This is the first time I've seen the actual wreck up close. If I'm not mistaken, they deemed it an actual gravesite to where no bodies were to be tampered with or going inside the wreck itself, that is divers themselves. I guess it's out of respect for the crew members and families. Very understandable.
The ship is a grave site. They can't salvage it. Even if everyone survived, they wouldn't be able to salvage it. It's embedded into the ground, and it's under 500 ft of water. It's impossible.
@DevynYoshi How are you to know wether or not I possess a doctorate degree? I could be a scientist, a doctor.... or one of our service men (or woman) for all you know. Only a pretentious fucktard would consider swearing ignorant. Get a clue fuckass.
I would have to believe that that wheelhouse was full when this happened. Im sure that the mates were all present, the wheelman and the captain too. I mean its a cold ass feeling on one of these ships in a storm, and the memory of the Fitzgerald is the reason why... God damn.
As an officer on a ship thats older than the Fitz on the Great Lakes... this is seriously bone chilling stuff. Good god those poor guys... It must.... MUST have been a violent end.

There's a ghost in the left window in the first 25 seconds

I saw it, too. You see it, then when the camera shifts, it's gone. The apparition is also slightly transparent, and probably a residual haunt.

Same for me. Really exciting stuff, being a ship buff. And very important that we get this footage out to the public.
