- On 26 September 2000, waves push the MS Express Samina off course, causing it to hit a group of rocks off Paros and sink, killing 80 people. Subsequent investigation showed that the ferry was on autopilot, with the crew not monitoring the ship's course. They were instead watching an association football match.

![The Deadly Costa Concordia Cruise Ship Disaster - Part 1 [4K] | Wonder](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9aNe71OvThA/mqdefault.jpg)
There was a young man in his 20s. He was serving his mandatory military service. He SAVED LIVES that night. In a call with his father he said. "I can't leave. I Have to help them!" And he drowned. He was a true hero. His name was Vasilis Rahoutis.
Military service is mandatory? 🤔
@@FreelancerFreak In Greece it is. For 12 months.
@@sotosl5772 oh I didn't know that. Military service is voluntary here
@@FreelancerFreak that's good!
Thanks for bringing light on this. Your a hero Mr. Rahoutis. Your country is extremely proud of you, may you rest in peace.
That harbor master who put all his energy into speedily organizing the rescue is a true hero.
40 years old. So much for the Mediterranean diet
Your mother's a true hero for bringing you into this world to make such a heroic comment!

Bless the local fishermen who went out & rescued people!
This series honestly taught me that these fisherman are the only reliable help

@@titan4110 okay?
@@titan4110 yeah especially the police they're not worth a damn not a one of em.
@@titan4110 Yup, call the police for help and they'll end up shooting your dog dead, or even worse...
First officer Tassos Psychoyios, who had been watching the football on TV when the ship hit the rocks was sentenced to 19 years. The Captain Vassilis Giannakis got a 16-year sentence. Another 3 crew were sentenced to between 15 months and 8 years 9 months for a series of misdemeanours that included abandoning ship without the captain's permission
Abandoning ship without capitan's permission.....that reminded me of Costa Concordia where the capitan was the first one to flee. Lmao
@@karmazon8955 - Ah, but he "went for help"! lol
19 years not enough for 80 deaths. There were 61 crew on board, not one to seen while ferry is sinking?
@@kmuhammadshah7839 failure is like onions! With closed watertight compartments she would have been afloat, so you cant blame it on the first officer alone. Also, if the crew would have organized abandoning ship better it also would have caused a lot less lifes. Overall, it is the captains fault in my eyes. It is his ship and he allowed it, that complacency would be able to surpass safety. If he would have enforced a better safety culture on the ship non of that would have ever happend.
Ross, thanks for the update on how the ship's crew faired in court due to their dereliction of duty. I was a little surprised to hear the sentences handed down, being that they were quite long.
There is a local phrase in my hometown which says "If you are lazy with the easy now,you deal with the difficult later."
That is indeed quite wise.
All that in one word?
Global warming has entered the chat
u mean a phrase or a motto? cause i doubt ur hometown just has one local word, i think theyve got 14 words the most lol

Did I catch a Wonder episode immediately without noticing? Bliss! Cant wait to finish this one. Wonder is consuming my life.
It did but one hour before I sleep so I watch right now
This is a short documentary to watch on youtube! Thank you for watching! 💖 "The Connections (2021) [short documentary]" 💖
Damn. Imagine being the man they pulled onto the boat and knowing that, despite being inches away from safety, you still could've died if it wasn't for two people refusing to let go when everyone else wanted them to.
Props to all the heroes who participated in the rescue efforts!
It's frustrating to know that the ship was lost and 80 people died because the watertight doors were left open. It's also possible to have doors that require power to stay open; should the power fail then the doors close automatically.
It’s frustrating to know the crew were so irresponsible. I hope they got time. The couple that did the gender reveal that caused fires got time so I hope this crew does
That has to be balanced against people not being able to get out if the power fails. Or rescuers not being able to get in.
@@vonnero1250 I think you would have to weigh in favor to sacrifice the few to save the many.
@@skypeters3034 Freely citing Wiki, "First officer Tassos Psychoyios was sentenced to 19 years, while Captain Vassilis Giannakis received a 16-year sentence. Psychoyios had been watching a football match on television when the ship hit the rocks, according to witnesses. Three crew members were sentenced to between 15 months and 8 years 9 months for a series of misdemeanours that included abandoning ship without the captain's permission", and the company CEO jumped from his office window, 6 floors up. Port manageres died during the recovery actions.
This is a lot for maritime disasters, I believe.
