"The glitter of gold, the man negotiated with the devil ... commanded armies, killed innocents, crossed the jungle and the desert ... and came to the sea." "The most famous of the rescue ships ... or Italian Claw, still na Inglaterra, depois de uma proeza." "For several years, the stormy coast of England ..." "Ship divers rescued a treasure ... 110 meters deep." "Stuck in the surface pressure ... the diver was submerged just a look ... guiding explosive charges, lowered from above." "Almost half a century later ..." "Jacques Cousteau e Raffaello Mancini..." "Original diving team ..." "They examined the tower of the ship, now a small museum." "Mr. Mancini likes to leave the tower where it is." "You want to get down again." "Blurred presence in the depths ... the sunken ship, Egypt, is still alive in Mancini memory." "Recalling that Egypt took more than seven tons of gold and 45 silver ... it identifies the photo itself, lush ... taken at the time of discovery ... and reports the tremendous excitement when the first went up bar." "Today, the rescue has more pressing goals ... and tries to protect a most valuable asset:" "Life itself." "Every day, we know more damage to our habitat." "Industrial waste is thrown into the sea ... and a tanker oil plays." "Of the boot of Italy, the collision of a ship ... sends a deadly cargo of tetraethyl in the background." "There are public guarantees minimizing the threat of chemical ... one anti-knock blended with gasoline." "POISONOUS STEAM" " POISONOUS IN SKIN ABSORPTION" "But in California, a marine biologist describes their level of toxicity." "Low concentrations, as one in a billion ... resulting in abnormal development or death of one third bodies." "As seen under the microscope ... tetraethyl is an extremely toxic compound." "The cell of a hedgehog-fish disintegrates after exposure." "We arrived in time to avoid a huge ecological catastrophe." "Diving Supervisor" "Slowly, the man develops methods of protection ... loads poisoned against rusting in the sea." "Sometimes struggling in the dark ... it's easier to pretend the danger does not exist." "Hidden in the depths, the deadly threat is cruel ... but still there." "The ODYSSEY OF JACQUES COUSTEAU" "Aimed at those who are fighting to preserve life on our planet" "Otranto, the sea brings few surprises." "As a man and his feisty wife ..." "They lived together for at least two thousand years." "Located further east from the tip of Italy ... the city is the first to feel the Bora ... the wind of the Adriatic storm." "There were other storms." "Some conquerors came here." "Greeks and Byzantines, Arabs and Normans, Spanish and French." "Twelve thousand died fighting the Turks." "The city saw in the crisis, some panic ... and there are those who find a courage they did not know they had." "PUMP CLOCK IN DEEP OCEAN" "And after a short break, Otranto follows the lives normally." "Women pray, the streets are taken." "The elderly are moving to ease the rigidity of the body." "No one is surprised to see the familiar figure." "Cousteau has been here." "Again, I am in Otranto." "I walk to the cathedral priest, Don Quintino, and talk of another threat ... silent and invisible, that just a few months ago." "He tells me that the incident of the sunken ship, Cavtat ..." "It was to remember the sacred mission of protecting the wonders of creation." "All around us, children are like birds ... running the most important job in the world ... grow." "I ask them about Cavtat." "Some forgotten, but most remember." ""Ah, yes!" "It was the ship that sank with the poison."" "One day, it was a piece of history." "This is more interesting." "Later, I walk with a hero of this battle, Judge Alberto Maritati." "Without it, many things would not have been made." "The anchor of Cavtat would not be in the port ... as a reminder of what could have happened." "I give him a copy of my magazine article ... which drew public attention to the Cavtat." "PUMP CLOCK IN THE MEDITERRANEAN" "Beyond us, beyond the harbor, the sea looks no different." "It is still one of the busiest places in the world." "Here, between the cities in the Atlantic and various ports ... around the Mediterranean and beyond ... a multitude of ships coming and going." "Quickly, back in time to that day in December 1974 ... when here, in calm waters, the ship Yugoslav Cavtat ... hit a Panamanian ship, owned by Italy ... and sank 50 fathoms of water ..." "It was about five kilometers from the coast in Otranto." "Earlier, the judge makes the routine questions." "Then, one discovers