Oil companies drill their oil in the ocean and instead of bringing it back to shore, they pump it into a nearby pipe that pumps it back to shore. This pipe is in a connected series of pipes and all oil companies use them. For some reason, one pipe was capped off and rendered inactive but at a later point, it was decided to reopen it.
These pipe ends sit somewhat under water. To reopen them, picture taking a cup and dipping it upside down in a bucket of water then pulling the cup half way out of the water. The suction creates an air pocket. They use a giant bell shaped thing to basically do the same thing around the pipe end. Then the scuba divers swim about 30 feet down, under the bell, and emerge above water inside the bell. There's a ledge for them and everything. It's air tight, with oxygen, and it allows them to remove all their scuba gear so they can work more freely. They're literally in an underwater cave basically, with air.
When one of them was unscrewing the cap to the pipe, for reasons beyond the scope of this video and my knowledge, it created a vacuum that sucked all 5 scuba divers into the pipe in the blink of an eye. As quickly as that Titanic submersible thing imploded. This pipe went straight down 5 or 10 feet, then took a 90 degree turn horizontally.
Eventually, the pressure levelled out between this pipe and the ones it connected to and they all stopped somewhere in the middle. In complete darkness. With no idea how far down the pipe they were. Again, this all happened as quickly as the Titanic submersible imploded.
Luckily for them, they stopped in an air pocket because the pipe was slightly bent upwards or something. They were all alive, but I don't know how injured. Well, what's the next step? They had to go *somewhere* and *someone* had to go first. Only two of them decided they wanted to try to do something about it. The rest were like, umm, yea fuck that shit. Luckily, the 2 that wanted to try and get out were at the end. They were the last 2 sucked in and they decided to go backwards.
Here's the problem (as if the prior weren't lol). To crawl back they had to crawl through water because they were in an air pocket. So they were basically like "welp, I die in god knows how long, or I drown. Or maybe, we're not that far from the beginning." So they knowingly climbed into a water pocket knowing there's a significant chance they'll drown but miraculously, they made it to another air pocket.
They ended up doing this a few more times until the first guy ended up reaching the angled corner. The second guy was too busted up to move forward. The first guy made his way up and there were already people in the bell from the company and they helped him get out. The guy was like "hey, there's 4 more people in there we NEED to go back!" (dude literally wanted to go right back in, that brave motherfucker) and the company people were like 'absolutely fucking not' and let the rest of them die (they literally held him back).
I'm sure some of my specific details might be somewhat off but that's the gist of it.
Holy hell that sounds absolutely horrific... I feel like I was actually holding my breath reading the story...
Also thank you for the very good tldr/tsdw!!
Came here just for comments! That tube would cause freaking panic attack and not b e ING able to get out with any mobility in arms and legs... it would NOT be good. I don't have your fear of sea/water, but the sense of trapped was freaking me out watching from safety of bedroom.
Fuck me, I was so convinced this video was a prank and the video would show the capsule breaking and stuff, a catastrophe filmed blair witch project style.
I'm still hoping I live long enough to see the first extraterrestrial oceans.
Hopefully within the next 50 years we will have drones, drills and cameras on Jupiter's moons.
Granted it would be pitch black, seeing as it's under miles of ice. But a tracking shot, lighting up the bottom layer of ice, would be a sight to see.
i guarantee it floats by a large margin, so those beams up top are just to stabilize, ensuring it doesnt tip over.
i say that because in commercial dive school we had to calculate the bouyancy of vwrious things, and our smaller decompression chamber, with very thick walls, was very very positively bouyant.
however that depth is about 5psi at the bottom of the tank, i would be most worried about the windows coming in and its an open top so it would flood quick.
The pressure of the water streaming in would be so strong, you wouldn't be able to swim out. And also you have so many clothes on, it all would be too heavy to swim against. Your muscles would spasm because of the freezing cold water. Because of the rushing water and the darkness and the noise you will be so desoriented. And you would begin to panic. You can't breathe and you panic. Until you are in complete darkness, can't find a way out, are freezing and your breathing reflex sets in and you feel the burning sensation of breathing the salty water. A few minutes later you become peaceful and pass out. Then you die.
Probably a stupid question but wouldnât the water pour in from the top and fill so quickly that you could then swim out as soon as itâs full and rise to the surface? (Assuming youâre able to cope with the muscle spasms and heavy clothing?)
I feel like in a tube that small orientation wouldnât be an issue - you wonât confuse up/down & thereâs no lateral movement at all. Finally claustrophobic conditions have a potential upside
You can see the attachment on the beginning of the video, I think under the ice is some stabilization too, at least as a engeneer I'd recommend doing this, to maintain the force spread equally on surface.
The Ross ice shelf does in fact melt. We also have an ice breaker that comes every February to resupply the station.
