Just in this video so far you have: 1) Said the Chinese Navy boarded one of their own submerged submarines, and then you mentioned a Commissar of the North Sea Fleet....except the Chinese People's Liberation Navy (PLAN) does NOT have, and has never HAD, such an officer. Probably because the North Sea is over by the United Kingdom, literally on the other side of the god damned planet.

I was a submariner. I remember the first dive on my first deployment. The sounds of the hull compressing is scary. The look on the experienced sailors faces was my reassurance. They were all smiles.

One day one of the adjacent pods were hit by an unknown object (i never found out what is was) and it hit the tank and they died pretty much instantly cause of the pressure (not because of drowning). After that week I quit after doing it for a few years. We had to work through the week knowing we lost 4 friends. It terrified me.

I didn't want to tell them I got a happy meal because then they would laugh and I would be embarrassed and they wouldn't be my friends anymore. My order was ready and I didn't want to pick it up because I was nervous! They would know I got a happy meal! I was so nervous and then I heard a sound. Pfff It all came out at once. A big poopy mess! I had to get to the bathroom quick! So I ran holding my pants up like a loser! My friends didn't know there were any poop but they laughed at me waddling fast club penguin style. While I waddled by the counter I quickly grabbed the happy meal and started holding my pants running! The poop was sliding down my leg and I reached the bathroom! I ran to a stall not knowing if anyone was in it or not. Luckily nobody was in the stall and I pulled my pants down and saw the mess. How was I going to clean this up and leave?! I grabbed a bunch of toilet paper and wiped as much poop off as I could. Once I was done, I stuffed my pockets full of toilet paper and ran out. Then I thought to myself, I FORGOT TO PAY!!! I ran over to the counter and threw a $10 bill at the worker and ran out of the store. I've never run as fast ever in my life. I got home and washed my butt off and changed as quickly as I could. I finally finished and ate my happy meal peacefully thinking of the horrors that just happened.

They’re *far bigger* and stronger than you, with *far sharper* teeth- and many of them, to boot. It’s ok to admit to have a healthy respect out of fear considering what they’re capable of doing to you.

[@KennedyRose]

For anyone feeling freaked out by the last story, please know that this is not remotely typical behavior of most sharks. Oceanic whitetip sharks (not to be confused with white tip reef sharks) are actually some of the most aggressive sharks towards divers, more so than great whites, tiger sharks, and (debatably) bull sharks, which you often hear about as "the big three." But because oceanic whitetips very rarely stray from the open ocean, you rarely hear about them, and those who aren't familiar may underestimate their aggression. Honestly, two particularly large oceanic whitetips demonstrating atypical behavior (by being so close to land) should have been enough of a red flag to postpone the dive. If you're thinking about scuba diving and worried about sharks, I've seen sharks on every dive I've done. First of all, they're so much smaller than you think! They're curious but skittish, sometimes they'll hang out around 7-10ft from you to check you out but as soon as you look directly at them, they dart away. They're honestly one of the most fun parts of dives. PSA, this is based on personal experience and casual research that you can fact-check pretty easily, but if you'd like links lmk :)

[@paulherbert5548]

I ran into a curious Bull shark near a blue hole somewhere close to the Berry Islands. It was attracted by a chemical glow stick that my dive buddy was holding. It would not relent coming in close (2 to 3 feet) until he dropped the stick then it lost interest and moved away. Turn off those glow sticks when there's critters about.

I remember making eye contact with a 10 ft Sand Tiger Shark in the wild, its one of the most intense feelings Ive ever felt (and Im a combat veteran lol). Luckily I saw him heading my way in a calm swimming motion, I knew he wasnt attacking probably curious, but I assumed a position remaining calm, pulled my knife where I could attempt fighting without looking like prey. I felt my entire body trembling and the hair on the back of my neck stand up as we both stared at each other 2-3 feet apart. I would describe primal level of calm fear and respect being at the presence of a superior destructive entity.

[@gwingcommander]

I know hindsight is 20/20 and everyone on the internet is an "expert", but even so I'm still kinda shocked the divers weren't alarmed by the sight of large Oceanic White Tips. As an open-water species that frequently go long stretches without food, they are well known to be opportunistic hunters. They're kind of like deep water versions of polar bears - they can be very dangerous because their typical habitat demands they aggressively pursue anything edible. While the vast majority of sharks aren't naturally aggressive toward humans, it's pretty common knowledge that White Tips are definitely one of the few species that require extra special attention when spotted. Again, I know that's easy to say now, but it seems weird experienced divers would overlook this.

[@swiftcastholy9034]

Oceanic white tips and other open water species like mako and blue sharks are often found near those large drops like the wall - while a ship in the area might have been an additional lure for them the depth of the water there makes it a reasonable place to expect to encounter them. Still, 14 foot white tips... like, that's terrifying on its own, that's practically the length of an adult male great white!

