Wow
Awsome !!
Making dreams come true makes life amazing. I'm heading off to Everest Base Camp. Not bad for a guy who was a wheelchair user a couple of months ago.
This is awesome, can't wait for updates on this. I would like a video explaining who is helping on the local side logistics etc.
The US govt relocated all 140ish Bikinians to a nearby death island with no food, nuked their home islands "for the betterment of humankind" for 2 years, then checked back up on the bikinians (half had starved in those 2 years marooned on a nearby island), only to return them to the world's first and only site of an accidental fusion bomb. They then suffered severe radiation deaths and damage from literally every source possible – water, the food the grew, the air the breathed.
it wasn't "poor planning". It was extremely deliberate. And it wasn't an agreement, either, one had guns and warships and the other didnt speak their language. They were relocated to a coral atoll that was literally uninhabited – for a reason…
This is literally the same administration that set off nukes in the desert UPWIND to other forcefully relocated native peoples in Nevada.
They were collecting data, and they knew it, and we STILL believe the cover stories and lies about "they didn't know"
as if they didnt drive their boats all the way out to the middle of the pacific to get away from their own cities to test the bombs, and then in a million miles of open water, they just so happen to choose the island that already had people and not the uninhabited atoll right next to it? they NEEDED the island with people on it already??
Can’t be that dangerous, surely someone could do it in 6months from being a none diving with enough training
REALLY looking forward to the next clip.
Amazing. Can’t wait to see the next parts!
The Op Crossroads Able test was less effective than expected mainly because they dropped the weapon half a mile from where it was meant to be. There was also a German ship present, the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, which is actually easily accessible by recreational divers. She survived the tests but sprung a leak and was so contaminated that it could not be repaired. She was towed away and eventually capsized and sank in shallow water at Kwajalein Atoll. She is now is now radiation, ordnance and oil free, and available to dive.
James what about the current radiation levels. You didn't say anything about that
Awesome Channel – long time lurker. I avidly look forward to the next in the series.
Really cool, James! Happy for you!
Great video mate.
Happy about this. I lived in the Marshall Island in Kwajalein Atoll and the scuba diving was unlike anywhere else. Never got over there I was only recreational but Super cool to see this
