in theory you could have a spicy pillow just pick that moment to combust, but that could happen at any time at random anyway. my opinion is that it is more likely a psychological play. "don't use your phone you might explode" is more convincing than the actual reason, that being if you are looking at your phone you are not watching your car for anything going wrong. i was once using a pump while reading discord on my phone and i don't know what went wrong, it never happened again; i was filling my car and i heard a sound, i looked around and there was a pool of fuel forming under my vehicle, i stopped the pump and got the situation taken care of. to this day i have no idea how that happened, i am sure that the nozzle was in the tank, i visually verified that after stopping the pump. the vehicle went to a mechanic the next day, while they did find an issue with my vehicle (loose wind shield) they were not able to find an issue with the fuel system and its never happened again. TL:DR even if its not for explosion risks, using your phone at a pump is probably not a good idea, it doesn't have to be your spark if you are dumping fuel on the floor.
@@flanigomik Months later, but the auto shutoff on some gas pumps can fail. Ideally it fails in that it's oversensitive and shuts off when the tank isn't full, but it can happen that it fails to shut off the gas when it reaches the nozzle, which can result in your experience.
From what stories I have heard, those who are paid to clean awful things are used to most disgusting smells and scenes which means they are likely used to fully smelly scenes.
@@mixednarwhal Well... Yep. Understandable. I know some people who clean up crime scenes. I heard some really BUYYWEEEGGGHHUUUGUUUHHHHHH stories from them.
If must have been something electrical that ignited the fuel. Diesel fuel isn’t flammable the same way gas is. It’s combustible but it’s much harder to catch on fire.
it also would beg the question of _who the fuck would smoke in a room filled with diesel up to their ankles_ There is like a 0% chance anyone with the braincells to get a mechanic job on a ship would try crossing that with embers in their hand.
Hey man, you know what they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm sure the captain didn't want to give all that - Okay I'm not continuing that joke, it sounded better in my head. Jesus Christ, where did that even come from?
The problem is that the people with the best idea of how an industry works (and what regulations might be useful without utterly destroying that industry) are people from that industry. And between the attitudes/biases they developed within the industry, their continued contacts with friends still in the industry, and the wealth that industry can lavish upon them for favorable regulation (easily justified by their expertise in both the industry itself and with the regulatory framework they helped set up) those people often don't have the public's best interests at heart.
@@maxfraxx3349 _Poop_ in this context means _stern;_ the poop deck is the rearmost deck on a ship. It's derived from the French _poupe._ Which, it seems likely, shares its origins with the term for fecal matter.
Recall there was also noro-virus cruise, people got infected, because a family with a child sick with noro-virus, who either coughed at the food or being child who touched the food. Almost everyone got infected, vomiting and diarrhea, the ship got quarantined and everyone were stuck on the ship. The cruise owners noticed the signs of spreading infection and ignored them, because money.
Well... Shieeeeet... As a tech engineer, i find it specially scary to rely on ONE machine for EVERYTHING. Mad respect for my sea- and air- based brothers. But I'm glad I work on land.
Well, the failed engine was apparently #6, and two others were already broken. Assuming two engine rooms, and further assuming the broken machines are in the other room from the one that caught fire, you can posit that they had six engines, two broke before the cruise started with three more taken out by the fire. Which would leave you with one engine, which apparently wasn't enough to run the air, refrigeration, or water much less move the ship. Presumably, one can operate the ship on one engine room, which would mean that when they started the trip they had one engine to spare before things stopped working. (Note: lots of assumptions, and only using information from the video.)
12:30 A lot of old people live on cruise ships as permanent passengers. It's possible the ship had facilities to take care of her need or she had something scheduled at a stop but, no power to run the machine or get to the stop.
ok, I looked this up, this was 2013, most devices charge at sub 15 watts, and most small generators do 1500-2000 watts, so SAFELY 100 devices could be plugged into one generator, and as long as the cabling is sufficient/can handle 1500 watts though it, its a non issue, most fire hazard is from overloading a VERY old cable, or from just exposed prongs from them sagging off of the wall.
Honestly the main reason that people historically went on cruises is that its the best bang for your buck you can get in terms of a vacation. Its usually something like $80-140 a day for a mid range ship, while a comparable all expenses paid vacation tends to start at around $300 a day and they're also not all expenses paid because obviously they're gonna weasel out of that. The overall prices tend to be similar, but cruises are normally 1-2 weeks while vacations are usually arrive and depart within a three day period. I know some retired couples who, pre 2020, spent most of the year on cruise because it was honestly cheaper.
