Gulf of Mexico (Full Episode) | Drain the Oceans

National Geographic

The one thing I always see wrong about documentaries about the asteroid strike that took out the dinosaurs is that they always show the strike with the land masses as they are today. With plate tectonics, the land was in a different arrangement 65M years ago than they are now. Most of that peninsula was under water with islands around it that eventually became Central America.

This is the type of stuff I love watching reminds me of sitting there when I was younger watching the older style episodes with my dad :).

"Drain the Oceans" is one of the most interesting series on YT. Very good!

[ThatsNotVeryFunnyLol]

This type of stuff is so fascinating to me. I can never wrap my head around how anyone is able to come up with so much information. The knowledge is insane. I love watching documentaries and gathering information on history and everything relatable, it will never get boring to me.

This artificial draining of the water is simply mind boggling!!!! It's fantastic!

[thegombergmap-dot-net]

Wow. Amazing show. I wasn't expecting anything this good.

Perhaps it should be pointed out, for the benefit of the gullible, that the gulf was not actually drained.

[CybertronGangsta]

Hats off to the crew who made this documentary. This is nothing short of spectacular. A great rendition and very well documented.

This is super cool. LiDAR and other tech is helping us write the correct history of us all!

Pirates took over New Orleans in the state of Louisiana and to this day Louisiana is still run by pirates

I remember being a kid when the deepwater horizon disaster happened, I remember crying while watching the newsfeeds.. The desperate attempts to stop and deal with the oil, the marine life suffocating and drowning in all the oil.. I'm from a Canadian oil town where we do land reclamation and never understood why they would even risk all this for the oil until I learnt about how much was there, and how valuable it was. I honestly feel like humans would been far more advanced now if we weren't so driven by greed.

One of my grand-uncles died in such a german U-Boat. Very interesting to hear what (might) have happened to him.

I'm a geophysicist in the making and this show makes me excited for my possible career paths

[absolutelyobsidious]

[jimamccracken]

Simply amazing what modern day technolgy can do.
I try to watch all of these videos in this series and I have reached a conclusion.
You can run but you wil be found sooner or later.
Thanks to National Geographic of which I have been a big fan for putting these videos together.

Look at that Shrimpy boi at 24:32 just living his best life

[unitedwestanddividedwefall]

It's amazing how technology can change how things USE to be
to how advanced it's become over the years, this documentary
just teaches how things have changed over centuries of time.

21:09 I remember swimming in the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston as a kid in the 1970s and early 1980s, and finding tar in my hair as well as black oily smudges on my bathing suit and skin. IOW, these oil spills have been occurring, but this one was unfortunately *massive.*

These 'Drain the Oceans' documentaries are the most fascinating I have ever seen. Award winning stuff!