a potentially lethal cargo ship." "Three hundred tons of tetraethyl and tetramethyl ... stored in casks that once corrode, releasing the cargo at sea." "Disturbed by tests on the poison ..." "Maritati the judge sends telegrams to the Merchant Marine ... and other ministries, asking what he should do in the case." "There is no answer." "So he sends messages to public health, to justice ... the Police Headquarters and to the Senate." "Again, given evasive answers or none at all." "For Cousteau, Maritati reports that after many inventions and delay ... he takes a stand alone." "For the first time in history, it removes remains of sea wreck." "Finally, in January 1977, orders the company Saipem ... to start the rescue, with a final cost of $ 12 million." "In a month, an extraordinary force of rescue ships ..." "It stands above the rest, ready to get to work." "Although it has been influenced by the attention given to the fact that Cousteau ... the flotilla was there mainly by the will and courage ... a man, a simple local magistrate." "Encouraged by the Italian government to evaluate ongoing operations ..." "Cousteau arrives at Calypso." "Putting a rope around Castoro ... a rescue vessel Saipem, it joins the fleet anchored." "Later, with rescue officers, he gets Maritati judge on board." "At lunch aboard the Calypso ..." "Maritati the judge emphasized the great importance of public awareness." "He says he could not have done it without the support of the public ... who became interested because of the Cousteau article ... and decisions of tourist organizations to boycott the area." "As the first Judge aa draw remains of a shipwreck ... and the nearby area, the sea ..." "Maritati is now preparing to open another precedent." "In the Calypso Diving disk, soucoupe ... it will be the first magistrate to enter the sea ... to see forensic evidence and prepare the deposition." "Monitoring it downstairs, Cousteau keeps in touch with Falco ... o opera as saucer." "Approaching the Cavtat the bow, almost 100 m deep ... the judge sees the embedded object ... their maneuvers and legal orders in the battle of three years." "The darkness, the lights show a disturbing spectrum." "The mast of the ship, half broken and twisted by rust." "On deck and in the cargo hold of Cavtat ... death waiting in queue ordered." "Nine hundred barrels of tetraethyl and tetramethyl." "Cousteau speaks to Falco about caring for the dangerous current ... that reaches five knots per hour in the wreck area." "Although the ship is upright, almost as if still sail ... the accident also spread some barrels in the background." "With soucoupe again near the surface ... a diver can hoist the capsule." "Now aboard the Calypso, the judge comes the hatch of soucoupe ... to be congratulated for its unprecedented mission on the seabed." "His long struggle to do something triumphed." "What remains now is the difficult task ... to physically bring the vats of poison to the surface." "The first prerequisite is to remove the damaged mast ... leaning precariously toward Cavtat ... interfering with the removal of the barrels of the hatch ... and putting divers at risk." "Arriving at the helicopter deck of the Castoro ..." "Cousteau was surprised by the size of Saipem operation." "Led by Falco on deck ... it is a large and noisy building area." "With 152 m long and 30 m wide ... the Castoro is the size of several football stadiums." "With its crane, able to lift 800 tons ... with its small cranes on deck, as strange beetles ..." "Castoro is one of the world's most advanced rescue vessels." "But all that is needed to analyze the depths." "Nearby, the Calypso seems weak and small." "Mesmo no model used by Francesco Lo Savio ... to describe the positions of the rescue ship and debris." "The diving specialist, Lo Savio ..." "It is responsible for the Castoro operations." "... so many equipment were needed." "Here we have a beautiful model." "Cavtat is a model ship from Yugoslavia." "It has three tons of cargo on board ... filling 900 barrels of anti-knock compound." "Mais tarde, Lo Savio and Eugene Silvestri, supervisor from superfície ... describe operations." "The control module communication systems ... divers are continuously monitored." "Main rescue point, require 150 specialists ... and doctors taking care of operations to maintain each working." "About to enter the airlock ... where they will live for three weeks ... divers play with Falco ... about monastic isolation of the world daily." "Storms may come and go over, remind you ... but underneath