- The Northern Mariana Islands form a remote archipelago 2,500 kilometers southeast of Tokyo, perched on the precipice of the deepest point in the world, the Mariana Trench.
Tinian, one tiny island in this spectacularly beautiful region, played a critical role during World War II. The site of a program known as Project Alberta, Tinian was the top-secret assembly and launch point for the atomic bombs readied for use against the Japanese, two of which, Little Boy and Fat Man, made history when deployed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
The trail leads to a massive off-shore dumpsite, a veritable World War II museum beneath the crystal blue waters. The seafloor is scattered with unexploded ordnance and bomb parts that contain phosphorous, forcing the Dive Detectives to take special precautions. Unsuspecting local divers have pulled the coral-like material to the surface, where it can ignite in the air, burning at up to 800 degrees Celsius and causing serious injuries.

More than 40 shipwrecks serving as mass graves to thousands of WWII soldiers are vanishing from the Java seabed... Follow the documentary team as they investigate the world’s biggest grave robbery. ⚓ ruclips.net/video/EammJfECZQY/видео.html
What would be the motivation for taking the ships
The only weapon of mass destruction they found down there was that Crown of thorns Starfish at 7:21 those things are horrible!
Well at least we're getting some marine biology information...
There is a better chance of the guys on oak Island finding a boat load of gold
I don’t think anyone asked lil bro🫵😂
Haha Yeah, I doubt they’ll ever find a ‘mother load’ of solid gold etc; but they do find very interesting bits of authentic history going back many, many, centuries.
Watching is a fun ride.
@@Chuck8541 no one asked
Exactly! Best comment! No way there would be unused Nuclear Bombs in the ocean.
No but there is Spanish treasure
Title of this video is absolutely misleading. It should be........
Waste 45 minutes to see a rusty wire connector.
Glad I read your comment first. Saved me 45 minutes.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please me being a 21 yr vet in the army. Any and all atomic weapons were taken to San Diego followed to Area 51 for storage. Then moved to Texas for permeant storage for security reasons.
Yes, Carswell, then what is now Pantex, I believe. At least the cores were. They may have ditched some of the casings, but those went into the Trench, to keep them from being recovered and reverse engineered.
Look in the old Fort Worth bunkers, now covered in cement, from the 40's.
Area 51 (Dreamland/Groom Lake) has never stored nuclear weapons, Nellis AFB (Lake Mead Base/Area 2) has two weapons storage areas. Weapons going to Pantex in Texas are for stockpile stewardship (maintenance) or dismantling. They do store the plutonium pits removed, roughly 14,000 of them at last count.
Click bait, the Navy would do this and you would never hear of it.
Thank you for sharing this information, I find this info very interesting, especially after watching something about the super extreme secrecy about Area 51 and some of its former employees from around the 50s and 60s.
A little surprised that any diver would not know a Crown of Thorns starfish on sight. They are out of control and threaten the Great Barrier Reef. Nasty critters.
Lance on the .50 ..."...there everywhere man"!
13:23 Quonset Huts. It’s a tribe from Rhode Island…my home state.
Quonset? Wasn't he a base player for Rare Earth, back in 73?
TLDR they found a few military amphenol connectors which are used in 1001 applications and claim to found a bit of one of the bombs. Absolute junk history.
You got that right. There is now way the US would have thrown away parts just because the war ended. The US understood the strength of the card they were holding, what kind of an idiot would seriously think they would have just thrown that away?
@42:30 that is a socket for what is called a Cannon Plug. Nothing military specific, it's just a very common multi-pin electrical connector with a metal housing that screws together. They are everywhere, used for everything, even today. I bet if they turned around and looked at the camera gear filming themselves, they would have found 1 or 2 in use. Totally mundane dime-a-dozen connector and not evidence of an A-bomb housing.
I mean the dude that built the bombs literally said what it was so it most likely was what he said it was so yeah in this instance that is what they were for
At the end, we just found a connector.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fast forward and these idiots! Found nothing
100
because the bombs came from Germany, Patton stole them in Ohrdruf Thurigina
Thanks just saved 45 minutes
One of my favorite shows and a great episode.
