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 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.
The answer is simple. They make it up.
The knowledge has been built up by hundreds, if not thousands, of separate individuals over the span of multiple generations. Some contribute more than others but, ultimately, it’s a group effort (like 99.9% of human breakthroughs/achievements).

"Drain the Oceans" is one of the most interesting series on YT. Very good!
It's a really neat production idea, and all the water withdrawing graphics are really welll done, too.
@@TheDavidlloydjones I agree, friend, as well as the graphics of items on the ocean floor. Thanks for your reply.
I'm a geophysicist in the making and this show makes me excited for my possible career paths
I'm a scientist too. A biologist. An unemployed biologist.
If you are a biologist then please help me in some topics of biological
This artificial draining of the water is simply mind boggling!!!! It's fantastic!
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.
I think we are from the same oil town! I was horrified too!
There were speculations that parent company BP ordered its' supervisors to cut operating costs by 25%. As a result safety implementations were bypassed or neglected to meet this parent company directive. Halliburton who was in charge of the cementing and texture at the bottom of the well casing did not disclose defects in the cement being used which was perhaps the primary reason the crude was not contained ?
My grandfather was a survivor of the Robert E. And his family still lives in New Orleans today.
Wow !! That's fascinating too! God bless him.
wow!
Hats off to the crew who made this documentary. This is nothing short of spectacular. A great rendition and very well documented.
Guess you were not a fully developed adult when this happened... Not a great rendition, unless you like propaganda - research the court cases against British Petroleum (Found guilty on may counts)
This is a national geographic episode
It's a series called "drain the ocean"
A very well presented pack of Lies, and mis-information. God made the earth and our solar system about 6000 years ago, and all the earth's layers of rock, mountains, oceans, were all made about 4600 years ago from the worldwide flood event. Yes, an Asteroid mage the Gulf of Mexico, and expelled all that dirt north creating the Himalayas and so forth, and other oceans. It also created continents, and Islands which didn't exist prior to the flood, as the Asteroid's impact caused earthquakes and volcanoes. The Earth was transformed as this receding process caused the sloshing back and forth of the waters covering the earth, which laid down layers of silt and dead animals, which we see all around the world today in the layers of rock and in fossils.
@@davearbogast2882 Thank you ! 😁
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 :).
Wow. Amazing show. I wasn't expecting anything this good.
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.
Technology cannot change anything that USED TO BE. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Our knowledge of science can only change our perspective of things. Actual history doesn't change because of technology. Christ.
One of my grand-uncles died in such a german U-Boat. Very interesting to hear what (might) have happened to him.
Perhaps it should be pointed out, for the benefit of the gullible, that the gulf was not actually drained.
😂
That’s what I was thinking also. Ty
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@sleepingbeauty9842 👍🤣
Oh duh! Thanks for telling me, I was wondering where they put all the water and silt? Now I can sleep; thanks to you.
This is super cool. LiDAR and other tech is helping us write the correct history of us all!
I Pray all documentaries could evolve to these levels. Beautiful!!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I looked this up and found the Drain the Oceans series was produced in 2018. This just goes to show you that nobody can produce documentaries like National Geographic. I wish they would simply cut out some of their cheaper programming and just stick with these super high quality docs. This reminds me of the great National Geographic documentaries I was raised on in the 60s and 70s. I encourage Nat Geo to do more like this and cut out all the trash programming.
That trash programming pays the bills while very expensive high quality docs are being made.
Ken Burns and David Attenborough do alright, I'd venture to say.
During the 60s and 70s we had wonderful documentaries on The Learning Channel. Cosmos was one of these. I can remember being so awed and it was family TV time for us.
@@andes805 The Learning Channel didn't arrive until 1980.
Yeah and try to follow real history and not their made up left wing politics.
Myron Cook did a video about the topographical features of the Gulf, especially between Texas and Florida. There are so many pockmarks between 5k and 8k feet below sea level, so my thought isn't a single asteroid, but multiples over time. That said, it's absolutely possible that the asteroid in question broke up in the atmosphere and peppered the entire region, including land, generating more particulates than a single strike.
