These are without doubt the cleanest, clearest images ever retrieved from any shipwreck, irrespective of depth!
Due more to the oceanographic environment than the engineering and deep sea videography technologies employed!
12 small ventilation tubes in the bosuns store are believed to be the trigger of the disaster, the covers were knocked off by the weight of massive waves which slowly flooded her pulling the bow deeper into the ocean.
Watching anything about shipwrecks is completely frightening to me but I can't seem to stop watching them! Love your videos!
Wouldn't the fact that the Derbyshire was caught up in Typhoon Orchid on Sept. 9th, 1980 have something to do with why she sank?
Google told me it sank on sept 15 but your probably right
The covers on several small forward vents had been knocked off during the storm. Over the course of the next day or so the bowsons store in the bow of the ship slowly filled with water. As the bow started to fill with water the ship started to ride lower and lower in the water until a large wave was able to break directly onto the first hatch cover, collapsing it and filling it with thousands of tonnes of water in a matter of seconds. This dragged the ship underwater whilst a domino effect repeated up the length of the ship. This was all over in no more than 2 minutes.
@@Corey-Goodwin The ship was due in to Kawasaki on the 14th Sept so the search was started on the 15th Sept, but it almost certainly sank on the 9th September, between 09:00 and 12:00 UTC. My father was the Chief Officer, yesterday was the 40th anniversary of his death.
@@simonbayliss5338 Deepest sympathies - a terrible way to go but he didn't die in vain as a lot of lessons were learned and new regulations came into strict force because of this, ensuring better watertightness forward! Many times on ship inspections I would check this out with your father's ship and this terrible event in mind. Kind regards - Capt Wahid
@@Mehranwahid Hi, you are a marine ship captain sir?
Almost like what happened with the Thresher when it went below crush depth.
Yes they do , the Accommodation section separated from the rest of the ship due to poor design, sister ships were ether modified by strengthening that section or scrapped
Great channel
" What set off the Disaster"? Being too close to a Typhoon might have something to do with it.
What caused it? Asks the Title.....still no clue says the video! lol
If you search RUclips you can find the full documentary with the answer. It's not good, but at least the families get answers.
The question posed in the title actually asks _what tore the ship apart_ not what caused it to sink in the first place. As the video explains, the explosion was a _result_ of the sinking, not the cause of it.
Creepy
Nice videos
Can You make more plane videos?
BTW love your videos.
hai
Longer videos please
More plane video plz
Love your videos
wow
The level of destruction is worse than the Titanic's stern section.
It makes you wonder was the sound picked up on any underwater recording systems!!
Probably not. There was a typhoon raging on the surface.
brutal absolutely brutal.
A poorly built ship in a Typhoon will do the trick.
Perfect representation of my grades
Lol
44 people lost their lives and you come up with a cheap laugh.What a sad individual you are.
Implosion then Explosion 🙏🏾🙏🏾😥Damm that was extreme measures of a painful death!
I would think it would be instantaneous and painless for both the ship and crew.
Godzilla?
Nice! 😂
Clicked on this video hoping the answer was love
lol
Lol
L o l
Well you was wrong, how does that feel?
Who would win?
An enormous bull carrier
Or
Some big water
Maybe rogue wave?
ياسفينة من تكون ولمن ويا سنة هاي السفينه هل الى حرب العالمية الثانية ام تايتنك ام غير ذلك
Wait so why did the crew all die? What about life boats
So Titanic is not only ship who broke in half
You don’t say…
I wonder how many survivors there were
0:32 derp
0:25 I don't get it. Wasn't the Titanic a British vessel?
Yeah but the Dirbyshire was a bulk-carrier so was probably bigger than the Titanic.
@@petert3355 aye, MUCH bigger.
MV Derbyshire:
Length: 965 feet
Beam: 145 feet
GRT: 91655 tons
RMS Titanic:
Length: 882'9"
Beam: 92'6"
GRT: 46000 tons.
Both liverpool ships.
@@maxshelltrack9720 Both registered in Liverpool
Cthulhu
this makes the tragedy of titanic look like child's play
Love 😍😍😍😜😜😜
Lol why is the smithsonian still uploading during a government shutdown? 😂
it was British made so u know it was junk.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was American built, didn't stop her from sinking.
The MS Munchen was Belgium-built LASH container ship & owned by the German shipping company,Hapaq-Lloyd.
That disappeared in 1978 in similar circumstances,in the Atlantic,with all hands lost.
Spliffs up cost them the hatch closed, boat filled up
It just never got over the wave
Half way down
BOOM 💥