Really really good suggestion
who just watched one of these documentries and now they cant stop (edit) omg ive never got so many likes before
Me I watched the mayday ones and now I can’t stop watching this
Me me, am now a notifications gang
Check out Fascinating Horror
It was a pretty generic comment posted early, on a video that will likely only be watched by people who already watch this type of documentary. Pretty easy to get likes on that
Your welcome BTW
This show is so addictive! So touching…..
@@GWN_Garage Hello! Excuse me, may I ask where you watch all the seasons? I can only watch until season 16. Thank you!
@Junior Hello!
@@Wisteria_Glycinia mayday (the plane version) is on paramount +. It’s called Air disasters on there and the voice over guy is different bc it’s the Smithsonian channel version but it’s literally the same exact show. There is also another show on there called Disasters at Sea if you’re looking for more ship disasters.
@@HeyItsSarah30 How different is it compared to the amazon prime version which I have been paying for ?
Her comments were very measured and disciplined- surrounded by panicking cowereds caring only for themselves she said only that a lot more could've been done - a very strong woman
You don't WAIT for someone to tell you what to do. You calm yourself, put on a life jacket, get into a raft, think as clearly as possible. Focus. The panic can kill people as much as the disaster.
Imagine being able to calm yourself during a disaster. A good number of people in the world won't be able to do step one. Thats why crew, who are trained to do so, need to be yelling orders and helping evacuation.
@@Alb410I agree with you, it is very easy to underestimate the true power of the survival instinct. I was in a pretty bad car crash a few years earlier and even though I see myself as a rational person that would react confident and smart in situations like that I did not - not at all. Can not blame any of the passengers for behaving the way they did, I would've probably done the same.
This is a prime example of “easier said than done”
@@Judge371 Exactly. Besides, you can calm yourself all you want but if a stampede runs you over and you get knocked out…
Ability to remain calm during any form of disaster is not granted - it´s something you discover about yourself, once the dangerous situation happens. The soldiers or some dangerous job workers from rely on training for those dangerous situations, as it is basically "hardcoded" into them, but most people don´t have any training. When you don´t know, what to do, it´s easy to fall into panic mode. And even with all the training, the ability to remain calm is not granted, so you might freak out and lose it.
So sad stressed this man out so much he had a heart attack and prayers to the victims and families terrible neglect
I took that as a sign that he really cared and tried to help all he could, and that he also put his all into it.
@@msms5435 exactly, there is only so much you can do from the shore but he did everything he could and then some. He was a good man.
It’s sad about the woman who couldn’t swim and drowned in front of the pair. It’s true about drowning people though. They will latch on to anything, anyone and not let go. In their panicked state, they don’t realize that they’re causing their rescuer to drown as well. The best way to handle a drowning person is to throw them a buoy and keep them as far as way from you as possible.
Yeah, I’m going to make sure my kids know how to tread water
What lifeguards won't tell you is that if they think someone's going to panic when they're saving them, they will straight up knock them out.much easier to pull them to safety if they don't have to fight them.
@@skypeters3034 teach them to swim
Everyone should learn how to swim, especially if you’re going on a boat. It’s totally irresponsible not to learn how to swim!
@@amberrose1108 of course swimming is only practical to do so to find debris or flotation somehow. Swimming over an hour will kill 75% of those who try without flotation
Then 14 years later a similar but even more tragic and deadlier sinking happened on the Sewol ferry in South Korea
Yeah I remember that one. Watched the documentary on what happened, how and why it sank. I can't believe people with all of their experience could make such a fatal error. I guess experience isn't always everything and for them their error was overloading their boat which caused it to capsize and sink with people including children told to remain inside while the captain abandoned ship. Smh
That was so sad 😭 all those people just stayed on the boat to drown like why 😢
They need to make a documentary of that!
And the queen of the north in Vancouver, bc 2006.
It wasn't all that similar. The Sewol sank because they made too sharp of a turn and the ship began to list. They weren't using autopilot and hadn't hit anything. The crew was paying plenty of attention which made the fact that they actually told all of those students to stay in their cabins even worse- they knew how bad it was and still chose not to get them out. It also was almost an hour between the time that it began to list and when the crew finally abandoned ship- still not making any attempt to get all of the people off. The only real similarity is that in both cases, the crew was extremely negligent and basically ignored the passengers.
MS Express Samina: *is on collision course towards the rocks*
Crew: I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that
Stamina?
@@kingssuck06 probably was a Autocorrect accident
@@crimsonsnow2469 yup
SOCCER!!
