I actually was on a cruise that left from the east coast of the USA (I think it was New York City or Baltimore but I can’t remember). We sailed right through hurricane Irene and I remember it being a blast since I was a kid haha. The ship would dip crazy low and you’d feel completely weightless as it went down, and then it would go back up and you’d feel like you weighed a thousand pounds. My siblings and I jumped up entire staircases when the ship was on its way down lol. Half of the ship was completely seasick though so that must’ve been awful for them, but for us we don’t get seasick so it ended up being fun!
The Costa Concordia sank because the captain violated company and nautical rules by sailing too close to the coastline known for its dangerous, rock laden shoreline, so that he could show off to friends on shore. He was also one of the first to flee the ship hours before as his crew rescued the passengers with a minimum loss of life. I believe that he went to prison for that one.
Some more context: Since the Maître D's (Sister?) relative was on the island the captain was trying to be nice to him and got closer than he should. Edit: This is more of a theory maybe but, it could be a reason for how he got a bit closer.
there were no company rules about that and carnival costas parent company had no rules about deviating from the route in fact they encouraged saluting which boosted sales and aprooval isnt required to deviate less than 15 miles from route and yes he did get closer than he should but jacob rusli bin (helmsman) didnt understand orders from the captain and got 700 meters closer to the shore and when they were steering near the rock captain sad midhip but the helmsman kept turning.
It's also worth noting that the Costa Concordia is kind of a bad example for demonstrating the safety of modern cruise ships, as she was in water only 46 feet deep, so she couldn't completely sink even if the hull were cut open bow to stern. Rescuers had over 24 hours because she was just left sticking up out of the water; she'd already "sank" as far as she could sink.
Your explanation of the Costa Concordia sinking was so far from fact. Nobody "rushed" to get people off the boat. They actually lied for hours about what was going on, it was a giant mess of mismanagement.
Also the costa never fully sank. It was too shallow. the disaster would have been for worse if it was in the middle of the ocean. Someone onboard could have jumped off and swam to shore.
@@Xadius it was though also very close to a giant shelf that the boat basically sat on. If it was even 100 feet farther out into the water it would’ve been much much worse.
Fact: If you ever go on a Disney cruise, in the unlikely event you fall overboard, a sensor system will alert the captain so they can dispatch lifesaving equipment to you and hopefully bring you back into the ship.
The Costa Concordia hit the bottom of the sea and because of that it didn't completely sank. There was still a lot of people on board when that happened. Also rescue was right there since it was close to the land. It would be a much worse catastrophe if it happened in the middle of nowhere. The Titanic was in the middle of the Atlantic with the seafloor almost 4000 meters bellow it. Without any rescue nearby (there is a theory that there was a ship near but for a number of reasons it ignored the distress signal). And the water was extremely cold, quickly killing a lot of people of hypothermia. Ocean liners are actuality faster and better at handling bad weather. It is just that they don't make economical sense anymore, airplanes does a much better job of crossing oceans.
@KazaarTV yep. The height of the cut made to the ship too Most ships have chambers that can flood and still keep the ship afloat. But because that hole made by the iceberg was too high the water began flooding regular floors. Tilting the ship as you mentioned
I almost wonder if we could model the safety of ocean travel by the sinkings of container ships. Model each container ship as holding 3000-5000 hypothetical passengers and assume a 3-5 hour evacuation period, and, based on the actual time for the ship to sink, model the approximate number of deaths. Then we could see how safe sea travel would be if airplanes didn't exist.
5:31 3000 feet is quite long of a hole for a ship with a length of 800 feet. Also the damage caused by the collision was several smaller gaps opening up no more than a few inches between the hull plates. The longest gap was around 50 feet. If the damage would have been a 300 ft long hole in the ship, it would have sank in minutes, likely killing everyone on board, not over the course of 2 hours and 40 minutes.
It was 12 inches, the iceberg tore a hole 12 inches which caused the rivets to pop off, causing water to flow, Robert Ballerd, the man who found the Titanic saw the damage
@@user-tk9dz2kb4c It was, but 300 feet long is still asinine, that's almost half the boat, it struck a berg around 11:30Pm, and it would've been underwater entirely, within the hour.
The Costa Concordia didn’t sink slowly due to its design at all. The only reason it sank slowly is because it ran aground and came to rest on it’s side (which made normal lifeboat usage impossible). Also the hole in the side of the ship was 160 ft not 16 ft. I got this all off wikipedia in about 10 minutes. Do your research guys.
