1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda In the morning one w Satham.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: We've had a call from Andrew from Freshwater who says

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: he was the first Australian to see the wreckage. Andrew, Hello,

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: how did you get to do that?

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: It was nineteen ninety eight years ago? Now, when I

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: was a young fellow. My wife put an entry in

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: a competition that was run by supermarket Franklin that he

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: sent them broke and they my name was pulled out

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: and I got to go in September nineteen ninety eight US.

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, so talent.

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: So when was Titanic discovered five eighty five?

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, September.

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: And were you one of the first to see the wreckage?

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Were the first Australians to see it?

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? First Australian. The previous to that, I went on

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: the Russian ship that they used in the making of

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: the Titanic movie, and the guys on the ship sort

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: of what Russians know everything about pushing the limits, I suppose,

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: but they they said, previous to that to our trip

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: in ninety eight and like less than forty people in

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: the world would have been to that depth of the ocean.

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: So what did you go down in the submersible. There's

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: two submersible, the ones I used in the making of

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: the Titanic movie. But in the movie they look really

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: nice inside. Not like that. No, it's just a pilot

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: and two passengers.

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: Because the pressure is extraordinary, isn't it under that under

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: the water?

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Yep?

30
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: How long did it take to go from the surface.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: Sounds for squaring? WHOA two and a half hours?

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: Oh, two and a half hours down in the ocean.

33
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got dark after about one hundred and fifty

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: meters or something like that. And what's it like when

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: you get down there and all of a sudden, out

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: of nowhere comes the Titanic. That well, that was a

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: that was a feeling well, and a feeling I'll never

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: ever be able to put into words because you're descending

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: in blackness for two and a half hours in an

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: area that no very few humans have ever been. And

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: then the pilot says, we near the bottom, and we

42
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: landed right near the stern, so we could see the

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, the sort of decrepence of the stern section

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: of the ship is or falling apart, but we could

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: see it quite clearly as we approached the bottom. And

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to now laugh or cry or

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, film it or I didn't know what to do.

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: I've taken photos and videoing it and things, but whatever

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: I could, it's just sort of too much for my

50
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: simple mind to cope with it.

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: Hard to deal with it.

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: I love it.

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: That would freak me out. That would freak me out.

54
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Two and a half hours in the blackness. Did you

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: see some weird creatures?

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw. I don't know if it's an angler fish,

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: because there's another name for some of those funny fish

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: with the big mouths. I should look it up and see.

59
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: But I and I didn't record the depth, but we

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: could cup our hands over the little there's sort of

61
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: four inch wide viewing ports that you could cut hands over,

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: so you saw the lights from the you know, all

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: the apparatus and everything, all the monitoring systems and things.

64
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: You didn't get the reflection of that because we didn't

65
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: have the lights. And when we were descending, so when

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: it's pitch black and you cut your hands over it

67
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: to block out the back light, there's glowing things everywhere,

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: just flow everywhere, things flashing, And I saw going past

69
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the little dirty gray looking and didn't have the light

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: thing hanging over it's the front of its head, but

71
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: a little I thought they call them angler fish, but

72
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: I think there's another name for that certain depth. Yeah,

73
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: and there's creatures on the bottom. There's crabs, and the

74
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: crabs are white. The prawns of blood red and fish

75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: shoot like grenadie or rattail fish they call them. And

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: at six thousand pounds per square inch pressure, they brought

77
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: some of the prawns up to the surface. Because it's

78
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: a research vessel that we're on. They brought them to

79
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: the surface. And I said to one of the Russian scientists,

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: how the hell don't they bloody explode when you get

81
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: them to the surface, And he said, no, they just

82
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: they have a high oil coind ten, so they just

83
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: so I can it doesn't compress. It stays the same,

84
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: even a six thousand player.

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: So I wow, that's amazing. That is amazing. Thank you.

86
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: What a great story. Thanks Andrew's competition.

87
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: How good is it all?

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: As Andrew said, it probably set them broke. Where's Franklin's down?

89
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: They're gone two and a half hours down.

90
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: You would have made fifteen minutes. Can I go the tour?

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: You know what they saw down there was Tony Bullymore

92
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: vote up ended again. I'm trying to have reasonable discourse.

93
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Join the and Amanda in the Morning one at one

94
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: point seven, tell you
