| Video Discription | In early 2017, The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released a de-classified document between US NSA Advisor Brent Scowcroft and US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, issued in 1974, alerting him of a collision between the USS James Madison (A Poseidon SLBM Nuclear Missile Submarine) and a Soviet Victor Class Attack Submarine just outside the US Navy Submarine base (Refit Site 1 / Subron14) at Holy Loch, Scotland on 3rd November 1974. **Disclaimer** This video is put together from various international media reports, online open source documents, and published personal vlog accounts both by US and Soviet veterans, and remember, accounts will vary! The British Government has never commented on this incident officially! The 2017 CIA release provoked a short media frenzy in the UK, with the UK Mainstream Media sensationalizing the story and claiming the incident was a Nuclear Weapons accident which nearly started World War 3, which was the reason for the cover up. However Russian TV (NTV) poured scorn on these over inflated claims, in an evening news report tracking down former Soviet Submarine sailors to tell their story. Naming the Soviet submarine as the Victor 1 Class K306 attack submarine. and that the collision was actually a rather minor shunt with no nuclear reactor or weapons damaged. What is apparent from the present day Russian TV news feature and from the wording of the CIA report, is that the collision took place deep inside British sovereign territory, on the Firth of Clyde, opposite the town of Greenock and just 20 miles from Scotland's largest city Glasgow. It therefore represented the most egregious breach of UK territory by the Soviet Armed Forces during the entire Cold War. Which was only disclosed due to the accidental underwater collision. This video visits the scene 50 years later, and seeks to piece together the full story of the 1974 Clyde Soviet Victor Crash from all the media noise, and hypothetically examines the possible covert activity and espionage that may have compromised the USS James Madison's departure date. Also I look at the political tensions in 1974 between the US and UK that affected the decisions afterwards, And why neither the US or British Governments will discuss the incident even today.
