The El Pharo is a heart wrenching one, the 1st officer knew they were making a huge mistake but even though she tried multiple times she couldn't get the pig headed captain to change his mind. She was so sure they were sailing into disaster she even did things like memorize where the life jackets were on every part of the ship and prepared written, updated SOS messages beforehand. Just that trapped feeling of impending doom I got while reading her logs and the accident report has stuck with me.
The previous captain had been fired for voicing safety concerns.
While still the incorrect course of action, his decisions did not occur in a vacuum.
Too true 👍 that overwhelming sensation of repeating a mistake you yourself have learned from yet others haven't.....nor will they entertain your hard-earned experience - really hard to stomach the emotions that the First Officer likely was feeling.
El Faro
The Sewol ferry is so heart breaking. Kids were texting their parents that they loved them just in case they didn’t make it. There were other kids saying how scared they were and how much they desperately wanted to live. All while being told to stay where they were and not leave their rooms. By time they decided to take matters into their own hands, it was too late.
Most of the victims were highschoolers from the same school. So much negligence caused so many innocent lives to be lost.
Just like watching "democratic" India claiming to be "neutral"while buying over 500% more fossil fuels from POOtin´s Russia after this dictatorship illegally attacked and tried to colonise Ukraine.
True values and ethics of a population are shown when they think no one are watching. Corruption are bad. Hypocrites are worse. Nations are going down due to good people doing nothing when evil and corruption are taking over.
Knowing that some of them were still alive in air pockets down there for a while is even more heartbreaking and also infuriating. Such a sad day.
The Secret History of the Estonia is an amazing podcast for anyone who wants to learn more about this tragic story and the controversy surrounding it.
I was on the Celebrity Xpedition when it wrecked in the Galapagos in 2019. The crew handled the situation perfectly and the cruise line took GOOD care of us. It was four free days in the Galapagos plus a full refund plus a FREE cruise of equal value! We even got to meet the CEO of Celebrity, who flew all the way from Paris. We have since been on four other Celebrity cruises and their service is top notch. I do not work for RC or have any affiliation.
Great video!
I was the rescue driver on the 1st helicopter
@@MrSimonw58 On which wreck?
@MrSimonw58 really? Where did the helicopter despatch from?
@@stephanielloyd4053 If he is talking about the Xpedition incident he is talking out his ass, there were no helicopters. Only transferrings from one RIB boat to another in rough seas. We went from small dive boats to the RIB boats, then to RIB boats that could take us to the Flora.
@@Flies2FLLThere was a rescue helicopter stationed on site 1 kilometer east and at 800 AGL. He never went in because the crew was top nitch
I'm from the UK and I remember the container ship had one container with someone's personal possessions, the finders had to return everything to that emigrating family, but got a reward, because the stuff was shown online to find out whose stuff it was.
BMW wrote off a container of motorcycles and let the people who found them, have them for a nominal fee. There were also some lost barrels, meant for brewing which the company who owned them, allowed some local farmers to have for their use, because again they were insurance write offs, because of the wreck. The people who sold stuff online, were traced and convicted of offences under Maritime law.
Those laws, were first created in the late eighteenth century to stop the thriving smuggling trade in Cornwall, which sometimes involved causing wreckings, in order to steal goods, then updated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
MS Estonia was a fairly well used ferry already when it got that name, its fourth, I think. I traveled in it a few times when it was called Viking Sally, owned by Viking Lines and traveling between Finland and Sweden. The disaster certainly made my claustrophobia a lot worse even if it had been many years when I had last been in that ferry, those lower decks windowless cabins were a damn maze, it must have been a total nightmare trying to get out of there.
Missed Costa Concordia in this otherwise fine overview.
Covered it in multiple vids in the past so we try not to repeat things too often
There is a huge difference between a battleship and a corvette.
Literally.
He said corvette-CLASS. Class being the operative word.
Yeah those are 2 totally different ships. That's like calling a canoe a toy boat.
