the fact they didnt do a pilot program with a few hundred tires, before dumping millions, is just mind boggling.
That's what I was thinking. You always test a small area before committing full go with anything.
People tend to go all-in like that. Covid? Yeah instead of creating a for-sure safe vaccine that passed 10-15 years clinical testing like any other drug (so as to be able to say it's safe for *certain*) we hammer out an overnight answer and immediately mandate it upon millions.
Let's hope y'all didn't accidentally pick Hodgkin's Lymphoma over a nuisance cough for 2-3 weeks lol. I definitely didn't take it seriously enough to gamble cancer on an experimental government drug. Dunno why anyone would besides just doing what the TV told them to do
Flroiduh
It took 20 years to before the problems became evident. A pilot program would be shorter than that and the tire reef experiment would have been approved
@@Hex-Mas Yeah, New Yakuhs that move there and screw everything... You can stay there too....
As a fish living in this area, I can attest this has not helped me or my friends and has driven the property value of my house down
And i'm sure the rising sea levels have also put your house at risk of being less shorefront then it used to be.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But... You're a tree. Are you a tree fish?
What you need to do is move to the high class whitewall tire community. If you are especially lucky you will find a redwall tire castle!
As a fish that lives in the same neighborhood i can confirm that this happened to me too
As someone who throws his old car batteries into the ocean to make reefs where the fishes can have electricity for their smartphones, even I think this is insane.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
(2:136 / Translated by Community)

bro what they gonna do on smartphones they avoid nets
It is hard to believe no one ever considered this might not be a good idea.
It is more like someone found an innovative way to dump toxic materials.
Or the us government dumping concrete over a nuclear radioactive waste dump in the Pacific Ocean.
Yeah... Seeing this was so horrible that my eyes rolled back in my head and got stuck.
Welcome to humanity
It’s hard to believe a person actually thought about this and thought it would work. I’m pretty sure a 5 year old could tell you it doesn’t make sense
I bet after the cleanup is finished they will try this again but now with 4 million tires! surely this time it will work!
Honestly, I doubt the intention behind this disaster was ever "Noble."
Sounds to me like whoever came up with this awful idea just wanted to find a shortcut to the tire waste issue at any cost.
But it wasn’t one person’s decision. It involved hundreds and people in dozens of organizations including reputable environmental groups.
Too suggest they were all in collusion to intentionally harm the environment for the nefarious benefit of “Big Rubber” is laughable
Logic
Spot on. They knew what they were doing
Someone made some money off that decision ... I wonder who? 🤔
Evidenced by the authorities quickly permitting the dumping of non-bundled tires.
“Environmentalists and entrepreneurs came up with the idea” is a terrifying statement
What led them to conclude dumping tires in the ocean was a good idea, personal gain 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
always…. the ones that say they want to protect them environment are the ones that don’t have a clue about nature… and end
up making a mess….
Who worked for Goodyear most likely lol
Almost as terrifying as "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you"
sounds like something "disruptive tech bros" would come up with. Ya know, like making a submarine out of sheet metal and fiberglass all steered by a toy video game controller.
This is how you create a problem that doesn't exist
A lot of human problems don't actually exist......welcome to humanity.....
@@Magneticlaw like global warming. The solution always seems to be more taxes and less freedom.
Unintended consequences
It is a problem that exists, but it's a damn horrible solution to it
Doesn’t exist? Coral Reefs are actively being destroyed at an alarming rate… even back then it was happening. So the problem DOES exist. Just this solution was awful
I love the fact that the ocean spat up the tire waste on the beach a couple of times.
The best way to dispose of old tires is simply to recycle them. How hard is that?
@@jdos5643 The problem is that many types of plastic cannot be recycled
@armandoventura9043 One way ship to be sent towards the sun will solve that problem
nature was really like, f you, take these back
@@armandoventura9043well, tire rubber is not one of them
Dumping 2 mil tires into ocean to help fish is the type of shenanigans you would see in GTA parody world
Walter
yo Walter
The most famous RUclips bot is here.
