The SHOCKING Reason Nobody Will Ever Touch the USS Arizona Shipwreck
The USS Arizona has been leaking oil into Pearl Harbor every single day since December 7th, 1941 — and nobody will ever stop it. This is the real reason why. On the morning of December 7th, 1941, a single armor-piercing bomb struck the USS Arizona and she sank in nine minutes. More than 900 men are still inside her. A memorial was built directly above the wreck. Millions of people visit every year. And the ship has never stopped leaking oil — not once, in over 80 years. Visitors can still see it today: small black drops rising to the surface, spreading into a rainbow sheen on the water. They call it the black tears of the Arizona. In this video, I look at why it's still happening, why the US Navy has never tried to stop it, and why — according to the best estimates available — it won't stop until the year 2500. The answer involves a full fuel load taken on the day before the attack, a hull too fragile to safely cut into, oil that has barely changed since 1941, and a decision the Navy made long ago that it will never reverse. If you're into WW2 naval history, shipwrecks, or underwater history, this one is worth your time. ⬇️ Watch until the end — the final detail about the oil timeline is the one that stays with you. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss the next one.
