  1. This boat scrapping business is almost gone. Chinese prices for scrap metal are higher and more processed.

  3. On of the most amazing and loudest sounds I ever heard was caused by ice. The ice on the Welland Canal was over five inches thick, hiking along there after the sun went down. There must have been a big Niagara Falls hydro water diversion that lowered the water level. All of a sudden I heard a big crack that sounded louder than the cannons at Fort Erie, and it kept going along the side of the canal, fading into the distance, miles away. Incredible! I went down to take a look and the ice along the bank had sagged down onto the stones, with a big crack between it and the ice that was still floating on the middle of the water. So I took a drink.

  4. Here in Ontario, black ice is thin ice that freezes on roads that you can't see, blending with the pavement. I can't imagine new ice anywhere being anything other than completely transparent, unless someone put black dye in the water. They should have touched a mike to the surface, getting far more sounds, and much louder.

  5. There's too much talk about different religions here when that's just a public dressing for military dictators.

  6. When it shows the night sky reflecting on the surface of the waves you see a blue color mixed in. That would only happen during daylight if a blue sky was reflecting on the water.

  7.  @dik56 : I agree with you agreeing with me. I was at Niagara Falls, seeing blue reflected in the current, but my camera couldn't catch it.

  8. This is a very misleading title.

  9. This is the first time I've seen YouTube electronics mess up, with the added bonus, of seeing something National Geographic that not only is wrong, but is poorly produced. I typed my comment about the ice sounds I heard first, but it says "1 second ago". The second comment I typed says "55 seconds ago". I also know I typed them apart further than that. They do display in the order I typed them. okay... okay... you can say get a life if you want to.

  10. You can't say Egypt is the richest source of archeological treasures in the world. By far, India has the most, in every respect, the treasure and the ruins, the quality and amount, the detail and the living history.

  11.  @bench9967 : There is a temple in India where the last doors have never been opened. Many have tried, but they would have to be blasted apart with worries about bringing down the entire building. It is said a certain chant will open them. One set of doors before those were opened and the largest amount of gold ever accumulated on earth was discovered there. I wouldn't have made my original comment if it wasn't the truth.