It’s actually not an awful idea. Waste has been used as artificial reefs for decades. My state actually used a demolished bridge as an artificial reef and it’s been super successful.
Walter
Who could have possibly known that steel belts would rust away in saltwater?!
They knew. It just proves the entire purpose was never to help the wildlife. They had 2 million tires made of toxic chemicals they wanted to dump in the ocean and managed to convince the right people it would actually somehow help the environment.
salt water can't melt steel beams
@@jonessii7/11 is an inside job. Stay woke, bro!
@@jonessii Neither can thermite. * Cough Cough *
@jason you gotta remember this was the 1970’s these scientist and environmentalist had no idea that steel rusts away in saltwater or that the chemicals in the rubber would leach out into the ocean and destroy the environment. They’ve come a long way since then right!???? Smh
I struggle to believe that anyone with good intentions and a bit of knowledge actually thought this was a good idea. What an incredible epic scale disaster.
This is why we have RUclips. So we all can learn about stuff like this. I never heard about this before.
I find it very odd how this plan can be made with the very obvious (to me at least) issue of toxic pollutants inevitably leaking out of the tires and harming life in a wide area around them.
Right? I mean as soon as I heard they did it, my first thought was all of the chemicals used to make the tires leaching out into the water. I don't believe for a millisecond that nobody thought of this back then.
Nobody gave a damn back then, lead was literally pumping out of every engine. People just straight balling high on heavy metal.
we could find out in a few decades that antiperspirant (aluminum) is bad, or the plastics used today caused the same issues as the tires did, etc - in both cases, we've been using those items for decades and something may come to light in the future about it (in which case the generation then may say "why would they even do that")
The fish and wildlife didn't have lobbyists, it's disgusting what was done to them
People BARELY had toilets in the 60s..... They didn't have dump trucks for garbage MOST places.... People would bury paint cans in their yard for disposal.....
-These are the SAME people, who hold OFFICE today.
I can't be the only one that is pretty confident these big companies knew exactly how this was going to go and just didn't care. Because it was a way for them to get rid of their tires and look like they cared about the environment and then if something goes wrong they could just " blame the scientists"
I'm a native to the area, born and raised on these waters fishing and diving. I'm about 50 years old now and remember this well. I think the people responsible really thought this would work. It's not uncommon for crab and lobster fisherman to use tires to lure crabs and lobsters so they can use the tires as structure to hide from predators like sharks and eels. This also makes it easy to catch them and without having to "hunt" for them. They see a couple tires anchored securely for many years had become full of marine growth and did provide sanctuary from natural predators. But the people that decided to try and replicate this with millions of tires did NOT do the proper research and experiments to ensure it would work in that magnitude.
@@ScarabChris Thanks for your input, It's valuable.
I doubt they actually knew what was going to happen. I think it's far more likely they saw it as a win-win...get rid of tires, help the environment at the same time. But I do think their main incentive was to get rid of tires, hence why they didn't bother taking a cautious approach before dumping a ton of tires into the ocean. Probably looking for an excuse to get rid of tires in a cheap manner.
literally with used tires u can make sandals or other stuff to recycle them.... this was just a lazy solution
True.
I once knew someone who owned just a few acres of land, like 4-5. Problem was, the land was not useable for anything since it was mostly a giant ravine. None of it was flat. They filled in the ravine with thousands and thousands of tires, then tried burning them with a top layer of dirt. It was almost as good of an idea as making this reef. The EPA got involved. Semi loads of tires were hauled out. It took years of work to clean up.
Still can smell it burning😂
The Good Year blimp floating over head was a nice touch.
in what world does someone think to dump 2 million tires in an ocean to "help ecosystems"
In what world does making everyone drive electric cars help the ecosystem !
In a world where Goodyear and other tire companies donate millions to politicians.
