10 Mysterious Shipwrecks on Google Earth Explained
These are the 10 most interesting shipwrecks ever discovered on google earth, you won't believe their mysterious stories.
5 The skeleton shipwrecks of the Atlantic
Just north of Luderitz in Namibia lies a piece of earth so notorious, with such a nasty, hexed reputation, that it actually got named “The Skeleton Coast”. This eerie 976 miles (1,570 kilometers) long shoreline is littered with shipwrecks and remains of older shipwrecks, all along its length. The rusty, rotten remains of hulls that protrude out of the sand at every step have really earned the place its creepy name. The reason for it is a horribly thick fog, that is more or less always there. It forms when the hot, dry air from the Namib desert clashes with the cold currents of the Atlantic. In an article by BBC, it was mentioned that a local tribe of hunters and gatherers, the Khoisan Bushmen, call the Skeleton Coast “the land which God created in anger”. Small wonder, too. The coastline and the surrounding land are brimming not only with shipwrecks, but also dead plants and enormous, bleached whale bones.
4 The Point San Pablo barrier hulls
The Point San Pablo is a yacht harbor located in Richmond, California. The shipwrecks that are stuck in it, however, were actually dragged there on purpose, as an engineering trick. They serve as breakwaters – barriers which are set in place to protect the harbor from the relentless assault of the waves coming in from San Francisco Bay. The man who founded this particular marina, Captain Raymond H. Clark, actually couldn’t afford to build a standard breakwater levee, so he came up with this ingenious solution. According to Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor’s website, he got himself several doomed wooden schooners and towed them all into the location where he intended to build his marina. The vessel graveyard is a popular tourist destination, described as “quite picturesque”, and it’s a favorite spot for fishermen who are out to get some striped bass, which are notably abundant in the area.
3 The Discoverer which didn’t sail the world
Welcome to the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Sitting stranded just off the shore of one of them is the bleached bone white hull of a Danish cruise ship, the MS World Discoverer. It was constructed in 1974 and became famous after it was featured in one of the programs on the History Channel. The World Discoverer was on one of its cruises in the year 2000 when it was struck by disaster. It struck a rock and was damaged just too badly. The crew quickly sent out a distress signal, and everyone, both the crew themselves and all of the passengers, were safely transported onto another passenger ferry. It has remained stuck in Roderick Bay ever since, and the tropical vegetation which has possessed the decks has become a popular photography site for tourists. There were some attempts to salvage the ship, but they weren’t successful, because most of the ship was damaged and looted during the Solomon Islands Civil War.
2 The Half Moon schooner-yacht
Florida’s Museums in the Sea tells the story of a sunken yacht from the period before World War I. Well, it’s a schooner-yacht, to be more precise, with two masts. Believe it or not, it used to be a racing vessel, which is pretty impressive considering that it’s a lump of 366 tons of steel. The ship was built in Germany way back in 1908, and it’s original name was Germania. During World War I, however, it was seized by England, sold off and renamed into the Half Moon. The newly named vessel was sailed down to Miami, and during the Prohibition era, it was repurposed for entertainment purposes, serving as a floating kabarette. It met its demise in 1930, when a horrible storm ran it aground. The Half Moon sank, and nowadays its watery grave is considered an archaeological preserve. The shipwreck is open to the public and can be visited by divers and snorkels.
1 The USS Utah memorial
The USS Utah was a dreadnought battleship, but ironically enough, it wasn’t in active service when it was sunk. It was on standby as an auxiliary ship, according to the Pacific Aviation Museum in Hawaii. During the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7th 1941, it was sunk by Japanese B5N2 Kate torpedo bombers. Records state that the attack killed 64 crewmen, and 58 of them went underwater with the ship when it sank. The worst of it was, the bombing was an accident: the USS Utah was mistaken for an active ship; it wasn’t a planned attack at all. Oops!

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 24, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
Opening arguments in President Trump’s impeachment trial began on Jan. 22 in the Senate. House managers, led by Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), will present three days of opening arguments. Then, senators will have 16 hours to ask questions in writing. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will read the questions out loud, and the appropriate side — defense or prosecution — can answer them.
President Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.
Watch the debate on Jan. 21 on the rules of the trial:

Dead End: An investigation gone wrong - The Fifth Estate
Two young men were on an ATV at a cottage near Haliburton, Ont., in August 2012 when it crashed into a steel gate, leaving one dead and the other unscathed. What happened that day has become the subject of an almost seven-year investigation involving four different police forces. The father of the teen who died is committed to exposing what he believes is a bungled OPP investigation.

The War of 1812 - Crash Course US History #11
In which John Green teaches you about the War of 1812. The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and its former colonial overlord England. It started in, you guessed it 1812. The war lasted until 1815, and it resolved very little. John will take you through the causes of the war, tell you a little bit about the fighting itself, and get into just why the US Army couldn't manage to make any progress invading Canada. And yes, Canadians, we're going to talk about the White House getting burned down. The upshot: no territory changed hands, and most of the other bones of contention were solved prior to the actual war. Although nothing much changed for the US and England, the Native Americans were the big losers. Tecumseh was killed, and the Indian tribes lost a lot of territory. Watch as John lays it all out for you. Also, check out #1812problems on Twitter. It's awesome.