always be calm." "Assisted by Bernard Delemotte diver chief Calypso ... the two settle on Cam ... which is part of the system called saturation diving." "In it, the divers are kept at the same pressure ... where they will work." "The enclosure or the bell that will take them down is clean." "A simple lead microgram can it unusable." "In the quiet existence of divers ... reading, listening to music, playing ... even the arrival of the meal or snack is an event." "Dr. Mario Milanesi ensures their welfare, looking closely at." "Daily, divers and cameras are tested ... looking for signs of contamination." "Twice a week, with experts from Octel ... fabricantes de tetraetil ..." "Samples of blood, urine and breath are analyzed ... to ensure there is no lead in the bodies of divers." "Dressing for diving is very complicated." "By freezing temperatures below 91 m ... and because the mixture of helium and oxygen strip body heat ... a hot water circulation system was put in wetsuits." "The bell is brought to the chamber and connected ... and its internal pressure is compared to the quarters of the divers." "In cranes ... a four-ton counterweight descends to the first hatch of Cavtat." "The two cables serve as guides ... in which, regardless of the current ... the bell descend and rise, like an elevator ... between Beaver and debris." "Also in the compression chamber, divers are preparing ... using each of two pairs of gloves ... to protect the casks below." "Finally, go to the bell ... the narrow universe in which go down." "Off camera, divers expect the hatches closed." "Basically, only one will work." "The other will serve as sentinel ... ready to communicate with the surface, if something goes wrong." "In the control module, Cousteau recalls the experience ... that made possible the saturation diving." "I see surreal images again." "Of bizarre figures, looking troubled." "Actually, it's pretty simple." "We are testing the responses of post-submerged divers." "After living a week to 10 m deep ... and work several hours a day to 26 m ..." "Albert Falco and Claude Wesly solve problems in the water ... as effectively on the surface." "It is 1962 and this is the first of Conshelf experiences." "Less than a year later, in May, June and July 1963 ..." "Conshelf II to build a village of houses on the seabed ..." "Reef Sha'ab Rumi, near Port Sudan on the Red Sea." "With Falco, I arrive at soucoupe to our submerged garage." "Then swam to call Casa da Estrela, on top of the reef." "Here, six oceanographers live a month ago to 10 m ... working daily to 26 m." "Because there is a limit to the respiratory gases ... being absorbed into the body ... divers can work for long ... requiring only a decompression." "The parrot is a friend and a guarantee ... against deterioration of the gas mixture." "As divers, it fits right ... and it seems little surprised to be in a world full of fish." "More likely, two oceanautas live for a week to 27 m ... working at a depth of 100 m every day." "For the third experiment, in July 1965 ... a large ball is put in the Mediterranean, close to Monaco ... and brought to 102 m deep." "Here, I am eating a food almost tasteless, the helium ... oceanautas were six, for 27 days." "Daily, swam to a prototype to work, to 121 m ... and their air tubes follow, the darkness ... as Ariadne's thread on the seabed." "They proved that man can work there for long ... without prejudicing or affecting the efficiency of anything." "I remember them, umbilical air who gave their lives in the depths." "Because of them, the Cousteau team can work." "This is for the two gas pipes." " Two pipes." " Yup." "Aboard do Beaver ..." "Silvestri describes the advanced system to support the life of the bell." "Electricity, telephone and hot water ..." " Hot water." " Hot water, yes." " It is warm." " I know." "Diver chief, the control module, accompanies them on TV ... and the staff at the bell is the last check." "Slowly, the winch unwinds the cable telephone and light ... and water heating, and the capsule falls." "In the darkness, 91 km isolated from the surface ... a hood is not counterweight." "Now, wearing plastic covers ... for visibility and protection against poison ... the diver comes up, assisted by his companion." "Followed by a camera, the diver explores the load." "The impact of the crash scattered debris everywhere." "Even after cleaning ... the casks shall be taken away ... prepared by a pulley system, until well below the crane cables." "Diver makes a request to control." "To fix the cable angle ... the