@@Flea1959MarketJordans Thats a completely different point
@@sirxander5420 Its not, look up the cost of Lithium harvesting for the environment, as well as the increased power loads on local electrical distributers(many still use coal) for electric car charging.
@@LostShipMate Studies have shown that creating EVs are worse than gas cars straight out of the factory, but the impact they make during the long run is much less than gas cars. EVs = Worse in the short term, much better in the long term.
Growing up not far from a Goodyear tire factory, I could’ve told them as a child that this was a bad idea. The smell alone from that factory left no doubt about the toxicity of tires.
Dayton?
and yet, google still claim rubber bands to be not toxic.
you can know how dangerous something is just by the smell
We had brigestone tyre factory down the road and boy did it stink .
Fellow Akronite?
You know as well as anyone it was never about 'helping fish'. It was about cheap disposal of a drag on our Income Statement.
Someone got a big kick back approving this nightmare
There are tens if not hundreds of successful tyre reefs around the world.
This one failed because hurricane and pesticides from nearby factory.
My geuss is those tire reefs are very small. Rubber is considered toxix to life. A big difference between 4 million and 400 tires.
30 million dollars is a drop in the bucket compared to other things, for example expanding the New York Hudson yards park is going to cost 374 million. But removing this will prevent toxic chemicals and microplastics from leeching out into the water which is so much better for the environment than creating small artificial parkland in a giant city.
Or how about the 80 billion we clCanadians sent to Ukraine lol
I have really hard time believing that no one knew this would become a problem. It seems like an instinctively bad idea even without knowing exactly why.
Mix together idiocy, wishful thinking and greed.
But amazingly, bad decisions like this get made all the time.
That's democrats for you
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 Yup
Trust me they 100% knew the consequences but corporations don’t care they just wanna make money the cheapest way possible.
To me it just sounds like someone wanted to dump millions of tires into the ocean rather than recycle or landfill them.
Back then there weren’t really any recycling techniques for tires. They ended up mostly in landfills.
Recycle how?
Even today we can't really recycle tires.
@@GeorgeMonet pyrolysis.
@@GeorgeMonet just grind them into powder, you can remold anything rubber from it like, oh my god, tires...
@@GeorgeMonetthey use recycled tires in asphalt now too
We did the same in france, we put tires attached together by chains on the sea floor to try to create seaweed and other zone. It did not only failed, but now we're searching since decades for tires across mediterannea because the chains broke...
lol, it’s like the people who thought of this forgot all about basic chemistry
@@xxxBradTxxx if you think so
Humans are not the most advanced species after all.
"This'll be good for fish."
*Dumps two million tires into ocean*
They didn't think it was a good idea. They pretended they thought it was a good idea because they wanted rid of the tyres.
'Business' as usual
I'm your 100th liker here & bye.
They are just stupid
As simple as that
They 100% knew what they were doing
Where was Goodyear during the clean up??? No blimp, no equipment, no cash?
Wonder if they retrieved the golden tire 😂
@@mikecool4ever LOL. It's was probably just extremely toxic gold spray paint.
True. Someone should sue Goodyear.
It wasn't their idea. They simply supply a demand. Can't blame them.
@@bradsanders407 Yeah, but Goodyear has engineers and scientists working for them. They should have known that the tires would be toxic. It's like Elon Musk showing up to see Tesla cars getting dumped in the ocean and not saying anything to stop it.
Thank you for sharing this tragic story. It also encourages the question would an aquarium in the ocean for the ocean made of the plastic that has been floating in the ocean also be a bad idea?
"Artificial reef" sounds like a very convenient euphemism of "avoiding the consequences of industrialized transportation instead of going back to horses and carriages".
I worked in the tyre industry for years,( Kwik-fit UK ) and we used to charge people £1 per tyre for "green disposal" and when people asked where they went we happily explained "they are all chained together and placed in the sea to make artificial reefs to save wildlife" 🤦 Kwik fit made millions making people think the environment is being "saved" when it was the complete opposite... Just remember that people, it's still going on today with electric cars, it's a narrative being pushed for corporations to make money, in twenty years you will be looking at video's of lithium batteries in places they shouldn't be and that the mining for lithium and shale gas ruined the planet ...and they'll blame you, again, and charge you, again!
