- mirunit, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27I am assuming you are talking about american tax dollars, and you know what, that was NOT american. Also, what more freedoms do other countrys have compared to the United States, one that the US has over almost everybody is the right to bear arms.

It was a combination of soot from the ocean floor and possibly smoke from the chemicals used. However, without knowing exactly what was used that is just conjecture. - elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27Poor ignorant BrainInAJar, When will he learn.
First, Depth charges haven't been used to kill people in a while, as far as I know.
Second, as you can tell by the language, these were not Americans. - twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25Oddly enough, if it were MY tax dollars, I'd be pissed, because they sounded like they were speaking Chinese...
- Dested, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22@Brianpinard
Yes yes, we've all smoked from a bong before, we all know how smoke rises up through bubbles... - twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Unfortunately, they accidentally blew up the trans-atlantic sewer pipe. Shrimp 5 miles down are thrilled!
- falcon707, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15The part I find funny is that there has been 497 diggs on this story but according to youtube only 420 people have viewed the video...
- randomvictim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Any explosive expert want to clue us in on what all the black material flying out later was?
- HyruleanHero, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13That was actually just Chuck Norris resurfacing after a scuba dive.
but in all seriousness, how far away from the ship was that thing? There's not much depth perception, that thing Could have been been enormous. - chaosmachine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11youtube has multiple db servers, it takes them a while to sync up..
- arcrox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Another victory in the war against fish.

2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
a) freedom of conscience and religion;
b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

So, yeah... it's in our constitution and has been for over 20 years - Phaedruss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"Your tax dollars at work. murdering other people"
Yeah! Those merpeople never saw it coming! - jumba911, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Was that sand in that blast too?
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -2/+9I dunno, I thought this was crazier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQGxkfdhJAI&mode=related&search=
Though the original vid had a cool showave at first. - mt066, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Haha he's right. It doesn't say anything about this being the American Navy. The caption says the guy is from IRELAND. Wherever he's from, I'm pretty sure they speak English in the American Navy. Read a book, douchebag
- mky5439, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"Yeah! Those merpeople never saw it coming!"
Poor Poor Merpeople - mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5beelz, we have these things called "fonts." May I clarify, "normal fonts." People on the internet tend to like them, so if you would kindly use them.
Anyway, if you like seeing ***** blow up, check out "Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie." - JoeCool1986, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"merMAN!!!" :::cough cough:::
- rindin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The first time I watched it there were 476 views and then I showed it to me friend and there were 275 views.... Something's jacked on YouTube.
- HadBeans, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That's not a test...
It is the French navy depth charging a Greenpeace submarine. - behn1220, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Well...that is certainly one way of making tuna salad.
- hokkos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5What is said in french is frightening :
"Be careful for the Countdown from 10, 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0, fire
*****, the zodiac is inside ? so *****
...#?###?###...
try to contact them
...#?###?###..." - eskay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Yes, it was french.
- coldshuts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually, they have a France accent, wich is totally different from Quebec's.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3wtf, did they detonate that depth charge like a foot below the surface?
- olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Its actually the result of NaCo3 being combined with SO2 which results in a very dense gasues smoke.
- affanjam, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Thats some dirty water, funny when the mist was coming close to the ship the camera guy ran in side
- pronto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I want to see this in slowmo :D
- sebnukem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The "Chinese" people on the video are speaking French, without any accent.
- rindin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I threw a can of ether with an M80 tapped to it into a lake and it wasn't nearly as cool as this!
- loconet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I don't think the fish appreciated that :p
- BigDan34, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5He didn't rush in the boat to get cover...the guys on that boat speak french and one of them told him at the end to turn off the camera...pretty sure he was not autorised to film that...
- mikeman8905, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Am I the only one that notice that they weren't speaking english. It sounded more like french to me.
- PhairOh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What? You caught "whole" but you didn't catch "NUCLER"?
- ElFredo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Definitely not nuclear:
- They are too close from the explosion, and it's too small.
- It is too recent (given that this was taken by a camcorder), recent nuclear tests were made underground in the Mururoa Atoll.
- The consequences were unexpected: hearing the crew, a zodiac boat was on location.
Certainly a deep sea mine test gone bad. - p4r0l3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That uncle jimbo south park episode comes to mind.......
- deepdiggdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Many people have wondered how big this is. Well you can freeze frame at 0:28 and use a little perspective analysis. It works like this: The black smoke plume on the far right side intersects the horizon. The point at which this occurs is at the same height as the camera recording the event. We know that the camera is on a ship and we can see that this is not a huge vessel so it's likely about 25 feet above the water. Therefore the plume at that point intersecting the horizon is the same height. The width of the blast at the point is about 20 times that distance or around 500 feet across. The he tilt up to 45 degree angle and using that same interval it appears that the plume rises about 700 feet up. Now, anybody who knows geometry can tell you that a an object that has a known height (700 feet) is exactly the same distance away at its base when you sight the top at 45 degrees.
So, the ship is around 700 feet away from a blast that is 700 feet high and (at 0:28) 500 feet in diameter. - rindin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3From my experience with throwing fairly large explosives under water it would take something ridiculously large to cause a water spout that size.
I'd love to see one of those things blow up above water. - olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually the SNaCo3O2 is very poisonous and would have killed them if inhaled.
- ClassicJBC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What? Too soon?
/sarcasm
And come on, while insensitive, I find that akin to Chuck Norris jokes. He's saying Irwin's a megaton explosion of whoop-ass. - deepdiggdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Another convenient way to tell the distance is to note that the sound (traveling at 1000 feet per second at sea-level) arrives in just under a second.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I don't like that idea.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Gah, Digg won't let me edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/denial.html
"In Canada and Western Europe, Holocaust deniers have been successfully prosecuted under racial defamation or hate crimes laws. In the United States, however, the First Amendment guarantees the right of free speech, regardless of political content. Nonetheless, though the First Amendment guarantees Holocaust deniers the right to produce and distribute their propaganda, it in no way obligates newspapers or other media outlets to provide them with a forum for their views." I found this to be a fitting quote. - friend18, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That was awesome and then kind of freaky looking when the black dust,sand? started expanding out of the white.
- 0KonTroL0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The funniest part is the sound of the guy winding his disposable camera. lol....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm kinda used to seeing smoke rise...or atleast billow out, not quite fall back into the sea. Ultra dense smoke?
- sebnukem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's what I meant. No non-French accent.