This is so true. The comments seem to all focus on the video leaving out the captains conduct but that doesn't really matter when they talk about Concordia being reliable. The truth is they were very lucky and the ship arually never sank. If the bottom would have been just a little bit deeper we would have seen a titanic loss of life.
I was on a cruise the week Hurricane Ian was hitting Florida, and the water was CRAZY rough. Even the crew, who sailed for months at a time, year after year, were struggling to balance and keep their stomachs in check. Passengers threw up in main areas. It was bad. But, not once, did it feel dangerous. And even after all of that, I’m still going again soon lol
@@edgars6081 felt like I was gonna roll off the bed at some points. Saw a video of a Royal Caribbean ship that was next to us the whole time and their water was splashing out of the pools. They were a much smaller ship though

At time index 5:32 the Titanic receives a hole of 300 feet in narration and 3,000 feet in the graphics. That's pretty impressive for a ship that's only 883 feet long.

Similar situation but I wasn't scared tbh seemed like the ship handled it well. Items were flying around everywhere poops were emptying etc. I remember walling around pretty much diagonally because the ship was tilted that far but it didn't sink.

Been partially in this situation and can confirm. Coming back on the Atlantic side of the Caribbean and it was rough! Not stormy, just real windy and nasty waves. But even out on deck...you barely felt it. You could see the water in the on deck pools certainly smashing back and forth...but you really didn't feel too much back and forth.
1:33 this line is quite disputable, as cruise ships cant withstand nearly as much rough weather as ocean liners, as cruise ships are built for crusing near coasts and relatively calm weather, while ocean liners are built for the worst of storms. Also, most modern cruise ships dont travel as fast as even the titanic. cruise ships and ocean liner really cant be compared fairly, as they are built for different uses and circumstances.
@@ninjasquirrels there's sooo much to do. It's literally a city on the sea. Bars. Restaurants. Clubs. Pools. Casinos. Stores. Etc etc. People underestimate how large they are. It's an amazing time
5:30 So the iceberg ripped a hole around the entire hull and credited the White star line with 1,400' of rip to use at a later date? Or was it a, "Use it or lose it", situation, one that forced the iceberg to make 1 full lap around the ship, then go an additional 7/8 of the way around? 6:16 300' and 16' aren't even in the realm of similar, not to mention one ship was in the coastal shallows(approx. 45' deep), the other was in the middle of the Atlantic(approx. 12,400' deep). the situations you're trying to compare aren't comparable. The Titanic took 3 hours to completely sink. The Costa Concordia didn't completely sink at all. It actually sat above water for 2.5 years, before being re-floated and towed away to be scrapped. If the ships swapped accident locations, the stories tied to the ships swap respectively. The results of both collisions were determined by the location, the ship is basically irrelevant. This channel used to do better. The constant conflicting statements and simple errors that could have been easily caught and fixed are consistently becoming more common.
This is true. The Costa Concordia ended up resting on a shallow part off the coast of the island of Giglio. Also, everyone had massive luck that the winds actually blew the Concordia towards the shore instead of away. Although, even with those facts in mind, a huge part of this catastrophe was the Captain Francesco Schettino. The man waited multiple hours until he told the passengers to evacuate the vessel. Then, when he did, he embarked a Lifeboat with many of the passengers still onboard! He told the prosecutors later that he "slipped" into a lifeboat. The captain is forced to remain on the bridge until all passengers have been rescued. When he got back on land, he didn't try to get back on board, he just watched the rescue efforts do their job.
Also The SS Eastland. (passenger ship) July 24, 1915. 844 casualties, more than Titanic. She capsized in the Chicago river as she just started to set off. She was very top heavy.
I feel as if this doesn’t represent ocean liners fairly. Ocean liners had a lot more to do with speed rather confert. Also they were much older and cruise ships of today still rock in heavy seas
Would love to see a mini documentary about MS Estonia after this! Would fit perfectly with its dark history and hidden reason about what happend to the ship
I was just on a cruise that got rerouted due to hurricane Ian. We hit some rough water but nothing major. My cabin was towards the front of the ship so we did notice a little movement up and down, but honestly it helped me sleep better.
