Great footage thanks for sharing.
For some odd, illogical, reason when i see a sub wreck i feel more sad than i do if it were a regular ship wreck.

That's easy: you know they didn't stand a chance. At least with a surface vessel, you can jump overboard if you can get to the deck. Subs for the most part never make it up to the surface before going down with all hands.