Any time a polluting industry gets involved in green initiatives you can bet it's not going to work.
Louder for the gullible twats in the back!
Did kiwk-fit genuinely do that?! When are we talking about roughly?
I only ever used them once for a tyre change. Gouged the hell out of my alloys, then claimed the damage was there prior.
Never went back again.
Hydrogen seems like the better car solution
Did you protest and quit? If not, you unfortanetly are equally to blame in going along with it. Anyone with half a brain would immediately see the disasterous stupidity here, unless they didn't give a shit about this planet.
How. How was this ever EVER thought to be a good idea? How did nobody think about any part of this? Literally anyone would say dumping tires in the ocean in any way would be a terrible idea
We see it's a bad idea because it's in hindsight. There were many ideas in history that have been done with good intentions that later proved to be disastrous.
Because Florida.
Am I right???
@@casualgamers3369 Still seems like a dumbass idea even back then.
Because all the people involved were dumb college hippies high on drugs.
@@joeschmoe7221 yes because Florida is the only place where stupid shit can happen, right?
This makes a grown man cry.
The same people who made the decision to dump these tires are the same people who run countries around the world. So proud of our government
Would love to hear about people coming forward about how people got rich doing this while knowingly destroying an ecosystem
Not just that all the trash went to ocean flooding waters with micro plastics but allso made someone just little bit more ritch
@@SuperKREPSINIS almost like that doc dark water or whatever it was called. You know people ignored some type of science and just went along with the paycheck
I dont think it was knowingly. Corals tend to grow on random stuff that we consider garbage in the ocean and that was the idea. But well looks like not a lot of study was made and now we are the ones who know that tires are bad for this purpose. They didnt know it and we only know it definitely doesnt work because they tried it and failed.
Coral is grown in metal structures now and then "replanted" (nailed lol) on the rest for restoration.
@@iandavidvillaloboswong5180 Nah it was just a cheap way to get rid of garbage, they did not even bother to test possible impacts on the eco sytem before dumping millions of tires. Thats not even negligent thats just plain stupid.
Artifical reefs are not created by throwing garbage into the ocean.
To create artificial reefs people use retired aircraft carriers, oil rigs, and even New York City subway cars. These vehicles are not simply sunk-careful attention is paid to the chemicals they may emit to the surrounding ocean and seabed. The structures are therefore decontaminated: all plastic and toxic materials are stripped from them. Which is a elaborate and expensive process.
@@SuperKREPSINIS we started to use microplastics, so we could slow down the destruction of forests around the world
I help the ecosystem near me by dumping my used motor oil in the local swan pond. They love it!
Covering themselves beak to feet in the stuff. I'll see what they all think to tires and car batteries next visit.

How anyone could think this was ever a good idea is beyond me
The intention behind the reef was to cheaply dispose of the waste by convincing enough people it was noble to dump hazardous rubber tires into the ocean. Lmfao
I like how mother nature throws back the tires back to the beach shore lines
Everyone that thought this was a good idea shouldn't be in a position of power. Ever.
funny how the same eco hippies you worship today came up with this idea in the first place and paid money to fund it.
thats not how it works lol
They should all have been forced to clean it up out of their own pockets.
They thought it was a good idea in the 70s. I'm 30 and it was only the late 90s people even gave a second thought on climate change. Science was there in the 80s, but no action was taken until later.
They must be all retired or dead by now anyway.
i live in the bahamas and forida is about 313 miles from us and i never heard or knew about this before, that goes to show what sounds and seems like a good idea may get out of hand
It’s interesting how no one knew what tires were made of back at this time and that the ingredients in them might be harmful to sea life. Yet they went ahead and dumped 2 million of them in a concentrated area.
Did no one think about what salt water does to steel? Or about what tires are made of, and what happens if it breaks down?
