I remember when this happened. I was in grade 11 at the age of 16. When it was first reported in the news, no details were given. It took some time before they told that it was massive depressurization that killed them. Since the average person knew next to nothing about diving bells, we just pictured what happens on a plane during cabin depressurization, so our imagination pictured something vient, but nothing like the reality of it. Not until my senior year in 1985 did my friends and me find out exactly what happened to these men. I remember how much it disturbed me because of how young and innocent I was. Now I'm 53 and have watched four people die in person in auto accidents, falls from great heights, and being crushed on a construction site. I am a Civil Engineer and so I'm routinely around huge structures being built. Bridges, dams, channel ways, water treatment plants, highway tunnels, etc., etc. Seeing all of what I've seen in my 35 years of adult life has maee me have a VERY healthy respect for just how fragile our bodies are in comparison to things we design and build. I've never designed anything that failed and killed people. I've never designed anything that failed, period. I hope and pray it stays that way. Those of you watching these videos at a very young age are learning things in an effective way because there's no better motivator to do things safely and to design things in a VERY careful and tested manner than seeing just what forces can do to our bodies in just a few seconds. Gruesomeness observed equals careful procedure and discipline in operations.

When he arrived they were unloading the produce when they found her. She was pressed up against the front pallet in the trailer. A forklift apparently was not aware she was in the trailer and drove a pallet of Lettuce into the trailer, killing her. Man drove 3 states with his wife in the back.

It’s important to note that it’s NOT the crew’s fault! Martin Saunders (the survivor) said himself that Crammond wouldn’t had unclamped the bell if he wasn’t certain it was pressurized. And even when it isn’t, the system should’ve locked and not opened. The crew was exhausted after working unethical and cruel hours (18 hours with 4 hours off, then 14 hours with 2 hours off, then 9 hours for the actual incident). It was entirely the company’s fault. They robbed the crew of their lives and Saunders of his sanity. Even after being disabled from the event, the Norwegian government treated it like it never happened and it took the British government 3 years to put Saunders on disability pension for only £200 a month. He then had to raise 2 kids with the oldest being a year old, a couple years later his wife fell very ill, forcing him to raise them alone (I’m not certain if his wife died or not). He went through hell because of that company, and they didn’t even care.

Retrieval team hardly recognized him due to the injuries his face sustained, but he survived and was able to make a full recovery, and was able to clear up why Crammond opened the chamber door. Their company had been working these 6 men for days on 3 hours of sleep each 18 hour work day, numerous grueling hours of work each day spent reviewing equipment and undergoing pressurization. They were _tired,_ and Crammond and Saunders shared a look of confirmation with each other in order to communicate that yes the interior door was (believed) to be closed, as the timespan it normally took to close it had gone by. Yes, it was a problem with human error, but the reason why it happened was company greed. On numerous occasions their employers had even said if they weren’t up to the task they’d be let go and they didn’t want to lose their jobs despite the harsh conditions.

[@matthewblackwell5274]

my dad had something similar happen to him at a much smaller scale, he was had only been in 1.2 atmospheric pressures, but the change in pressure was enough to knock him off his feet, and draw a lot of blood to the back of his head, causing him to pass out, he hit his head pretty good, but made a full recovery.

[@fallinginthed33p]

Thank you for giving the names of those who lost their lives in the incident. They weren't nameless victims, they were people who put their lives on the line for their work. Industrial safety is usually paid in blood. If you're diving without a hard shell, the air you breathe has to be at the same pressure as the water pushing down on you or it won't be able to get into your lungs. At extreme depths you could have a few atmospheres of dissolved gas in your bloodstream. A slow ascent lets that dissolved gas equalize to the surrounding pressure in stages until the diver reaches the surface. In the Byford Dolphin incident, the ascent was instantaneous - the other divers further away from the trunk hatch died when gas instantly bubbled out of their blood, rupturing blood vessels and destroying internal organs.

[@trunki006]