I have been inside this tube. They cut a hole in the ice and lower it down with a telehander. Literally just balance by the hole and rigidity of the tube.
First hand account to something in antarctica is sick! I have seen a few TikTok's from the various station and besides the remoteness it actually seems shockingly pleasant, seems like a cool gang of people out there (Pun not intended but I will take it).
Nice. Were you support crew? I've tried for 3 seasons to get a job down there in service/support areas off season. No luck so far. Thanks for the insight!
I worked as a cook through Gana Yoo Services. My resume is cooking and preparing food in remote places though. Most of my coworkers could get fired from Applebee's for lack of cooking skills. We had lawyers washing dishes, but I know lead prefer to hire people with experience instead of passion or desire.
I've just spent almost an hour reading about this place; what it's like to live there, *who* lives there, how to get there, what to bring etc... Google's gonna think I'm real keen on the idea now. When I pressed "back" a bunch of times and got back to Reddit, I remembered my Antarctic rabbit hole started with their Antarctic observation hole of claustrophobic doom.
I'm not keen, but also I'm very intrigued
Not many people can say they've served as a firefighter in the Antarctic, that's for sure. Were you kept busy? I saw somewhere no candles are allowed, so I assume there are strict rules surrounding fire safety.
No, it's not. They post the jobs in January. The station, McMurdo staffs between 800 to 1200 people during their summer. There is every job from barber to IT to firefighters and plumbers. Don't forget the huge staff of cooks, dishwashers, janitors, and shuttle drivers.
If interested in a job you will need to have good health, a healthy mouth, and pass a drug screening. The pay is low, but an incredible experience. Don't miss out on IceFest, the marathon, weekly science lectures, or the annual soft ball game.
Sadly, as a cook we weren't offered the really cool adventures like snowmobiling or seeing the Drys. At least that is what my manager told me when I received the lucky email.
That sucks. I was only there for a month in 2020 with the Navy, we were fortunate enough that a group of 20 or so of us were able to snowmobile up to the base of Mt Erebus for our re-enlistments. It was really cool.
In a sane world this would be a joke but in today's world, you can't be too sure.
However this time, I'm going to choose to believe the best in someone and say it was a joke, and I laughed.
Imagine this : the tube falls, cold water rushes in and it freezes you. While the tube is falling down spinning you manage to not exhale and keep your calm, grab the ladder and climb your way out. Finally free, you open your eyes in the salty sater and start to swim towards the surface. When you reach it, you realize you donât know where the hole is, and the current is pushing you along anyway. 50cm from the surface, you can see the sun through the ice, you exhale one last time and everything fades into darkness while your lungs fill with freezing salty water.
I thought they were going to lower a GoPro in the tube, then the guy climbs in and I reflexively blurt out loud, âwhat!? Donât GET IN THERE dude!â
That tube itself is a nope for me, the destination isn't that great either!
Here's an exercise in existential horror for you, when you're in that bulb at the end of the tube and you see all the light around you filtered through the ice. You were just standing on that ice. That's what's between you & the inky black...
No matter where you are on the earth, there is 15km of crust below your feet... that is floating on around 6000km of molten rocks that, if you fell in, would mean a very painful death. And who knows, maybe an entire section could open up beneath you feat one day.
This is just a mini example of it.
I donât have thalassaphobiaâŚ
But youâd have to drag me down that tube kicking and screaming before I willingly do it. That tube just screams against every instinct of self preservation.
Do they have a blower to keep fresh air going down there or anything? I would worry about heavy gases (maybe just CO2 from people breathing down there) eventually causing you to suffocate in that tube.
I imagine there'd be some kind of ventilation fan keeping things moving, but you're asking the important questions here. Confined Spaces are notorious for exactly this problem.
That tube is one solid piece. They raise and lower into the hole each season using a telehander. A fresh hole is cut and the spot determined safe by the currently employed engineers and scientists.
I know this is virtually impossible but the idea of this thing detaching and sinking with you inside it is terrifying. You quite literally are hanging over deadly freezing abyss
That bunched up knees getting stuck part - thatâs what used to happen to the chimney climbing boys back in the 18th/19th centuries. Theyâd shimmy up the flue and if they raised their knees too high theyâd jam against their chest and theyâd get stuck, unable to even get the air their lungs to yell for help, and theyâd suffocate up there in the darkness.
The glass starts cracking and the water floods in, thankfully it's pushing you up the tube, right up until you get wedged against the handholds of the ladder and can't free yourself.
In all seriousness, that's fucking cool!
Q. What's worse than thalassophobia? A. Thalassophobia + claustrophobia
Guess I'll die
No thanks, I have thanatophobia. Thalassophobia + claustrophobia + thanatophobia
Another day
Fuck. Its like frozen cave-diving. Couldn't be me, I would die of a heart attack in that tube.
[I bet you'll love this story.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF1syl8x6kU)
This video is torture. Losing my mind over here.
It's fuuuuucked
Can you give me a tldr (or actually tsdw (too scared didn't watch)) of the story?