They should at least let 2 crew members monitor the ship's movements while in autopilot mode but nooooooo, all of them have to watch a TV show. Seriously?! What in the world are they thinking? Because of that, the ship sailed off course, hits the rocks, then sank to the bottom.
probably had a billion trips without a hitch previously. which resulted in complacency
the reason why the crew hasnt in the bridge.its for *that specific reason* .
at that time (2000) it has been a football match . which Panathinaikos FC faced the german team Hamburg (which Panathinaikos win that match 1-0). the crew didnt care that several Nautical Miles they will entered paros (and the two rock islands . Portes).
and kaboom. the ship hit the rock islands
and then Samina begans to sink slowly slowly (more like rapidly).
they didnt care that the ship starts to sink.
*They didnt care to help the passengers onboard to said that we are sinkin and please go to the nearest station to pick up life jackets and pull out the rafts* .
the crew have the members written on their b@lls and they left them helpless during the sinking . thats why... better help everyone than left them helpless.
Its because they were greeks.
@@kaisermartindergroe3711 half greeks are good people.the other half... another weird ones.
good ones are help each other .the other half no.
@@SteveSideris..2k02 Exactly, I was thinking the other lazy half
The person who drowned in front of them is so tragic. A few years ago a woman and her daughter were floating the river I had just gotten off my float and was leaving. I looked over and saw her and her maybe 5 year old daughter struggling. I put my arms out to grab her daughter first and she wouldn’t let go. She then began pulling her daughter down with her and I started slipping. I had to pry the little girl out of her arms while someone helped the mom. I don’t think she meant to push her daughter down but it’s the panic that sets in. I was traumatized by the look in her face and the little girls screams.
"There's still 3 hours to kill before the Samina arrives"
I think the Samina took care of the killing quite well.
You think?
Actually, it wasn't the Samina but a careless crew failing to obey the safety rules and leaving all of those doors open then failing to do their jobs and helping the passengers. That is basically what sank the Brittanic, leaving those doors open for the "convenience" of a lazy crew.
@@richardcline1337 when the brittanic sank, the force of the explosion jammed the doors open.
Are not going to address the fact that the crew basically said "nah you can all fend for yourselves"?
That may or may not have contributed to some of those 80 deaths
BlueBell88, I mean if I would know I'm gonna sink on that ship I would at least randomly attack and punch some of the people on board just to fulfill one of my dreams and punching random people into the face, do you know what I mean? Hm?
@@RequiemDream Judging your personality you would sit in a corner without doing anything crying for help and IF you survived later on tell your bodies how cool you were and how many people you helped.
@@dargus1718 so true. You hit the nail on the head
One common denominator in most ship sinkings is as the ship lists more than 20 degrees the life boats become impossible to launch. You would think the naval architects who design these ships could come up with a new and better way of launching the life boats.
there are ... but money xD
There are. But when designing them they're stuck between a balance of money and safety. And following human instinct they choose money.
HRU's or Hydro-static Release Units are the best option in these situations. Able to be manually deployed or automatically deployed after the ship sinks. They look like white barrels in the stowed configuration.
Pivot mounts, and guide rails
Inflatable life rafts as an option?
Those girls who pulled that man into the boat, good on them. You don't just watch someone die without doing something about it. You really get to see who's who when there is a disaster or a tragedy. It really forces ppl to show who they are. As good as some are, many are not.
The rest were cowards i couldn't just sit there
Professional first responders also say don't become another victim. All I say is keep your head cool and don't be too quick in judging others. Many people have drowned trying to rescue others.
@@FreelancerFreak Not at all, I imagine they didn't want to help because they were terrified that the lifeboat would capsize. They were in an impossible situation.
Like that disgusting man who told the lady not to help the older women bc she would "pull them under." The old lady died. 😥
There is no way I would’ve let anyone die if I could avoided it.
This dude cared about the rescue he had a heart attack wow.
Ikr so sad man
If you thought the crew's actions on the Express Samina were negligent, search up the crew's actions on the MTS Oceanos.
What about the MV Sewol crew
m/s scandinavian star Is just as bad. Some crew member from seaescape started the fire and they kicked blocks away from the fire doors when the fire crew started putting out the blaze.
@@Yukis.aviation the captain got what he deserved
When i order abandon ship it doesnt matter what time i leave, abandon is for everyone
@@skylineXpert And if the Captain was doing a road trip with someone and stopped to stretch his legs or use the bathroom, and that someone wanted to go and abandoned him there, they would say “ When I feel I’m ready to go, it doesn’t matter whether you’re in the vehicle or not, going is for everyone. If you don’t want to go you can stay.
