imagine you’re inside of a small
submarine at a depth of 3,8 M in the
Atlantic Ocean all to peek out of a port
hole and see the most famous of all
sunken ships the Titanic you enjoy a
Charming view of the seaweed covered
Rusty banisters on the deck in the
spooky dark passages leading to the
Halls where Britain’s richest used to
relax they were as rich as you since
this tour cost a pretty penny suddenly
the light inside the submarine start
starts flickering in an unsettling way
in less than a second the pressure
around the submarine became so high that
the vessel got compressed and crushed
like an aluminum can everything happened
so fast that you didn’t even have the
time to feel any pain before dying
submarines are among the most dangerous
traps since if something on this
underwater boat goes arai there’s
virtually no chance of getting out alive
and your loved ones may never find your
body and even be informed on what
exactly caused your death that’s why
most tragic stories connected with
submarines are shrouded in mystery and
surrounded by creepy scenarios of how
the events have unfolded so as always
viewer discretion is advised I’m sure

USS Tang

the first thing that Springs into your
mind when you hear the word submarine is
a fun Beetle song yet most often these
underwater boats have nothing to do with
fun submarines are usually used for
serious military missions it was very
dangerous during World War II although
though serving on one of them was a
great honor of all people Jesse D Silva
a military man who served on a famous
American submarine named USS Tang knew
this very well the submarine was first
launched in 1943 and in her 14 months of
service she sunk 33 ships the military
team aboard the submarine saved the
lives of 22 Navy pilots and received two
presidential unit citations yet on
October 24th 1944 the ship led her crew
down in the evening the submarine was
doing a routine Patrol in the Taiwan
string following Japanese trade routes
yet what USS Tang detected was not a
trade boat but a convoy of large enemy
ships passing along the Chinese Coast
between fujo and Amoy Jesse and the rest
of the team were delighted as they
scored a bingo right away Tang followed
the enemy’s Convoy and started
destroying it with torpedoes the
submarine sank two cargo ships and a
tanker and damaged some vehicles but
when Tang fired the last torpedo it
suddenly broed and circled back on the
boat an explosion ensued Jesse was
standing near the galley when the
missile struck tang in the Torpedo Room
three rear compartments were instantly
flooded and all of the military who were
there died on the spot yet 29 Sailors
Jesse being one of them managed to close
the AFT engine room as well as the door
between the forward machine room room
and the crew room the sailors knew that
very soon the pressure would cause the
batteries filled with toxic gaseous
chlorine to explode the only way out of
this trap was through the torpedo room
with an escape trunk from which they
could exit the submarine and swim to the
surface even if the boat had sunken but
to do this they had to pass through a
half flooded Radio Room the sailors
broke the door and the water came
rushing into the room it was still only
up to their knees yet the soldiers had
to stay longer risking their lives to
burn the secret military documents in
the room pushing through the smoke filed
passages they finally joined a few more
survivors who had been in the forward
Torpedo Room at the moment of the
torpedo strike some Sailors wanted to
flee as fast as possible so they
returned to the control room and tried
to open a gun access hatch to get out
through it instead of using the Escape
trunk yet when they broke through the
door clouds of smoke came billowing from
the compartment they shut the door
immediately but now it was even hard
harder to breathe finally Jesse and
three other men reached the Escape trunk
they filled it with water to level out
the pressure and open the outer hatch
for the first time to breathe under the
water the sailors had to use the
experimental momson lung it’s a kind of
Escape gear that processes the air
that’s breathed out removing carbon
dioxide Jesse didn’t know if it was
going to work and whether he’d choke or
not yet in the end he and a few other
men surfaced thanks to this contraption
by the way this was the only time in
history when people use this equipment
in the end 13 people made it out of the
submarine but the momson lung didn’t
save everyone only nine people reached
the surface when Jesse dived out of the
water he found four more Sailors holding
onto a buoy and when he looked back he
saw the wrecks of the ships they’ Struck
from Tang suddenly Jesse heard an
explosion from under the water and the
waves around him started rocking the
buoys as it turned out the whole time
behind the Torpedo Room pressure was
rising in the submarine the lining
couldn’t sustain the pressure and the
door got blown out all of the sailors
that hadn’t made it outside yet died on
the spot in the aftermath of this
tragedy over 79 Tang crew members died
the nine survivors were picked up by a
Japanese frigate after which Jesse
barely alive was sent to a Japanese camp
for prisoners of War where he remained
until the Allies Victory but this story
is close to being the only one one in
which at least someone managed to make
it out of the submarine alive but what
exactly can cause a tragedy on an
underwater boat the most dangerous