This tragdey was not on the list
Scandinavian Star was a car and passenger ferry on route between Oslo, Norway and Frederikshavn, Denmark. During the night of April 7th, 1990, a fire broke out, which resulted in the death of 159 people. The police investigation concluded that the ship was set on fire byone or more arsonists.
El Faro case : two things. Captain could have been more logical as the first officer was aware of how things were going forward. Captain on the other hand followed the anticipated storm movement. However, the storm changed course which wasnt captains fault. However, once it was known they are into the storm, they still had time to move around. That is where the captain is at fault. Overconfident on himself and the ship he was commanding. Old ship, overconfident captain, and result is disaster.
Not of such big proportion, but Edmund Fitzgerald and MV Derbyshire are two other examples of ships disappearing in storms. Derbyshire was really large ship, but storm took it down. Respect for mother nature and the brave hearts who sail.
I remember a indepth analysis of the Morrow Castle fire. If the notable details were the oiled teak decks, near inches thick layers of oil based paint on everything. Like thick enough that walls that had exposed rivet heads that should have had what was effectively half a golf ball in rows were smooth due to paint buildup. Launching hardware was rusted and painted in place. The fire suppression system was clogged with rust or was just not working because of leaks. The alarms for fire were disconnected, ignored or prematurely turned off.
The whole ship was basically an oil soaked tinderbox looking for a fire.
These man-made disasters sure are terrifying. Wouldn't imagine myself to be placed in a situation like this.
hi bot
how you have over 815 Subs?
nobody ever does
the sewol ferry tragedy.. most of the victims are High School students ... at the age of 15 to 18 . so sad
Absolutely awful
What also makes the Herald Of Free Enterprise ferry disaster worse, was that many of the passengers were on a cheap trip, from a cheap newspaper offer, which was why the ship was so full. It's one of those national scandals in the UK, like that ferry that sank after the crew and captain escaped, leaving their fellow South Koreans to a watery grave, was in South Korea, only worse because they got away with. But ferry operating rules in the UK were tightened. P & O later got brought out by another company, who kept the name, but got into trouble for removing experienced crews to save money. 🥺
My dad was an oil refinery technician and one part of his job was to sign off that a particular unit was safe for contractors to work on. He never made the assumption or took another's word for it that said unit was safe, because signing off on equipment that was not safe would not only get people killed, it could and usually did result in criminal charges for the person signing.
At a different refinery than my dad worked in (one that had a very poor safety record) a technician signed off that a unit was safe to work on, the contractors opened a valve and allowed several tons of molten sulfur to pour over them. 5 people were killed and the guy who signed off on it got 5 life sentences for murder.
The Sewol incident was a really stupid one. When the captain and authorities lied that the students were safe, how do they intend to tell the parents of 325 students why their kids are still not back?
If you are in a place that you can not “skip ad”, postpone watching this. It is a great video to watch within screen reach. I have never seen so many extended time ads than here. Don’t get me wrong, it is a very good video, just beware.
I remember the Napoli beaching, the authorities beached the ship on a beach by a town the used to be known for piracy, people got more than steering wheels, there were bikes and cars in some containers.
The government did not lie about the number of passengers who had passed away. I was in South Korea when this happened. Parents and relatives knew and saw what was happening. That captain was a criminal. The videos the kids sent out showed exactly what happened.
Tragic is an understatement.
My heart goes out to those parents and loved ones. This was so unnecessary.
These modern ships are an engineering marvel. Good Captains and crews are awesome. But one mistake, one error in judgment can cost lives...and send a wonderful vessel to the seabed.
Stay safe sailors! I keep you all in my prayers, and wish you calm seas and good fortune 🌹⚓
Regarding the Morro Castle; there was a crew member who had a history of starting fires. He also had a major grudge against the Captain. I believe, based on other's investigation, that it absolutely was sabotage. The Captain's body was never found...
The arsonist was named Rogers
It's not commen to be one mistake leading to a dissaster, mostly it's several things that happend before.
Think about lack of education, or accepting things, etc.