Yea, you didn't know? The Iceberg ripped a hole that went around the entire ship almost 3 times. That's how it was almost 3 times longer than the entirety of the ship. 😁
You confuse the purpose of an ocean liner vs a cruise ship. A cruise ship can’t keep up on a regular schedule across the Atlantic through all weather conditions. It simply wouldn’t be able to do that without delays. The QM2 has a far better hull coefficient than any cruise ship out there as well. Since this is one of the shorter videos; I’ll still give it a 4/5 stars since the graphics are still on point.
It was a mix of neglect, miscommuncation, compliance and denial of the situtation, but yeah.. the fact that Schettino did a runner didn't help his case. But the others had targets on their backs for their mistakes
@@PaiviProject Simply curious if the cruises occurred during the colder months, if my inquiry caused distress, please accept my apology. In the military, I remember, the winter added a far harder dimension.
I was on the Carnival Destiny leaving Miami the year it came out, which was about 25 years ago when we collided with a large fishing vessel during diner. It was hardly noticeable. We stopped for the coast guard to investigate and clear us. At the 1st port of call I looked for damage and all that there was is pain transfer that they were already in the process of painting over.
Cruise ships are not safer than ships like Queen Mary 2. The Queen Mary is specifically designed for rough sea expected in mid Ocean, something Cruise ships are not primarily designed for.
Ironic how he asked “what do we know about what went wrong aboard titanic”, then proceeded to explain how it sank in basically the opposite way to reality 😂 Apart from that, banging good video as always 👌
As someone who lives and works on a cruise ship, I can confirm a lot of the ‘facts’ in this video are untrue and poorly researched. Also most of the fatalities on the Concordia were due to the crew not being prepared to deal with emergency and so allowed passengers to use elevators during the emergency, resulting in them being trapped and drowning inside the shafts.
I returned home from France to NYC on the QE2 in 1981. It was mid September and we got caught in a hurricane. It was very heavy winds but it didn’t affect the ship other than a very mild “swaying” -- it was still a bit frightening.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe most newer theories and data believe that titanic‘s damage was much more likely to be separations in the seems of the plating on the hull. It wasn’t that massive gas in the hull that was previous believed to be true. It was instead lots of relatively small sections of damage
So you don't understand the Titanic at all, then. For one the unsinkable quote is taken out of context from this: "she is as unsinkable as we can make a ship." And she was - she could stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached. The iceberg happened to open up 6. As for the lifeboats... There were enough lifeboats by the time's standards. Before Titanic, lifeboats were not meant for evacuating whole ships. No one thought of them like that. They were meant for ferrying. It was never expected for there not to be another ship close enough to take on the sinking ship's passengers. Titanic set the standard for having enough lifeboats for everybody. Many more lives would have been saved if the distress rockets were sent out correctly by Titanic, as the Californian was close enough but wasn't receiving radio (the radio guy had gone to bed) and had no idea the titanic was in trouble like that. Many more lives also would have been saved if more people initially got on the lifeboats. Many unfilled ones were lowered because people didn't want to board them. Not everyone would have been saved but if you're going to point out the lifeboats please just be honest about why it didn't have them
A few months ago I was boarding a smaller charter boat and I got to witness my first cruise ship up close and personal docked beside us, I’ve always seen them out in the bay or on the horizon, I knew the were big but I hadn’t really experienced just how massive they are The ship I was boarding had 6 passenger decks, a full casino, dance floor, bars, a restaurant etc And it was absolutely minuscule in comparison, the highest point on the charter boat was about 1/3 the height of the lowest railing on the cruise ship.
The Costa Concordia lost power from flooding in open water. If not for the wind that night, the ship would not have beached onto the rocks where it capsized. It would have completely sunk, with potentially far more fatal results.
The Costa Concordia sank not because of technical error, but human error. The captain sailed a little to close to the island to impress his girlfriend (The captain was like in his late 30's) and most of the deaths were due too the people trapped in the elevators while the power went out as well as older people who fell off or just people who slipped. The captain "fell off the ship and into a lifeboat" before he knew everyone was safe and leaving people to die before being sentenced to prison. The reason it was on its side is because the captain (despite all he did) was able to steer it onto a ledge so It would not go down fully. You're welcome for nobody who asked
Wasn't he charged for that as well.i remember hear the communication where he was being told he had better get back on the ship until ALL passengers were off.i thought I remember charges being brought forward afterwards as well?
I was told when I was on a cruise that it never rains on board because if there’s a storm they just go around it. I always assumed this navigation made cruise ships a lot safer than if they didn’t navigate this way.
