5:37 “probably completely unaware of the massive waves headed in their direction.” Give that crew their due. They knew full well what was happening and what their captain was attempting. Japan is probably the most Tsunami educated country on the planet. The boats were trying to make it out into open water past the point where the waves brake so that they might ride over it similarly to some of the other ships in the video.
You get radio warning its heading your way, with a bit of luck you will have time to lash / secure everything on board, then you head the ship in the direction its coming from, you don't want to be hit by a huge wave on your beam or stern, common sense. and with a bit o luck you would know when it will reach you ( roughly ) i got a warning once, we were heading to Japan,, so we did all the safety stuff, cargo ship,, all crew ready, it HIT us at 3 am, bow rose up a little, couple o little pitches, up and down,,change course, off to Japan, to Clancy's Bar in KOBE !! happy daze !

The Chinese use their "fishing boats" as the first leg of their South China Sea domination plan. The other boat, is actually a Philippines Coast Guard ship in Philippine territorial waters defending against illegal Chinese fishing. Get it right.
I love the image of two huge cargo ships plowing into eachother then stopping in the middle of the ocean so the captains can exchange insurance information.
1:45 thats the NB 505 Norilks Nickel, an ice going container ship, not a classic ice breaker. In this clip we see her go bow first (forward) because there is very little ice. She can go stern first (backwards) if she actually needs to crush ice up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) thick.
It's exactly what they are doing, safest place for a boat in a tsunami is out at sea, They likely got the warning and were racing out of port as fast as possible.
Boats are better off in the deep waters during a tsunami as the waves tend to climb near the coasts, it could capsize the boat by ramming it into the docks. However, it doesn't work during a rogue wave especially during night as the crew won't have enough time to prepare.
Right I hate videos like this, that have no idea what the hell they're talking about. This little fishing boat was caught unaware, yeah then why is it the only one going out to sea wide open throttle, bow pointing towards the wave?
Unfortunately, when you cobble together a ton of other people's videos, and neither the script writer nor the voiceover actor has a clue about the subject matter, then those of your audience who DO know will spot the many, many mistakes in your commentary. Aside from the annoying hyperbole common in US documentaries, this is riddled with assumptions that are just plain wrong.
If you narrate, then please halfway properly: Chinese boat in storm: The mistake was: Taking the waves with the broadside, not the bow. If it had been the bow slightly crooked (not full front) the boat would've been finde. Probably the boat was still in a canal. Same for the Tsunami boats: They all went bow ahead, slightly crooked: They were perfectly fine. "Boats who did nothing": There is nothing they COULD to once they saw each other. Those collisions are unavoidable once a certain threshold is found. All you CAN do is to get as slow as possible. The sea is no streed and a boat has no brakes. Which is common knowledge isn't thought through: The only way a boat can stop is to reverse the engines. If they're on full speed on the ocean, it takes up to 5 miles until a boat can stop (that's the number I have memorized). Even if the ocean is flat: You most likely won't spot another cargo ship until you're under the threshold for a safe stop. And no, changing the way to go won't help either - ship's too fast to make a difference. To minimize the damage, get head on, least amount of speed possible and be ready to take in the crew and fill out the insurance paperwork.
5:35 They are fully aware of the wave, we can see black smoke coming out of their funnels, they're going full throttle toward the wave because it's the safest way to deal with a tsunami so close to the shore.
2:39 Industrial tech grad/ Draftsman/ designer here bridges are designed to support vertical dynamic forces. so a lateral force such as the one exerted by this vessel would have an easy time pushing the bridge over as they are not designed to support lateral forces. tldr: bridges are weak to lateral forces
Well seeing as boats don't helm themselves yet a lot has to do with people's stupidity and lack of proper maintenance of said vessel most of the time there are those outliers tho
@@Alloneword-cp2xw because the sky has "lanes" - in 3D. Fixed heights and fixed routes especially around the airports. Planes don't have radar, the ground station has. And they're handling the traffic. One mistake here and the plane is the main character in "Mayday".
@@Tantejay One mistake, and that can happen on the ground. Sam from the Rebuild Rescue RUclips channel died about a week ago in a Grumman Cougar on takeoff. The plane had been rushed through maintenance and repair after a dual prop strike curled the tips of the twin props, and it had been sitting since the incident. The NTSB prelim report released yesterday found water and particulate contamination in the right fuel tank, and the filler cap on the top of the wing was missing the rubber gasket. The plane had been moved out of the hangar and was parked outside for several days apparently and either rain or condensation let water and dirt get into the tank. The investigators reported that Sam told ground crew that he was in a hurry and demanded to know why the fuel truck was delayed. He apparently filled his tanks, failed to check for water, took off, started to lose power on the right engine and then it died. The plane will fly, even climb, on one engine, but you have to feather the prop on the dead engine and he did not have altitude to recover.
