiation they'll be 100% off-limits which given the amount of time they've been submerged they most likely are leaking radiation. They're broken arrows, and any country in the world would benefit from having them, except maybe the British whom I'm sure have identical weapons. I just think there's a very likely reason we don't have better video of this wreck and it has to do with those nuclear weapons...