They try to avoid bad weather but sometimes a storm develops too quickly and the ship is forced to go through, the crew will try to go for the weaker part of any storm or hurricane but one miscalculation could have the ship getting badly damage, it already happened several times with Royal Caribbean ships.
They avoid what the ship can. Our last cruise we went over 60miles past the port, basically sat still for an hour, then went into port a few hours later, to avoid a storm system. They build in extra time, in case of route changes, when they can. Still felt a bit of rain here and there, but it’s the tropics and it’ll rain a little. It’s a fun vacation type, but its probably gonna rain.
I just got off the Wonder of the Sea and it was MASSIVE. I averaged walking about 6-8 miles a day. The size of like 4 resort hotels with a park and multiple restaurants and bars on it with a mini mall area and full sized music theater for shows
Well the Costa Concordia disaster would have been much worse if the ship drifted in deeper waters. Since the list made half the lifeboats unusable trapping hundreds of people on the ship. But because the ship was in shallow waters it did not sink fully saving all those people. While the Titanic during her sinking stood at a even keel for most of the sinking letting all her lifeboats leave the ship safely.
How exactly would a very low center of gravity lead to the ship sinking further into the water? The weight is still the same, so it should have the same draft for the same buoyancy. Also, ocean liners are actually more capable of handling a storm, because of their tall freeboard. Furthermore, comparing cruise ships to ocean liners over a century old is a bit unfair, cruise ships are only so safe because a lot of lessons were lerned from the liners. And Costa Concordia didn't even sink completely because the water was too shallow for that
I was on a cruise a little over a month ago in Mexico. Had to cancel our trip to Cabb because of a hurricane lol. We just sailed in a circle for 3 days.
Assuming you are a rainbow person, I appreciate that your group activities aren't in everyone's face. There are people of all ages, including kids and seniors, and it's respectful to everyone to keep things neutral.
I was on the wonder of the seas not too long ago. We experienced hard weather but it was barely noticeable. You could feel the floor slightly moving as if you had a mild nausea
I was once on a cruise that went through a huge storm. The winds were wailing outside and the ship was rocking very hard. I remember being in the club all night and having to walk uphill towards the bar lol. If u put ur drink down it would slide off of the table almost immediately. Luckily the crew remained very calm and assured everyone that everything was fine and to not worry.
6:30 The Costa Concordia never fully sunk, not even days or weeks after impact, because immediately after the collision capt schetino brought it into shallow waters
5:37 Research now shows that the Titanic didn't break in half until it was far below the surface due to the size and configuration of the debris field.
A few years ago there was a hurricane (force 12) in the English Channel and I happened to be there on my trip on the Aida Sol. The doors to the outer decks were locked and we were unable to call at our port due to the storm so we had to stay at sea and wait. It was uncomfortable and the ship swayed a lot. When eating, the glasses and plates fell off the table and many people were in their cabins because they became visually impaired. It wasn't exactly pleasant, but when you consider that it was a hurricane and that we would probably have capsized on an older ship, it's nothing compared to that.
I was going to say this is titanic in nutshell but you explained it pretty well but though there are no ships in the world that are unsinkable according to me, plus we only have discovered very little of the ocean so anything is possible.
My wife and I went on a cruise from Galveston, Texas to the Yucatan Peninsula in 2019 - we were in an outside cabin at the lowest deck almost to the very aft port side. There was a pretty good wind storm that cranked up while we were on the way back to the U.S. and the water was battering our cabin window for most of the trip - the ship herself was very stable riding quite well over the wind and waves - occasionally bucking slightly...
Never call a ship "impossible to sink", if the ocean gets the chance to drag a ship to the depths, be it a small boat or a cruise ship, it will. You saw what happened to concordia.
My first ever cruise was with carnival in 1986 and we hit a very bad storm, on our way back to Miami, in the Carribean and everybody got seasick. I went outside and it was pouring rain and very windy.
I believe Lusitania was serving as a troop ship during war time hence she was sunk by an enemy military vessel, cruise ships today doesn't seem capable of such role so I think it's highly unlikely that they would become a military target.
Lusitania was not serving as a troop ship. She was in regular passenger service but likely carried ammunitions in her cargo holds, painting a target on her.
Modern cruise ships could easily be pressed into service as hospital ships, but they would not be valid targets for that reason. We'd be a lot less forgiving of an accidental sinking with today's modern weaponry though.