I hate when people compare every ship collision/sinking to the Titanic. I get that that's the most well known thing to compare it to, but seriously. Also, IIRC both the Herald of Free Enterprise and the Estonia were designed with bow doors that were left unlocked and were forced open by heavy seas not stern doors which would be almost if not impossible to force open.
Well, this is very similar to Titanic, undeniable. Also the flaw pointed out with this design wasn't the bow door failing but having a one whole level open and undivided which is very susceptible to flooding and capsizing since the water will always accumulate on one side.
Yeah, and large every explosion is like an "atom bomb" and any damage to an area or building is always "like a war zone".
For a lot of people that's the only sinking they know of off hand.
The thought you had to stay outside...in a storm...is next level smooth-brain thinking
fishy.
And they think they lived because of it. Sorry, but most of the people survived and only these two dumbasses thought they couldn't go inside
@@JStryker7 Yeah, I don't know why they made a big deal about that.
@@romanc.5074 they are the eyewitness..first to watch the collision. Maybe it make them feel humble by the experience
@@travelerforever8849 To one of them yes to the other one, not at all.
So after binge watching all the plane crashes, I think, well this is a nice little change. So, so wrong.
I literally just thought the same!
Dont worry! All three spin-off Mayday episodes have been uploaded. Next wewk we will back to the main topic!
What part of "mayday" gives you the feeling of "this'll turn out ok"?
I now officially don't want to ever fly or take another cruise!
I had seen so many plane crashes, now I'm watching ship and train crashes to even it out
Our ships are as safe as the eyes on watch.
Yes, indeed, well said. A lesson to us all who have responsibilities.
Thanks to all the rescuers.. the ones who were sleeping and got up and out to help. Went out into the sea in their undies to do what was needed. Helping others who might have been the ones that let others die in their panic
I wish these commercials would stop using such a loud obnoxious music it's really insulting
Iceberg: Who are you?
Rockberg: Im you, but stronger.
Haha, very funny...
Crew - Nah watertight doors aren't important they slow us down too much.
Davy Jones locker - Hold my beer
Hehe. Your yt channel seems interesting ;)
Do you fear deaatha?
"Hey baby I wanna take you to Paros...."
"Oh I love you thats wonderful Paris!"....
"Um where are we?"
"Paros"
"Paros?"
"Paros."
"Oh"
That’s what I thought
So horrible and so preventable--had the crew been paying attention as they should have done. RIP to all those who died on that stormy night.
I remember watching the tragedy unfold on TV and I couldn't stop wondering what the hell was the crew thinking! It was indeed a national tragedy for my country. The captain should have been jailed for life. Instead he's already released from prison!! That's just outrageous!!! If anyone ever wants to visit our islands, here's a tip. If you're visiting any of our Cyclades islands (Paros, Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini etc...) choose vessels of either "Blue Star Ferries" or "Hellenic Seaways" companies. If you want to visit Crete, choose either "ANEK Lines" or "Minoan Lines". Here's one more tip coming from my father who has visited many of our islands when younger. Avoid any vessel with the word "express" before its main name. If the word is mentioned after the main name of the vessel, it's safe. It just means that it's a very quick one. I hope neither my country nor any other country in the world will ever face such a tragedy again.
Agreed! 🇬🇷
Interesting. Can you elaborate a bit why the word 'Express' is not OK after the main name?
I have not been in any of the ferries in Greece, but I know they are very popular, and Greek islands used to be a popular destination for holiday. Hopefully that can soon resume... Ya sas from Finland
Went to Naxos last summer, I can confirm Hellenic Seaways is very good.
Helpful advice. Just returned from Greece and a ferry trip to Spetses. There are SO many ferries to choose from. How do you know which are the safest?
@@barbarab7049 Spetses is quite close to our central port compared to other islands so I'm guessing the ferries to that island is pretty safe. For longer voyages, choose vessels of the companies: "Hellenic Seaways", "Blue Star Ferries" and if you're headed for Crete: "Minoan Lines" and "ANEK Lines" :)
Great job on documenting this tragic event. The explanation of the cause of the disaster and its effect on the ship was very well done, easy to understand and thorough.
20 minutes in- my thoughts…
The women handing out life jackets and holding on to whoever they could… whatever their end…
Heroes, selfless heroes.
You guys at Wonder are fantastic! Thank you do much for sharing these amazing documentaries!
Wonder didn’t own all documents but another company deleted it, company Wonder they decided to copy everything movie
@@diegojovi8609 What exactly are you trying to say? Wonder didn’t “copy” anything. They actually had nothing to do with the production of Mayday.

