• 0:41
  Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. At four am on February
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty twenty two, thirty six year old father
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of three named Christopher Boudrom woke up inside of his
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: modest home in Point up Pierre, which is a city
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: on the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago. After quietly
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: getting out of his bed so as not to wake
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: up his wife, who was still asleep. Christopher walked into
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the other room and did his typical morning exercise routine,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and then afterward he made himself some breakfast in the kitchen,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and by five thirty am he was out his front
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: door into his car making the commute to work. Christopher
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: was a professional scuba diver, and he had been for
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: over ten years. Commercial diving is a very broad field
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to work in, but generally it meant that Christopher was
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: paid to do various tasks underwater, things like inspections or welding,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or just moving equipment around. For the last eight months,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Christopher had been fortunate enough to be working for a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: company that was located just two minutes drive from his house.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It was an oil and gas company called Paria Fuel,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and Christopher's duties at Periafuel centered primarily on the upkeep
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and maintenance of several of these underwater pipelines that Perreafuel
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: used to get the oil off of their ships and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: onto land where it could be processed. These underwater pipelines,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of which Poia had at least six, were basically U shaped.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: They had these two vertical sections on either end that
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: would jut out of the water and then connecting these
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: two vertical sections. Was a twelve hundred foot long section
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of pipe that ran along the seabed at roughly sixty
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: feet below the surface. And so one of these vertical
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: sections was out at sea, so twelve hundred feet off
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the coast, and ships would literally come by this opening
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to the pipe that was out of the water, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: they would dump their oil into this opening. The oil
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: would go down, it would shoot across this long horizontal
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: section and then go up the other vertical section much
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: closer to shore where workers could collect the oil and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: bring it onto land to be processed. So on this
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: particular day in February of twenty twenty two, when Christopher
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: arrived at Poia Fuel, he was not surprised at all
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to find out that he and his diving colleagues would
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: be doing some maintenance on one of these underwater pipelines. However,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: there was something unique about the particular pipeline they'd be
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: working on. It was called Birth number six, and unlike
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the rest of Paria Fuel's underwater oil transport pipelines, this
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: one had not been active since twenty eighteen, so for
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the past four years it had just sat idle. Now
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: this was on purpose for whatever reason, the company had
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: decided not to use birth number six, and so they
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: put it into a sort of storage mode where the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: vertical section of birth number six that was out at
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: sea was untouched. It was still just poking out of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the water, no changes. However, the other vertical section of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: birth number six that was closest to shore was first
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: plugged up, like imagine putting a cork inside of a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: wine bottle, basically what they did to this vertical section,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: except they used this huge inflatable cork imagine like a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: huge pool toy. They basically jammed it inside of the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: vertical section and then they inflated it so much that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it was completely air tight inside of this pipe. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: then once it was all plugged up, they submerged this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: section of the vertical pipe underwater, maybe five or ten
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: feet below the surface, to kind of keep it out
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of the way of all the ships that would be
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: moving around close to shore. And then also what they
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: did is they put something called a habitat on top
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of the opening of this now submerged vertical section of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: berth number six. To understand it, you've got to picture
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: something else. Okay, So imagine you're in the bathtub, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you have a bucket and you flip it upside down
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: above the surface, so there's nothing inside of the bucket,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and you just take the bucket and push it straight
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: down into the water. No matter how deep you push
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that bucket, as long as you don't rotate it to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: one side or the other and you just keep it steady,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that air pocket inside of the bucket will remain. You
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: can literally reach your hand under the bucket underwater and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it will be dry. And so basically that's what this
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: habitat was. Korea Fuel took a huge bucket, if you will,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and they lowered it straight into the water and pressed
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it down and anchored it right above the opening to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: this submerged vertical section. So there was a permanent air
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: pocket over the opening to this pipe. And the reason
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: for this is because if they needed to do work
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on this pipe, like for example today, they wanted Christopher
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and his colleagues to make this pipe active again, which
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: meant doing work on it. The divers could swim down,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: get inside of this habitat, stand on the little metal
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: platform they put in there, and then they could take
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: off all of their cumbersome diving equipment and just work
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on the pipe while breathing air.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It was really kind of a luxury.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And so after Christopher and the four other divers he'd
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: be with that day got their instructions, you know, to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: get Berth number six active again, they began getting all