I went on a few cruises with my family years ago as a kid. I hated it every time. But only because of the tiny bedrooms and the lack of TV and wifi. If you ignore that stuff it’s a nice experience. The food was always great and there were a ton of enjoyable activities to do. Cruises are essentially just fancy vacation resorts in the middle of the ocean. If you’re the kind of person that likes to sit back at the pool instead of going sightseeing on a regular vacation, a cruise can be a nice experience.
Taking a cruise with only a thousand people on board the ship is awesome!! Feels like you practically have the whole thing to yourself. That's what was so wonderful about cruising when the industry first restarted after the Covid-19 lock down. Sadly, now it's almost back to full capacity but the flip side is ALL the ships are back sailing.

Been partially in this situation and can confirm. Coming back on the Atlantic side of the Caribbean and it was rough! Not stormy, just real windy and nasty waves. But even out on deck...you barely felt it. You could see the water in the on deck pools certainly smashing back and forth...but you really didn't feel too much back and forth.
1:33
this line is quite disputable, as cruise ships cant withstand nearly as much rough weather as ocean liners, as cruise ships are built for crusing near coasts and relatively calm weather, while ocean liners are built for the worst of storms. Also, most modern cruise ships dont travel as fast as even the titanic. cruise ships and ocean liner really cant be compared fairly, as they are built for different uses and circumstances.
Yeah that video was pretty bad information wise.
Exactly my reply also where these crazy idea come from who knows
I’ve never had a desire to go on a cruise ship. Curious to hear about other peoples experiences
On one right now. It's ok.
We’re going on one after the new year…feel like there won’t be anything for me to do, maybe read a book in the cabin or something?

So the iceberg ripped a hole around the entire hull and credited the White star line with 1,400' of rip to use at a later date? Or was it a, "Use it or lose it", situation, one that forced the iceberg to make 1 full lap around the ship, then go an additional 7/8 of the way around?
6:16
300' and 16' aren't even in the realm of similar, not to mention one ship was in the coastal shallows(approx. 45' deep), the other was in the middle of the Atlantic(approx. 12,400' deep). the situations you're trying to compare aren't comparable. The Titanic took 3 hours to completely sink. The Costa Concordia didn't completely sink at all. It actually sat above water for 2.5 years, before being re-floated and towed away to be scrapped.
If the ships swapped accident locations, the stories tied to the ships swap respectively. The results of both collisions were determined by the location, the ship is basically irrelevant.
This channel used to do better. The constant conflicting statements and simple errors that could have been easily caught and fixed are consistently becoming more common.
This is true. The Costa Concordia ended up resting on a shallow part off the coast of the island of Giglio. Also, everyone had massive luck that the winds actually blew the Concordia towards the shore instead of away. Although, even with those facts in mind, a huge part of this catastrophe was the Captain Francesco Schettino. The man waited multiple hours until he told the passengers to evacuate the vessel. Then, when he did, he embarked a Lifeboat with many of the passengers still onboard! He told the prosecutors later that he "slipped" into a lifeboat. The captain is forced to remain on the bridge until all passengers have been rescued. When he got back on land, he didn't try to get back on board, he just watched the rescue efforts do their job.
Coasta Concordia be like : am I a joke to you?

And these are just the biggest ones....
There was also the Lusitania in 1915.
Most of the ships you listed are ocean liners, not cruise ships. They are built differently and served different purposes.
Also The SS Eastland. (passenger ship) July 24, 1915. 844 casualties, more than Titanic. She capsized in the Chicago river as she just started to set off. She was very top heavy.
If you watched the video, it clearly says that those are ocean liner class ships. Not cruise ships.
Half are ocean liners
I feel as if this doesn’t represent ocean liners fairly. Ocean liners had a lot more to do with speed rather confert. Also they were much older and cruise ships of today still rock in heavy seas
Would love to see a mini documentary about MS Estonia after this! Would fit perfectly with its dark history and hidden reason about what happend to the ship
I was just on a cruise that got rerouted due to hurricane Ian. We hit some rough water but nothing major. My cabin was towards the front of the ship so we did notice a little movement up and down, but honestly it helped me sleep better.
