I looked it up. Took close to a year, but they recovered all the bodies, that’s impressive. 8mi offshore, 130’ down (give or take.)

That would be a ton of dives and divers on scuba. The no deco time on the table for 120 ft is 13 minutes. I would think the navy would use surface supplied salvage divers and a chamber on the boat for a long operation like this. But I do see reference to many agencies taking part in the recovery and using scuba. The view of the other diver is very brief, tough to get a look at his setup.
I’ve dove that depth in Jersey and you can get conditions like that, good vis and calm. It certainly seems bright for that depth. It’s been a long time but I know I have had it that bright but can’t recall ever having it that bright at 120. |

I worked with a man that was on that flight.
He was going to Europe with his new bride for their honeymoon. Real or fake, my heart sank as soon as I saw the first body in that video. Shit sucks.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MHowski: There is also the possibility it is real but not from TWA800. I looked at the channel. It's some dude's personal channel with some random Army and firefighter stuff. Most of the stuff seems to be somewhat related. No way to tell if the video is what it says it is. Old VHS can be faked, but it looks like the uploader probably found the video and uploaded it to his channel to save it for themself. |

Seems too bright for the depth of TWA 800 (ETA: Maybe not, looking at other footage of dives around that depth) but looks otherwise convincing. |

The front fell off. Literally. That had to be one of the scariest deaths imaginable. Looking down the isle and seeing sky where the cabin used to be. Just along for the ride straight down to sea level at that point.

I have no idea if that is TWA 800 or not but the exposure issue is not any indication of depth, I can easily make midnight look like noon and old video cameras were fairly adept at adjusting exposure. I've got photos from 100' down outside of the Singapore harbor in 5' visibility that are brighter than that video and I could barely see my fins if I looked down. Twirl aperture ring, make things brighter.
The moire in that video seems to indicate it is a video of a video: it's someone filming a screen. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tct1000: that looks fake as fuck. an intact skeleton after impact and decomposition? The plane broke apart and disintegrated into many larger pieces before impact resulting in many being thrown free along the debris field. As such IIRC, many bodies were recovered intact or at least mostly intact. It wasn't like it went in nose first at 500 knots. |
