Re: New find
Cool!
The sinking is at the end, it is a male scene. At first it looks like there is going to be nothing but an off-camera sink, but in the last minute some guys go explore the bog equipped with ropes and one voluntarily walks into a deep spot and sinks himself under.

Re: New find
What is said during that sinking scene could be interesting for discussion, so I'll try to give an accurate (almost literal) translation of what the narrator says:
[Just before he steps in]
"He does not yet know how dangerous this spot really is."
[entering, sinking down rapidly]
"And then it happens. Suddenly there is no more hold. Worse yet, even swimming motions do not help."
[down to his shoulders and going deeper]
"But as yet his colleague shall not get him out, maybe he still succeeds at working himself up again."
[gone under]
"This moor is really stronger. Without help he would not have a chance now."
[being pulled out]
"So, also then 2000 years ago, the girl of Windeby* would have gone under, if it really had been driven into the moor - maybe as punishment for sodomy."
* reference to one of the corpses this documentary is about

Re: New find
This guy must've been weighted down. Otherwise, he should have reached a buoyancy point. Or was he doing a "pull down" motion that we simply couldn't see?

Re: New find
gamwam is right. There are many variables that go into determining where a body stops sinking. In a peat bog like that it can get less dense toward the bottom and that changes the dynamics substantially. Add the increased muscle mass of a male body and it was totally plausible to me.
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for over 20 years. Thank you.