Same here, we had a south east Caribbean like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, ended up going to Mexico and didn't feel anything to crazy
Yea, you didn't know? The Iceberg ripped a hole that went around the entire ship almost 3 times. That's how it was almost 3 times longer than the entirety of the ship. 😁
It's weird being on a cruise when this is posted
Well you won't sink unless your captain is a coward!
You confuse the purpose of an ocean liner vs a cruise ship. A cruise ship can’t keep up on a regular schedule across the Atlantic through all weather conditions. It simply wouldn’t be able to do that without delays. The QM2 has a far better hull coefficient than any cruise ship out there as well. Since this is one of the shorter videos; I’ll still give it a 4/5 stars since the graphics are still on point.
The reason for the Costa Concordia was negligence on the part of the crew
Particularly the captain
Still sank didn’t it… and if it hadn’t have been seesawing on that underwater cliff it would’ve outright sank there and then
It was a mix of neglect, miscommuncation, compliance and denial of the situtation, but yeah.. the fact that Schettino did a runner didn't help his case. But the others had targets on their backs for their mistakes
Wow. This is good to know. I used to go cruises between Finland and Sweden quite often back in the day ❤
During what months of the year?
@@JonBrown-po7he Does it matter ? Those boats run all year.
@@PaiviProject Simply curious if the cruises occurred during the colder months, if my inquiry caused distress, please accept my apology. In the military, I remember, the winter added a far harder dimension.
I was on the Carnival Destiny leaving Miami the year it came out, which was about 25 years ago when we collided with a large fishing vessel during diner. It was hardly noticeable. We stopped for the coast guard to investigate and clear us. At the 1st port of call I looked for damage and all that there was is pain transfer that they were already in the process of painting over.
I got a cruise next month. My first one. This video made me feel better lol
Which cruise ship is it?
It is not a Disney one.
Cruise ships are not safer than ships like Queen Mary 2. The Queen Mary is specifically designed for rough sea expected in mid Ocean, something Cruise ships are not primarily designed for.
"Why Cruiseships don't sink"
Titanic: „Hold my iceberg“
Titanic isn’t a cruise ship though.
POV that iceberg came back : more ships for me time too proof this cruise ships aren’t sturdy
Ironic how he asked “what do we know about what went wrong aboard titanic”, then proceeded to explain how it sank in basically the opposite way to reality 😂
Apart from that, banging good video as always 👌
You provide me with so much information
As someone who lives and works on a cruise ship, I can confirm a lot of the ‘facts’ in this video are untrue and poorly researched.
Also most of the fatalities on the Concordia were due to the crew not being prepared to deal with emergency and so allowed passengers to use elevators during the emergency, resulting in them being trapped and drowning inside the shafts.
I returned home from France to NYC on the QE2 in 1981. It was mid September and we got caught in a hurricane. It was very heavy winds but it didn’t affect the ship other than a very mild “swaying” -- it was still a bit frightening.
I remember the term "unsinkable ship" being used with another ship...
Is it the one I'm thinking of with the Great Lakes? Edmund Fitzgerald?
Thanks for this video! I always wondered how they stayed so sturdy on rough oceans 🌊
Could have been 30 seconds long
@@engineeringvision9507 no it can not be that short he wouldn't have enough information
@@mrdgamesrl It contains very little information
@@engineeringvision9507 That's is debatable, I find it very informative
4:41 NO, ships NEVER stop when in a storm. They need constant propulsion to keep the bow pointed at the waves or else it may capsize
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe most newer theories and data believe that titanic‘s damage was much more likely to be separations in the seems of the plating on the hull. It wasn’t that massive gas in the hull that was previous believed to be true. It was instead lots of relatively small sections of damage
Love the way your segments are presented.....witty but informative. Thank you.
I love your content keep up the great work 👍
Reminds me of titanic
Nice seeing this video while on a cruise! Shout out to Royal Caribbean, Radiance of the Seas👍
So you don't understand the Titanic at all, then.