Collisions and mistakes... And then most videos isn't about that. You even show a small boat video and say, there fast thinking and teamwork saved there lives. Wtf??? Biggest ship mistakes??? You must be RUclips's biggest mistake.
11:49 Imagine the rescue guy's POV...your life is in the pilot's hands...you're descending towards a ship violently tossing in the water. Suddenly the waves throw the ship towards you, your life flashes before your eyes as you prepare for an impact when the pilot pulls on the stick with all his might and you narrowly miss getting smacked by a giant ship while hanging from a heli. God gave you second chance at life. Insane courage!!
Love watching the ice breakers at work. Years ago, somewhere between 1988-1991 i worked on the JW Westcott Detroit River Mailboat as a deckhand. It was end of season in December and we were headed up between Belle Isle and the mainland for winter dry dock storage and repairs. Capt Jim was at the wheel when we passed the Belle Isle bridge. The water is not very deep there and we were headed thru a sheet of ice, probably about 4 inches thick on average. The 45 foot tug powered by a Detroit 6-71 was holding its own as Capt would run it wide open, up onto the ice sheet, then wait one thousand one one thousand two...until the boat dropped thru the ice whilel clearing our way. Then it was back up, forward wide open and do it again! We broke ice for about a nail biting hour straight till we finally made it to the slip entrance... here is where old age kicks in...i cannot remember the name of that dry dock to save my tail. Expect to see an edit to this comment later when the name comes to me. We did have a late lunch at the Rooster tail once the Westcott was completely out of the water, but this place was close by yet not within the Rooster Tail grounds. Being part of the Westcott team back then was a positive experience which i will never forget. Im so thankful for that opportunity to be part of Detroit River history and take it all in with my senses. Good times for sure. Edit : Gregory Marina, Detroit Mi. Knew it would come to be but took awhile. The Westcott Company and family behind the name had an excellent, years long professional relationship with those behind Gregory Marina. As a deckhand with a seasonal job, it was a bonus to be able to work on the boat during winter layup. I remember scraping and grinding and sanding, etc then around late January fresh new paint started going down. By spring that boat alwaya looked like a million dollars when ready to ship out for each new season!
Точно така, наистина ми напомня за моето опасно пътуване, когато внезапно се разрази буря. Бях много притеснен и уплашен, но за щастие екипажът ни върна безопасно у дома. .
1:45 isnt an icebreaker, It's an ice strengthened ship designed to sail through pre-broken ice. An actual icebreaker will be ahead of this cargo ship to break the ice
9:17 it seems to be the "Abeille Flandre", an ocean tug based in Brittany, France. It's mission was to assist maritime traffic of the coast of Brittany. They were very famous.
These incidents feel reminiscent of the incident in the early 1900s where only two people in a town owned an automobile and managed to get into a collision.
MADAY! MADAY! MAYDAY! This is the Rust Bucket! We have unintentionally plowed through the wake of a passing jet skier, and our hull has just broken in half!!!
Here's an interesting fact: when people keep downloading and re-uploading RUclips videos for their channels, the quality deteriorates so much that they become almost unwatchable. It's a shame, but it's true!
A sacrificial piece of manila on the pelican hook and a bb-winch might be safer, though.... hard to tell not knowing the deck layout. I have to admit I've done some crazy-ass shit because it had to be done, though.
8:04 happened in the Netherlands. Miscommuniction between both ships. And i know for a fact that some of the recreation boats in this videos should not be allowed to be on one. I work on a ship and the stupidity i sometimes witness of the little boats. Some just have zero awareness of where to be on a river or their surroundings. They sail dead centre of a river and only look one way.
You are so right about the stupidity. Sailboaters only know one thing about Rules of the Road, or think they do, and that is a sailing vessel under said has the right of way. Not true. Then there are the dolts who like to cross a ships bow all together too close . If you cant see the ships bridge then they cane see you. Surprisingly damn few of the deck officers on watch want to kill you so when you are crossing their bow and they cant see you they get quite agitated not wishing to make anyone a Darwin Award recipient.
