An unsuspecting danger is lurking off our coasts and beneath our sea. In oceans around the world, thousands of sunken World War II vessels are lying on the seabed which contain an estimated 1.5 to 12 billion litres of oil. The question is: how long will the oil stay inside? Their fuel tanks are slowly rusting away, and actively leaking their contents into the environment. Experts have long warned of this threat, but have been either silenced or told the problem is too huge to be solved.

What about the hundreds of millions that leaks out of big fuel companys pipelines in the world's oceans?

If they had to put ALL leak variants in one documentary, that would make for an incredibly long, and eventually quite boring documentary, wouldn't it? It's like commenting a Bentley cars documentary: "What about Aston Martin, they make luxury cars as well?"

@@rickroersma yes it probably would. But would be more informative if comparing amounts already worldwide leaking into the oceans. And would definitely turn people's heads into something that should be stopped also. Just my thought anyway.

I really don't like shows that start off with a lie. Experts and non-experts have known about all of this for at least a decade. It's very important to amplify the story, but without hyperbole.

ok so as i start to watch this.. how many of these vessels a) oil was burned upon sinking b) oil was released while sunk or ruptured and released upon hitting the sea floor c) have released already in the intervening decades. i do know that one of the things commonly looked for in search and rescues are oil slicks.. just some questions..now to watch.

If they want to have a more accurate estimate of how much fuel was on a ship, they should simply follow the money. Somebody had to have paid for that oil and therefore somebody has to have a record of it. Probably there were records on the ship itself that were lost but only a fool would load up a ship with oil and let the only records of it remain on the ship. There have to be records of those financial transactions on land because I assume that, even if a ship sinks and all on it is lost, the person who sold them the oil has a record because they'd want to get payment from whatever company was operating that ship. This is the dawn of the military industrial complex so, presumably, they used to have to account for how much of our money they decided to waste killing people rather than helping them. Especially for military ships, there has to be quite the record of what amount of oil when to which ship.

I'm not sure it's a real problem. All the ships are not going to leak at the same time. Therefore it will be drips and drabs here and there. Spread over many decades it won't be noticed apart from some of the bigger vessels.

Hayley Blackburn in reply to your question a real problem is climate change or loss of biodiversity. Any one of these sunken ships could cause localised issues but the cost and indeed environmental damage caused by disturbing them probably is not worth it. If one is in a particularly sensitive spot then yes take action but you'd have to consider unexploded ordinance and the risk to the lives of those removing oil. The ships have been laying for the best part of a century and have been leaking oil slowly. Most will not cause an environmental disaster and in small amounts the environment can cope with oil. All the ships will not leak all their oil at the same time. This reminds me very much of the disaster documentaries from the 90s early naughties.

Just a thought: Coal powered ships would not be that problematic as long as we clean the emissions this could be an option. As oil seems to be running low. Germany alone has coal for 100-200 years
