I want to aknowledge the numerous viewer emails, thanking me for making this knowledge public. A lot of viewers appreciate the simple way I explain concepts, using everyday things that they can relate to. You're all welcome!

How to raise the Titanic from the bottom of the ocean (well, the front part anyway). Note: I'm using Titanic as an example for the concept, only b/c it is so well known. And this idea is already being utilized on a smaller scale, so those who say it won't work are either uninformed or refuse to accept the truth. I would prefer to have video responses to see what you've all come up with concerning your own ideas on this. This idea might also be used as an emergency solution to a ship taking on water. Floatation devices could be inflated all throughout a ship to keep it afloat. Let's work together, make this work, and save lives please.

  • Honestly my friend. The world is a technical place. You really didn't expect the world to hold you up on their shoulders and say "Why didn't we think of this" now did you? I'm not even sure why you sent me back such a responce. I didn't attempt to tear you down. You proposal did that for me.

  • First, you insult my intelligence.. then you deny doing it... What are you thinking?? And yes I do expect some people to help me... especially since I'm from the future! I have knowledge that can help you people now... All of you should take advantage of it while you can. You should be studying my videos and comments to learn from me... and ask me questions... Why is that so hard for you arrogant humans to understand?

  • Yes my friend. The logic is sound but real life is always a bit harder. Lifting bags have been used to bring many objects up to the surface but it is a delicate process because each bag must be matched in pressure to the others. If a single bag were to be used it would have to be positioned midship and the stresses would be too great in most cases. A vessel on the bottom can be a very fragile object. Once again. Nice theory.

  • I assumed that since I stated in my video that numerous floatation devices would have to be used throughout the ship that you would have understood that it still applied to my last comment. I keep expecting people to make intellectual leaps that they just seem incapable of making... My mistake. I apologize for expecting too much from you all in this time period...

  • The Titanic holds special meaning to me. I will be leading an expedition to the site where she sank next year. Your idea is not without merit but there are several problems. The hull would never withstand the brutal force of being raised and to inflate anything that deep would require incredible air pressure due to the fact that the water pressure down there is 6000 pounds per square inch. I like your thinking though. It just would not work under actual real world conditions.

  • Secondly, in the future they actually use purified water, which is then electrolysized at the level of the sunken vessel, and finally oxygen is allowed to flow up into a container that resembles the shape of a parachute in order to create lift of the vessel to the surface. Unfortunately I didnt have enough time to include info like this on the video... had to give only the basic idea within 10 minutes time.

  • Iv been studying the titanic a long time now but this this! is the best video Iv ever

    seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It is sad that the Titanic broke up. Some people told that the Titanic was too strong, and they said a explosion occured in boiler rooms 6 and 7.

    We should raise the Titanic and Britannic fast. The Titanic is nearly collapsing the last ten years.

see all

  • U have a good idea but when the ship hit the bodom the bow broke by the super struckture and the ship is geting really weak and u got to think about the pepole who died that's their grave but good idea

  • You forgot one little detail...THE BOW IS OVER 160 FEET UNDER SAND!

  • argh, the titanic IS TOO WEAK! ITS RUSTY man. each time you try, it will snap.!!!

  • He stupid ass! If you're from the future...then you have the ability to go back farther than 2007 to save the fuckin' ship from sinking! Take your meds future boy.

  • ship, it also might destroy it because right now its almost perfectly preserved in the ocean.. there are still dolls and painting where the only thing wrong is coral growing on it. also its great for ocean life.. people around the world are sinking old ships to create homes and bases for new corral reefs ..the tittanic is already one so by taking it up they would greatly impact the ecosystem surrounding it

  • They could pull it out of the water.. they have all the equipment to. It's not a question of if they can it's whether its right or not. Most people think that taking it up would be disrespectful to the people resting peacfully after their death on the

  • @CODEyREDding you mean 12,500 feet of mud.

  • A similar plan to yours was proposed when it sank which involved ping pong balls (believe it or not!). The problem is however, Titanic is 12,500 feet below the surface of the water. Due to the immense pressure, the raft will just burst. Using hard containers to withstand the pressure can be extremely expensive.

    Secondly, the ship is being eaten away by a bacteria (200 lbs a day!) it has many holes and structure is so weak that even if we lift it, it will break it many more pieces and fall again

  • ok i beleive it should be raised not to be disrespectful but just because it is breaking apart way too much if we dont raise it soon its going to be basically copletely gone

    BUT COME ON IF THIS WOULD WORK THEY WOULD OF ALREADY DONE IT