The clip at 4:37. The ship looked like it had some kind of malfunction. The main reason I suspect this is that EVERY captain knows that even your taking big hard waves like this on a ship the best thing to do is point the Bow or front of the ship directly into it. They are designed to take waves on the bow not the sides. That's how they capsize. Either the ship has steering problems or engine problems.
@@fionngallagher7813 IDK that ship looked pretty old. It may not have had bow thrusters. Either way we both agree that it was not working at 100% something was off
The black smoke from the Japanese vessel was exhaust smoke from the ship trying to go full power to get away from the lunatic in the Chinese fishing vessel.
Well... Yeah you gotta think the tonnage these anchors have to hold in place to stop drift/movement of a ship a U.S aircraft carrier anchor weight usually around 100 THOUSAND TONS all depends on size of the vessel and how much displacement/ weight
I once caught in a tropical storm while 12miles of the coast while in a fishing boat, fishing! We failed to out run the storm but managed to get our boat close to an island seeking shelter from the crazy torrents of winds n rains!!! The experience is horrowing, and thats only considered as normal storm which occasionally hits shores in a year. Its horrowing enough that it took me months to gain enough courage to hit the water again. We're truly nothing in front of the force of nature regardless how small or mild they r. It gives me new appreciation to the brave souls out there all year round n even more of our forefathers who braved the seas in all weather looking for a better life or simply making a living.
12:00 How did they make enough money to go on a cruise if thats the decisions that they make? First: Why would they think ant cruise ship full of passengers, that were sober enough to look at their watches, would wait for them? Second: the fact that he thought he could throw a flat object the same as a baseball is PAINFUL.
@@FactZone-sl5ltI'm not trying to argue. But what does them "giving the train money" have to do with missing the deportation time? If you are blaming the train on them missing their time..... I can't help but notice that Nobody else did..... So.... What random train did they take? And why are you sure there is a train involved at all????
We've said the same about airplanes but we've had them collide in mid air as well. .... Imagine having 3 axis instead of a 2 dimension. And still hitting another plane.
@@justingesner1060 ya mid air collision are a result of a lot of things, technical / human error or sheer ignorance. But ship collisions in the the vast ocean when they are practically visible at decent nautical miles away from each other, and time enough to change the course,,ya that takes special stupid
@@ThePratech you do make a valid point there. Mid air collisions, you'd never know untill it was too late. Ships you'd definitely have some site lines.
8:53 It's nice to see people coming to help, however in this case it's just a stupid idea. You should never ever get close to a large ship with a tiny boat like seen in the video because you may get drawn closer and eventually under the ship.
Climate here climate there where we supposed to pay more taxes but „crying yeah“ when the cargo ship 13:50 is sinking is a huge amount of lack of intelligence.
8:30 the sail yacht has the right of way. Not only because they are sailing but also because they are on the right of the tanker. It's 100% the fault of the tanker.
@@KC-32 no, according to the agreed international rules. Sailing boats have full priority over any power boats. Because it's too hard for them to maneuver around with the wind.
In this case it more likely that the sailboat is at fault. Considering the size of the tanker and the location (close to shore) makes it likely for the tanker to be using a channel for bigger ships. The size of the ship makes it fall under a vessel with restricted ability to maneuver, the following the channel makes it also fall under the constricted by draft category. This results in the tanker being the stand- on vessel and the sail boat being the give-way vessel. The rules mentioned above (sailboat and port side give way) only apply when you are a ordinary power driven vessel. This doesn’t apply when the special categories apply (size and draft/ channel) Bc of the tanker being restricted in their ability to manoeuvre and it likely following a channel(constrained by draft) will make if being higher up the “pecking order” for the right of way. Hope this clears this up ( ;
Another point. I wholeheartedly disagree with his statement of the little fishing boats not knowing they were going into a Tsunami. They knew. They were trying to get out to sea that's the safest place for them. Just like the previous clips showed the ships just rolling over the waves with no issues. That is what they were doing. Japans early warning tsunami system is designed to send messages over the emergency systems to all ships and vessels so that the captains have a chance to get out to see.
The bulk carrier that broke up in a storm on the Black Sea was designed for use on rivers not the open sea !
Yeah wondered why a ship that size didn't have the bulbous bow
Vodka probably had a lot to do with the decision to go to sea..
It's nice to know this, ships won't make me as stressed as I'd be without this comment.
it was more like corporate greed. They had stayed in port to wait for fairer weather but were pressured into continuing anyways@@CountCraigula

Absolutely Nature is so powerful every machinery failed
MADAY! MADAY! MAYDAY! This is the Rust Bucket! We have unintentionally plowed through the wake of a passing jet skier, and our hull has just broken in half!!!
