How does the U.S. Navy recover a crashed fighter jet from the bottom of the ocean — especially when it's loaded with classified technology and sitting in hostile waters? And what happens when a Boeing 737 breaks apart and sinks into the Pacific with critical evidence trapped inside the wreckage?
This video breaks down the real process behind underwater aircraft recovery operations, from the F/A-18 Super Hornet pulled from the Arabian Gulf during Operation Inherent Resolve to the Transair Flight 810 Boeing 737 salvaged off the coast of Hawaii. We cover how Navy divers and EOD technicians work at extreme depths under nitrogen narcosis, how remotely operated vehicles perform salvage operations where humans physically cannot, and the engineering challenge behind lifting 60,000 pounds of wreckage from the ocean floor without destroying the black boxes and flight recorders inside.
This is the full story of how military and civilian recovery teams pull aircraft off the deep ocean floor and why the evidence they bring back can prevent the next crash before it happens.