[@OnlyKaerius]

@abigmonkeyforme Yeah, aside from whale sharks, the biggest I've personally seen was a bull shark around 12 foot long, absolutely massive. Also thankfully, really chill at the time, peaceful encounter.

@abigmonkeyforme when I was in San Diego a couple of years ago I ran into a group of divers who were doing their qualification dives in the kelp beds out there. Visibility, I was told, was about 10 ft that day. They had full wet suits on so I take it that that water must have been pretty cold.

[@deecilla5087]

I read an article some time ago about an incident with a decompression chamber on an oil rig many years ago, I think in the North Sea but not sure. The crew chief didn't seal the hatches properly and a diver was sucked out of the pressurized chamber through a partially opened hatch and onto the deck.

Been loving your channel for just over a month now. I look forward to our Saturday morning appointment now every week. Thanks for what you do

[@hughgreentree]

Regarding the third story, I've met the diver named Bret. He is a magnificent, amazing man and one of the best divers in the world. The event did not occur in 1996; it occurred on October 14, 1972. I have Bret's contact info. If you would like to get in contact with him I would be glad to help you make contact.

I really enjoy the way you tell these people's stories! I look forward to more content! With only 400k subscribers, I feel you are truly underrated. I hope eventually you put your content on a podcast, so you're not restricted by KZbin.

[@JunkyCarrot]

The way you tell the stories (and the pictures of course) really gives a great picture of what is happening. Your pronunciation and they way you tell it also makes it easy to understand for some of us none-English people (am from Denmark). Already looking forward to your next upload!

Commercial diver here. We don’t live in the bell underwater. Never. The bell is like an elevator. We live in surface in a separate chamber and the bell is pressurized to the same pressure and we take it to the work area.

[@jeffpopiel7304]

Excellent delivery, well narrated, and consistently able to pull new content that holds my interest. I'll take this channel over the predictable same storied, rehashed routine that many other channels follow. As always (Scary Interesting) is indeed, scary and interesting. Thank you.

I had a horrifying encounter with a 14’ hammerhead while diving off the cost of Cuba. Sharks are terrifying 1 on 1 folks. Thankfully I survived the encounter. 325’ depth is an incredible diving depth few will ever encounter. Brett is a #1 Topgun diver

The first time I stepped into the Gulf of Mexico on a Galveston beach I was two minutes in the water and ankle deep. Something slashed the insides of both ankles as it exited toward deeper water. Those lacerations burned for 2 days solid.

Dam,, that’s scary as hell,, it blows my mind that people are courageous enough to do anything like this, I’m terrified of the ocean💛💛💛

[@Iamthelolrus]

I remember a marine biologist on Catalina Island telling me "sharks only accidentally attack people" claiming that if you survive the initial bite you would be fine because they "don't like the taste of people" I'm calling bs on that...

[@davidhollingdale5408]

Agreed. I believe when they attack groups of people,they target just one individual...and don't stop.🦈

[@ellesimon4149]

I don't think people are their first choice and they would prefer a fish or a tasty seal, but humans are slow, weak, and easy to catch and kill if the opportunity arises.

[@Alternate_Titles]

A fish does not “like” or “dislike.” It is like an insect. It moves and eats.

[@JimRFF]

@@Alternate_Titles that's not even true for insects... every organism that has the sensory capability to feel pain makes judgments to avoid pain and seek pleasure. They don't necessarily have complex judgments of value (ie, the shark will never stop eating a person "because it's wrong") but to suggest that animals don't have preferred/avoided foods and behaviors is pretty ignorant

[@Alternate_Titles]

@@JimRFF The reason for the preference has nothing to do with “liking” or “disliking.” What is this obsession with anthropomorphizing animals. Look at how butthurt you and this other person are about someone pointing out the obvious fact that sharks do not “enjoy,” they do not “like,” there’s nothing they won’t eat if they are hungry. We cut open shark and we find boots. Electronics. A chunk of wood with barnacles on it. Did the shark like to eat the boot? Was it his preference to eat the radio clock?

[@Medinfo-qt2ni]

Wow that shark story is the best and most gripping/terrifying one yet in my opinion. Thanks for all your hard work, keep it up!

[@that_pan_chick8650]

Your videos keep me going honestly. I just sit and listen to scary/creepy stories all day and your videos are always my favorite

[@cnelson1614]

Know what you mean, sister from another mister

[@NASkeywest]

In case anyone is interested. Open water sharks like Oceanic White tips, are extremely opportunistic. It’s why ship wrecks often get sharks attacking them immediately. Your chances of getting attacked in open ocean is greater than at shores where you have Tiger sharks, Bull sharks, Great whites.

[@catmeifyoucan4649]

All stories were incredibly tragic, but that last one was absolutely unbelievable..amazing that guy survived.

[@WillowEve-rf7oq]

Love the content! I believe the last story actually was Oct 1972 per the international shark attack file. There was a substantial interview and article about it in Nov 1996 that may create the confusion.

[@krashd]

That makes sense as by 1996 we already knew that sharks were agitated by EM radiation and not to approach them if ships are nearby.