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: their gear together and going over who would be responsible
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: for what once they got down to the habitat, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: then once they were already they made their way out
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to the boat before other divers that Christopher would be
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: working with that day were men he had worked with
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: many times before, and men he would consider his friends.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Their names were Kazim Ali Junior, Yusuf Henry, Faiseel Karban,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and Rishi Nagasar. Once their boat had moved just off
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the coast and had stopped kind of roughly over the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: area where below the surface was this submerged Berth number
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: six vertical pipe and the habitat, the divers hopped off
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the boat and they swam straight down. They went up
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and under the side of this habitat wall and they
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: entered into this breathable airspace right around the entrance to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: this pipe, and so they climbed up onto the platform.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: They took off all of their gear and then once
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they were just in their wetsuits. They got to work. Now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the job was relatively straightforward. They just needed to basically
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: pull a lever inside of the pipe that would then
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: deflate the big inflatable plug that had been set inside
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of this pipe to seal it. However, when one of
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the divers reached down and began to pull on the lever,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it was jammed, and so they needed a wrench to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: kind of free the lever, and so Kazim volunteered to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: go back to the surface and get a wrench, because
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: no one had one inside of the habitat, and so
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Kazim put his dive fear back on. He dove out
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: from underneath this habitat, swam back to the surface. He
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: talked to the folks on the boat. They handed him
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a wrench, and then he swam right back down back
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: inside of the habitat. And then once he poked himself
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: back up, he handed the wrench up to the nearest diver,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and that diver took the wrench. He turned back around
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to face the pipe. He reached down inside and he
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: began fiddling with the lever and eventually he freed it. However,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the second this lever was activated. Something horrific happened inside
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of that space. This is not a normal ad. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: am not trying to get you to buy anything. Instead,
• 8:02

  Speaker 2: The server early.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So again, click the discord invite link in the description below. Okay,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: back to the story. We don't know exactly how this
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: happened or what exactly could have been done to prevent it,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: but in short, the second that lever was activated, it
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: began to deflate this big cork that had been plugging
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: up this inactive pipeline for the past four years. And
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: when that happened, it broke the seal and suddenly all
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: this low pressure air that was sitting in twelve hundred
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: feet of pipeline made contact with the extremely high pressure
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: air that was inside of this habitat. And air likes
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to go from high pressure to low pressure, and so
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the second that seal was broken, the high pressure air
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in the habitat expanded down.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Into the pipe.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But this happened so so quickly it was almost instantaneous.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: It was almost like the pipe opening became the world's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: strongest vacuum, and it sucked everything inside of the habitat,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: all the air, all the equipment, all five men into
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the pipe, and it also began sucking in seawater. Basically
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: everything was going in this pipe. And so these five men,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they don't have their scuba gear on, went from just
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: standing outside the pipe two feet first, flying into this
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: pipe with all of their heavy equipment all around them
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and their seawater all over them. They're holding their breath
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and so they get sucked down the vertical section. They
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: turn the corner, and they get rocketed out to sea.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: They're on the twelve hundred foot long section the horizontal section,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: just blazing a trail. Now, think about this. All five
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of these guys have no idea what's happened. They're on
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a breath hold. They are shooting down a pipe.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: They can't see anything.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: The space inside of this pipe is so narrow, it's
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: two and a half feet across, and so they're getting compressed.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Their shoulders can barely fit inside of this pipe. And
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: so you got a figure that all of them are
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: expecting to die. But eventually the pressure in this pipe
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: did equalize, at which point this vacuum phenomenon stopped up
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: at the habitat, and actually the habitat kind of refilled
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: with air. And when that happened, all the seawater that
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was getting pulled into this pipe also stopped. So no
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: more air, no more seawater is going into this pipe.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like whatever went into the pipe. That's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: what's down there. And when this equalization happened, these men,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: who by this point are on a several minute long
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: breath hold, they eventually begin to slow down and come
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to a stop. And by some miracle, they came to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: stop in a section of this horizontal pipe that was
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: not totally flat to the seabed. It was slightly elevated,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: which meant there was a small air pocket where they stopped.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: And so they come to a stop and they just
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: start gasping for air, and then they begin yelling out
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to each other, and they realize all five of them
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: are alive, and they're all kind of roughly grouped together
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: in this air pocket. And we know this because one
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of their cameras on their bodies was rolling when they
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: were pulled into the pipe, and so we can't see
