El Faro

Captain Steers Ship Straight Into a Hurricane

From the channel of Dark Records.

I remember keeping up with the El Faro on the news when all this happened. It was intriguing. It turned out to be bad, real bad.

"The in-depth story of the sinking of the El Faro 2015. The vessel made the headlines when it disappeared on the outskirts of the Bermuda Triangle. The last time anyone heard from those onboard the El Faro was when it headed straight into the heart of Hurricane Joaquin. At dawn, not a single trace remained. The ship had vanished as if it never existed." Source: Dark Records.

The rates are using foreign currency like US Dollar, Euro, Japan Yen and Chinese Yuan. The dishes vary from Korean, Chinese, and Western Cuisine.

Eating In North Korea 2015

Eating In North Korea 2015

From the channel of Aram Pan (Singapore360).

I like the video, but the lady certainly talks a lot. I mean, a whole lot. How can you eat with her when she's such a talkative bird?

Female Submariners

How Female Submarine Sailors Eat, Sleep & Survive for 3 Months Underwater

From the channel of Blue Insider.

I've been on the museum ship submarine USS Cavalla in Galveston, Texas. There were a lot of other tourists inside her, and it was cramped. I remember talking to one man about what it must have been like going to sea and working inside of it. In short, we both said we'd have to decline working on a submarine. Not no, but heck no. I can never imagine a scenario where I would willingly volunteer to serve on a submarine.

"Right now, 300 feet below the Pacific, female submariners are eating, sleeping, showering, working, and surviving in a metal tube the size of 3 school buses  for 90 days straight. This video reveals the realities, pressures, modifications, hygiene challenges, cultural shifts, and psychological stress female sailors face serving on U.S. Navy submarines and why they Still have some of the highest retention rates in the entire Navy."

Five Days in North Korea

NORTH KOREA — 5 Days Inside The Most ISOLATED Country (Episode 2) 북한의 삶

From the channel of Explore & Discover.

Our favorite Russian bloggers explore the DPRK, or North Korea, for five days.

"An exclusive look at North Korea, the world’s most closed-off country. Life here is isolated from the outside world and every aspect of existence is regulated by order of the "Great Leader", from the art you’re allowed to see, the books you can read, even to your hairstyle. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is perhaps the least known country in the world today. Based on a political ideology known as ‘Juche’, the socialist government controls every source of information and the national leader, Kim Jong-un, preserves the peace and defends the state’s historical, spiritual and cultural heritage. From childhood, they are taught to be loyal to their leader and to beware of western values. For most viewers North Korea remains a mystery but this unique film offers a limited window of opportunity to view Korean lifestyle through the prism of North Korean peoples’ every day cares and joys."

"Mind-Blowing Life of a Kamikaze"

An interesting reel about Kamikaze activity.

A futile endeavor, but many men volunteered for the "honor." They were young men, very young, but they gave their lives for their country. Read more about these men here.

German Female POW

"They Told Us to Close Our Eyes" — German Women POWs Shocked by What Came Next

From the channel of WWII Hidden Courage.

"They were told the Americans would be monsters—cruel, merciless, and vengeful—but when 847 German women stepped onto U.S. soil as prisoners of war in September 1945, everything they believed shattered. Expecting starvation, humiliation, and punishment, they were instead met with hot showers, fresh uniforms, clean beds, and the smell of freshly baked bread. This powerful true story follows Greta Hartmann, a young radio operator from Berlin, as she and hundreds of other German women struggled to reconcile years of Nazi propaganda with the shocking kindness shown to them inside American POW camps. From the moment they arrived—terrified and broken—to their first hot meal, warm bed, and simple acts of humanity from their so-called enemies, their worldviews crumbled. This video reveals their emotional journey through guilt, survival, inner conflict, and transformation as they witnessed the compassion of the enemy while their own families starved back home in a ruined Germany. It is a story not of battles, but of dignity, mercy, and the painful realization that kindness can break a person more deeply than cruelty. If you’re passionate about untold World War II stories, human psychology, emotional historical narratives, and the hidden experiences of women in war, this video will stay with you long after it ends. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more forgotten stories of WWII and the human truths they reveal." Source: WWII Hidden Courage.