Ho My keep this going. I continue to learn more and more. It keeps me alive. Thank you bushels
Video’s like this definitely dont help with my fear of the sea or boats. It just freaks me out even more but I can’t stop watching them-
MS Estonia still hits me. Such a tragic accident. R.I.P. to all Crewmembers and Passengers who lost their lives😢😭❤️🕊️
If I remember correctly the South Korean government at the time of that appalling ferry sinking, was later voted out of office and accused of corruption, just like the ferry company and the captain. So sad, a school lost so many students. 🥺
Good video
13:17 I was on that Ferry when it was new here in Sweden! Had a nice trip then.
As a military geek, the first five seconds of the video my brain is already hurting from this man calling that small warship a “battleship”.
The narrator for this channel is the worst on RUclips.
I remember the captain n cruise ship staff for Ms Estonia alerted all ships that were near by to come to the rescue
Yep that's after the captain refused to accept that the ship was in trouble for the first 2 hour's that's why one of the passenger's phoned a family member back on land at home to say the ship was starting to sink,the passenger's family member phoned the emergency services for help and then the Coast Guard radioed the MS ESTONIA asking what the situation was on the ship only for the Captain to say everything was normal but was listing slightly but everything was under control but thankfully the Coast Guard wasnt convinced and sent lifeboats and helicopter to the ships location, Even when they was evacuating passenger's off the ship that selfish Captain abandoned ship when he should have made sure all passenger's was off the ship first and the Coast Guard had to threaten him to get back on the ship and do his job and tell them how many passenger's was on the ship
I'm from Sweden. Over 500 ppl died that night. :(
Why don't we ever hear about the Edmond Fitzgerald sinking?
I beleive the worst shipping disaster since WWII was the Philippine ferry Dona Paz with over 4,000 dead.
I cannot imagine something more terrifying than being inside a ship in trouble. I have a fear of drowning and the thought of being inside a ferry, knowing that my life is in the hands of *dozens* of complete strangers is the most horrifying thing I could ever think of.
About 16 years ago, I spent 6 months in Brighton England, which is on the south coast. My friend and I travelled to France a dozen times during my vacation. We had to go to travel via ferry because it is too expensive to drive in the Chunnel.
It took 4 hours to sail 30 miles because of how shallow the English Channel is; the ship had to do a lot of turns and switch-backs for the simple reason of there being so much silt at the bottom of the channel. We were given state rooms that were inside the belly of the ship and I have never been so terrified. The possibility of going down with the ship, locked inside of what is supposed to be a waterproof room did not make me feel better. Now, I am more frightened of ferries than I have ever have been, which isn't ideal because I live in Seattle, where there are 19 ferry stations in the area.
24:48 That's Southampton Water, how do I know? Because we have a boat in Hamble le Rice and I saw our river entrance :0
Second story, it wasn't the crew who continued to tell the Korean people to stay on the ferry...it was a automatic message that was on a loop which continued because the captain left the ship in one of the active lifeboats😢
It's not really fair to entirely blame the crew of the Herald of Free Enterprise. The issues happened mostly because they were being chronicly overworked by the company.
That's why the bosun fell asleep, and why the officer overseeing loading didn't check the doors we closed (regulations required him to be on the car deck for loading, but also required him on the bridge for departure, he couldn't be both places at once so he left the car deck early to get to the bridge). The company had also decided that installing a camera on the car deck so the bridge could see if the bow doors were closed was an unneccessary expense, despite the fact another one of their ferries had done the exact same thing and sailed with the doors open the previous year (but luckily survived the crossing).
Aren't all ships man made?
That’s what I was gonna say. 🤔🤔
Really bro? That's why the title of the video is "10 Craziest Man Made Ship Disasters"=Man made ships+Man made accidents
On a video about maritime disasters I get a commercial about a cruise...🤣
Last cruise I was on played "Titanic" as we were leaving Glacier Bay and striking small icebergs that you could feel in the ship.