Then again, it was the 70s, when reduce, reuse, and recycle meant making crafts out of old egg cartons and empty juice concentrate cans. Hey kids! Let’s make stuff to decorate the house out of garbage! I think every house had at least one pencil holder made from an old juice can covered with a scrap of fabric or leftover wallpaper and a bit of trim.
Honestly! I don't understand acting as if people some decades in the past were too primitive to understand very observable, natural phenomenon and yet we had physicists, scientists and etc. that were aware of complicated subjects in the fields of astronomy, mathematics, physics and so forth in the ancient world with far less information and rudimentary instruments.
PS. Not a critique of your comment but a critique of the absolute dolts who decided dumping tires into the ocean was a good idea. 🙄
In 2010 California got busted for dumping tons and tons of garbage in the ocean and our sea lions have a particularly vicious form of cancer from the dumping of plastics which bind with molecules from the dumping of tens of thousands of barrels of poison from the past few decades. So, don't be so contemptuous of the 1970s. Remember, it was 1972 when DDT was banned.
The thing I store batteries in is literally a Mountain Dew can from 2015 covered in duct tape and I tore the top off with pliers for better access. That's been my battery storage for 8 years.
I don't feel a lot of thinking took place.
@@Mr.SisterFisster But I bet a lot of *_feelings_* of virtuous self-validation did take place. Not all that different from today.
Yes as a born and raised south Floridian who is almost 50 years old and has never lived outside of Miami or Ft Lauderdale and one that was raised on the water fishing and diving. This was not our states finest hour. I remember in the peak of my SCUBA diving days they were still dumping tires. I dove the tires once with my father and a few friends in the mid-late 1980's and even as a young kid I was like WTF??? I never wanted to dive it again. I was so glad they decided to begin cleanup efforts. They will never get all the tires out but they did make a good dent in the mess.
They accomplished almost nothing, removing not even 1/4th of the tires. And waaaaay too late, the whole area is polluted with toxins and microplastic from the tires is probably in every human living within 1000 miles of the dumpsite.
@@moos5221 tires don't produce microplastics, they're rubber, and the toxins are being actively dispersed in the insane volume of the ocean. It's an environmental catastrophe, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
This is a tiny issue compared to the nuclear bomb testing in the bikini island (google Bikini Atoll), and the suffer of the local people.
Thank you for truth, telling
Damn, just speechless 😕

Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
(2:136 / Translated by Community)

Yep. It is not just hindsight either.
I'm sure it was a good idea, financially, for those who approved to do this. A good idea for the environment, of course nobody thought that
How could they not know the tires would be toxic? We can't believe some of the experts didn't know ahead of time.
Because, much like today, it was heavily backed by government, corporations and media and “proven” by “science” (studies and research paid for by government, special interests that required those studies to have certain results).
Florida... say more
Ofc they knew, but experts who said it outloud would be fired. Companies just wanted to get rid of their waste.
they... knew(?)
Rubber isn't toxic, it just doesn't provide a habitat for coral etc. The claims made in this video are ridiculous fear mongering.
And we all thought we lived in a country full of geniuses.
Allllll...all the beauty...the rainforest...the tropical rainforest...
Whoever came up with the idea obviously had a lot of money and power
...and is a psychopath.
And tires…
A lot of money and power and tires, but not enough brain cells sadly.
The tyre guys knew exactly what would happen,it was a way to dump tyres!
True. I'm sure someone at Goodyear made a nice donation to the politicians who approved it.
Out of sight, out of mind...there's zero foresight.
Why do Aussies spell words wrong all the time
They did not do this to help the fish. This was just a way to get rid of garbage for free and tell the people it would be fine and good for the fish. They just didn't expect it to backfire on them.
It doesn't take a genius to know anything that's man-made thrown into the water is going to have consequences.
Oh damn I read the title and Immediately dumped every spare tire I had into the ocean to Help the fish. I should have watched the video before I dumped them.
Industry and Government at its finest.