Long gone. Got all of them in the 60s
"How do you know?" "I still got the shovel"
The nuclear ☢️ part of both bombs were built right here in WA at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Unfortunately though, I moved about 30 miles South of the reservation 20yr ago this summer. Now I’m a downwinder.
I might be dating myself but this reminds me of “Al Capone’s Vault”
You nailed it. Going to need popcorn. Jiffypop!
Yea, but it was real. And real is 50/50. Like look at the glass half full dude, what if Geraldo would have opened something real on live TV?
Gold panning does not always lead to the main vein, sometimes just bigger nuggets.
The bomb casings are on display in a museum in New Mexico!
Considering they had to melt down the demon core to potentially build a 3rd bomb and fissile
material was beyond rare at the time of the end of WW2, what are you looking for? an empty bomb casing? There would be no nuclear material just dumped at that time. They wanted it all for more bombs.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. There's no chance they would've dumped a-bomb core components anywhere random or inconsequential. Back in the mid-40s there was precious little of nuclear material -- not a solitary milligram would go to waste if they could possibly avoid it.
14:20 I didn’t know MacGuyver was in this?!
Give me a break, all B-29’s had constant speed propellers, that proves nothing.
Yet they are talking about variable
@@machinesonabudget4040 a constant speed propeller is a variable pitch propeller the only difference is in the control of the pitch not in the mechanics of the propeller itself. All B-29 aircraft had constant speed propellers, ALL of them.
Thrust reversing props is unique, but yeah they’re all variable pitch props lmao
My great grand pappy made these bombs and he told me they were all destroyed many years ago, so I knew this one was BS.
Since the program is about bombs, how about do an show about the bombee in Lao which American has left it after the war
Officers at C.I.A. yo you watch something funny 🤣
World history with kindergarten graduate 😮
Maaaine that one dude with da Brown hair loocs like Tom Cruise 😂😂😂
Why don’t you ever cite the makers of these old docs? That’s basic integrity.
Something this world is lacking . Nice thought, though 👍
Because this whole show is a misleading waste of time

The complexity of making a bomb at that time and the difficulties of producing the materials makes it unlikely anything except some wiring and ancillary components used for transportation might have been dumped. My dad was at the tests in Maralinga and except for radiation and contaminated soil nothing was left behind.
It’s extremely unlikely that they would toss millions of dollars worth of nuclear equipment in the drink
And very secretive.
They dove 50 feet not meters
I would like to have one. Make a great conversation piece😂
Lol the piece de resistance
The lost nukes were hydrogen bombs and this was Korea through the coldwars entirety
Then you do the Hokey Pokey and you join these clowns……those plugs are just mil spec wire connectors used on a ton of stuff back then.
@@billyhead1625😂❤
Uh, the lost hydrogen bombs is a completely different story…
Great video , nothing is easy to find
Note to diver/interviewer and future interviewers; when the los Alamos interviewee said that he felt relief after atomic bomb flattened Hiroshima, that's a perfect spot for some follow-up questions.
Even though he may be warped, this isn't about 1 guy's opinion, especially when he is just a nobody.
@@cattymajiv no one is a nobody
I agree, the saving of life that those bombs did is worth some more attention.
@@Slake2 it was done to warn off soviets as mush as japanese
Project Alberta was a great success, I have always been very interested about the subject 👍
I can’t believe they would have dumped top secret material off some obscure island.
I seriously doubt they did. They weren't such idiots that they would spend billions to keep it secret, and then just let anyone have large parts of it by throwing it there. It's television sensationalism. Don't tell me you've never seen a fake documentary before!
They knew how to make an atomic bomb but never learned how to recycle.
Check out those "pineapple" frag grenades and all that other ordnance @ 10:33- 10:43! I have collected inert ordnance, firearms, cartridges, bayonets, knives, swords, bladed weapons, and other militaria over the past 25 years. If there was someway to de-activate some of those pieces safely and then "restore" them close to how they originally looked, alot of those pieces could be worth some good $$ at gun shows, machine gun shoots, museums, etc.
You got the funds to go do all that? Dude it's greed minded idolatrous thinking.