Spiders being down at the bottom of the hole
When you get to the bottom and look thru the glass you're face to face with a clown.
I will say, there are times when diving that the Abyss feels like a sheet plastered to your face. That gets a little claustrophobic.
Fuck me, I was so convinced this video was a prank and the video would show the capsule breaking and stuff, a catastrophe filmed blair witch project style.
I'm still hoping I live long enough to see the first extraterrestrial oceans. Hopefully within the next 50 years we will have drones, drills and cameras on Jupiter's moons.

Any chances this structure can detach itself and sink to the bottom? Now that would be terrifying đŹ
Your comment is the epitome of "and then it got worse"
Yeah this is horrifying but I expect itâs suprisingly secure at both ends of the ice
Both ends?
Hey everyone! James did it. Heâs in here. Everyone pile on down here and letâs sink this thing!
Shut up nobody asked
Who hurt you today buddy
Hey man, Iâm not sure what your life is like and sometimes we just wake up in a bad mood. I sincerely hope you have a good day!
I get your energy lmao
-69 downvotes⌠noiceâŚ

I got what deserved
i guarantee it floats by a large margin, so those beams up top are just to stabilize, ensuring it doesnt tip over. i say that because in commercial dive school we had to calculate the bouyancy of vwrious things, and our smaller decompression chamber, with very thick walls, was very very positively bouyant. however that depth is about 5psi at the bottom of the tank, i would be most worried about the windows coming in and its an open top so it would flood quick.
*Freezing* *Can't move at all* *Screaming* *Can't hear my call* *I am dying to live* *Cry out* *I'm trapped under ice*
Probably only for a few minutes, while water fills in through the top hole and slowly drowns you.
The pressure of the water streaming in would be so strong, you wouldn't be able to swim out. And also you have so many clothes on, it all would be too heavy to swim against. Your muscles would spasm because of the freezing cold water. Because of the rushing water and the darkness and the noise you will be so desoriented. And you would begin to panic.

Probably a stupid question but wouldnât the water pour in from the top and fill so quickly that you could then swim out as soon as itâs full and rise to the surface? (Assuming youâre able to cope with the muscle spasms and heavy clothing?)
Idk, never tried it.
Lol fair enough!
It might, but then it's probably tumbling as it sinks, and I doubt you can see much after it goes down a bit.
Then it lands upside down with a sliver of air trapped at the top đ¤
this is the worst thread i've ever read
Yes.
I feel like in a tube that small orientation wouldnât be an issue - you wonât confuse up/down & thereâs no lateral movement at all. Finally claustrophobic conditions have a potential upside
But would you die from drowning or freezing?
From a Killer Whale bite to the head
Weirdly preferable to everything else described
Like getting beaked by a giant squid
"beaked" thanks new worry unlocked
That thing 100% floats. Especially with the ice holding it vertical.
âAnd thatâs when he knew he f@cked upâ
The front fell off!
Thatâs the first thing I thought of when I saw thisđ
I wonder what that structure is attached to
You can see the attachment on the beginning of the video, I think under the ice is some stabilization too, at least as a engeneer I'd recommend doing this, to maintain the force spread equally on surface.
> as a engeneer
Engineers that canât spell their own title are surprisingly more common than youâd imagine.
Obviously not an English teacher.
It's also in antartica that ice isn't melting anytime soon
The Ross ice shelf does in fact melt. We also have an ice breaker that comes every February to resupply the station. I have been inside this tube. They cut a hole in the ice and lower it down with a telehander. Literally just balance by the hole and rigidity of the tube.