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: anything because it's pitch black inside of this pipe, but
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: we can hear them talking to each other once everything stops,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and so over the course of this kind of chaotic
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: initial volley of communication up and down the pipe, where
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: again these guys are on their backs. You know, they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: can't move at all. They're completely kind of trapped in position.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And even though they're in an air pocket. There is
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: water kind of close to their face, and so they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: have this little area to breathe in. They're panicking, they're
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: screaming at each other. But in this volley, they're able
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to figure out that Christopher was the closest to the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: way they had come into the pipe, meaning his head
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was closest to the vertical section, closest to shore, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: all four other men were right below him, and so
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Christopher knew if they were going to get out, their
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: best chance was to backtrack head towards the way they
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: came in, which meant Christopher would have to lead them.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And so Christopher kind of found it within himself again
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: we can hear him on audio, and he told the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: others to calm down and link their feet onto the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: person below them's shoulders, and so to do that, the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: only way these guys could move in this tight little
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: pipe is just by pushing with their heels and so
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: painfully slowly. These guys were very badly battered at this point.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, they came flying in here, surrounded by all
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: their heavy equipment crashing into them. Guys had broken bones,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: they were really badly beat up. But they finally make
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: their way until they're all linked, you know, feet under
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: each other's shoulders, and then Christopher in the lead, began
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: kind of going in reverse, inching their way up the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: pipe back towards the way they came in. Now, the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: reason they felt strongly that they needed to act right
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: away and not wait for rescue is because they didn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: really understand how this had even happened. They didn't know
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: if at any moment more water was going to pour
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: into this pipe. They also understood that they're was limited
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: air and at some point they would suffocate, and so
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: with that in mind, they begin this journey, and right
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: away Christopher reaches the first flooded section of the pipe.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Now you have to understand they have no idea how
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: long this flooded section of pipe is, and so once
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you start moving into this flooded section behind you, once
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you go underwater, you're either gonna find another air pocket
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: at some point or you're gonna drown. And so it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: would turn out that only Christopher and the guy right
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: below him, Faisal, were willing and physically able to attempt
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: this potential suicide mission, and so the others they began
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: panicking the others who were not going to go, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: they're screaming out for Christopher and Phisal not to leave them.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: You can hear it on audio.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: But Christopher and Feisal they felt strongly that somebody has
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to go to the surface and get help. And so
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Christopher and Phisoal linked together begin inching into this flooded
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: section of pipe pitch black. They have no idea what's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: going to happen, and they're slowly going under the water,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and they just begin inching their way on a breath hold.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And by some miracle, this first flooded section they entered
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: into was not very long, and so both Christopher and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Phisal were able to barely, you know, coughing and gagging,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: get out the other side into yet another air pocket.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And by an even bigger miracle, in that new air pocket,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Christopher above him, he managed to get one hand above
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: his head. He felt scuba tanks, two of them, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: he was able to take one of them and somehow
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: force it past the side of his body down to Fisal,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and so both men suddenly had an air tank. Now
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: they had to kind of awkwardly pin the tank above
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: their head. These tanks are not light. If you've not
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: scuba dived. It's like pushing a pretty heavy weight. And
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they had the regulator, so the mouthpiece that actually gives
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you the air in their mouths, but they couldn't really
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: hold the mouthpiece in place.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: It was this very awkward thing they were going to do.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: But this meant they could now enter much longer flooded
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: sections of pipe and potentially make it out the other side.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And so, with their air tanks on top of their
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: heads and their mouthpieces in their mouth ripping down as
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: hard as they can with their teeth, they continue to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: inch along with their heels and they entered into more
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and more of these flooded sections of pipe. As they're
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: doing this, they know they have a scuba tank, but
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: they have no idea how much air is in these tanks.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: They can't see the gauge, and so it's kind of
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the same thing as going in on a breath hold.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: You don't know when you're gonna run out of air
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: because you don't know how long these flooded sections are.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So you can only imagine how terrifying this must have been.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But they kept on going and going, and finally, after
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: hours of this, that Christopher and Faisal are going through
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: these terrifying stretches of you know, hoping they can hold
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: onto that mouthpiece and hoping they got enough air they'd
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: get through these flooded sections hit the next air pocket.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: After hours of doing that, they reach this air pocket
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: where Fisal starts to kind of lose it and he