Bonjour, merci pour ce reportage.
J’étais sur le Samina avec ma cousine Mahaut. Nous avons passé le voyage sur le pont supérieur
à l’avant car nous trouvions trop pénible de rester à l’intérieur même avant que la tempête se lève. Nous étions une bonne dizaine de personnes sur le pont supérieur avant que le bateau ne heurte le rocher. Ma cousine a été sauvée par des pêcheurs après avoir sauté du canot de sauvetage où elle avait pu être hissée. De mon côté je n’ai pu monter dans un canot et j’ai été sauvée par GEORGE KOURTELIS et ses coéquipiers, KOSTAS, SOTIORIS, KOSTA, les marins du bâteau VALENTINE.
Nous avons ensuite été hébergées dans une petite maison sur la place en face de l’hôpital chez l’adorable Madame TASSIA LIANOPOULOU et sa famille.
Love these types of documentaries
Ship documentaries or Mayday specifically?
It's insane that the 2 girls on the deck didn't think they could go inside..
Can't thank you enough for this amazing documentary, that of a very unfortunate event :(
It's so touching to see all those people struggling to rescue themselves from being drowning in the middle of the ocean when their ship started sinking into the water.
This is like the RENA sinking here in New Zealand ,,
They hit the only rock in 20miles , ran right up onto it,,
turned out , the 3rd mate or something was driving while everyone else got drunk..
The Rena sank after this ship
This made me cry... Thank God for those that helped instead of today, people will film it.
And sell the footage to TMZ and World Star smh.
MERCI à toutes les personnes qui nous ont sauvées, aidées, accueillies. Nous ne les oublierons jamais.
Respect to you and and the people that rallied to save the people, thank you for recognizing them'
The Olympic class of ocean liners, and many others of the early 1900s, all had watertight doors that would automatically close if water reached them. How in the world did we lose that technology?
Maybe the power going out might of prevented them from automatically closing?
@@Jared-Cooper The Oympic class had them mechanically close if water filled in, it was some form of plate that if water filled it would trigger the door without power.
Customers didn't like having to step over the hatch coaming.
because they should have been closed all along. Also, the loss of power also induced, that those doors could have only been closed manually.
@@Jared-Cooper Might have.
Don't just train the crew to save themselves, they should also save the passengers.
Passengers first is how it's supposed to go. Almost every pilot will wait until the plane/boat is assumed empty, then walk through to ensure it IS empty. Last they get off.
Since everyone refers to Titanic when they see a ship sink, remember the Captain refused to get off because there were still people on the ship. The Concordia Captain abandoned the ship while people were still on board, he was arrested.
Thank you. I was looking forward for this Serie. Great job Wonder. Wonder is my fav.
I know both were completely different circumstances and number of passengers and crew, but this happened six years after MS Estonia went down with 852 lives lost in the Baltic Sea (mentioned at end of video) That one will be left alone but as for the Samina, it was announced last year that the wreck will be raised but probably will be several years before any actual attempt.
The Estonia was a very horrific disaster: a very inexperienced and negligent Captain, there was no watertight door behind the visor in case it fell off, and the ship rolled over so much and so quickly that over 700 out of the 989 people were still inside the ship as it went down.
😭😭
Yeah... the Estonia was sabotaged and is being covered up by multiple governments... totally different case.
Ι WATCHED YESTERDAY A DOC ABOUT THE ESTONIAN SHIP
Wonder documentaries are addictive
They are re releases................ not wonder. don't give them credit for maydays documentary mastery....
im a fan of aviation not trains and ships but your documents are so interesting that i love watching all mayday films
MAYDAY MAYDAY MY VESSEL BROKEN!
Every crewman that was on that should be prevented if not banished from being on a ship, ferry, or any type of boat. These people the crew killed 80 passengers, plus the guy with a heart attack. Prayers to those who survived and prayers to families who did not survive.
It's like an hour of law and order svu. Soon as it's over you'll watch another episode or ten then the day is over and your like wtf lol.
I have been to Paros many times and have always heard of this disaster. Thank you for making a documentary about it.
The fact that this disaster happened not too long ago, makes the Costa Concordia disaster even worse.
