Awesome.

Can someone add subtitles?

Also, why are the voices high pitched?

"What is your rank?"
"I'm the cook."
"You're the cook? They always survive..." wtf? LOL

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Mordhaus.

The recovery diver is using a Heliox (helium plus oxygen) gas mixture. Normal air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, but both of those gasses can cause problems under the extreme pressures of deep dives. Nitrogen at high pressures makes you drunk ("nitrogen narcosis") and oxygen can be toxic.
In Heliox, the nitrogen has been replaced by helium, avoiding the drunkenness at the cost of a high-pitched voice. Concentrations of oxygen are also usually lower, reducing oxygen toxicity.

Also, why are the voices high pitched?

Music is from The Great Escape which is fitting and probably why chosen.

Man, if they never dived for dead bodies...

Bloody hell how frightening for the cook. What a lucky bloke.

and this all happened a while ago, yet as soon as liveleak has the video, CNN does.... lmfao at the "news"...