For one the unsinkable quote is taken out of context from this: "she is as unsinkable as we can make a ship." And she was - she could stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached. The iceberg happened to open up 6. As for the lifeboats... There were enough lifeboats by the time's standards. Before Titanic, lifeboats were not meant for evacuating whole ships. No one thought of them like that. They were meant for ferrying. It was never expected for there not to be another ship close enough to take on the sinking ship's passengers. Titanic set the standard for having enough lifeboats for everybody. Many more lives would have been saved if the distress rockets were sent out correctly by Titanic, as the Californian was close enough but wasn't receiving radio (the radio guy had gone to bed) and had no idea the titanic was in trouble like that. Many more lives also would have been saved if more people initially got on the lifeboats. Many unfilled ones were lowered because people didn't want to board them. Not everyone would have been saved but if you're going to point out the lifeboats please just be honest about why it didn't have them
I have been on 9 cruises all a blast so much fun to meet people and do stuff on the ship
small edit at 5:40 audio says 300 ft, visual says 3,000 ft
A few months ago I was boarding a smaller charter boat and I got to witness my first cruise ship up close and personal docked beside us, I’ve always seen them out in the bay or on the horizon, I knew the were big but I hadn’t really experienced just how massive they are
The ship I was boarding had 6 passenger decks, a full casino, dance floor, bars, a restaurant etc
And it was absolutely minuscule in comparison, the highest point on the charter boat was about 1/3 the height of the lowest railing on the cruise ship.
The Costa Concordia lost power from flooding in open water. If not for the wind that night, the ship would not have beached onto the rocks where it capsized. It would have completely sunk, with potentially far more fatal results.
The Costa Concordia sank not because of technical error, but human error. The captain sailed a little to close to the island to impress his girlfriend (The captain was like in his late 30's) and most of the deaths were due too the people trapped in the elevators while the power went out as well as older people who fell off or just people who slipped. The captain "fell off the ship and into a lifeboat" before he knew everyone was safe and leaving people to die before being sentenced to prison. The reason it was on its side is because the captain (despite all he did) was able to steer it onto a ledge so It would not go down fully. You're welcome for nobody who asked
Wasn't he charged for that as well.i remember hear the communication where he was being told he had better get back on the ship until ALL passengers were off.i thought I remember charges being brought forward afterwards as well?
@@CoupmalaThaThroatGodYeah he was charged for killing 31 people
But not life, I think like 20 years
Not exactly what happened. I know one of the survivor and I know well all the story behind. A lot of information spreaded online are not real
the anxiety i got going through storms on ships is unmatched
I love The Infrographics Show!!!
The Die-tanic?!? 😂 5:20
I was told when I was on a cruise that it never rains on board because if there’s a storm they just go around it. I always assumed this navigation made cruise ships a lot safer than if they didn’t navigate this way.
it definitely rains on cruise ships.
They try to avoid bad weather but sometimes a storm develops too quickly and the ship is forced to go through, the crew will try to go for the weaker part of any storm or hurricane but one miscalculation could have the ship getting badly damage, it already happened several times with Royal Caribbean ships.
They avoid what the ship can. Our last cruise we went over 60miles past the port, basically sat still for an hour, then went into port a few hours later, to avoid a storm system. They build in extra time, in case of route changes, when they can. Still felt a bit of rain here and there, but it’s the tropics and it’ll rain a little. It’s a fun vacation type, but its probably gonna rain.
I just got off the Wonder of the Sea and it was MASSIVE. I averaged walking about 6-8 miles a day. The size of like 4 resort hotels with a park and multiple restaurants and bars on it with a mini mall area and full sized music theater for shows
Well the Costa Concordia disaster would have been much worse if the ship drifted in deeper waters.
Since the list made half the lifeboats unusable trapping hundreds of people on the ship.
But because the ship was in shallow waters it did not sink fully saving all those people.
While the Titanic during her sinking stood at a even keel for most of the sinking letting all her lifeboats leave the ship safely.
Currently watching this on a cruise. thank you infographics show.
I'm on a cruise right now and I feel much safer since it will never sink 😀

are you ok now
The Bridge of The Americas in Panama has a height limit of 201 feet, which means the largest cruise ships are too tall to fit underneath it.
That's why they ya know cruise...
How exactly would a very low center of gravity lead to the ship sinking further into the water? The weight is still the same, so it should have the same draft for the same buoyancy.
Also, ocean liners are actually more capable of handling a storm, because of their tall freeboard.
Furthermore, comparing cruise ships to ocean liners over a century old is a bit unfair, cruise ships are only so safe because a lot of lessons were lerned from the liners.
And Costa Concordia didn't even sink completely because the water was too shallow for that
5:30 says 300 but the screens shows 3000 feet lol
I was checking to see if someone mentioned that. 3,000 foot hole! No wonder it sank.