Crazy 😅
What an awesome video! It's incredibly funny and kept me entertained the whole time. Thank you!
LOVE THE HYDROFOIL!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Here's an interesting fact: when people keep downloading and re-uploading RUclips videos for their channels, the quality deteriorates so much that they become almost unwatchable. It's a shame, but it's true!
Gestern hatte ich Deutschunterricht.
6:47 that smell from the burning brakes is hideous ! 🤮🤢😖
16:11 the "big-bellied thug" alone is worth the time to watch the video
Ohh I thought that was a bulk carrier
@@slacko1971 just click on the blue numbers "16:11"......you'll see a "bulky bellied thug" 😉
Dayum, i thought that was a whale.
13:00 Hit and run is exactly the way to drop anchors of that size or larger.
I was just about to say that lmao
What doesnt come through in the video is how loud it is too.
A sacrificial piece of manila on the pelican hook and a bb-winch might be safer, though.... hard to tell not knowing the deck layout. I have to admit I've done some crazy-ass shit because it had to be done, though.
Yeah that's how they do it in the navy too. Except there's safety zones and a backup man pulling the hammer man away from the danger zone.
The yacht skipper with the supertanker suffered a very heavy fine !!
Smart people don't call others stupid
Depends on how stupid they truly are!
Hey ding dong the black smoke in the second video was because the diesel engine was slammed full throttle to move OUT OF THE WAY
8:04 happened in the Netherlands. Miscommuniction between both ships. And i know for a fact that some of the recreation boats in this videos should not be allowed to be on one. I work on a ship and the stupidity i sometimes witness of the little boats. Some just have zero awareness of where to be on a river or their surroundings. They sail dead centre of a river and only look one way.
You are so right about the stupidity. Sailboaters only know one thing about Rules of the Road, or think they do, and that is a sailing vessel under said has the right of way. Not true. Then there are the dolts who like to cross a ships bow all together too close . If you cant see the ships bridge then they cane see you. Surprisingly damn few of the deck officers on watch want to kill you so when you are crossing their bow and they cant see you they get quite agitated not wishing to make anyone a Darwin Award recipient.
8:04 There is only one to blame in here and It´s the captain of the ship with camera. He should take way to ship going from starboard side.
Tanker is to blame because the yacht had wind on the starboard side and its a sailboat? It should be written like that in Colreg
Don't bully the Chinese fishing boat, it was just farming social credit....
15:56 The french probably learned a thing or two from Iceland about winning a fishing war
It was the fiercest battle
Fascinating while tragic. Thanks for the posting
How?
@@Mrtitanosaur🤣
I like the Irony of the FAREAST HONESTY....."CRAAAAAASSSHSSSHHHHHH!!!!!"
14:11 😂😂😂 Lmfao they look hilarious. They got SCARED 😂😂
The clip at 4:37. The ship looked like it had some kind of malfunction. The main reason I suspect this is that EVERY captain knows that even your taking big hard waves like this on a ship the best thing to do is point the Bow or front of the ship directly into it. They are designed to take waves on the bow not the sides. That's how they capsize. Either the ship has steering problems or engine problems.
It was probably the bow thrusters that where malfuctioning
@@fionngallagher7813 IDK that ship looked pretty old. It may not have had bow thrusters. Either way we both agree that it was not working at 100% something was off
I love this dude seems to know nothing about the shit he talks about.
Thankfully we live in a country where nothing short of excellence is accepted.
What country do you live in??
The black smoke from the Japanese vessel was exhaust smoke from the ship trying to go full power to get away from the lunatic in the Chinese fishing vessel.
That black smoke was exhaust
2:11 so titanic wasn’t the only to sink by ice huh
Wait... a 104 TON anchor?!
Anchor and chain! Is the reason the anchor brakes fail...extreme weight!
Anchor and chain together. The entire assembly was probably worth 4+ million USD :)
Well... Yeah you gotta think the tonnage these anchors have to hold in place to stop drift/movement of a ship a U.S aircraft carrier anchor weight usually around 100 THOUSAND TONS all depends on size of the vessel and how much displacement/ weight
Those ships weigh around 80,000-100,000 tons.
