have you ever heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch no well you should because
it's pretty damn insane also known as the Pacific trash vortex it's
essentially a great big heap of plastic chemical sludge and other such nautical
debris as being trapped by the ever swirling currents of the North Pacific
guy according to recent estimations the Great Pacific Garbage Patch covers over
1.6 million square kilometres covering over 8,000 metric tons of plastic and if
that's not already messed up enough there's another one growing in the North
Atlantic you see the point is it's hard for us to garner any kind of perspective
on the vast expanse of our oceans and we may never know exactly what's lurking
out there well in that case let me introduce you to scp-455 and this one is
pretty messed up hello Internet what's going on and once again welcome back to
the most inquisitive channel on YouTube life's biggest questions as per usual
help your disembodied flowing voice Jack Finch as today we curiously ask the
question what if scp-455 was real brother clip
fukusa weren't you that clip was from Christopher Smith's mind-bending 2009
horror thriller triangle and if you know anything about that movie then you'll
know that it involves a terrifying anomalous maze of a shipwreck and as
it's pretty fitting when we apply it to today's hypothetical spark of a thought
but let's not beat about the bush because if I had to choose between being
trapped in either that ship or scp-455 I'm choosing the ship from triangle any
day trust me guys four five five is messed up but before we dive down deep
into its anomalous implications it's probably best that we first paint a
terrifying picture as to what exactly is going on as the record stays scp-455 is
a large cargo ship that is currently run aground just off of the southern coast
of Chile most of its frame is underwater and badly damaged with rust coating 85
to 90% of all of its surfaces its internal structure appears to be
significantly larger than external dimensions and that's fit to play a
rather large part and the wide implications of this anomaly but for now
we'll just accept the fact that it's bigger on the inside than it is on the
outside just like the TARDIS of Doctor Who Fame except this one wants to eat
your flesh sorry I've said too much already one of this
entities most intriguing paradox is the fact that otherwise being a rusty hull
of a shipwreck scp-455 is not flooded despite large holes visible in and
around its outer hull and that bizarre material mystery is just the start of it
but before we dive into exactly what's waiting beneath for firefighters rusted
metal shell is perhaps much more important that we preface this
particular question with a more broader one could a shipwreck such as scp-455
exists somewhere out there in our oceans without yet being found and the
terrifying truth of the matter is yes yes it really really could in fact a
rough estimation by UNESCO puts more than three million shipwrecks out there
on the ocean floor that have succumbed to the murky blue over our civilizations
history in fact there are so many undiscovered shipwrecks beneath the
waves the following the airline tragedy of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 rescue
crews discovered two ancient shipwrecks by accident 175 warships and 783
submarines were lost to the deep blue sea
Jori of which have never been recovered there is an estimated 60 billion US
dollars in sunken treasure that is lay scattered around the world waiting for
some lucky sea diver at the bottom of the ocean Walter that sounds absolutely
amazing full of more adventure and excitement than the whole uncharted
video game series in this specific case scp-455 is the last wreckage you'd ever
want to stumble upon because if you did your battens become much more involved
than you'd ever have anticipated scp-455 is an anomalous thorn in the foundation
side and it is so incomprehensibly mind-bending that remains to be perhaps
the least explored entity within the Foundation's containment and containment
in this case is a loose term as there are no special containment procedures
for this particular SCP as no personnel are permitted to remain in close
proximity to the entity for more than five minutes and all physical contact
with the structure is strictly forbidden any individuals who are found to break
this order are to be quarantined although the anomalous damage is more
than likely too late to be reversed so what's the big deal eh it's just a
shipwreck right all right maybe it's a little bit creepy but it can't be that
bad right no rot within the actual wreckage the internal structure of
scp-455 appears to be a random assembly of rooms halls and structures that
almost seem to function like the labyrinth of legend ever-shifting almost
corporeal in the sense there has a mind of its own initially when the foundation
was still stupid enough to try and explore the place salvage teams reported
entire rooms made out of human teeth an engine with tendon strips for timing
bouts a large gym room with steel walls that were as blind as taffy and an
endless series of twists and turning corridors that defied the spatial
parameters of the ship structure the entity appears to exhibit strange
temporal properties with time - to date the foundation has sent three mobile
task force squads in to scp-455 to explore its structure which from the
outside should be a relatively straightforward job as it exhibits no
more than five floors even when viewed by diving teams from beneath but in
every exploration the result has usually found each task force either being lost
entirely or recovered after transmission has been lost entirely in some cases
this has spanned week's the leading prognosis is that
scp-455 is some kind of ancient living entity that is comprised of amorphous
rust and metal that was never meant to be alive that thinks it is and now takes
the form of an unsuspecting shipwreck to learn in its victims Wow
now obviously the foundation is wizened up to this fact and they're no longer
willing to sacrifice personnel to explore it and thankfully they'll be
leaving the robots to do that but if scp-455 was handled by any other
organization the luckiest thing that they could ever hope for is for it to
remain as one of the 97% unexplored shipwrecks lost to the depths of the
ocean forever you see there is one thing that we appear to have left out in the
anomalous cautionary tale of four five five I have all the recovered test logs
and nearly every mobile task force member that was lost to the endless
winding metal and rust they all found the same thing at the bottom of the
terrifying descent food at the point of starvation with rations depleted well of
course as any human being would they ate that food but only moments after eating
the food offered by the anomalies of scp-455 so Wow now you know if you just
so happen to be a deep-sea diver or anyone otherwise interested in the
recovery of ancient shipwrecks at the bottom of the ocean bed then please
please even if you're in pursuit of your fortune leave scp-455 well well alone
you've been warned well there we have it our course route out for what you should
expect if you ever have the misfortune of stumbling upon the wreckage of
scp-455 don't go inside please unfortunately that's all we've got time
for in today's video but before we depart let's first take a quick look at
some of your more creative comments for over the past few days first up Jennifer
Jareau says if you drink two 5-hour energy drinks do you get 10 hours of
energy or just twice the energy for five hours now you get the runs well on that
note I better skedaddle unfortunately that's all we've got time for in today's
video chips stick around all the way until the end if you were a fan of this
video just life's biggest questions in general then please be there and hit
that thumbs up button as well as I subscriber and obviously you and the
next one as per usual up in your disembodied flying voice Jack Finch
you've been watching life's biggest questions until next time you take it
easy