Add WEF and the party will get started..
As a discarded tire, I can attest I did not receive the fish and coral environment I was promised.
Because you killed em
Did you mean rapist instead of tire?
You couldve held your ground instead of moving about like crazy killing them fishes and corals. Smh
@oldironsides4107 w..what? Why would you just randomly accuse some guy of being a rapist?? 😂
These types of comments are not funny nor can tires become animate.
I like the way the ocean was chucking them out!😂
The fact that such a massive scale project decided that using steel wire to bind the tires together, and not seeing how it would rust and break apart is almost unbelieveable, im an uneducated 23 yo dude, and even i would see that coming from a mile away, let alone get that dumb idea..
These are the bright minds that often lead a country. Nearly anyone could imagine what was going to happen, but they didn't care they had to solve the short-term problems of where to put the tires.
I dive here quite a lot and most of those remaining tires have been removed by a private commercial diving company via a contract from Broward County. I’m making a documentary about this disaster and a inventory from Broward who is using tire waste to in construction now. The tires they removed ended up being burned for fuel which is terrible.
Burning tires for fuel isn't bad when its done correctly, tires are shredded and ground up and shot into a natural gas furnace to add to the fuel for processes like concrete or electrical generation which takes a massive amount of energy. The rubber and steel burn cleanly and the exhaust gets run through stack scrubbers after that.
They should have implemented a "take two tires and add 2 extra bugs to your bag limit" strategy. They would have been gone in no time.
@@angrymadscientistexactly!! Volunteering and extra fishing tag’s… get Government out of everything!!!! Btw, rant of the day…. Government is a Fake word… its a lie… it’s a word people use to hide behind… Name names!!!! Who are the PEOPLE who approved this??? All the way down the line… from elected officials to corporate executives and charities… who all approved this and everything else!!!
I’m an environmental geologist. Unfortunately air quality standards are way lower than water quality standards. You would be surprised what’s released into the atmosphere.
@@erroneous6947 that's because anything that gets damaged in the rivers streams and oceans takes FOREVER to dissipate vs the air which dissipates within a significantly shorter time span. Water is highly reactive with other things.
Fish in the area: "I'm tired boss..."
Mankind often has no idea what he is doing. Despite his advancements he still makes egregious errors
this is like that episode of the simpsons with the l'il lisa recycling plant that makes slurry
Never underestimate man’s God given ability to think of something stupid, and act on it!
Mother Nature will punish us
@@loadeddiaper4216 Mother Nature needs to punish those who are in control and actually destroying the plant and environment. Not the innocent lives that have nothing to do with this
Never forget that our "best minds" are actually only this good.
The authorities who approved this absurd idea with little to no research, while the tire manufacturers said nothing, are definitely to blame for this and it should have been cleaned up.
The 70's: Passing clean air and water acts
Also the 70's: dumping 2 million tires in the ocean to "help" fish
LOL, it's the same in the 2000's. California passed environmental laws and then got busted for dumping tons and tons of garbage into the sea in 2010.
Also the 70's: spraying cancer inducing dioxin-filled herbicide over the entire country of Vietnam.
Also the 70's: Advertising cigarettes to children with Joe Camel and the Flintstones on TV.
Also the 70's: Cutting out pieces of people's brains and calling it a medical procedure (Lobotomy) to treat people with mental illness.
Also the 70's: Knowing that Asbestos is carcinogenic but putting it in everything anyway.
Also the 70's: Leaded gasoline.
Also the 70's: Open air atomic weapons testing.
Also the 70's: Nuclear meltdown at Three Mile Island who's safety inspector was the basis for Matt Groening's Homer Simpson.
Also the 70's: Smoking cigarettes EVERYWHERE, in resturants, in bars, in the office, on the bus, in the subway, on airplanes, etc.
And history is about to repeat itself.
@@SuperAnime4444someone is about to dump 2 million tires into the ocean?
@@bradsanders407 Environmentalists are about to push a stupid idea like getting rid of cows.