It will happen again.
A recent article in Sci Tech Daily suggests that more than one asteroid hit the earth due to a dicovery of a 5 mile wide crater impact in the north Atlantic that also dates back to the same time, 66 mya, as the Chicxulub crater impact. Look it up. Fascinating and terrifying.
Or that they are from fragments of the same meteor.
@@Atlas2040 very plausible.
Wormwood...
My father and a friend were cast net fishing on the gulf beach side of the gulf and the found two dead German sailors on the beach, since the coast guard station was just down the beach the reported what the had found. They were asked to Lea be of course. Later we heard that a submarine had been fired on. Lived in the area and were scared.
Yikes
Wow. 😮
… how did they identify those men to be German sailors?…
@@joetoe9947 probably their mustaches.
@@richardgardin5367 … probably not…
Love the history provided from National Geographic! So amazing!!
The picture quality is so awesome, it's like I am there
Much of that picture was computer generated from a few pictures taken by the ROV.
These 'Drain the Oceans' documentaries are the most fascinating I have ever seen. Award winning stuff!
Pirates took over New Orleans in the state of Louisiana and to this day Louisiana is still run by pirates
Seeing all those oil pipes laid out on the ocean floor really is something to behold,its amazing really that the whole area is oil flooded with mishaps,yet they hold up mainly,great watch cheers.
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.*
I live very close to the gulf of Mexico and the beaches nearest me are still filthy from the spill. Nothing but tarballs and black sand in some areas. It's sad to me, but there isn't much I can do 😔
Actually more oil seeps out each year than was leaked out from the oil rig disaster
I remember the tarballs at Holly Beach in Louisiana in the early 80s
@@RustyNeverSleepz ah. It's been this way for quite some time I see 😔 😖
There's a place off the coast of Mississippi and Louisiana is a area called the grave yard where there's a large concentration of dead oil rigs. Most ships avoid going thru there because a lot of those rigs are falling apart and are not visible above water.
This is my favourite show. Thanks for full episodes. 🙏
Anytime bud! Anytime.
This was the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life!
I’ve been looking for a documentary Just like this on the gulf !! Finally someone did this
Lots of respect for the efforts and courage of the archeologists....👏👏👏
you just believe this because they say so???hahah you probably got the vax
Courage? They must be heroes.
very true!
interesting history.i worked on a jack up oil rig back in 1996.although i could see the wellheads at night i never knew there were so many .new orleans certainly has a rich history and i always enjoyed going there.
What a great concept and execution. Thanks for this! I was searching to see what it might look like for the gulf to be drained, and well, we went quite a ways into seeing what that might look like!
Look at that Shrimpy boi at 24:32 just living his best life
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I love when technology is able to solve mysteries like this.
I just watched it too was lots of fun!
Thank goodness for KZhead premium
@@PraveenSriram Amen.
All I can say is "WOW!" This Gulf of Mexico area, now seen with the ocean water pulled back, is one of the most important locations in Earth's history. I learned so much, and I am so impressed with the science and know-how that is revealed here. BRAVO! 😲👏👏🌎🌊🌊🌊🦕🦖💥
Some people would believe anything... 😂
Ain't that the truth !
Finally, a video from National Geographic, this looks like a real good video, so far I have learned alot about various events around the world.
I lived in Key West for 20 years and when the gulf spill happened I had nightmares about waking up with the entire marina swamped in oil. We were in zone A, the worst place to be with the flow of the currents. Day after day I would go out on the deck of the houseboat afraid to look at the water. Strangely, we never saw a drop of oil (shrugs). In general, the Gulf of Mexico played a big part in our lives in the keys. The only hurricanes we ever kept an eye on were ones that went into the gulf because all other paths were not a threat. If hurricanes were a real problem, those little islands would have been wiped out long ago but the big trees remain standing and I only saw one bad flood in 20 years. Came from Wilma after she strengthened in the gulf, and then surprised us by going in reverse and hitting the opposite side of the island which rarely happens.