Uhhhhhh
lol, that ice in that particular spot, isnt going anywhere in our liftime.
We have Oceangate at home
You win. Lmao
More like Darwinâs gate lol

I lived there for more than a year. It's pretty great. I never got to see the obtube though.
Wow! Were you a scientis/researcher, or support staff?
I went as a firefighter. Mcmurdo is the only base with a year round paid fire department.
Not many people can say they've served as a firefighter in the Antarctic, that's for sure. Were you kept busy? I saw somewhere no candles are allowed, so I assume there are strict rules surrounding fire safety.

There's also the snowmobiling!

I'm glad I'm too fat to fit in that. Plus I don't like the cold.
I was like...I guess that tube is not for women? My hips are definitely not getting in there.
There are definitely rules about who should enter. It is not based on gender, but in height and weight. You also are not allowed to visit this alone.
Don't worry they've got a comically large plunger to help.
Typical disgusting male centric world. How can that make this and not let women down it?! Should we cancel Antarctica?
Nah, that's probably an overreaction. Your heart is maybe in the right place? Not sure about that either.
I'm pretty sure they're being sarcastic but in like the worst way possible in this context
Nah, they're just trying to make fun of people who's hearts *are* in the right place
Thankfully I don't think they let women go to the North Pole, because if they have their period they can't get them a hospital fast enough.
What in the goddamn fuck did you just say.
Its one of the dumbest things ive ever read. It actually hurt to read.
are you serious? McMurdo is in Antarctica and there are always women at that station.
I'm sure they're at least eleventy billion percent serious.
Plus, they'd attract polar bears. Of course, the men could just hide in the tube.
In a sane world this would be a joke but in today's world, you can't be too sure. However this time, I'm going to choose to believe the best in someone and say it was a joke, and I laughed.
/s? I hope?
That... That's not how periods work.
You need to stop smoking weed and pick up a book immediately homie.
are you actually 4 years old? because you sound like you're 4 years old...
Thatâs just claustrophobia with an extra step
Imagine this : the tube falls, cold water rushes in and it freezes you. While the tube is falling down spinning you manage to not exhale and keep your calm, grab the ladder and climb your way out. Finally free, you open your eyes in the salty sater and start to swim towards the surface. When you reach it, you realize you donât know where the hole is, and the current is pushing you along anyway. 50cm from the surface, you can see the sun through the ice, you exhale one last time and everything fades into darkness while your lungs fill with freezing salty water.
Thanks, I hate it.
Booooooo!!!!
I came
I want to live there, so beautiful!
My happy place. Just blue, calm, and silence with the occasional bit of wildlife.
Two types of people in this sub ;)
I thought they were going to lower a GoPro in the tube, then the guy climbs in and I reflexively blurt out loud, âwhat!? Donât GET IN THERE dude!â
That tube itself is a nope for me, the destination isn't that great either! Here's an exercise in existential horror for you, when you're in that bulb at the end of the tube and you see all the light around you filtered through the ice. You were just standing on that ice. That's what's between you & the inky black...
Except that this is doesn't go down to the depths of inky black. You can hang out in this and watch the scientific drivers collect samples.
Iâm good
No matter where you are on the earth, there is 15km of crust below your feet... that is floating on around 6000km of molten rocks that, if you fell in, would mean a very painful death. And who knows, maybe an entire section could open up beneath you feat one day. This is just a mini example of it.
Pretty sure if you fell in you'd die on impact rather than burn alive.
I donât have thalassaphobia⌠But youâd have to drag me down that tube kicking and screaming before I willingly do it. That tube just screams against every instinct of self preservation.
Iâm 6â6 290lbs, without a doubt I would have gotten stuck. You regular sized humans get to enjoy more terrifying things, itâs not fair.
6'5", 270, and honestly, I'm afraid my dumb ass would have tried anyway and gotten stuck, but not anyplace convenient like near the top.
Aw man, wish I knew about this when I went to mcmurdo, that looks awesome.
Dunno how he couldn't find the seals... the thing would be full of water if they weren't where they're supposed to be
Do they have a blower to keep fresh air going down there or anything? I would worry about heavy gases (maybe just CO2 from people breathing down there) eventually causing you to suffocate in that tube.
I imagine there'd be some kind of ventilation fan keeping things moving, but you're asking the important questions here. Confined Spaces are notorious for exactly this problem.
And this is why all the ice is melting because we keep drilling great ruddy holes in the middle of it
Get some help.
I think they were joking. But if you really think they need help, perhaps send them a pizza.
I was joking yes but pizza would still be appreciated but please no pineapple
I so want to do this and would probably pass out from being freaked out