As a Florida native, it’s sad when Mother Nature has to start fixing a problem that we created.
Mother Nature is patient -- like any good mother -- but one of these days she's going to lose her temper ... and that will be the end of us.
I really want mom to hurry up. 🙁
We are a problem, and make no mistake - mother nature will one-day "fix" us...
Pretty sure no one wants to do anything about it. That’s the problem.
Native... What tribe are you from?
It's unbelievable. When they announced the plan to tie the tires together with a steel band, I immediately thought about the reaction of steel and salt water, which is rust. Nothing about this plan seems like a good idea. I find it hard to believe that no one spoke up and said that this was a terrible idea. It seems like someone just wanted to get rid of two million tires.
wow taking "Out of Sight Out of Mind" to a whole new level!!! I guess that's what happens tho when peace, love and harmony is mixed with a lot of drug use.
Humanity never ceases to amaze me. Not at all for the better, but that doesn't stop them.
I remember reading about that back then.
That eel looked happy
Way to go humans. The ocean is TIRED of us.
We screwed Mother Nature send the asteroid
"In the name of health"
Is often the biggest contribution to tragedy
You mean to tell me you had millions upon millions of used tires and you could t think of 1 thing to reuse them for except dump them into the ocean? Wtf is wrong with people.
You don’t even want to know what other countries are dumping in the oceans
0:34 you can recycle tires into artificial surface materials, such as asphalt. Asphalt itself is the most recycled material ever, with around 95% of the current one originating from a recycled previous one, but the remains that gets turned into dust, or gets washed away, those can be replaced by new material originating for example from car tires.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. More so now than ever.
As someone experienced with marine biology this sounds like a pretty good idea EXCEPT for checking for toxins and anchoring the tires.
Sounds like how every plan to help the environment turns out
That 70s plan worked out well 😅
Best idea since “balloon fest” 😂😂
I saw a video of that also 🤣🤣@@levismith7444
“Just dump it in the ocean”
-smartest person ever
"Environmentalists" ignored the fact that deteriorating tires and metal strings exude toxic chemicals.
This is nothing compared to all the plastic dumped in the oceans which is far, far greater in damage and still ongoing in nature.
As a diver I've seen professional dive sites building coral reefs out of plastic boxes (!) or thin metal rods that are rusting away and will let the whole structure collapse after a while. So this is no surprise to me.
Apparently people are still 'reef-building' with tires at the creek by my house. 🤣
How can you even think this was even feasible is beyond belief.
Imagine living in a city or suburban then suddenly bigger houses starts falling from the sky.
The first 10 seconds explains everything. Local Florida man decided to save the fish by throwing junk in the sea
I am glad people are trying to clean up the mess.
They absolutely knew this would happen.
fish tastes like gummy bears
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
My goodness the lack of foresight is more shocking than the actions of dumping the tires.
It looks very disturbing. Tires don't belong in the ocean. Crazy!
I heard dumping cars can help counteract this problem... about 3-4 million of them should do nicely...
Trust the "experts" folks, they can do no wrong.
5:15 I guess military divers took 100.000 $ for each tire 😂
Dumping toxic rubber trash in the ocean. What could possibly go wrong?
The utter disgust I have for these people with "noble intentions" is unfathomable. How can someone dump tons of tyres in the ocean and not take into consideration metal corrosion, ocean currents, rubber deterioration, micro plastics, oil contaminants in tyres and a thousand other variables? It's not like they were in the 1500's, it's the 70's, oceans were very well understood. They had easy access to information, there is no excuse for this, and yet, the legal battle is still on going... Humanity has failed.
Well My life may not be the very best environmentally friendly but at least I'm doing better than the environmentalists
Sure you are
@@bradsanders407 I believe he's referring to the environmentalist that had a part in deciding this was a good idea. They mentioned in the video that environmentalists agreed this was a good idea. The next question is what environmentalists were these, and who wrote their paychecks? But the video didn't address that.