@@josephastier7421 good thing cruise ship are built more durable now than back then.
Townsend Thorosen owned the herald of free enterprise, not P&O!
Another Townsend Thorosen ship collided with another ship inbound for Felixstowe! Several lost their lives and the Townsend Thorosen ship the European Gateway capsized off Felixstowe. It lay there for 6 months before being salvaged. It returned under another owner and name. Imagine the ghosts on that ship!
The El Faro is frustrating, maddening, saddening and just plain heartbreaking. There is an excellent video by a channel called Brick Immortar which goes into great detail on the disaster. Its title is 'Disastrous Indifference' and the title fits all too well as the captain was in contact with the company who he worked for, and I have to admit that his calmness was surprising given the horrifying situation. One of the biggest reasons (theory) for his actions were that he was going to be laid off after this trip and thought it would be okay to take the risk and thus save his job. Little did he know, but he was already on the way out, and the entire crew paid the price. The recordings of him talking to a rep whilst on a doomed ship and the letters that the First Mate sent explaining that she thought (correctly) that the ship was heading for disaster are horrifying. Greed will always be the downfall of humanity.
There's also a nickname for RO-RO ships: Roll-on/Roll-over, and it's horribly fitting.
Oh airbags have a high resale value. If you found an entire container full of them...sometimes insurance companies will "total" a relatively decent car if the airbag deploys because they are so expensive to replace.
0:38 Still remember it
At the end of the day it is the marine architects who did not design a fool proof bow door. A simple cut off switch that deactivates all engine room spignels so the vessel can not proceed to sea, until everting is safe.
Expected to see Eastland and Doña Paz. The last was a combo of human factors
Certain disasters we have covered before, so that’s why some notable examples might not be on this list. Also, we need to work around what footage is available
Man the El Faro was sad - I watched BrickImmortars video on it
The captain on #9 is very selfish.
You think these are bad situations, you need to look into squid fishing, im not sure if it was a Chinese or South Korean ship but it's insane what they go through for 2yrs in the middle of the ocean with little food and sleep.
If I can’t go by car I don’t go. Never planes or ships.
At least there are trains sometimes, so you could go the long way round and occasionally bridges and tunnels. But sailing and flying will probably always to be dangerous, in the wrong conditions.
I guess logic and statistic do not matter to you. The most dangerous ride are the one you take to the harbour or airport. The journey you take with ship or plane from there are the very safest way to travel statistically. BOTH when you calculate in time spent by that transportation means and when calculating by distance travelled.
@@Mike-zx1kx statistics are no comfort if I’m in the statistic that falls from 35,000 feet. It’s not about the numbers, it’s about who is in control of the craft, whatever that craft may be. Did he/ she get enough sleep, is that person suicidal, is that person under the influence of drugs. No thank you, I will stay in control of my life.
@@oldman9642 But my point are that you statistically are more likely to run into the moron ending your life due to own incapacitates, in car traffic than at flightlevel 35 or at sea. The most dangerous part of a journey are the travel to the port, sea or air, you are travelling to, to travel from. And stay clear of vans and truck. They are about 5-6% of volume but are involved in around 15% of fatal accidents.
If statistics are no comfort to you then why relate to them at all. If you stay in your home you are more likely to die at a young age as well. Thing are you THINK you are in control of your life but anything you write tell the opposite. If you want to relate to your own life then statistics are one of the ways to be in control. But you choose not to use the tools at your hands, that can be a fatal mistake for you....Are you ready to continue your reckless ignorance of studied reality to guide you or are you ready to take REAL responsibility for yourself and others?
@@oldman9642 Are you Trumpian? Being illogical are not "staying in control of your life".
Just because you hold on to the steering wheel in a car you need to realise you are not holding on to the controls of all the morons on the road. You apply same logic as Americans do when they buy a gun for protection when all stats show you dramatically increase your chance of dying by gun, by buying one.