I know nothing about Truls Hellevik, but I'm sure that he had his own journey like all of us did. He had his kindergarten friends, his loving family, his favorite music, his best friend, maybe even his lover or soulmate. He had his own story, he accomplished so many things in his life. I can imagine his first steps, his first words, his first day at school - and Truls' parents would be proud of him of how much his son has achieved. Every moment was a treasure for his parents. And something happened which Truls' nor his parents or friends have expected. His body destroyed completely in a matter of seconds, hence his beautiful life ended. What would they expect on that day? Maybe in the morning, Truls' would quickly say "bye mom" and quickly shut the door without giving her a kiss or a hug. His mom never knew, neither did he, that it was his last moment in his entire life. He was a living person who had his own story and journey, who had a family, who had everything what he could wish for. Because all we know is that we're living creatures on a floating rock somewhere. We don't know what, when or why the universe was created and what happened before. Our life is simply meaningless in the eyes of the big, big universe but our purpose is to live for ourselves. The little moments in our life, such as eating out with your family, the nights where you have a fun sleepover with your friends, the moment where you meet your first love ever and the bittersweet feeling of happiness and nostalgia. All of these moments our an impact of every single event of our universe, wether it was the big bang or your great-grand parents decidikg to have a child or your parents meeting that day. Every single choice which every human decides has an impact on everyone - the butterfly effect. Our life has so much potential, yet it is so fragile. A human body, or a human body could shatter and end in a short phase of seconds. Once that occurs, everything disappears. All the memories you had with them, are fully gone - whether it was listening their soothing voice, having fun with them or spending time with them. All of those little moments will never return and you won‘t experience them, no matter how hard you try. And if you didn‘t take a picture at that moment, then the memory will forever fade away into the nothing. So enjoy every second of your life, because you‘ll never know what will happen in the next seconds, minutes, days or months. No matter if you're Muslim, Christian, Atheist or Buddhist - you should accept that life is the biggest gift you received in your life, a once-in-a-lifetime gift which you can't give or receive again.

[@martinsaunders2942]

That was a pretty good explanation of the event, and I am glad you kept to a technical explanation rather than played up all the dramatic details. However.. at the time the guys inside the chambers were not decompressing, they were living at their holding depth which is about 10 meters less than the working depth. On this particular Comex system, after the dive, when the bell was locked on to the chambers, the divers put all the consumable items, like the sodasorbe canisters, silica gel canisters, old food and drink containers, along with their hot water suits and under suits into the trunking. The door of the bell was shut and the internal pressure of the bell slightly increased to hold it shut, then the divers in the transfer chamber shut their door. When they have confirmed the doors are shut, the dive supervisor bleeds the from the trunking. When the trunking is surfaced, the supervisor tells the deck crew to unclamp the bell and recover the gear in the trunking for cleaning or replacement. Notice that on this system, it is the dive supervisor who pressurises or depressurisation the trunking…and then tells the deck crew he has done so. On most sat systems of that time, there was a visible pressure gauge on the trunking, and it was the deck crew, who being able to physically see if there was pressure in the trunking, who controlled the pressure in the trunk by way of valves fitted to the trunking it’s self. You also miss the fact that the dive crew had already done one 18 hour dive with 4 hours off…followed by a 14 hour dive with 3 hours off and then the final dive of 9 hours after which the accident.. Everyone was completely exhausted.

[@stephenbanks5952]

Hi Martin, thanks for the explanation. I have seen many videos and articles on this and they all list 5 steps. Step 4 is that the pressure in the trunking is slowly lowered to 1 atm. However I don't understand why this is necessary because as we know detaching the diving bell immediately sends it to 1 atm. Can you explain? Everybody lists that step and I don't know if it is an error and everybody is copying each other. Sorry for what you had to experience. Hope you are doing well.

The OceanGate Titan tragedy was like this in reverse. Those men died instantly.

[@gosportjamie]

What went through their minds?... In Crammond's case, the diving bell... In Hellevik's case, an awful lot of air... A relative of mine was on the Byford Dolphin that day. The diving bell was propelled across the decompression deck with such force that it was rendered inoperable and had to be scrapped. It also caused so much damage to the structure of the deck that the rig was out of service and in dry dock for many months having a major structural refurbishment. Had this happened on a diving support vessel, the ship would most likely have had to be scrapped due to the level of damage wreaked on the hull. The 4 unfortunate divers basically exploded, but death was so quick for them that their brains very likely didn't even have time to start registering pain... My relative left diving support work and moved to working on oil rig support vessels, being among one of the first crews to arrive on the scene of the Piper-Alpha disaster. Despite his qualifications in regard to deep sea diving he has no interest in ever returning to that field...

This makes the only sense because the locks won't ever open unless the pressures equal.

