Crimson Tide

[@marcconte3275]

this scene always got to me as a kid. the choice between the needs of the many or the needs of the few. no command ever wants to lose packs, but it is the nature of war to sustain casualties.

[@matthewkent5212]

I wouldn't say this is a kid friendly film especially with all the swearing.

[@chrismc410]

​@@matthewkent5212depends on the kid. I'm Air Force brat. Like all military brats, we learn from a very young age that situations like this can happen to our loved ones or our loved ones have to make decisions like this. It doesn't make easier but kind of more prepared for it.

[@Rich_622]

Rick Schroeder was awesome in this scene. Proving there are no small parts, just small actors.

[@simonwillis1529]

One thing in command is be ready to give an order which will end in loss

[@YDKJ07]

Yea it's called making the hard call. No captain, commander or anyone in command wants to make that call.

[@gunzales]

Sad situation is what likely happened on the USS Fitzgerald

[@zr9266]

Gabriel Gonzales I was told this is exactly what happened.

[@gunzales]

Zach Rob yeah when you have to log spaces from flooding no hesitation. our berthing was 3 decks down. ..so we had to climb quickly ..that's why I slept a lot on the flight deck crash lockers

[@madamedivaloach645]

Mannnnnn, OH MANNN!!! Hans surely 'SEALED THE BAY' on this scene!

[@Ama-hi5kn]

"Some must be sacrificed to the whole to survive". As a commanding officer in charge it has to be the hardest decision to make. :( You have to live with it for the rest of your life. But you saved lives at the cost at maybe ones you knew...

[@Creek_Hunter]

Must be Pittsburgh steel. God Bless PA!

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

That Lt. who sealed them in is going to need some therapy. I mean that seriously. He will never be quite the same again for sure.

....O hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea....

[@davidyu3533]

what was the point of trying to stop the leak when you could just come up and seal the bay?

[@chrismc410]

If there was a chance to save your men and stop flooding in that bay, wouldn't you give them every chance before sealing that bay? Commanders of any unit faces the possibility of sacrificing the few to save the many. It, unfortunately comes down to one choice: Do you sacrifice the lives of three men to save 100, including your own life?

[@notta3d]

@@chrismc410 I think the point he/she was trying to make is why even go down there if you could have just sealed the bay from the start.

[@sidemountsarge]

@@notta3d At this point the submarine was crippled and had no propulsion, hence why at the end you see the screw start turning and maintenance report repairs have been successful.

[@matthewkent5212]

Getting that in the face is worse than the two punches Denzel gets in the face from Gene near the end of the film.

[@ThinkPIONEERing]

Man... dude who sealed the bay is probably doing a shit load of sedatives just to cope...

[@derekwall200]

at the depth they were at... they'd be better off evacuating the compartment and sealing it off instead of trying to repair the busted pipe.

[@DM-uz7lf]

There is no way he could of sealed that bay with the water coming up like that.

[@tj252012]

I agree said the same thing

[@muhammadnasrol9582]

Haha....I also doubt that...nway just enjoy the movie haha

[@hansgruberzhang3235]

@@muhammadnasrol9582 Negative. The U.S. navy was pissed off by this film because of the Mutiny involved. That's why the CNN reporter reported this nuclear conflict on the French aircraft carrier Foch.

[@richardsmithmusic]

Right. Water pressure of the ocean at 1800 ft.

[@jf2765]

Amazing action

[@DP-eo5xd]

Sad thing but a submarine sailor knows this risk and signed on for it. I would never want to serve on a submarine. Land lover through and through

[@Capcoor]

Could they not have formed a human chain and maybe left one person?

[@chrismc410]

No time for that most likely

[@jim8572]

Great fucking scene!

[@Prideofthepacific808]

all they had to do was climb out of the damn hatch

[@Marty32]

Masao2k They were more concerned with the lives of their shipmates than their own, which is why they didn’t leave when they had the choice.

[@Prideofthepacific808]

oneasterisk closing the hatch would have solved their problem regardless

[@Marty32]

Masao2k Right, but I was responding to your comment about them not leaving the flooding bay.

[@MrHarrys6604]

Did anyone note that it was nukes that actually saved the boat?

[@ranjanpanigrahi6200]

Inspired movie

[@LFOD1776]

1:57. I would have court martialed him for that “sir”

[@christophermichael6027]

For those wondering why Barnes and the other sailors didn’t just evacuate from the begin with: Keep in mind we are watching this from the perspective of the audience. Where the scene begins, a lot of water is already on deck. What we miss is Barnes and the other sailors getting there before and working on trying to secure the leak from the moment it started flooding. They are trained to secure any leaks/ruptures/cracks as any water getting on a ship (especially a submarine) can be catastrophic. It’s their job to stop it and as sailors it’s so engrained in them to do whatever they can to do so. They are thinking that if they fail, their shipmates die. So, to them, they had to stop the leak and only evacuate at the last possible point. Second, the leadership didn’t necessarily know that letting the bilge bay flood all the way would work or not. In fact, that’s not what saved the boat. They were still sinking after. What saved them was the engineers bringing propulsion up. They were sinking regardless.

[@ArtietheArchon]

you're right that sealing the bay didn't stop them sinking, however at that moment sealing the bay saved the boat from an absolute fuckton of flooding that I'm not sure they would have been able to survive

[@btbf34]

Terrible edits near the end!?

[@cat-lw6kq]

too bad the Capt wasnt down there, he was a real Jerk, we had one just like him on my ship.

[@aliasunknown7476]

[@richardsmithmusic]

Curious to know why you think it’s terrible. What am I missing?
