[English subtitles] MS Sleipner Mayday Call
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2018
- This is MOST of the mayday call, as some parts were never recorded due to radio failure. It should also be clear that the sinking was going on for over 30 minutes, so this video length does not represent the real time situation; I've just compressed it to be as short as possible.
On Friday, 26 November 1999 Sleipner left Haugesund at 18.50 on course for Bergen. Across the open sea at Sletta, the boat experienced strong winds from the south-west. At 19.08 the boat crashed into the rock called Store Bloksen. Immediately after the crash, Sleipner notified the authorities of the accident via Rogaland Radio (RR) which was relayed to the Hovedredningssentralen (Joint Rescue Coordination Centre of Southern Norway), stating that Sleipner had hit the rocks near the Ryvarden Lighthouse.
Recognizing the possible consequences of the accident, the JRCC declared a Mayday situation, something the Sleipner crew had not done. All ships within a 30-45-minute radius of the accident were asked to assist in the rescue operation, and about half an hour after Sleipner sank. Approximately 10-12 boats were providing assistance.
Of the 85 people on board, 69 were saved. Afterwards the bodies of the remaining 16 people were recovered and identified. This made it the most severe accident with passenger ferries in the recent history of Norway.
The first few seconds of the call sent chills down my spine.
My friend was on this accident. He saved at least 3 people and got nothing written about it in the local news. But a soldier from ours place, that got panic and almost drown others people was written about like a hero, and got medal and so on!
Was on this boat a lot and it was very nice boat. Rip to all dead people.
That captain is really nervous. Thanks for work on this video I like when I understand what they are saying.
It's so sad that he got blamed for everything when really, he was forced by the owners to depart despite the terrible weather. He's gone into hiding since and refuses to talk to anyone about it.
@@sepnyte9422 Thats how corporations ruin people lifes....
@@Komotau4691 Mhm. They got off with no penalty.
@@sepnyte9422 Thats a shame.
@@sepnyte9422 😢
It is heart breaking to hear the desperation in the Captains voice.
In my eyes the Captain is a true hero. Imagine yourself keeping calm drifting in heavy waters and in complete darkness without the bow. I travled with Sleipner from Austevoll to Haugesund that same day. Hours later the ship sunk. Salude to those who lost their lives that night.
Rip sleipner
Heartbreaking
Mayday call
It’s mv
How many died?
16. Says in the description, where you can read a bit more about the accident.
@@mirawenya Thnx! RIP.
if you listen to M/S Estonias mayday call its clear as day , but in this mayday call it sounds like the captain is talking in a barrel filled with mud inside a shower cabinet
Well, that's very funny. Next time, find a more suitable video to unleash your sub-par comedy on.
It’s because they edit it out pretty good to make it sound good for the Estonia.
I'll necomance this comment: The reason for the bad quality, is 1. weather. 2. bad recording from somewhere. 3. Austal that build the ship, deviated from blueprint and build the all the VHF equipment and it's circuit in only one of the hull, instead of both hull as required (they would work as backup for each other), that hull that hit land and broke off, was the hull the VHF was build into and was at this time in the video about to die.
the mayday call of MS Estonia was recorded in Silja Symphony
Mayday time :D
It's not funny.
You do realize that 16 people drowned?
16 people died, it's not time to make jokes about this disaster