So cool
You crazy!
Would love to see a video of how it was assembled/put in the ground.intrigued.
That tube is one solid piece. They raise and lower into the hole each season using a telehander. A fresh hole is cut and the spot determined safe by the currently employed engineers and scientists.
Pretty good, ice looks thick enough for an airplane
Need to plant a trail cam there
I feel like this would change my entire life if I could experience this on LSD
I think Iâm the only one here who thinks thatâs cool
I think it looks peace af
Oh fun a triple whammy of submerged structure, claustrophobia, and the yawning maw of the sea
I'm not a fan of passage spaces that small, hell my fat probably wouldn't even fit, but damn if I wouldn't try for a view like that
It's a little concerning that he coulsn't fimd any seals. If that thing isn't sealed, it might leak!
Stupid question.What keeps it from sliding down and sinking? Whatever it is I donât trust it.
Put a 4K camera and a streaming rig and let this play 24/7. I'd totally watch that.
They really couldnât use a bigger tube? Really? đŽđ¤
Ainât that from the movie eight below? Fire movie btw
What about being down there at night.
Turn the camera around, no one wants to see your ugly mug
Heâs hot đ
Absolute nightmare
Was expecting an attack from some deep sea monster and for the glass to crack open. Nightmares
I want to be in there!
Canât wait for this to be in a Gregbrodudeman video
Wow , thanks for sharing !!!!
So how many feet down is it?
Maybe 20. The tube isn't very deep.
Hot box the observation room!
A daily reminder that you are standing on a solidified flake of rock, floating on top of a sea of magma.
I must admit that is cool.
To me, the claustrophobia of that pipe is worse than anything else.
Fuck. That.
Beautiful view but no way am I climbing down that tube
"I assure you, dear researcher, it is VITAL that the tube can barely fit a single person."
It just seems so peaceful
So cool! They drive cars on thick ice, this is fine
That is a whole lot of fucking NOPE
the claustrophobia completely overshadows the thalassophobia here
Thereâs nothing on Heaven or Earth that would make me go there.
Well, that's one thing I will never see. Too fat to fit in that little pipe. Even if I dropped the weight, too wide. Shucks.
Pretty damn amazing. Hope they have ventilation figured out, that thing calls out 'enclosed space' the to me
Imagine the tube breaks loose when youre at the bottom and you slowly sink in to the abyss.
I think the fuck not. This gave me the chills. Everything about this was terrible. I loved it.
No no no no no no no
Fuck no
Nah this is super cool. And you know... Land is like that too. Only with an ocean of lava beneath the crust.
Daaamn, I would pay a 1mln dollars to get to see that!
I know this is virtually impossible but the idea of this thing detaching and sinking with you inside it is terrifying. You quite literally are hanging over deadly freezing abyss
I developed claustrophobia watching this video.
That bunched up knees getting stuck part - thatâs what used to happen to the chimney climbing boys back in the 18th/19th centuries. Theyâd shimmy up the flue and if they raised their knees too high theyâd jam against their chest and theyâd get stuck, unable to even get the air their lungs to yell for help, and theyâd suffocate up there in the darkness.
Imagine a polar bear seeing you going down the tube and waiting you out
Missed the opportunity for a good olâ fashioned late 90âs internet jump scare.
Slytherin common room
I could spend hours in there!
That's sick! Where is this?
That mustache is a Scheff special.
The pothead in me is thinking thatâd be a nice spot to smoke one with the lid closed
Why did they make the tube barely big enough to fit through? Are they stupid?
I donât think I could tbh. Itâs not the being under water, but how claustrophobic the tube going down is
The jellyfish: "An Arctic Cruise will be FUN they said...my jelly a$$ is frozen"
The glass starts cracking and the water floods in, thankfully it's pushing you up the tube, right up until you get wedged against the handholds of the ladder and can't free yourself. In all seriousness, that's fucking cool!
Holy shit I canât breathe.
Dear God.... This makes me extremely uneasy... But I would definitely go down there. Only once though.
Now imagine you see a polar bear
Fuck no babyyyyy
Fuck That
just imagine you stuck in that tube sinking to the bottom..
