@@bari2883 I was wondering that same thing. It’s not like each whale was gonna line up calmly at the opening and wait their turn to be harnessed. How was that ever gonna work?
"The Orcas, highly intelligent, apex predators of the sea, ordered cell powered heating units from Amazon with a preapproved AMEX card to break up the ice, even getting free over night by signing up for an Amazon Prime Free Trial, and then cancelling it."
I live in Maine, ice even three inches thick can take hours to days to chop through on the solid ground. It's also back-breaking work that needs ice picks, hammers, and shovels. If they can stand on the ice and walk around where the hole is, I would say it would take months to chop through without special equipment. Especially since it's on the water which changes constantly, and if it's that strong to hold under the currents and tides where it needs to be thicker to hold together. Look at a rapidly flowing river in the winter sometime in freezing conditions, it's very rare for it to be frozen because of that reason. Yeah, you need special equipment to chop through such thick ice. It doesn't look thick on the surface, but I'd say it's at least a mile thick underneath.
There is also no record, in all history, of any Orca ever killing any human, in the WILD. By comparison, in the relatively few years they've been in captivity, there have been several human deaths and also severe, non-fatal attacks, attributed to Orcas.
There is record of Orcas showing hunting behaviour towards humans trapped on ice flakes. But whether or not that person would be killed or eaten after is left unknown.
saranoid damn “several” its almost like they kill human atleast once a year but nope they don’t. There’s also recorded orca attacks on human, not deaths but attacks in the wild
@@pendagar449 Why don't you have some respect & keep God's name out of this? You would do well to heed what the bible says about the 5th Commandment in Exodus 20:7 "You must not use the name of the Lord your God thoughtlessly. The Lord will punish anyone who is guilty and misuses his name"
These transients Orcas are more adaptable than the local ones around BC which tend to stay around the shores and have a certain diet of Salmon only.Transients are said to more knowledgable about where the best food sources are and tend to be better hunters than the resident Orcas so of course their population is much larger than the ones around BC,Either way one of the most social mammals in the ocean and have they own family structure.Probably smarter than dolphins.
They are called Killer Whales whether you like it or not. Killer Whales sounds awesome and that's what they were called first. They go by many names so stfu and YOU call them Orcas and leave the people who like Calling them Killer Whales.
For people commenting on how they should have cut holes in the ice: Ice is extremely thick and hard to break. I live in Maine where once a year we usually get hit by (varying degree depending on the year) an ice storm. You can literally spend the whole day cleaning off your driveway of ice, even six inches. This is on the stable ground where nothing is moving. One time I spent all day scraping my driveway clean with a shovel for six inches of ice in 40-degree Fahrenheit weather. Another time I hired someone to scrape a pathway of about five feet for oil to be delivered after an ice storm, it took them four hours to clean off all the ice. With professional equipment. It's not something to mess around with. Since they can stand on the ice and it's on the water, I'd say it's about a mile thick. With currents, tides, and other factors, ice to be able to be that solid to not be affected by the different shifts in the water. There's no way that they can break that ice to the water below even if they had a huge group of volunteers to do so. Sadly, there's nothing that could've been done.
Lmao ok I live in mn and have a cabin on a lake that freezes yearly. Ice is ice regardless..so you are right and wrong. Since ice is as strong as you say, and it is, you can stand on anything over a few inches. For example, about 7 or 8 inches is safe for a small car. If it were a mile deep those orcas wouldn't be able to move up n down so quickly like they are and they'd never have escaped. A mile is an incredible distance and that's just completely inaccurate. Beyond that, do u know how cold the deep water is? Water doesn't freeze under extreme pressure (in this case, at depth) so 1 mile is impossible and never would happen, ever. You said the ocean needs to be thicker to not break up. Yea....that's why it broke up and they escaped 😂😂😂 that's why the ocean ice is mostly in pieces except certain locations or time of year. I'm so confused how u went from accurate to so wrong, so fast . Lol
They don't sleep like humans do and sleep with one eye open, basically. They rest and, as far as I know, go into a state where they're half awake near the surface so they're able to take a breath. Orcas live in pods and help each other out, while mother whales also help out their young by swimming and keeping them afloat. Same with other species of dolphins and whales.
They moved to the Caribbean and the problem is over, now they live happily in the virgin islands enjoying good fish and a lot of lobster, the best part is that everything is free.
It would be too expensive and time consuming, not to mention traumatic for the Orcas. There are people who have invested their lives to researching and conserving the species and they know better than anyone else that being pragmatic is necessary.
William Levy nope, whales are not dolphins. Dolphins are a sub species of whales, but it doesn't work the other way around. Basically all dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins.
Aww my babies!!! Surely someone could have pulled the ice to give the Orcas more air and room to breathe... If they really cared about Orcas they would have made a way.. I pray the Orcas get out to sea and find food, peace, and freedom.
Some species of whales (Orcas are dolphin family btw) can live over 150 yrs. There was one Right Whale which was found still alive in the 21st Century with a harpoon that was specially made during the 19th Century whaling years making that particular whale have an estimated age nearly over 140s yrs old. I can believe it since it is a fact that animals with lower heart rates tend to life longer.
Always send the icebreakers anyways. The way an icebreaker can cut parallel relief channels, it doesn't have to get close to the whales to totally break up pack ice. Icebreakers rule over sea ice! BTW, we're coming up on the 50th Anniversary, in August-September of 2019 of the most epic icebreaker in history -- the S.S. Manhattan, a huge (for then) oil tanker converted by Esso-Humble Oil (later Exxon) into the biggest icebreaker ever. Deadweight 115,000 tons, and she was modified with a huge, heavy icebreaking prow, as well as more hull braces and protective skirts for her rudders and propellers. She conquered the Northwest Passage in 1969, and back when sea ice was much heavier than today. Hail to the Manhattan!
To be able to hold that long in constantly shifting water: I'd say that ice is about a mile thick. They're fine, and most likely could have a hundred people on that same spot with no problems.
a colourful suit isn't a bad idea, but Cetaceans (whales and dolphins) primarily rely upon sonar to "see" underwater, since they are often in murky or dark waters. Their sonar is far more sophisticated than what the military, or medical community uses. It is said that using sonar, Cetaceans can "see" if a female human in the water is pregnant, they can "see" our hearts beating. This theory would do much to explain the attachment Cetaceans exhibit toward people.
Who TF thought "yeah let's pick up the whales with a helicopter" was an even remotely good idea, they're not gonna just hop aboard these are wild animals
Hey animal lovers you guys still not thinking about ship ice breaker for inukjuak it could happen again anytime in winter i believe hudson bay really needs a ice breaker (think about that animal lovers) thats a good idea :)