Restoring old cemeteries is nice too, but do you know how many billions of people are buried? and how many headstones need restoring over the centuries of weather and exposure? Take a few to enjoy and be satisfied.
Here's an observation...on a couple of thier dives, especially in warm Pacific waters my ive never seen any sharks...that whole area is home to multiple species , especially Tiger sharks....USS INDIANAPOLIS
I thought it was going to be about the Tybee Bomb.
7:22 crown of thorns buddy, crown of thorns…
for us scuba diving buffs,😂😂😂
Mekong my friend............mekong.
Well,at least the scuba diving and scenery is interesting for us marine biology buffs😂😂
All of the B29’s had a variable pitch propeller. Pulling the propellers through was done to make sure the bottom cylinders were not full of oil before start. Not a method of “kick starting” the engine.
If you make a history documentary please get the facts straight.
The premise is utterly ridiculous.
it made a show right? like most other postings on RUclips .... $200 per1000 clicks.
Now is the darkest time !!
Total BS. There was only one other core (the demon core). The rest is just metal parts. Dramatic BS
Ok Oppencryer
Why is Bill Dauterive leading these two Canadian men looking for A Bombs??? Also this is a really crummy video.
I don't know if I'm the one to be called stupid, or all the people making the comments on how they never found anything. I'm a 43 y/o Swede and never thought for a second that this documentary claim they were searching or would find actual pieces that could explode. The outer casings and such, yes but nothing else.
I don't think this documentary was a waste of time. It seems to be something weird in the minds of Americans and their fascination of nuclear and / or atomic bombs. After all, they are pretty much the only people setting off those kinds of bombs on their own soil, let alone letting other countries do it.
For me, it will always be a mystery how you can be so proud of being an American, and at the same time be so stupid.
These guys came half way around the world to film this search for A bomb parts... and they didn't bring any equipment to remove coral?
My great grandfather was also involved with the makings of the Atomic Bomb.
Same. Mine two
Re: the bomb pits at the beginning of the show, “…[nukes] made wars not worth fighting anymore…”.
😂😂 oops. Humans be human’ing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Think about it, would the government throw away their newest super weapons with the tensions between us and Russia.
The heat woulda evaporated the casing in less than a milisecond😅
If you were smart you should have grabbed a radioactive sensor to make it found quicker
Someone throw stuffs somewhere 🤣 and someone search again for that trash 😂😂😂 Jokes
My grandfather piloted the plane that dropped little boy.
Neat! What did he do after the war ended?
Murderer
No sure anyone can be proud of that. But in the other hand everyone finds himself were destiny tells
@@moneyflow5766 How embarrassing, you're stupidly confusing the Pilot with the Bombardier who was the one who took over steering for the final approach and hit the trigger to drop the bomb.
😳🫡🏆🎫🎗️🏵️🎖️🏅
amphenol connector for the bomb Wonder if it was made in Danbury connecticut.
I also noticed there were no Honey Buckets on the island, what's up with that?
Mekong my friend.............mekong.
Wouldn't "parts" of the bomb have been exploded upon impact?
Where’s your rock hammer?
The darkest times in human history??? --- No mate, they are just on their way
tino strukkman/lost battlefields has already found buried nuclear bombs in germany
radar was very important equipment, and there would be so many radar units needing to be serviced .. the existence of radar equipment is not unique to bomb making.
So were not going to talk about the treasure chest they found at 23:40????
Maby bring a geiger counter to start with!
If you did find any parts of a nuclear bomb this video would not exist now !!!!!!!!
20 minutes For Nothing ...... RECYCLING STORIES X50 😅
And that other dude loocs a little bit like arnold zwarschenegger
yea.. i skipped to the end and yea expected result found nothing because there was nothing there .. ever
The Soviet’s invasion would probably have been enough. The bombs could not have been.
I tuned out when he said they’re pushing the props to kickstart the engine. Give me a break if you can’t figure out out radials work I don’t trust your atom bomb knowledge
It was a wonderful historical coverage video shared by an amazing (history Hit) network page and nice (Timeline) channel. Documentary clearly shows ultra cruelty of US Pentagon during wartimes and laziness, foolishness of Soviet KGB abroad beyond US Gaint capabilities.
