USS Scorpion and USS Thresher Wreckage

In November 2013, I filed a freedom of information act request for more pictures/video of the wreckage of the USS Scorpion. The only pictures I could find were those taken in the 80's which are pretty commonly available. Since the boat had nuclear tipped torpedoes, the Navy checks the site every couple of years to insure it hasn't been disturbed. This is part of the response I received. This is from the expedition Ballard performed (when he also went looking for the Titanic). Parts of this mission not shown is Ballard using the ROV to gain access to the forward compartment and check the torpedo status (again, nuclear tipped). Update: With the recent Titan incident, this video has been seeing an uptick in traffic. While most comments have been respectful, I've been having to delete some as well. Please do not use this video to peddle your conspiracy theories or political views; this is a disservice to the men who lost their lives on these boats. Also, you're welcome to use clips from this video in your own. With this, please cite properly and link back to this video in your description when doing so.