One whale weighs approx 5 tons 30 ft long... here they're 5 5x 30= 60 ft 5x6 = 30 tons Rescuing them would've endangered the rescuers But amazingly they escaped? Wow
A week later, a fleet of Japanese 'research' ships caught them in their nets... they were sliced and diced and packed up, stuffed into their warehouse coolers to be shipped to schools all across Japan and eaten by children at lunchtime.
No, it actually doesn't. There are plenty of Orcas in captivity that are far older than 20. I have issues with the values of the numbers as well, but just assuming they are accurate, you'd be comparing maximum observed lifespan in the wild with average lifespan in captivity including child mortality(which is abysmal in the wild as well)
Is this the same pod that killed the pod of narwhals?. Maybe mother nature was trying to even up the odds as narwhals and Bulaga whales have no ice to hide under anymore to get away from the orcas. Don't get me wrong. I love orcas. But that attack on the narwhals was pure butchery. They killed the whole pod, more meat than they could consume in a week. They reminded me of the bored village dogs 50 years ago, that would join up in a pack at night, taking down calves and any cows trying to defend them. Anything that survived their attacks had to be shot anyway. We've changed the environment so much that there are killer whales in Hudson 's Bay hunting the seals and Bulagas that the polar bear needs when he is able to get back on the ice after fasting for 6 months instead of four and a half. I hope it is not too late for all the polar animals. I think about anything that I can to to minimize my impact on the environment, from starting my car to purchases I make. I keep my heat at 70 degrees and wear socks and a hoody if I feel cold. Every little bit can help. We all need to work together. Don't sit in an idling car, turn it off! Or better yet, make it electric next time. Please. I'd like my great great grandchildren to be able to see these animals alive, not just as images in books or on film.
Maybe because there is less things to eat and the Orcas are having to go north more to find something. I seen a report the other day that said the average salmon caught in Alaska are getting smaller and smaller.
The saddest thing is that people don't care about what happens with them. An helicopter is ''too costly'' to save the lifes of 20 animals, but if it is the president they could get 100 helicopters from another part of the world. I hate humans
I hate to be negative Nancy but just because you can't see them doesn't mean they escaped. The pod could have drowned under the ice. I hope not but since no one actually seen the pod leave it is a possibility. You have a hundred mile ice problem. The weather changed so they could move but not move a hundred miles. At best they are having the same problem somewhere else. hmmm actually I have no idea how fast whales can swim, maybe they did make it out.
Renae Woolley well think about it, this is most likely a northern transient orca. The ones in sea world are southern resident or transient. They wouldn’t take him even if it would make them more money. You comment is old but imma still comment lel.

This just happened again in 2024. Ten orcas also freed themselves from the same situation. Orcas are still undefeated

They go a shore and take naps lol
Thank you mother nature for providing a way.
if its thin enough it will...problem is ice can freeze a couple of feet thick...which could prevent any type of cracking large enough for it to break

Could they have been deliberately churning the water in the ice hole to prevent it from refreezing?