One of the reasons proposed on the El Faro sinking that explained the captain's decision was the storm watching program he was using. The bridge crew was receiving accurate up to date information about the storm from NOAA and NWS, but he was basing his decision on a subscription service that had a 6 hour delay in information. Unfortunately for the bridge crew, the captain didn't listen to the crew's report that was received and instead listened to the subscription service. The engine stalled because there was a design flaw that only had one way for the engine to receive oil for lubrication and it was off to one side. As a result, when they did the turn in the storm added on to already having a severe list caused by improper tie down of vehicles being transported and water that entered through a hatch, the oil never reached the engine and a safety feature triggered the engine to shut down. It was determined there were several factors, but it ultimately came down to a poor decision to ignore the bridge crew's received report and stay on a course that lead to their doom.
The reason the HMS Notingham survived was not due to a "Miricle" It was due to the insane damage control efforts of her crew. The crew worked for days on end stopping the spread of water and shoring compartments and hatches. The methods devised and employed by the enlisted crew are now taught during Royal Navy training.
0:03 thats considered a battleship in 24?? what happened to massive powerful dreadnoughts
Lots of RO-RO's... Also known as Roll on, Roll over.
What about the Greek cruise ship "Oceanos"?
The crew basically abandoned the ship, leaving the passengers to organise their own evacuation
Wow 😮😢
That Korean captain actually makes my blood boil. I can't watch without being unreasonable.
Ya wonder if the crew of El Faro was voicing concern or downright ready to mutany over their captains decision to not detour.?? Or were they confident in their Capt.?
Roll on Rollover
Someone who knows
0:02
That’s not a battleship.
7:09 Does it though? How long did Titanic took less than 3 hours.
Moral of the story: DON'T ever use ro-ro ferries!
0:04 thats not a battleship, more like a destroyer
Man i wouldn't wanna be on a cow-made ship
Yeah Sewol might be the saddest tragedy I’ve ever seen, sad story
Assumptions. One of the biggest causes of accidents.
Battleship?! 0:00 smh
Seems that captan and crew abandoning ship at the first sign of trouble is a common occurrence.
I have to say that the MS Estonia wasn't poorly built, it was a pretty good ship and wouldn't have sailed if it wasn't in good shape. There is a lot of controversy around the sinking but there is a pretty strong theory that MS Estonia was carrying military stuff, reports from the survivors say that before departing there was a delay where military cars stopped the traffic and transported a large cargo truck onto the ship. Many (to my knowledge) believe that there was Russian tech in there that they where shipping out to be analysed (or something like that), so it wouldn't be far fetched if the ferry was sabotaged and more precisely the hinges that the bow door was secured with. If memory serves some people did hear large bangs but thought nothing of it due to the storm. It was also prohibited, strangely, to go down to the ship and figure out what truly happened and strangely (don't remember if it was Sweden, Estonia or some other country) they covered the wreck in cement to "protect a grave site". So to know what truly happened is difficulty but surely the ship wasn't either in bad condition or poorly built.
250 students died. Only 75 students survived. There was 325 students on the ship
Thermite in the bow visor pins - would never be able to be verified
That could be intentional
Titanic was
세월호 사고가 발생했던 그날 아침 뉴스에서 전원 구조 했다는 기사를 보고 안심했었지만 얼마 지나지않아 오보였다는걸 알게되고 나서는 안타까운 마음이 너무 들었다.
전원 구조 되었길 바랬지만 그러지 않았는데 많은 시민들이 분노하고 슬퍼했었던 사건.. 다시는 이런 사고가 발생 하지 않았으면 하는 바램이 든다.
8:26 Good. If the shipping companies will harm our oceans dropping toxic containers then I really don't care about their property rights or profits. Let the locals have a freebie.
HFE had 8 decks "NUMBERED" A thru H....
The first one wasn’t a battleship. Most likely a destroyer escort.
well some say, boats are great... until they are not..
Exactly. As long as everything works perfectly, everyone says it's great.