[@MTFGamma-6]

This is a partial list of the commercial diving fatalities over the past 15 years. All have one common cause, Delta P. Two out of three commercial diving fatalities involve Delta P. It is invisible to a diver and it strikes suddenly without warning there is almost no way to escape once it grabs you. Knowing what it is, where it lurks, and how to avoid its grasp is the subject of this video. Delta P stands for differential pressure. Our discussion refers to situations where the pressures between two bodies of water are dramatically different. In a situation like this, the bodies of water continuously seek to equalize themselves. In this example the body of water on the right wants to rush to the body of water on the left by means of the pipe between them. The pressure exerted on the valve stopping this water transfer can be enormous, depending on the difference in the depths of the water, and the diameter of the pipe. If the difference between the depth of water is 50 feet, and the diameter of the pipe is 10 inches, the force of water exerted on the valve is nearly 1,700 pounds. If the valve was suddenly opened, and your arm was near, it would be sucked into the hole instantly. Trying to remove your arm would be like trying to lift a car completely off the ground, with one hand. You could only remove your arm if the pressures between the two bodies became nearly equalized, but at the pressure in this example your body makes a perfect seal, stopping the bodies of water from equalizing. The formula for calculating the force of water through a hole at a particular depth is, the area of the hole multiplied by the difference in water depth multiplied by the PSI per foot of water depth. Or in the situation just described, the 10 inch hole equals 78 square inches times 50 feet of water depth times 0.432 psi per foot of fresh water depth, equals 1685 pounds of water pressure. If you are diving in salt water be sure to use 0.445 psi in your formula instead. You can't see or feel a Delta P situation as you dive near it. It grabs you suddenly and it doesn't let go until the pressure is equalized. When it's got you, it's got you. As you watch the following recreations of actual Delta P incidents, ask yourself if you have on occasion ventured into situations without being thoroughly prepared. Diver one enters the water behind the dam structure in order to clean the strainer of the dams drain. When the drain is cleared, the tremendous force of rushing water through the drain grabs hold of diver one, sucks him partially inside and traps him. Diver two enters the water to help divert one and becomes trapped also. Diver three enters the water to rescue divers one and two and after 40 minutes returns to the surface with both divers. They are dead. Diver three was hospitalized for injuries suffered in the rescue attempts. A scuba diver was repairing a pool bottom at a depth of 10 feet and he came close to the open pool drain and was drawn against it. His body made a perfect seal against the drain. He was diving alone, and had no tender at the surface. No one knew he was trapped. He ran out of air and drowned. Two scuba divers entered a water tower to unclog a drain. Using a fire hose to blast away the silt and mud that was clogging the drain, the drain suddenly opened. A great suction immediately occurred. Diver one was pulled into the drain. Visibility was zero. Diver two did not know that this had occurred. Diver two surfaced, thinking diver one had already come up. Diver two made repeated but unsuccessful attempts to find him. Diver one ran out of air and died. Neither diver was tethered to the surface, had communication with the surface, or with each other. A surface supplied diver was working offshore in 86 feet of water on a well reentry project. He was using a drill string to hook a trash cap, inside of a 13 inch well casing. The first attempt failed to catch the cap. The diver was asked to stand by the hole to make sure the string caught the cap. He reported when he saw the cap was hooked and began to leave. The drill string was pulled to the surface rapidly because the camp was nearly the size of the casing, a great suction developed. As the cap came free, the rushing water grabbed the diver and forced one leg into the hole up to the pelvis. The diver was killed. Diver one enters the water at a hydroelectric generation plant. His assignment is to seal off leaks in a large gate valve. The three-person dive team is assured by the plants operating personnel that the gate valve is closed. Diver one surfaces and reports that he thinks the valves are open. The winch is started and closes the valve. A 30 inch sluice gate is manually crank shut. The dive team questions the plant personnel. The valve indicator shows the valve not fully closed. Plant personnel replied that the indicator is never correct and typically the valve is cranked until tight Diver one re-enters the water, convinced that everything is okay. In a few moments he begins to scream. The dive supervisor tries to contact diver one on the intercom. The tender and supervisor pulled the lifeline and umbilical. Both have broken from their attached points. The gates are cycled open while waiting for the rescue divers. Two attempts by the company diver failed to locate diver one. 12 hours later, diver one's body is recovered. When you accept a new job, make sure you take part in a free job meeting. Be sure that you understand the layout of the site, and how the piping and valve systems work together. The diving supervisor should have a simplified, but site-specific schematic of the site and a diving checklist to make sure nothing is on or open that shouldn't be. Your client also needs to know about Delta P. If they take your concerns lightly, make sure they understand the life-threatening hazards. Always practice lockout-tagout procedures. These are tried-and-true methods that can eliminate machinery and valve accidents if practiced religiously. Make sure to consider the potential delta p hazards of your new assignment when choosing your equipment. Make sure others in the water and on the surface can tell exactly where you are. They should be able to communicate with you at all times and be able to get you out if you're stuck. Make sure your equipment won't interfere or become fouled if you must be near a delta P situation. There are certain techniques that you can use to help reduce and even eliminate delta p hazards. The first step is to recognize the potential forces working on each other in your environment. Learn the layout of the site and how the system functions. Calculate the force of water at the depth you're working based on the size of the openings at that depth. Instead of cutting holes to drain water or relieve pressure, cut slots. If your body or equipment can't make a good seal against the flow of water, you can't get stuck. Fabricate a cover for the drain that has a screen or make a cover that has more than one hole a good distance away from the other. The idea is the water can still get through even if your body gets in the way. The goal of this video is to make you aware of the potential for differential pressure situations. The key is to recognize them beforehand, and make sure you're prepared to deal with them. Because when it's gotcha, its gotcha. Don't add your name to this list.