I actually sailed on the triumph a couple years before this happened crazy to think that the same cruise that I enjoyed and had a blast on became a living hell for some people
12:24 cruise ships and most other large vessels have a fully equipped hospital and doctors onboard with the equipment to deal with pretty much any medical matter from a passenger or crew whether through illness or injuries, I'd imagine that may include a dialysis machine for just this sort of thing, but without power the machine would be next to useless.
6:09 it's not the phone that can ignite the fuel, it's that static electricity you potentially generate when not in contact with your vehicle or the pump
So the thing about the dialysis thing is that its extremely common for older people and people like that to go on cruises. Many cruises even advertise medical capabilities to support and aid such people. There's been a few news articles over the years about how its possible to cruise how and spend all year on cruises and still be cheaper than a retirement home.
Part of the reason it's popular is because it's ultimately a confined space filled with staff who are very good at dealing with old people. So, if your partner is losing their marbles, you don't have to accompany them 24/7 because it's okay to leave them in the cabin for a while without worrying. There's a full medical staff and the route is plotted with helicopter access in mind for emergencies.
I heard the "not supposed to use cell phones as gas pumps" at 5:50 and get flashbacks to Mythbusters disproving exactly that and now I know that was 10 years ago now and feel old ;-;
My dad worked on an American cruise ship. The crystal of the sea or whatever it was. I've apparently been to all the major capitals of the world, but I was a small child. Anyway, I'd probably go on one of these in spite of such things because unforeseen events happen sometimes. 95% of the time, nothing bad happens and it's smooth sailing. The only creepy thing about cruise ships is that they have their own morgues. Old people like to die on the ships, a final voyage to have a good time before kicking the bucket. If you've been on a cruise, likelihood is someone died and they had to covertly roll the body into the big freezer.
This was the same company that hired a painter and cleaner whose English and Italian were rudimentary at best to helm _Costa Concordia_ . Yeah, they operated as cheap as possibly. Carnival also owns Cunard, since the shipping line that once competed with White Star, NDL, Amerika-Hamberg, and the US Lines was struggling badly before they bought it. That means their fleet includes _RMS Queen Mary 2_ . Fortunately she's operated according to Cunard traditions, not Carnival's.
As someone who been on maybe 5-6 cruises. There is some truth in the bad comody, and repeat songs but in the trips i taken i dont think it was bad like its made out to be sure thousands of people on a floating tomb, but from what i experienced it wasnt bad. Bingo though was CRAZY expensive.. 40.00 for 1 card..
I had a colleague who was on that cruise. The group he was with had smuggled in enough alcohol that they didn't care, that and the bars opened as a somewhat apology.
She is right about the idea of dumping in the sea. That's exactly what people would do in the past, shit in a bucket and throw the content of the bucket overboard.
They could also just have had a backup engine in a different location. The Costa Concordia had two but they were adjacent to each other to save costs... the puncture in the hull cut across both compartments so both flooded and the redundancy served no purpose.
I went on a cruise but it was one of the Princess ones which is basically a large hotel floating on the water and I had a blast. Lots of good restaurants and a fun bar where you can do bingo every Friday which is what my family did. And there was a casino as well which was fun to!
Lolol when I was unable to pay my water bill I had to use a bag too, but at least I had that good ol Harbour freight bucket. I feel bad for them, red bags but no red buckets.
Through most of the video I'm like "yeah I might still risk it and go on a cruise" until finding out that they can't be held responsible for their own failures. That's what deters me.
# 0001 I remember back when it happened I was driving down Water St. to visit my aunt to which Water St. is the street where they have the Carnival as well as the other boats and such docked there. I remember at the traffic light, there was a faint bad smell to which I assumed it was our sewage that was let out somewhere. When I got to my aunt's house and saw the news, that was when they were talking about that Carnival ship and that they had to make an emergency dock at our port. To which that the reporters had explained all the details as to what had happened from like being stranded out at sea to the poop incident and that they had to get tugboats and the Coast Guard and everything to rescue them. I was shocked to say the least
You couldn't get me on a cruise ship for all the money in the world. It's literally an entire city condensed and compressed into the size of the ship, surrounded by the unforgiving and lethal ocean and whims of the atmosphere. And it comes with absolutely every single issue and problem and downside that every other overcrowded city on Earth has - except you can't just decide "screw this I'm out" pack up and leave and THEY can't just replace blown transformers with new ones from outside the city because you can't exactly "ship" a new engine or electrical system to a cruise ship in the middle of the Pacific/Atlantic ocean. It has crime, death (cruise ships even have entire morgues and hospitals), disease, resource management issues, the works. Only it's not even being run by remotely competent politicians and corporations as cities are (even the bad ones are still run by people better than most cruise crews) and you don't have any say over who leads/runs things and everything is being done for as absolutely as cheaply as possible with the fewest number of people the cruise company can legally get away with. I honestly cannot see ANY upside to a cruise whatsoever that can't just be achieved via flying, driving or taking a train somewhere instead.