It all washed up to us, on the gulf coast of Mississippi and Louisiana. Oil you wouldn't believe giant tar balls as well on the sand. It doesn't make sense it would go down there. Being how close it was to the coast of Ms/La the water gets pushed to shore from there towards us. Also the the tropical Jetstream pushes gulf moisture up into the united States that's what fuels all the rain storms for the country. I was in line to sign up for the clean up but after hours of waiting im glad I left. They didn't give the clean up workers safety gear. And there are major lawsuits for health issues and cancers from the clean up. BP screwed everyone they could then and now.
Follow the gulf current.
Amazing!
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.
I am from Pensacola but I am learning new things about the gulf shores.
I remember the Horizon disaster. I know people died, I know people lost their jobs. But I sorrowed at the death of animals and fish, destroyed by human stupidity and greed.
😢
Big oil Corporation's greed has no limit. Death of animal is their last worry on earth.
@bowlampar, so-called "big oil" provides us with plastics; fertilizers; pesticides; pharmaceuticals; gasoline for cars and emergency generators; propane; diesel fuel for trucks, trains, ships, and electrical power stations; aviation fuel for planes; lubrication oils; solvents; glues; synthetic rubber for tires and weatherproofing; asphalt; and paints, among other commodities. Practically everything we use or consume in daily life was either derived from oil, natural gas, or has some oil-derived component. For example, cell phones, computers and appliances contain parts made from crude oil. Modern car bodies and interiors are mostly made from crude oil; all industrial machinery and means of transportation need lubrication; and the world would have a difficult time feeding everyone without oil-derived pesticides and fertilizers. I should also mention that the electrical power needed to charge electric cars is derived mostly from traditional (and long-lasting) power-stations "fueled" by oil, gas, nuclear and water (from dams.) Power derived from solar is negligible, and the the disposal of solar power equipment (windmills, solar panels, and so forth) is an environmental disaster waiting to happen. Burning wood chips is an environmental disaster in itself; and so is the mining, manufacture, and disposal of the materials needed for the huge batteries found in electric cars. The bottom line is, the traditional sources of power generation -- oil, gas, coal, nuclear, and hydro-electric are far more environmental friendly in the long run than solar, and will remain so until dramatically different solar generation processes are invented. Many decades ago, I took two college courses in air pollution engineering when air pollution control was in a rather primitive state. The technology has now advanced to the point that burning coal is a rather clean process when compared to its emissions prior to President Nixon signing the Clean Air Act into law in 1970. The largest atmospheric release, by far, is CO2, which plants thrive on. Ask any greenhouse operator. Dan
Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍
My dad's rig was the sister rig that followed New Horizon's around, he was 3 miles from it when it happened, the executives were on that rig, told the mechanics what to do and they messed up the cement mixture, if those executives had not been there pressuring those men to do something they do they shouldn't have done it would've never happened
Thank you!!!
i live 90 miles inland from the gulf, bp oil spill was about the same distance out in the gulf, when i went out early i could smell the oil in the air
Amazing.....thank you very much. I'm better informed after viewing your presentation.
Amazing documentation ✌️ i also like this episode
Very interesting. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
Wow, insane docu. ! Ty ! superb !👍👍
National Geographic never disappoints !
Simply amazing 👏🏾 is all I can say 💯🙌🏾🎊
Hello how are you ?
I live where the Gulf of Mexico use to be, I find sea fossils all the time. The water where I live is hard from lime in the water. Middle of Texas.
The oilfields found now on land were, at one time at least, underwater.
Props to the crew for relocating all the fish and running all those pumps.
Very powerful Documentary!!! Draining the oceans is one entertaining doc from Nat Geo. Very Nice indeed.The narration is just the Bomb. Thanks!!
Awesome and informative video. I also realize the gulf really wasn't drained but I'm also 62 years old and am not that gullible. 😄
Brilliant ❤thank you
Congratulations on your episodes about Drain the Oceans, including the Pacific and Golf of Mexico of course!!!