Yeah a hole x4 larger then the entire ship. No wonder it sunk 🤣

"Why cruise ships dont sink"
The Costa Concordia: *Hello*
I was on the wonder of the seas not too long ago. We experienced hard weather but it was barely noticeable. You could feel the floor slightly moving as if you had a mild nausea
What I am most worried about is in the event of a rogue wave! The Poseidon adventure?
We don't sink, we engage in a special submerging type of operation
We promote the ship to submarine
I was once on a cruise that went through a huge storm. The winds were wailing outside and the ship was rocking very hard. I remember being in the club all night and having to walk uphill towards the bar lol. If u put ur drink down it would slide off of the table almost immediately. Luckily the crew remained very calm and assured everyone that everything was fine and to not worry.
6:30 The Costa Concordia never fully sunk, not even days or weeks after impact, because immediately after the collision capt schetino brought it into shallow waters
He didn't bring it onto shallow waters, they were lucky the wind blew the ship toward land. He couldn't even have done it as his engines had no power.

The titanic rn: 💀
A few years ago there was a hurricane (force 12) in the English Channel and I happened to be there on my trip on the Aida Sol. The doors to the outer decks were locked and we were unable to call at our port due to the storm so we had to stay at sea and wait. It was uncomfortable and the ship swayed a lot. When eating, the glasses and plates fell off the table and many people were in their cabins because they became visually impaired. It wasn't exactly pleasant, but when you consider that it was a hurricane and that we would probably have capsized on an older ship, it's nothing compared to that.
Wy would you probably console on a older ship? That makes no sense at all.
I was going to say this is titanic in nutshell but you explained it pretty well but though there are no ships in the world that are unsinkable according to me, plus we only have discovered very little of the ocean so anything is possible.
My wife and I went on a cruise from Galveston, Texas to the Yucatan Peninsula in 2019 - we were in an outside cabin at the lowest deck almost to the very aft port side. There was a pretty good wind storm that cranked up while we were on the way back to the U.S. and the water was battering our cabin window for most of the trip - the ship herself was very stable riding quite well over the wind and waves - occasionally bucking slightly...
Never call a ship "impossible to sink", if the ocean gets the chance to drag a ship to the depths, be it a small boat or a cruise ship, it will.
You saw what happened to concordia.
Love how the iceberg hit was twice the length of the ship lol

3:24 “nothing ruins a cruise ship faster than it toppling over onto its side”
Kurt Russel will agree
Cruise ships are now well-equipped with safety features.
And have enough life boats.
The Costa Concordia sank primarily due to operator error, and the loss of life stemmed from poor leadership after it started to sink.
Costa Concordia:BRO Poseidon: I HATE YOU
At the Costa Concordia disaster, it was only the fault of the captain and the officers are also responsible. It has to be mentioned.
Other than algebra, I can certainly say infographic show has taught/informed me more than school, in less time too @ that !
I believe Lusitania was serving as a troop ship during war time hence she was sunk by an enemy military vessel, cruise ships today doesn't seem capable of such role so I think it's highly unlikely that they would become a military target.
Lusitania was not serving as a troop ship. She was in regular passenger service but likely carried ammunitions in her cargo holds, painting a target on her.
@@davidklande I stand corrected, thank for the info.
Modern cruise ships could easily be pressed into service as hospital ships, but they would not be valid targets for that reason. We'd be a lot less forgiving of an accidental sinking with today's modern weaponry though.

Now do one, why would anyone want to take a cruise with a thousand people on a ship? I’d love to hear an explanation
As in.....1k is too many or too few people? Most cruise ships have several thousand people.....1 k would be a SMALL ship with only a few amenities.
Flashy advertising, cheapish deals, convincing language, religion and age. Those are the only reasons i know
I went on a few cruises with my family years ago as a kid. I hated it every time. But only because of the tiny bedrooms and the lack of TV and wifi. If you ignore that stuff it’s a nice experience. The food was always great and there were a ton of enjoyable activities to do.
Cruises are essentially just fancy vacation resorts in the middle of the ocean.
If you’re the kind of person that likes to sit back at the pool instead of going sightseeing on a regular vacation, a cruise can be a nice experience.
Because it is fun🎉
Taking a cruise with only a thousand people on board the ship is awesome!! Feels like you practically have the whole thing to yourself. That's what was so wonderful about cruising when the industry first restarted after the Covid-19 lock down. Sadly, now it's almost back to full capacity but the flip side is ALL the ships are back sailing.