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: starts yelling to Christopher in the total dark stop. But
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: he didn't have a reason, you know, and Christopher could
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: kind of set that Feisal's starting to lose it and
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we're running out of time here, and Christopher, I mean,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: he can hear the other divers that they had left
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: behind in the beginning screaming out all the way back
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: down the pipe. And so Christopher he stayed composed, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: he tried to get Feisal to calm down and come
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: with him, but when it was clear he wasn't going to,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: he told Feisal that, hey, I'm going to keep going alone.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Then I'm going to get us help and I'll be
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: back for you. And so Feisil he was still panicking,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and he yelled at Christopher not to go any further.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: But Christopher knew he had to go, and so with
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the sound of his friends screaming out for him, to stop.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Christopher again cinched down with his teeth on the mouthpiece,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: continued to push this air tank above his head, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he inched his way closer and closer to the entrance
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of this pipe. And after reaching a very long underwater
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: section where he knows he's running out of air his tank,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: hint the kink in the pipe where it went vertical again,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: which meant right above him was the exit. The habitat
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: is right up there, and so Christopher was able to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: kind of turn and swim up this vertical section until
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: he popped up and it was again another air pocket,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: except the water level in this vertical section was not
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: close enough to the exit of the pipe to actually
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: pull himself out. It was like Christopher was stuck at
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the bottom of a well, like there's nothing he can do.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But luckily there was a chain that was dangling down
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: in arms reach, and so Christopher grabbed the chain and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: just had to wait, having no idea if anybody was
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: coming to get them. But eventually two rescue divers did
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: get into the habitat and they reached down and they
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: pulled Christopher out of the pipe, and they saved him.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And when they brought him up to the surface, Christopher
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: saw that Paria Fuel had their emergency response team on site.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: The Trinidad and Tobago Coastguard was there, and it's clear
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: they're getting ready to do some sort of rescue operation.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And so Christopher, who's totally traumatized, he's badly hurt, he
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: still ran up to authorities and told them all four
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: of my colleagues are still alive. I heard them banging
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in the pipes. I know they're in air pockets. You
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: gotta go back down to save But ultimately the authorities
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: decided it was not safe to send rescuers down into
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: this pipe. And so when Christopher found out they were
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: not going to try to rescue his friends who are
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: literally banging the pipe, he can hear them, he tried
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to jump back in the water to do it himself,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and they stopped him, and then Christopher was rushed to
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the hospital where once he was admitted to the intensive
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: care unit, he tried to check himself out to go
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: back to the water to save his friends, but again
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Christopher was stopped. For two whole days. After Christopher was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: rescued from this pipe, his colleagues, the four other divers
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: remained trapped in the most claustrophobic, horrible situation imaginable, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: they continued to bang on the pipe and make noises
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that could be heard on the surface, but nobody did anything,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: and so finally, on February twenty seventh, the noises stopped inside.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Of the pipe because all of the men died.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: They either died of suffocation because they ran out of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: air in the pipe, or they died from one of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: their injuries, or they attempted to do one of those
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: long underwater sections of pipe on a breath hold because
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: they didn't have scuba tanks, and they drowned. On February
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, three of the diver's bodies were recovered, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the final body, the fourth diver, was recovered on March third.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: It's unclear why Christopher and the other divers did not
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: do something to equalize the pressure inside of the habitat
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and inside of this pipe before undoing the plug, because
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: this vacuum effect, which is known as delta p is
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: actually easy to anticipate and relatively easy to prevent. But
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the investigation into exactly what happened and who is to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: blame is still ongoing. However, the only survivor Christopher, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: many other people who are following this case, they believe
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the four deaths are directly attributable to Peia Fuel, who
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: were primarily responsible for not allowing a rescue operation to
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: happen in those first two days where you could clearly
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: hear the sounds of these divers banging on the pipe.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: And so to finish this story, I'm going to show
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you the final footage taken by one of the divers, Kazim,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: who was the one who got the wrench and brought
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: it back inside the habitat, handed it off, and then
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that wrench was used to push the lever which created
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the vacuum. You'll see in this video that it looks
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: like nothing is going on, and Kazim is just inside
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of this habitat and all the divers are fine, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: then it's like his camera just turns black.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: What's happening there.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Is he was pulled so quickly into the pipe that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: it looks like it was a cut of the camera,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: when in reality, that's just how fast everything inside of
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that habitat was pulled into the pipe. This video is
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: highly distressing. Viewer discretion is advised.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Not so that's going to do it.