Sadly drifting toward History Channel nonsense.
whatever
We have thousands of bombs icbms so yeah its possible an ally of misssin ones
If they did dump it it Corresponds with typical American government wastefulness
Why are most of the measurements done in metric? Everything here is American, produced by Americans. Should be using imperial standard measurements not metric
100%. Blame it on the Democratic N.E.A. and manufacturing outsourcing.
Just ask Boeing about the 787 Dreamliner.
People on here are just....
That man trying to justify what was done at Nagasaki and Hiroshima is revolting. He is not telling the whole story, and does a disservice to the students of history.
The scientist? I mean, he kind of has to tell himself it was worth it so he can live with himself, I would imagine.
Your right to judge this man does not exist . the world was an entirely different place with only one goal . Win to survive .not only did japan hit pearl harbor they shelled the Oregon coast .trying to knock out a fuel depo for refueling ships they did shell them but the navy had come refueled and left day's before so the tanks were empty .and do not forget they occupied the Aleutian Islands for some time and fled when they knew the U.S. was coming .
My grandfather was the pilot of the plane that dropped phat man.!
so they didn't find it 😂
@28:00 the propellers where all variable pitch. You can’t fly this planes with fixed pitch.
Later models had reversible props as they are similar to a Lockheed constellation system.
So no fact that the silver plate models where the only ones that can be reversed
So glen can’t see anything about that prop as all where variable.
My 2 cents .. this docu is BS. Just an adventure.
Was there the menace of radioaCTIve materials... Never liked this false 'history' makers...
Well the Japanese shouldn't have never messed with Pearl Harbor and it would have never happened from the start Ok if you play stupid games you will win stupid prizes obviously
Spoiler alert - The found nothing
ye lets not take anything with us that can read radiations rofl smart
Hey, we're gonna stage some bolt in the middle of all this in the woods and while y'all are walking we want you to happen to look down to your left and say hey, it's some damn bolt but we want you to MAKE SURE you specify/call it some fancy sounding name of a specific bolt when it's really just an ordinary bolt.😂😂😂.. Yeah,they definitely aren't finding anything good especially pieces to nukes if you didn't already know that beforehand.
What was this. Lmao dude saying nukes stopped war while a few were going on and one is about to start
Timeline nonsense. The two bombs for Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the only ones. No others would be available if the war continued for a period of time.
Stop lying.
You are wrong. There very over 40 variations of them.. the housings were made for different altitudes. But you are an expert .
This kinda reminds me of the trash documentaries you see on Discovery Channel now days.
Even if there were other parts from an Opsec standpoint it makes no sense to just dump them into shallow water. Much of what they have to say does not pass the smell test to begin with after watching I can say this is a waste of time.
What are your sources for this info? Or did you juatbdecide it's a fact?
Worst suppose documentaries ever seen.
This "docu" id a Business idea to make money.
Propaganda, how can you track down secrets ?
They left that odd aluminum tube but brought electrical connector that's so common and still in use only that lightbulb or Phillips machine screws would be more common, what a BS-scripted waste of time!
The last sentence "...relief..."when the bomb was dropped....food for thought must of weighed heavily. Walter Benjamin "critique of violence" is poignant,,soldiers life to pregnant women, baby, child, teenager, women, elderly, handicapped or man, civilian....is it comparable? Life is life one might say but we do have morals ethics code of conduct international law....etc. should we mention radiation? Yet today Israel doing the same nearly 100 years have we learnt with all that has been established by predominantly the US Roosevelt like UN...etc. So sad to be justifying the DROP by saying "it ended the war"........
BS DRAMA DUMP. If you are reading the comments before watching.... MOVE ON.
They find nothing waste of time watching boreing
Maybe the Russians already got it?
Deep they would have to go deep and maybe Ai 🤖 to know what kind it is ok not Ai but scanners maybe from space
Something to detect the amount of what ever it was made of and has
Deep definitely and ships and the robots to go down to it and inspect with human control as well
Maybe just coat it and not move it 😂
Not sure about moving it 😂
A joke of wonaby documentary journalists... easy ;)
😳
☝️
Nah they sold it to the Soviets 😂
Highest bidder is the best bidder…😊