The Sea Level Did, in Fact, Rise Faster in the Southeast U.S.
The Sea Level Did, in Fact, Rise Faster in the Southeast U.S.
For people in the southeastern United States, and especially in Florida, who feel that annoying tidal flooding has sneaked up on them in recent years, it turns out to be true. And scientists have a new explanation.
In a paper published online Wednesday, University of Florida researchers calculated that from 2011 to 2015, the sea level along the American coastline south of Cape Hatteras rose six times faster than the long-term rate of global increase.
“I said, ‘That’s crazy!’” Andrea Dutton, one of the researchers, recalled saying when a colleague first showed her the figures. “‘You must have done something wrong!’”
But it was correct. During that period of rapid increase, many people in Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and other coastal communities started to notice unusual “sunny-day flooding,” a foot or two of salt water inundating their streets at high tide for no apparent reason.
In the paper, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the scientists proposed a mechanism to explain the rapid increase: Two large-scale atmospheric patterns had intersected to push up the water off the Southeast coast, causing a “hot spot” of sea-level rise.
This new mechanism, if it holds up to scientific scrutiny, might ultimately give researchers the ability to predict tidal flooding more accurately and warn communities what to expect months in advance.
William V. Sweet, a sea-level researcher at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who was not involved in the new work, pointed out that the long-term trend in sea level was a relentless increase, but that much is unknown about the variations that can occur over short periods. “The more we can understand what’s causing those, the more we can be prepared for the next influx of tidal flooding events,” Dr. Sweet said.
Many people think the ocean works something like a bathtub, with sea level being the same all the way around. In reality, the ocean is lumpy, with winds, currents and other factors pushing water around to produce substantial variations in sea level from place to place.
Worldwide, the average level of the ocean is rising at a rate of about a foot per century, a consequence of the warming of the planet caused by the human release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
The excess heat trapped by those gases accumulates primarily in the ocean,
and the seawater expands as it warms. Land ice is also melting into the sea because of the planetary warming, contributing to the rise, which appears to be accelerating over time.
...
Cape Hatteras, it veers off into the deeper ocean. That had led scientists to suggest that changes in the Gulf Stream might account for some of the rapid variations in sea level.
But now, three University of Florida scientists — Dr. Dutton, Arnoldo Valle-Levinson, and Jonathan B. Martin — suggest that the Gulf Stream was not the primary culprit in the 2011 to 2015 rise.
Instead, they found that two large atmospheric patterns most likely accounted for the hot spot off the Southeast coast: the El Niño cycle and the North Atlantic Oscillation, which is a shift in atmospheric pressure over the ocean that can have large effects on the winds blowing toward the American coast.
The paper suggests that the two sometimes interact in a way that causes water to pile up. The work confirms and extends two earlier papers, including one published in 2015 by a group led by Gerard D. McCarthy of Britain’s National Oceanography Center in Liverpool.
The new work is based on strong correlations, going back decades, between particular atmospheric patterns and the high sea levels.
Dr. Sweet, critiquing the paper, said he felt that the correlations were indeed suggestive, but he found the paper somewhat weak in explaining the exact mechanisms by which the atmospheric shifts may be causing water to bunch up. “It’s a little bit short, I think, in terms of physical understanding,” he said.
Dr. Valle-Levinson, one of the authors, acknowledged this point. “How the system is working is not crystal clear to us yet,” he said.
Still, the paper is likely to open up new research about why sea-level hot spots seem to wander up and down the American coastline. The paper indicates the Southeast may now see some relief — even if sea level does not fall, which several of the scientists described as unlikely, the pace of the increase may slow for a while.
But communities that have already started to experience severe tidal flooding, like Miami Beach, should not relax their guard, the scientists warned. These towns can expect continued rising seas over the long term, even if the rise occurs in a stepwise fashion.
“Even if it does get a little better for a while,” Dr. Dutton said, “that should be a period that people use to their advantage, to prepare for the next hot spot.”
The conflict in Kashmir, explained
Why Kashmir remains one of the most militarized regions in the world.
Become a Video Lab member!
The dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir is one of the longest running conflicts. Ever since Britain left India in 1947 and hastily drew borders demarcating a Hindu-majority India and a Muslim-majority Pakistan, Kashmir, located right between the two, has been fervently claimed by both nations.
India and Pakistan’s first war was fought over Kashmir’s status as the the newly independent countries were being formed. After over a year of bloody conflict the UN stepped in and brokered a ceasefire that drew a line down the middle of Kashmir and gave a portion of the territory to India and the remainder to Pakistan. This arrangement was meant to be temporary. Once the violence settled a vote was to be held that would allow Kashmiris to decide their own future.
But more than 70 years later, Kashmiris have yet to vote on their status. They remain stuck between two nuclear nations locked in a dangerous conflict with no end in sight.

To many, this marked the beginning of the Cold War. Churchill’s ‘iron curtain’ may have been a figure of speech, but across many borders in Europe this division took the form of physical barriers: walls or structures to prevent capitalist infiltration of the ‘paradise on Earth’ that was real socialism. More likely, these barriers were to prevent citizens of Eastern Europe from fleeing repressive regimes and police states.