K141K

objects aboard military submarines are
the weapons they’re equipped with during
the Cold War the Soviet Union spent
staggering amounts of money on weapons
designed to hunt down the US aircraft
carriers they created nuclear powerered
underwater boats which NATO dubbed Oscar
2 each submarine carried 24 p7 00 gr
Rockets which were the size of a small
airplane 10 m long each the missile
could carry either an ordinary high
explosive Warhead weighing 750 kg which
was enough to damage an aircraft carrier
or a 500 kiloton Warhead which according
to its Engineers could evaporate an
aircraft carrier in one hit on August
15th the year 2000 one such
nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine
called k141 K was participating in
military exercises in the baren sea but
at some moment a real explosion roared
from under the surface and in Just 2
minutes there was another explosion an
even stronger one there had been an
unplanned blast of one of the
ultra-heavy Torpedoes which made a hole
in the ship’s bow near the torpedo tube
the thing is hydrogen oxide was used as
fuel for the ammunition everyone knew
very well that this chemical substance
may be explosive but it was was cheaper
this way the second explosion was most
likely caused by the detonation of the
remaining Torpedoes destabilized by the
explosion KK descended to a depth of 108
M and started sinking meanwhile Russia’s
President Vladimir Putin took 5 days to
start the rescue operation and didn’t
want to accept the help offered by other
countries because of this all 118 crew
members aboard the K died the most
horrifying thing was that later a note
from one of the ship’s officers Captain
Lieutenant Dimitri kolesnikov was found
it was written 2 hours after the second
explosion apart from using the note to
confess his love to his wife kolesnikov
also wrote it seems we have no chance
about 10 to 20% we hope at least someone
will read this here are the lists of the
compartment’s Personnel who are
currently in the ninth and will be
trying to get out hi to everyone there’s
no need to despair the note also read
that at the time of the explosions 23
people were still alive as it turns out
for at least another 24 hours they were
in the ship’s inner compartment fighting
for their lives before dying a horrible
death likely caused by carbon monoxide
intoxication as you can see in time all
of the faults with the design and
construction of a submarine are bound to
show this is also proven by another
story that happened to a submarine
called the thresher on April 9th 1963
it was 354 km to the east of the Cape
Cod peninsula where just like KK it was
simply engaging in training the thresher
was the first submarine using a new
steel alloid named High 80 and the Navy
wanted to determine to what depth the
new submarine could descend safely yet
at some point while at a depth of 396 M
the thresher radio man contacted the US
Navy’s rescue underwater boat named
Skylark which was waiting on the surface
and informed the crew about some
insignificant challenges the radio
operator also said they were trying to
blow up the ballast tanks to go up to
the surface yet the thresher never came
back from that mission eventually the
Navy found it but only has six pieces of
wreckage at the bottom of the Atlantic
Ocean all 129 crew members died there
were many theories on how exactly the
submarine sank some believe the
catastrophe happened due to poorly
welded seams that gave in to the
pressure yet to Captain Jim Bryant
retired submarine Fleet officer it all
seemed suspicious he believed the Navy
was concealing something so he took
legal action demanding that they publish
a report on the thresher demise the
document had
1,700 pages and was classified the Navy
claimed this was necessary to protect
the crews of the submarines that were
still in service all this even though
the disaster happened during an ordinary
training session furthermore it’s been
over 50 years after the sinking and the
submarine’s technology has become
obsolete yet in the end the Navy
published only 19 Pages according to
them the most likely reason for the
incident on the thresher nuclear
powerered submarine seemed to be the
flooding of the engine room caused by
ruptured pipes under the pressure of
saltwater yet both the analysis of the
last messages sent out by the thresher
as well as a later analysis of the
acoustic recordings made by the sound
surveillance system which monitor
through the ocean floor didn’t confirm
this claim this is backed by the fact
that if a large flooding had happened at
the observed depth it would have caused
extreme noise levels which would have
hindered the radio operator’s effective
communication with Skylark still such
flooding could have been brought about
by A Fault In the diesel Electric
engines which caused the sailors to lose
control of the submarine the vessel
couldn’t regulate its depth and started
sinking deeper and deeper until the high
pressure destroyed it then that’s why a
lot of people blame the submarine
designers for the Sailor deaths after
all they overestimated what was possible
for the scientific progress of the day
bit off more than they could chew and
abandoned the basics of engineering
that’s why the Navy is still keeping the
report out of the general Public’s
access yet this is far from being the
most mysterious story of people dying on
a submarine which grew into a scandal on
a global