[@behindtheglamour]

As far as the diving bells go, there's an old two-sided compartment that they used to use for filming underwater scenes before things like that even existed. If you haven't covered that one yet, it's an underwater hotel in Florida that I'd be interested in seeing what you could find out about!

[@kentwilliams4152]

I served 7 years in the USN in the submarine service. I never heard the hull making any sounds as we went deeper. We were limited to 700 feet back then due to the "sub safe" program, so maybe that's the reason. Also, after a prolonged submergence when fresh air us brought into the submarine through the snorkel it smelled terrible!! Seems as the charcoal filters become less efficient in purifying the air that is released into the boat when venting sanitary tanks after having been pressurized to blow their contents overboard. That decreasing efficiency causes the atmosphere in the sub to slowly affect the crew by coating their sinuses and nasal cavities with fowl smelling "crap," for lack of a better word. The crew is not aware of this until fresh air is piped into the sub by running the diesel which burns the old putrid air thereby replacing it with fresh air.

[@pattsw]

These stories are becoming increasingly more chilling. I love it

[@Synystr7]

3:33 So, the Leopard 2A6, the tank I drive, it can ford through water. Completely submerged. The crew commander is standing on, what is basically, a ladder through a tube the extends vertically from the tank. This also acts as a snorkle for the tank so suck air through to run. If the safety were to fail, and the engine went into deep fording mode with the hatches closed, it would turn the inside of the tank into a vacuum in 15 seconds. We wouldnt be able to open the hatches after 3.

[@Janelou42]

The last story really shows what it means to have that survivalist mind. The lingering will even tho he passed out. So many obstacles he pulled through...

[@Boo-dawg.]

These stories gave me a feeling of claustrophobia and that's not something I have problems with for the most part but the thought of going underwater that far creeps me out really bad. I have to not think too much about some of the details or I would never make it through a video. People that dive like that must have nerves of steel. I would have a horrible panic attack I'm sure of it.

[@aidanhart9871]

Working in parts of Western Australia I can imagine how horrible the death those divers faced would be.... port hedland is hot and very humid ...especially in work clothes and welding... a truly horrible place and a truly horrible way to die..... but I knew as soon as you mentioned " multiple gauges" what was going to happen.

[@addictdedgamers]

your actually so talented, please keep up with the uploading. Your stories are by far the most interesting around.

[@jamietodd1528]

I have severe thalasaphobia. I won't get in any water that I can't see thru, and I can barely handle pools. The ocean, in particular, scares me more than pretty much anything. Recently, there was a young man who jumped from a cruise ship after his friends dared him. The thought of treading water in the open ocean gives me chills. You're either waiting to drown, die of dehydration, or something from below is gonna grab you. At this point, Im not entirely sure which I find the most terrifying between cave diving, saturation diving/submarine, or just caving in general.

[@et3182]

Interesting fact about the final story: that shark attack is most likely the deepest shark attack on a human. Its hard to confirm though

[@b-dub6865]

Wow! That last story deserved its own video. Could you label the pics presented in your stories to identify whether they were taken during these dives, or if they’re just images similar to the topic you’re discussing at the time? It would help to get a better understanding of the story & situation. Thx!

[@paulrettig1507]

We had a similar situation on one of my patrols as the first story which was quickly rectified by opening a valve allowing the snorkel to operate properly. The amount of suction is incredible and creates an instant headache worse than migraines. Their deaths were quite painful but quick.

[@mirrrstery]

That last story should be a freaking movie. WOW!

Love this channel! Always keeps me on the edge of my seat, especially the last story!

[@cogitator1213]

Years ago I read a book about WW 2 u-boat warfare. I remember a story about the crew of an Allied freighter that was sank in the Indian Ocean. The crew was allowed to leave for their rescue boats, before the u-boat torpedoed the freighter. The shore wasn't too far away, just a day of rowing. But then a tropical storm hit the rescue boats and they were scattered. Some boats were never seen again, but others had strange marks on their hulls. The survivors later told that they were attack by a kraken and the kraken even pulled some out of the boats and into the water.

[@tumslucks9781]

The Kracken enjoyed feasting on creamy white flesh..

[@uncletoodles8118]

My guy, what book was this in? This is so interesting and I’d love to read more

[@cogitator1213]

@Uncle Toodles I am very sorry, I can't give you the title or author. It was a book from the public library I borrowed in the mid/late 2000s and I just don't remember the title. But I remember very well that it wasn't some kind of hoax book, but a serious approach to the topic.

I grew up on the coast of Florida and NEVER will i understand the phrase "*3 Unusually Large 14ft sharks* approached the drivers and they remained unphased." Like these are 3 highly deadly predators that are almost 3x our size, and considering thier unusually large size they are pretty close to the top in that area, plus they are rolling together. Yeah that's a really good fucking reason to be phased if you ask me. I live in Colorado now and if i saw 3 huge bears rolling together i wouldn't stop and take a picture.