-So glad being grossed out doesnt effect my hunger in the slightest. This is the sorta thing to make ke angry for life... even when happy i would just be haunted by that cruise for the rest of my life -ngl, had no idea alabama was an ocean state like florida
I found I was on this boat for its first sail after its repairs from when this happened while the tugs were pulling us out. Thanks for the cruise mom. Still have a couple $5 poker chips from the casino (no issues to report, it was my First cruise)
C'thulu/ Cthulu/ kthulu is pronounced k'tu-lu. Technically the is a very quick and getting h sound like in here. Comes from an old English speaking, like Thomas or even how it is said in German in words like thousand or Beethoven.
Worked gas stations for years... you can ignite gas fumes with static sparks, opening/shutting doors on car, as well as cell phones (especially if connected to charger or aux). These are all very unlikely... but they are all a risk none the less. (And once a month, I find a person smoking relativity close... usually a friend of the pumper standing 5-10 feet away (or a pumper waiting)... Again, relativity low chance of ignition, but still a chance you shouldn't take.
Mobile has a population of about 200,000 people. They couldn't have found them hotels in town if they'd tried, they couldn't have had the capacity for 4,000 people out of nowhere. This guy's video was somehow both too lighthearted about the situation, and too critical of it at the same time.
it's not the phone that ignites the fuel, it's the static electricity charge of sitting in your vehicle while you wait. Mythbusters did a whole episode on it.
Its a funny reminder of how unsuited for the sea humans are. If this happened at an hotel you could just go somewhere else. Worst case scenario live off the land for a bit, poop in the woods. In the sea there is exactly zero things you can do.
5:30 I recall my experience as a tanker ship technician. The engine room doesn't actually have a floor, there are just girders with steel panels resting on top of them, you walk on top of those, and underneath those there's a whole bunch of machinery and pipes. So I question how is it even possible to fill up the engine compartment with fuel so high that it overflows the panels by several inches, and how long did it had to gush out of a ruptured fuel pipe for it to accumulate. And those are not big pipes, generator motors don't need much fuel, so it's like filling up a swimming pool through a garden hose. Seems like absolutely nobody cared to even man the engine room for a very extended period of time.
I’ve been on a few cruises and everyone I’ve been on one they are a lot of fun. It sucks like stuff like this happens but it’s not common otherwise no one would go on them. I’d still recommend them but just find some good solid cruise lines
Passenger: it was very wrong, there was so much doodoo feces everywhere and all over the wall *captain leans in with crap eating grin* Captain: it was me~ I was the guy who smeared doodoo feces on the walls *raises eyebrows twice*
not only that, but you cant bring your own emergency supplies just in case something like that happens. So no. F cruises. People like to go on them, but it only takes one time to ruin your life. It could have been so much worse.
to be fair on the bussing them to new orleans thing there probably wasn't enough hotel space in Mobile to accommodate 4000 people unless they sold out every bargain basement fire hazard motel in town, and also I'd much rather end up in new orleans after all that anyway, at least then I could get a decent drink.
>Tax evasion Yes and no? Most cruise companies are based in Panama, because it's a tax haven, thus are subject to Panamanian law (when it's not contradictory to local law of whatever territory they enter)

Yes the voltage is too low

10:00 Hey, squirrels are majestic animals!
-So glad being grossed out doesnt effect my hunger in the slightest. This is the sorta thing to make ke angry for life... even when happy i would just be haunted by that cruise for the rest of my life
-ngl, had no idea alabama was an ocean state like florida
i'd sooner jump ship than stay on a dead ship for a week with no working bathrooms
God damn it, Luke! You were aboard, weren’t you?!?
