  The Thresher was a large part of why my father left the Navy after 17 years. He was on the Nautilus when this went down, but he had friends on the Thresher from nuclear power school. All I remember him really telling me was that the entire sub program had become a dangerous situation where safety took a backseat to everything else. So, the line about safety being written in the blood of those sailers is absolutely on point as far as I was told.

  They say being at sea is a strain on relationships… but my auntie and uncle faced the real strain when he retired! She lasted a whole six months before she sent him out to sea again 😂😂

  My guess is the Fitzgerald was taking on water after grounding, then when riding low, she was driven down by the rogue waves from behind. When the bow hit, the mid section failed and broke apart. Love your videos, please keep them coming!

  Glad that one man basically had a spiritual experience, and saved his life❤

  My mom fiancé was on Scorpion and she was on the dock in Norfolk. She never got over the loss of her first love and the way the Navy treated the families ❤️

  We went through annual training on the loss of the Thresher that included the problems the crew faced, the reasons for the loss of the submarine and the changes made after the loss that make newer submarines safer (including the creation of the subsafe program).<br>The USS Scorpion was lost before it could be modified to comply with subsafe.

  Props to the guy who stopped killing the swordfish. He got rewarded by not dying on the next trip.

  The depth of your research and the clarity with which you lay out the background and context of each incident is much appreciated. Many years ago I was employed (not concurrently) as an inshore ferry skipper and later as a port agent. I have experienced the explosion of an enclosed, standard lead/acid battery afloat. Whilst in no way fatal or threatening the integrity of the vessel, the result was pretty spectacular. Regarding the loss of Edmund Fitzgerald, this seems to probably be a case of inadequate maintenance of an essentially faulty design being overwhelmed by what used to be referred to as ‘press of weather.’ With an inadequately braced keel and a shifted, heavy cargo she hogged and broke her back catastrophically opening her hull.

  The Sea takes and takes and never apologizes. Losing a loved one is terrible. &nbsp;Losing a loved one without closure is a wound that never quite heals.

  Please don’t take this the wrong way but I fall asleep to your videos every night. The way you tell a story is entertaining and yet very soothing. &nbsp;I love it

  People only hate compilations because of the ridiculously low attention spn so many people have. &nbsp;These are the kinds of people who will stand on their front porch to watch the beauty of a thunderstorm -- only to grow bored because the lightning takes too long. &nbsp;To &nbsp;them, microwaves are an interminably long time to wait for food; &nbsp;an eyeblink takes forever. &nbsp;I actually like compilations and longer form videos because I can put one on and just let it play while I&apos;m doing something else -- I tend to &quot;listen&quot; to videos, &nbsp;glancing at them if something exciting or especially pertinent is happening. &nbsp;These short choppy videos means I have to interrupt what I&apos;m doing to find new videos or I have to create a decent sized playlist which I don&apos;t always want to do -- so yeak, &nbsp;keep up the compilations!
