My grandpa was a technician for our phone company back in the day. Being the autistic phone nerd I was he let me cleave and splice a fiber cable for my 12th birthday. That's still one of the coolest experiences I ever had. Thanks grandpa 🙂
@@Boulders911I'm guessing you're doing back-haul splicing (multi-peer) but here I am doing single core Residencial and minus running the actual cable all it takes is about 50 seconds XD
Seems pretty obvious that something fishy was going on with that freighter. Stops in the middle of the ocean for no apparent reason and also has its tracking cut out? While being a chinese ship? It feels way too obvious that it was intentional, so I'm wondering if they're intentionally wanting to appear incompetent to make people assume that they couldn't be this stupid...
Both the cables got cut right at the time this ship was overhead. You could calculate the odds of this being accidental. Moreover, during the voyage this ship sailed over some other cables that were NOT damaged. If you'd try to calculate the odds of that happening, you'd get a very, very small number. Moreover, an anchor is ment to keep a ship from moving. So sailing a ship with its anchor out is like driving your car with the handbrake on. And as an anchor is not attached to the midline of the ship sailing with an anchor out would also yaw the ship sideways. To me it is very unlikely that any captain would not notice the anchor being dragged across the sea floor.
So they left tracking on before and then turned it back on after... as if object permanence doesn't exist Also, that hitting only two cables and nothing else... yeah.
Literally every Chinese sea vessel is a warship: Coast guard, logistics, fishing boats. The only thing that aren’t warships are literal warships which are either under water or under infinite construction hahaa!
Weird timing, just saw a graphic of all of the undersea cables and thought - wonder how long it'd take to get them back online & that'd be a good way for a country to attack another's Internet
Few weeks. There are dozens of ships in operation who's only job is to repair and splice broken communications cables, and routinely lift cables from the bottom of the ocean way deeper than the wreck of titanic. Compared to that these cables are basically at the surface and so are much easier and cheaper to reach and repair
After a thorough examination the CCP concludes that the anchor malfunctioned and accidentally got dragged around for 6 hours before the anchor decided it had enough
Electricity travelling on copper cables are also electromagnetic wave, speed is proportional to its line characteristic impedance usually travels aboun 0.6C 60 percent speed of light, in optic cables higher frequency em travels faster but don't reach the speed of light since their are guided a refractive material which also has some line impedance make it a little bit slower. I really appreciate your content and I know you are behind the details that's why I'm politely pointing it out. Thanks for your content.
Since Chinese is a communist nation, and thus private shipping/business doesn't exist as far as China is concerned, other countries should treat this like an act of aggression because it was.
Anchor dragging is really common. Fixing them is pretty easy, if you've a ship available in the area - almost al of them are in the pacific rim though, fixing tectonic plate breaks.
PS, electricity is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, of which visible light is inside, and hence ALSO TRAVELS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT! its not the speed of electricity that makes DSL slow. Resistance in metal and other things do. Even with impedance of copper wire electrons flow at roughly 90% the speed of light, still impossibly fast compared to anything else in existence. If you're interested in learning more about the electromagnetic spectrum I'd implore you to look into your local library. 🤗
AIS down time also happened to other ships on that spot. However, the Yi Peng just happened to drop the anchor just before running over one of the cables, failing to break it, the next two however, broke. The distance of dragging the anchor is revealed trough the AIS data, by the ships low and inconsistent speed.
Like fr they literally just didn't give a fuck and flew a plane over the pipelines. Plane that could carry something suspiciously similar in TNT equivalent to what blew the pipelines.
Wow, they solved this underwater infrastructure sabotage SO quickly compared to that gas pipeline that is still considered to be undetermined after two years.
You forgot to mention the most important part: this is a purposeful act of hybrid war by the axis of evil, since it was a Chinese ship sailing from a Russian port with a Russian captain on board >_>
0:47 well, electric cables also transmit signals at the speed of light. Fiber optics cables aren't better because of latency, they're better because of higher bandwidth and lower signal degradation over long distances.
Not quite. Even for fiber optic, it's slower than the "speed of light" because light travels faster through empty space. or air than material. and electric copper cables have the cons you mentioned plus are indeed slower.
Well, suppose I should have watched for another minute where you brought up those same points lol. But still, light speed in this case is irrelevant since electrical signals are just as fast. Actually, in pure copper, I believe electric signals can travel faster than fiber optic.
@@ghosthunter0950no, you're incorrect. Look up "velocity factor". Electrical signals travel through cat7 at about 75% of the speed of light, while fiber optics is 67%. Edit: but yes, you are right about the speed of light being different in different materials. I was too brief, I just wanted to get across the point that fiber optics technically aren't "faster" when it comes to latency. They are much faster if you're talking bits per second.
if i had a nickel when chinese cargo ships mess up communication lines with anchors, that happened to be in the baltic sea. id have 2 nickels, which isnt much but it is weird
I just don't understand the motive. I would get it if it where close to a war but China has not been moving towards tywan and the few billion in damage are a drop in the bucket if you consider diplomatic costs. Maybe a test run? Very strange.
That's what happens when your entire "culture" is built off massacring the educated class, snitching on your neighbors and parents for arbitrary crimes, destroying all your spiritual and historical sites, and starving half a billion of your citizens, all a generation a go. Apparently they never grew out of it.
Starlink does not have the ability to transmit the amount of data the same way these undersea cables can. It can only really be at best a backup. I'm also not trusting someone like Elon, who is one person with a lot of power you're giving him, has become the real life George Soros people were bitching about for the past decade, and clearly has kompromat in his closet.
Please not even do basic research but just have a cursory look at what your replacing what with what. Replacing undersea cables with 300ms ping low speed satellite connections are like replacing cargo ships with unicycles.

Its wild considering i knew a teacher in school that worked in the navy as a diver tapping russian communications cables.
imagine taking out 2 cables just to it be restored by end of the month lool
It takes around 8 hours to replace a cut. It is pretty wild and impressive that they can do that in that water depth.
what would be the strategic gain of doing something this petty and insignificant