Scorpion

scale for over 56 years the incident was
the Scorpion submarine has been shrouded
in mystery and secrets and there are
reasons for this this submarine is
special the Scorpion was a first class
military vessel designed to move at
incredible speeds while remaining
unnoticed by the enemy the Scorpion was
older than the thresher and was among
the first submarines to be powered by
nuclear energy the 76 M long scorpion
was equipped with a nuclear reactor
Westinghouse s5w which produced 11,000
kilowatt of energy this allowed the boat
to move at a speed of around 61
kmph starting from 1968 the submarine
was on an important mission in the
Atlantic Ocean it’s unknown what exactly
the mission involved since all
information connected with the Scorpion
is considered top secret still it most
likely had to do with spying on and
intercepting a Soviet Maritime operation
group located in the southwest of the
Canary Islands off the coast of Africa
the USS was believed to have been
engaged in its own spying measuring the
acoustic characteristics of the NATO
ships in the region that’s why the
soldiers aboard the Scorpion had until
May 20th to so to say handle this
problem and go back so on that day the
families of the military members
gathered in the port eagerly waiting for
their loved ones arrival yet they were
late some people waited into the night
yet the sailors didn’t return on the
following day May 21st the crew crew
made contact via the radio and informed
the radio operators one of whom was Ken
larus that the mission was taking longer
than planned and the vessel was now 402
km to the Southwest from the Azor
islands and that they’d return home from
the mission on May 27th this was the
last message ever received from the boat
after which the Scorpion just
disappeared she was last located 644 km
Southwest of the Azor the radio operator
who had previously kept in touch with
the submarine was shocked when
high-ranking captains and Admirals
visited his workplace in person they
kept whispering to each other and warned
all their subordinates that the
information about the Scorpion’s
disappearance must not be spread it
would have significantly compromised the
US Army status and exposed its Espionage
mission of course they didn’t manage to
keep it secret for long because the
families of the soldiers demanded
explanations so 5 days after after The
Disappearance the news came out that the
Scorpion had vanished yet for some
reason the Navy provided no information
whatsoever regarding what exactly had
happened to the 99 crew members aboard a
month later on the ocean floor at a
depth of 3 km a research ship named usns
misar found only some fragments of the
Scorpion but what had happened to her
was it a crash an attack could someone
have made it to the surface and been
rescued again a lot of questions and not
a single answer only in 2018 50 years
after the incident radio operator Ken
larus admitted having Eaves dropped on
the conversation of officers and
captains when they were at his workplace
on the day of The Disappearance he heard
something about a confrontation with the
Soviet military as well as a sinking and
an explosion yet the US Navy has yet to
issue an official statement we can only
guess the fate of the Scorpion crew
based on the stories about the flooding
of Tang K and and thresher still the
reason why these stories were kept
secret is clear all these boats were
military objects and the risk of dying
on one was undoubtedly High yet this
doesn’t mean you can’t die in a
submarine during an innocent