That's only about two fully loaded semi-trucks.
wow, first time seeing a Whale Russ in a speedo. LMFAO
10:55 same thing happened to my dad. When the truck landed it broke his back
I once caught in a tropical storm while 12miles of the coast while in a fishing boat, fishing! We failed to out run the storm but managed to get our boat close to an island seeking shelter from the crazy torrents of winds n rains!!! The experience is horrowing, and thats only considered as normal storm which occasionally hits shores in a year. Its horrowing enough that it took me months to gain enough courage to hit the water again. We're truly nothing in front of the force of nature regardless how small or mild they r. It gives me new appreciation to the brave souls out there all year round n even more of our forefathers who braved the seas in all weather looking for a better life or simply making a living.
12:00 How did they make enough money to go on a cruise if thats the decisions that they make?
First: Why would they think ant cruise ship full of passengers, that were sober enough to look at their watches, would wait for them?
Second: the fact that he thought he could throw a flat object the same as a baseball is PAINFUL.
They missed the train and all the money was thrown out the window so they gave the train a handful of money.
@@FactZone-sl5ltI'm not trying to argue. But what does them "giving the train money" have to do with missing the deportation time?
If you are blaming the train on them missing their time..... I can't help but notice that Nobody else did.....
So.... What random train did they take? And why are you sure there is a train involved at all????
It takes special kind of stupid for a boat to collide with another boat, in the middle of a vast freakin ocean
We've said the same about airplanes but we've had them collide in mid air as well. .... Imagine having 3 axis instead of a 2 dimension. And still hitting another plane.
@@justingesner1060 ya mid air collision are a result of a lot of things, technical / human error or sheer ignorance. But ship collisions in the the vast ocean when they are practically visible at decent nautical miles away from each other, and time enough to change the course,,ya that takes special stupid
@@ThePratech you do make a valid point there. Mid air collisions, you'd never know untill it was too late. Ships you'd definitely have some site lines.
8:53 It's nice to see people coming to help, however in this case it's just a stupid idea. You should never ever get close to a large ship with a tiny boat like seen in the video because you may get drawn closer and eventually under the ship.
"The sea was angry that day, my friend!!"
This just proves that “oh shit” in different languages can be understood by anyone.
That last guy in the skimpy suit has ZERO self awareness! *OMG!!* 😲
@02:32 that was so titanic
3:02. If bro was parallel to that he would have recreated poseidon 💀
4:53 this moment is great! the train is indescribably long!
6:52 a whole new meaning to “ANCHORS AWAY!”
The narrator forgot the final reason for shipwrecks, Mischief.
Can’t think of many scarier places to be than far out to sea in the middle of a tsunami.
Climate here climate there where we supposed to pay more taxes but „crying yeah“ when the cargo ship 13:50 is sinking is a huge amount of lack of intelligence.
The ocean freaking big and ships still accident
I feel bad but some were completely someones fault
Pov: Zonguldak liman beni duyuyor musun😅
It's clear that this is a signal to remind people on ships to be careful.
We've seen all these! Good content creation Squidley, why don't you try a real job?
2:41 Anyone else here after the giant ship collapsed the bridge 🌉 in Baltimore?
8:30 the sail yacht has the right of way. Not only because they are sailing but also because they are on the right of the tanker. It's 100% the fault of the tanker.
Isn't it that the larger ship has the right of way?
@@KC-32 no, according to the agreed international rules. Sailing boats have full priority over any power boats. Because it's too hard for them to maneuver around with the wind.
In this case it more likely that the sailboat is at fault. Considering the size of the tanker and the location (close to shore) makes it likely for the tanker to be using a channel for bigger ships. The size of the ship makes it fall under a vessel with restricted ability to maneuver, the following the channel makes it also fall under the constricted by draft category. This results in the tanker being the stand- on vessel and the sail boat being the give-way vessel. The rules mentioned above (sailboat and port side give way) only apply when you are a ordinary power driven vessel. This doesn’t apply when the special categories apply (size and draft/ channel) Bc of the tanker being restricted in their ability to manoeuvre and it likely following a channel(constrained by draft) will make if being higher up the “pecking order” for the right of way. Hope this clears this up ( ;
@@Dakun95 this is true, assuming the tanker is in a channel.
10:00 - > "FAREAST HONESTY" ! 😂
Another point. I wholeheartedly disagree with his statement of the little fishing boats not knowing they were going into a Tsunami. They knew. They were trying to get out to sea that's the safest place for them. Just like the previous clips showed the ships just rolling over the waves with no issues. That is what they were doing. Japans early warning tsunami system is designed to send messages over the emergency systems to all ships and vessels so that the captains have a chance to get out to see.