#9 Yes the captain and crew were bad people and deserved their punishment, however it sounds like they were the scapegoats!
watch Rotten mango she covers what happened its I think that might change ur mind of them being scapegoats
They don't know how to build anything anymore. The use. Crap to build these ships instead of quality
the official report for MS Estonia was somewhat false on the account of the Russian government sinking the ferry, because the ferry was hauling soviet weapons and intel on that voyage. Then trying to cover up the incident by attempting to fill a giant hole in the side of the ship with cement and would explain the quick and sudden sinking of the ship. An explosion was heard from the people on board and an American dive team was sent there to recover the bodies and that's when they found the giant hole. it's a conspiracy but there is a whole mountain of evidence suggesting otherwise.
5:20 bit like Costa Concordia
I couldn't watch this when the narrator called a Corvette class ship a Battleship in the first 8 seconds if this clip.
Aren't all ship disasters man made?? I mean, I've yet to come across a naturally accuring ship. 🤔
ARE YOU SURE THERE'S ONLY TEN??
George Rogers, the Radio operator on the Morro Castle set the fire. He later was arrested for using a bomb to try to kill a Police Detective, and finally was sentenced to life in prison for 2 murders.
14:35 was not the ms sea diamond it was the MV Princess of the Star
This channel has more made up content then the Miss Universe pageant.
Why does RUclips force Wikipedia down our throats about shit that isn’t controversial
Maybe this post is controversial as well.
Sick of this same voice on many of these top 10 or whatever he's narrator of again.
Out at 4:04
'Suckapedia'!!! And RUclips, is overly liberal, deciding what they think is 'proper', for us. Eliminating, our 1st. Amendment Rights🤨…………
'Suckapedia'. And RUclips, is overly liberal, deciding what they think, is proper. Removing our 1st. Amendment Rights, of free speech.
'Suckapedia'!!! And, overly liberal RUclips, decides what's most prudent for us to comment on, by erasing our 1st. Amendment Rights. Just like they'll delete this message, violating all, our Rights, to freedom of speech. Stop that, YT🤨!!!
No it's not
There's a context pag for the MS Estonia. What's the controversial "misinformation" that's spread about that?
The herald of free enterprise story isn't completely true if I remember correctly allegedly the guy wasn't been lazy he was just exhausted from over work I also believe he was basically supposed to be in two places at once so it was his fault but I also blame the company somewhat
...All ships are "man-made".
Not true. If they were man made they would fight each other and even if they lost. Complain about it forever.
Those ships were made by lizards. Never heard a lizard complain about pay. 💰
lol. 😂
where is synkefri from denmark
0:44 damn mate my countries ferry being made baddly was not it it was foul play
All ship disasters are man made because, after all, all ships are man made.
Just remember , Ro Ro means no no.
So who else would be making ships if not man?
This would have been a better video or there hadn't been so many random shots of other vaguely similar ships that had nothing to do with the ones being discussed.
Also, the vessel sinking at the start of your intro was a corvette, HTMS SUKHOTHAI. "Corvette" is a TYPE of warship, not a class. She was in fact Ratanakosin class. And she was most definitely NOT a battleship. "Battleship" is not synonymous with "warship." A "Battleship" is a type of warship with huge guns, thick armour and a large displacement that was made obsolete during WWII. There are no battleships in commission in any Navy today, and the last ones were decommissioned after Desert Storm, the MISSOURI being the last on 1 March 1992.
You close to 2m
All wrong on Estonia 😂😂😂
The UK has to be the worst country for any sort of treasure, almost anything has to be turned in and you might be lucky and get a small up to 10% finders fee. the exact opposite of how most of the UK was built upon privateers etc
Are not all ships man made?
What happens when a container ship, rams a bridge, perhaps🤔??? Why does the bridge always collapse, instead of the ship, sinking🙄⁉️ The MV Osaka, has got to be the UGLIEST ship, I've ever seen.
A singular thing can be presented? Don't care about the others.
As opposed to non man made ships ?? 😂😂 Wtf
Setup you are wheel RUclips
It is not entirely clear why Estonia went under