Titan

Adventure on June 18th 2023 haish
Harding and four other people got aboard
a submersible called the Titan heish was
a DieHard Adventurer and adored exciting
and risky outings he’ already submerged
to the deepest point of the Mariana
Trench and had been to space as part of
a suborbital mission named Blue origin
ns21 after which he spoke out in favor
of space tourists also being called
astronauts and now HH paid 20 million
pound sterlings to dive in a submersible
to see the sunken Titanic remains for
this The Vessel had to reach a record
depth of
3,810 M in contrast large nuclear
powered boats submerged to a a depth of
300 M that was 13 times smaller yet this
submersible was nothing like them
compared to the military submarines the
Titan looks a bit like a kid’s toy at
least because it’s operated via a
modified video game controller apart
from that it’s very small and won’t
accommodate over five people it doesn’t
even have seats so the passengers have
to sit on the floor yet it’s impossible
to ban people from submerging in such a
dubious machine as the Titan is located
in international waters and isn’t Bound
By Any safety regulations it’s not even
certified as seaworthy by any regulatory
organ still this didn’t scare HH who
wanted to try this rather odd kind of
Tourism all the more so given the fact
that before that day the Titan had
visited the Titanic wreckage over 37
times and everything went to plan at
9:30 a.m. on June 18th the passengers
entered the submersible and its hatch
was closed from the outside with 17
bolts the submersion started the Titan
system of surfacing and submerging was
also simplified large military
submarines can enter the sea and return
to the surface on their own however to
lower the submersible into the water and
get it back later a specially designated
support ship was needed that’s why it’s
more correct to call the submersible an
underwater vehicle instead of a boat for
safety the Titan made contact with a
support ship every 15 minutes yet after
11:15 a.m. the Titan stopped responding
for some reason despite this the
submersible was expected to surface at
4:30 p.m. according to the plan but it
didn’t show up at the designated time
only at 10 7 p.m. when the support
workers realized the submersible was
having trouble surfacing they informed
the US Coast Guard about the incident
then the race with time began since The
Rescuers only had 96 hours to reach the
submarine and free the people stuck
inside it as the vehicle only had enough
oxygen for 4 days furthermore even if
the Titan had reached the surface the
passengers had not a single chance of
helping themselves out as the
submersible hatch could only be open
from the outside the rescue team would
have greatly benefited in their search
if the underwater vehicle had been
equipped with an emergency Locator
Beacon called the emergency position
indication radio Beacon it helps
determine the whereabouts of ships yet
for some reason it wasn’t installed on
the Titan that that’s why the task of
searching for the submersible turned out
to be extremely difficult just imagine
how difficult it is to find a bus-sized
underwater vehicle on a territory of
25,000 km on the third day of the search
a sonar of a Canadian airplane detected
sounds coming from the depths similar to
a knock on the door it ignited the hope
that the people in the submersible were
still alive and sending signals and
finally on June 22nd the tit
was found but it was torn into pieces it
became clear that an implosion had
happened on the submarine most likely it
was caused by the high pressure and
defects in the vehicle’s body typically
underwater boats are built from steel
Titanium or aluminum yet as strange as
it may sound the Titan was made not of
titanium but of carbon fiber it’s an
experimental material that had never
been tested at such Oceanic depths the
experts say the implosion destroyed the
vehicle in mere milliseconds which means
that all five people who were aboard the
submersible died on the spot sadly the
passengers of the Titan just like the
passengers of the Titanic put their
trust in promises from the ads the price
turned out to be too
high look at this beauty though
submarine tours are actually a pretty
popular phenomenon at most sea and Ocean
Resorts they normally submerged to
smaller depths than the Titan did but
are you going to inquire about the
makeup of the alloy the vessel’s made of
and whether the hatch opens before you