0:36 That's how they pronounced it on an episode of the Real Ghostbusters. "The Collect Call of Cthulhu".
"she's laughing but this is not funny"
It's kinda funny
“It’s called the poop deck Lois, that’s why I pooped there.”
Imagine after the ship gets back being in the cleaning crew
I found I was on this boat for its first sail after its repairs from when this happened while the tugs were pulling us out. Thanks for the cruise mom.
Still have a couple $5 poker chips from the casino
(no issues to report, it was my
First cruise)
And this is why you must buy a yacht for yourself to go on a trip... A negligible yacht did no harm to anyone.
When Alana said "no shit", I knew we're in for a "shit show"
Contracts are only enforcible if a judge agrees
I never expected the outro to fit this well into a video 😂
Tourette's guy : HOLY SHIT!
C'thulu/ Cthulu/ kthulu is pronounced k'tu-lu. Technically the is a very quick and getting h sound like in here. Comes from an old English speaking, like Thomas or even how it is said in German in words like thousand or Beethoven.
Worked gas stations for years... you can ignite gas fumes with static sparks, opening/shutting doors on car, as well as cell phones (especially if connected to charger or aux).
These are all very unlikely... but they are all a risk none the less.
(And once a month, I find a person smoking relativity close... usually a friend of the pumper standing 5-10 feet away (or a pumper waiting)...
Again, relativity low chance of ignition, but still a chance you shouldn't take.
Rather a moot point, though, because while gas fumes are nasty explosive, diesel doesn't produce that sort of fume, nor does it explode.
Mobile has a population of about 200,000 people. They couldn't have found them hotels in town if they'd tried, they couldn't have had the capacity for 4,000 people out of nowhere.
This guy's video was somehow both too lighthearted about the situation, and too critical of it at the same time.
it's not the phone that ignites the fuel, it's the static electricity charge of sitting in your vehicle while you wait. Mythbusters did a whole episode on it.
In will never go on a cruise. Those things arena nightmare waiting to happen.
Its a funny reminder of how unsuited for the sea humans are.
If this happened at an hotel you could just go somewhere else. Worst case scenario live off the land for a bit, poop in the woods.
In the sea there is exactly zero things you can do.
5:30 I recall my experience as a tanker ship technician. The engine room doesn't actually have a floor, there are just girders with steel panels resting on top of them, you walk on top of those, and underneath those there's a whole bunch of machinery and pipes. So I question how is it even possible to fill up the engine compartment with fuel so high that it overflows the panels by several inches, and how long did it had to gush out of a ruptured fuel pipe for it to accumulate. And those are not big pipes, generator motors don't need much fuel, so it's like filling up a swimming pool through a garden hose. Seems like absolutely nobody cared to even man the engine room for a very extended period of time.
I’ve been on a few cruises and everyone I’ve been on one they are a lot of fun. It sucks like stuff like this happens but it’s not common otherwise no one would go on them. I’d still recommend them but just find some good solid cruise lines
Passenger: it was very wrong, there was so much doodoo feces everywhere and all over the wall
*captain leans in with crap eating grin*
Captain: it was me~ I was the guy who smeared doodoo feces on the walls *raises eyebrows twice*
not only that, but you cant bring your own emergency supplies just in case something like that happens. So no. F cruises. People like to go on them, but it only takes one time to ruin your life. It could have been so much worse.
Not picture books Alana, but a Novel.
The outro is very appropriate to the video
Well that situation was rather just....shitty
This guys sponsor food looks exactly as the food I can buy at my local store. Probably a lot cheaper too.
to be fair on the bussing them to new orleans thing there probably wasn't enough hotel space in Mobile to accommodate 4000 people unless they sold out every bargain basement fire hazard motel in town, and also I'd much rather end up in new orleans after all that anyway, at least then I could get a decent drink.
to add to that, Mobile was not the intended stop they probably grabbed whatever was available and just hoped the ship was close by when it got there
>Tax evasion
Yes and no? Most cruise companies are based in Panama, because it's a tax haven, thus are subject to Panamanian law (when it's not contradictory to local law of whatever territory they enter)
I actually went in a cruise ship once, it was completely ok, nothing bad happened
Fixing most of the toilets was as easy as airlifting a generator and it took them four days to do that!!?
It's "ct-HUL-hu", he said it right.
Royal Caribbean doesn't seem to have all these kinds of problems
What kind of nerd brings a book on vacation
Never has the outro been more appropriate!
