Mad Thanks for your very interesting video. I wish it were longer. Your verbal summary of the follow-up discussion would be a teaching moment for all of us. Are there past incidents used by the staff for training? Perhaps you could review, indicating what to do and what not to do. Maybe Sal M can jump in as a professor.
Very good stuff. Keeps you on your toes when they make it go from bad to worse almost as fast as you can think about the last complication. Great training. Well at least the pirates did not try to board in the middle of all that! Thanks Madeleine, very interesting, as all your ship and shore content always is.
Can't speak for ships, but in airplanes it depends on the training and proficiency of the crew. When I did a summer on a submarine in ROTC, we ran 3 engineering drills a day, and at least one involved fire. The crew was very proficient and calm, cool, and collected.
@@major__kong Yes, but those too were drills. What I meant is when simultaneously the ship really has a major fire, passengers are really burning and jumping overboard, possibly with serious burns, potentially drowning, a cruise ship is coming dangerously close and could ram your vessel, with people in the water, wind is pushing you towards a sandbank (and whatever else was going on in the scenario). Does the bridge crew really stay calm? Is that part of the training, so things don't get even worse? I imagine that must be difficult and demand quite a bit of self-discipline.
It very much depends on personality type, in my opinion. There are people who handle things well and people who don't, and they exist in every industry. You never know who you're gonna be or who you're gonna get until the shit truly hits the fan. These scenarios are designed to make you "more comfortable" in expecting the worst, but they'll never totally match up against the real thing
Learned something new today. 2 shots called when putting out the anchor is a measurement of length. So 2 shots would be 2 fathom or roughly 180 feet. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Close! A shot is 15 fathoms and 90 feet. A fathom is 6 feet. So correct on the 2 shots being 180 feet. We always speak in shots when talking about anchor chain length.
Is there a common vernacular? You condensed the time, but there seemed to be a lack of acknowledgement in initial communication. How did the review process go?
The repetition of commands is the acknowledgement. I may have edited out some, or the mic didn't catch all of it. The review is always good. Much to learn and reiterate always
I have a question that might betray my newcomer status to this topic. As I watched a cruise ship navigate so seamlessly on the screen, I couldn't help but draw parallels to flight simulators. Is this experience akin to a virtual training ground for shiphandling? By the way, it was the Francis Scott Key incident that led me back to your channel. Your name struck a chord as I recalled reading about you in the Wall Street Journal. Interestingly, just the other day, I found myself at Des Moines Beach, surrounded by thoughts of Vashon Island. It wasn't until the recent bridge collision that it all clicked - you're the familiar face from that captivating channel.

We had a good little security scenario in one of the other days. Fun stuff!
Pretty spicy exercise. Thanks for the demo.
👍
Very interesting. Do the people on the bridge stay that calm in a real world emergency?

In B4 Madeline starts a training video production company
We're well on the way 🤓

Passenger liner? Remaining calm must be hard,wow! Did you reverse engines to slow?
Any time you see my hand on the center console, I'm working the engines (twin screw). Apologies on the lack of info input on that 👍
No apologies expected! BZ!@@m.leinewolczko
Hell when it rains ya can really get shit on 😂😂😂
Haha indeed

Indeed it is. This is what we use to train. Just much more slow moving than flight sims haha.
Yea, very sad to see the news for Baltimore.
❤ Wow EPIC ❤
🙌
Well Maddie they put you through the Wringer and a cruise-ship I hope it wasn’t the SS Gremlin. 😉