What went through their minds in their last moments? Probably an embolism

[@gonufc]

Maybe a pelvis. Their own, or not.

[@ve2vfd]

My guess is their spleen, though it could also be their colon.

[@EggBastion]

Yeah, about 8 atmospheres worth ouch

"The extreme force tears Hellevik apart and projects his organs outside of the chamber" It's like something out of a sci fi horror

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

Y'know except this was real and actually happened

[@insertusername3778]

I always thought this happened under water. Makes more sense to me now

[@GG_Booboo]

Thank you for that explanation! None of the other channels I've watched have explained it so well! Crammond would have been depressed had he survived!

[@hommie789]

In the 60's a diver wearing a deep water helmet and suit. His suit lost pressure and the result crushed his body and pressed his body up into the small helmet. Many accidents as humans only think they know more than nature.

[@martinvanburen1479]

Do you have a link to that story? I’d like to read about it.

[@simpleman8883]

Same, as morbid as it sounds it does peak my interest

[@vn-dc3hv]

Yeah mythbusters made an episode on this. A pig really squished into the helmet.

[@Nobody_Imp0rtant]

Thinking of those five poor souls lost in the Titan Submarine incident.

"Who can say what was going through their minds..." Nothing! Death from pressure differential happens faster than the human nervous system can relay a signal to the brain! :D

[@exMuteKid]

The brain delay is around 11ms if I remember correctly?

[@socialmoon]

Thank heavens for small mercies. At least they weren't aware of what happened.

[@SNUPE_FOXX92]

Surprised to not see any Ocean Gate comments 👀

[@wyatth874]

my father got decompression sickness when scuba diving in multa, he spent weeks in the decompression chamber.

[@Sunset553]

Did he have anything to do? Is it stocked with food?

[@1TakoyakiStore]

I remember coming across this disaster a few years back. Quite horrific but fortunately all those who died ended up dying almost instantly. There's also quite a few coverup theories going around, both by former rig employees and family members of the deceased. I also never found out what happened to the only survivor, dive tender Saunders, other than that he was severely injured. One final thing I wanted to mention was that you know how nitrogen forms bubbles in the blood if one is decompressed too fast? Well in this case the pressure differential was so extreme that it did the same thing but with the lipids in the blood. So yeah... this explosive decompression was so crazy that it denatured the fat out of a guy... Thanks Qxir for covering this one as it's pretty obscure yet fascinating in a disturbing way.

[@margaretclark3657]

I cannot imagine a worse way to leave this world. The families they left behind have to live with those images forever😢🙏

[@bubblebass4202]

I was very confused on what decompression was, but you explained it beautifully.

[@Onderonable]

Geez, one of the guy's was named Coward? How unfortunate.

[@LOSTONITALL]

A true hero..... nah...he just had a bad day due to someone else.

[@simonphoenix3789]

I wonder if his last name had anything to do with the dangerous profession he was in... like he wanted to prove that he wasn't a coward despite his last name.

[@theshermantanker7043]

That's an unfortunate last name I have to agree, it doesn't make him a coward though

[@abominog888]

Coward and Gay are the funniest last names I've ever read

[@macman975]

The fact that it was possible to open the clamp on the diving bell before the inner trunk was sealed is scandalous. Even though it was a while ago it was still 1983 and not 1883. Even without an electrical/mechanical fail safe there should've been a visual confirmation from the diver who secured the trunk to the tender. Needless loss of life. RIP.

[@Farc0l123]

This has to be the best explaining video on youtube. Very informative!

[@MalleusSemperVictor]

Not sure what was the worst outcome visually: this, or the photos of Hisashi Ouchi from the JCO criticality accident.

[@duckmeat4674]

The guy in this video wouldve died instantly. 0 pain. Just a gruesone outcome. Hisashi was kept alive for 83 days. Just the thought of that alone is beyond terror

[@Lethalape15]

Both are horrific but what would of been worse to endure?

[@theshermantanker7043]

Hisashi definitely had it worse both pain wise and visually. That's not to say these guys deserved this fate though

[@narcissistectomy5134]

his last name is “Ouchi” 🤔

I could just imagine Hellevik body flopping around with Gmod sound effects as he gets sucked in, I'm going to hell for this