**gulf
Now watching From mizoram 👍🏿💞💞
Love the history provided from National Geographic
Their Version of History !
I grew up south of New oeans and have heard alot of these stories
Grew up on the gulf. Beautiful place
Impressive documentary. Draining the ocean is one of a kind technology that helps us understand more about history and archaeology.
For some reasons, i wanted to drain the Pacific Ocean
@@vinceerwenanza242 go on
21:22 shouldn’t it be called the worst environmental disaster to hit the gulf since the comet?
we all must drink every time he says 'drain' 🤣 aside from the jokes, I really enjoy these documentaries
This video was so neat, to know that the scientist can now see beneath the water with such detail, it was amazing.
How can they describe a 7 mile wide asteroid killing all large dinosaur life on earth, and then immediately go on to say that an oil spill was the worst environmental disaster to "ever happen in the gulf"? Hello?!? All Dinosaurs would disagree.
It was also a huge environmental disaster to bring all those slave ships here.
Reminds me of the old Underdog Show episode where Simon Barsinister invented a water impounding machine, trapping whole bodies of water into these little vials. He would take the machine to the water's edge, dip its nozzle in, go "Simon says... drink!" and cackle as a whole river, lake, or ocean disappears!
Thank goodness Underdog was there to save the day!
Have learned much...watching these stories.
Excellent! Thank you.
It's disappointing that Nat Geo fails to tell us how much of the typography were seeing is the result of mapping data and how much is creative license.
Interesting documentary
If U would count how many times he said Drain the ocean in 47 min, could be double that
Hold on...I need to drain the bladder before I sit down and watch this.
Good and interesting episode
This is a really fascinating documentary and I’m really glad and excited to watch it without ads on KZhead premium!! 😊
Ad blockers do the same thing for free.
Love this Drain the oceans Series documentaries
So wonderfully entertaining and educational at the same time! ❤❤
Absolutely amazing to learn about the world war || of what happened with both sides during the war . I appreciate you for sharing the history of the war .
I love watching this
Amazing video thx for sharing This video 🙏❤️
Wow, that's so amazing!! I wonder what they did with all the water while they were making the movie
Very enjoyable to watch...bravo....drain the swamp.....next....
Yes, please drain the swamp of Magots
Amazing‼️
I've learned so much from your videos! 👏
wow... great show...im learning a lot
That was so cool, I loved that. Thankyou!
Awesome Documentary! I would love to visit the gulf sometime!! Going to Texas soon!
Good deal so you’ll get to se Mexico up close in Texas
The Florida Gulf Coast is much better than Texas, much better beaches, barrier islands, amenities, etc.
you did a really good analysis
This is one of the most educational video ever it’s so amazing!
Human imagination, has always amazed me." Old telephone game comes to mind". Incredible indeed.
1010 I believe you God
Just finished watching the entire documentary in 45 minutes. Loved 🥰 it. Thank you so much
Gotta love Louisiana ❤ probably y the energy out there is so strong..
Not sure if it's the video or what but seems like I'm being hypnotized
Id like to see " drain the oceans" around Oak island
Can't wait for them to tackle the Marianas trench episode
Thank you sir for beautiful video
The best movie, It is so interesting for watching.
So hyped to watch this!!
imagine if the gulf of mexico was just a huge forest before the ocean filled it , i know it was always full but would be amazing to see it as the grand canyon.
I'm sure when the continents were one there was vegetation. Watch programs about plate tectonics.
Very enjoyable to watch...bravo....drain the
Right when i think im getting smarter bang learn something's i never had a clue was so technical deep sea drilling yup love those movies when they find something or wakes something up....
Fascinating & informative. Being English I find the overly dramatic presentation a bit much. Excellent production tho'. I'm curious to know what dating evidence was used to link the 3 different old ships to the same sinking event, same era obviously, but sank at the same time? Pure speculation without evidence.