Castoro should go further east." "Obediently, the 18 tons ship does its part." "Carefully, the diver swims among the barrels." "Some are inclined." "Perhaps even open." "Not only rust, but also internal corrosion ... threatens to spread content in the sea around." "Diver clean a label by hand ... but it is not only rust." "The barrel is leaking." "Suspecting contamination, swims for balance." "There, following established procedures ... it takes away the plastic cover ... which provides protection for your wet suit." "Leaves off balance before entering." "Later, the removal area maintained by Octel ... the plastic cover and all materials exposed ..." "They are burnt under the supervision of the manufacturer's employees." "Although protected, the clothes and diving masks ..." "They are also washed and sanitized regularly ... and the bell is decontaminated." "Diver is even contaminated." "By observation via TV, telephone questions ... and blood samples welcomed by the camera ..." "Dr. Milanesi diagnosed his symptoms ... and told to stay in bed." "Having already administered antibiotic and cortisone ... he now prescribes medication for skin irritation." "There will be no consequences." "But without all the care, there could be." "Full of poison barrels, a basket up to auxiliary ship, Orsa ... made especially to catch the tetraethyl." "With lateral openings, leakage of lead ... will be in the basket background." "Realized too late, the poison of an open vat spills at sea." "It's a rush of memory required ... before other corroded barrels release their contents into the water." "At a news conference, on the deck of Orsa ... close to dangerous evidence, Maritati Judge tells reporters ... the next step is to find responsible for the accident ... and whether any of the two captains was guilty of negligence." "The charges:" "Destruction of a ship and marine life." "In addition to concern the decadent barrels ... bad weather is already part of the routine." "But there are still some preparation." "With the help of divers of Calypso, new lights are fixed." "Working alone, as always, four to six hours ... the diver enters the cargo hold." "Amid the confusion which has not yet been clean ... it involves the casks in cables one by one." "Finally, with the pulley and the crane ..." "You can put them in the baskets ... awaiting next to Cavtat." "Each filled basket is put at about 18 m below." "There, a diver swims to find her." "Laying a new cable that makes her go ... not to Ragno, but Orsa, which now waits on the surface." "Performing a different function from the other ship ... the Orsa arrives on the scene only when there are several baskets full ... forming a charge." "With masks and decontamination equipment ... os técnicos da Octel a bordo do Orsa..." "They prepare to receive the accumulated barrels." "The procedure is repeated several times." "Day after day, week after week, the rescue work continues." "Delayed by whitewater or dangerous waves in the sea ..." "Baskets up the fill, the cables are placed ..." "Orsa and receives over one full charge." "Finally, the board of Orsa, one of the heads is a sign." "The charge is over." "With Orsa, again, en route to the port ..." "Experts begin to take tetraethyl ... and tetramethyl of individual barrels." "The compounds are transferred to larger tanks as well ... where finally return to Octel." "As the contents of the tanks is withdrawn ... more cylinders go to the empty queue." "Later, they will also be taken, truck ... to where the Octel will finally to burn them." "In November 1977, the last barrels basket is brought to the surface." "Cousteau and charged with the task, celebrate the triumph." "At a cost of US $ 14,000 per barrel ... after 10 months, 270 dives and 1,200 hours worked in the background ... only less than 3% of the poison could not be recovered." ""But where divers?" Says Cousteau ... and remember that are still down there." "Occasion the heroes are not only delayed ... as will take another five days to complete decompression ... and could return to the ordinary world to other men." "Until then, the party will be over ... but at least today, Otranto is free from fear." "The Maritati judge broke legal precedents." "He also proved the power of engaged citizens have ... to demand from governments and technology to serve your needs." "Proved that, as in Otranto ... older can talk to God by candlelight ... that men and women can work and love ... that children can sleep believing that tomorrow the sun will rise ... and the land is still green."