Familiarity breeds contempt. The crew became complacent due to their familiarity of the ship and the normal operation. My hope is that when engineers design any systems their primary goal is not just to build something cool but to build something that is the coolest, something designed to prevent loss of life, first and foremost. I don't know how they are today but those water tight doors should automatically close after each opening, in a reasonable time. They should only be able to remain open with a manual tag out/lockout process and, at that, no more than two compartments should be exposed until the tag out/lockout issue has been corrected. And there should be some form of pressurized system that would close those those doors should water be sensed while they are open. They don't have to slam shut but they should close. Yes, crew might be trapped in a flooding compartment but like pilots on an airplane, that is a risk and responsibility you sign up for when you join the crew of an ocean going vessel. Like on an aircraft, safety innocent people outside the craft first, passengers second, then the crew. Sadly, that ship sank mostly from human laziness and unprofessional operation.
So you're willing to give up someone else's life in front of your own .good to know
@@Rusty_Nickle No dipwad, but if I am a pilot, captain, or crew I accept the risks in order to SAVE the INNCOENT lives of passengers, or bystanders! Clown. Sounds like you would kill others to save yourself though.
You said it right..my heart breaks too😭
So sad😪. The doors that left open, the man who organized the rescue. Everything about this is so tragic.
They were AT WORK! They literally signed a price of paper laying out all of their responsibilities as crew members and they couldn't close a door?! Really? Not just one. Nine. Nine were left open because it " took too much time".
I still remember it unraveling.
Really haunting!
Boating is one of the few things I can think of where people are MORE inclined to help than not. When ever there is a boat sinking you dont hear about a lot of close by boats saying nah were busy or ignoring the calls for assistance. Only ones who seem to do that are ones that are struggling themselves and literally can not help
I mean professional and leisure craft operators not random passengers
Whoow, been up waiting for mayday Thursdays! 😂💯
Lol u even know their schedules
Many accidents occur due to sheer carelessness rather than unavoidable technical faults Even the legendary Titanic
The way I was waiting for an episode yesterday evening,I slept feeling bad....mayday is in blood
If I happen to be on a lifeboat I would give my life preserver to the the people who are swimming in the water. At least they don’t drown in the water. Save your safe first then other.
Didn't know there's a ship version of mayday
I'm assuming it's turning into Seconds of Disaster.
Mayday also does train disasters

There were lights on top of them!
Why I watch this at midnight? RIP this is really tragic. I never heard about negligence like this.

Did the British narrator narrator just call "Football" "Soccer"? Sounds so surreal 😂
It's american. They call football "soccer" as to not confuse it with their "football" - which should rather be called handegg instead.
@@ArxInvicta Yes I know that! But if I'm not mistaken the show is a British production? Which is why I'm wondering why he called it Soccer instead of Football.
Because its a canadian show and they dubbed over the original narrator
Excellent stoked fantastic job fellows!!!
People carrying belongings with a hand they could’ve lent out to help someone else survive. Shame on them. I hope they remember the faces they could’ve helped but decided a set of headphones were more important.

Love these true stories
The greed of holding onto a wet stereo system, the woman holding her bag - it was her entire life.
I've unfortunately been in several horrific disasters, including two huge forest fires that raced toward homes so fast we barely had time to run out.
One woman kept trying to go back and get her makeup. Neighbors had to physically drag her, screaming, into a car and drive her away from the flames, which were like tornadoes. She would have died for that makeup. Other people had to take care of her CHILDREN, who she never said a word about.
Selfish witch blessed with children and don't care about them. If I had children, they would have been my FIRST PRIORITY.
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I’m glad you made it out.
funny how old boat is going to collect a big insurance check when you retire a ship owners get nothing but this gets owners insurance payout for loss of ship.ship personnel have made this crossing so many times this really sounds so crazy for a captain so experienced on this tradgity.
you are wrong. Big insurance payout for the deaths and injuries but very little for the 34 year old ship. You don't understand how insurance companies work.
Well, a lot of them got serious jail time.
That ship would not be insured for replacement value. Plus there would be huge payouts to the victims families.
8:16 lmao. Imagine thinking that your 3rd class tickets are just for sleeping on the deck 🤦♀️😂
I like the content of this channel..i have to watch an episode after day's work..before i sleep.
Closing and locking doors don't slow you down as much as death does. You do you job, particularly when other lives are depending on the job being done.
Binge watching this series. Because insomnia. Looks like I won't be getting on an airplane or a boat anytime soon. Like ever again.
😂😺
Its like you always enjoy the first minutes of the video, people are going on vacations visiting loved ones having a blast and you almost forget that you're watching a Mayday documentary.
I remember this disaster...I was in my early 20s... what a national tragedy. at least here justice was served in contrast to what happened on Concordia.
as a greek. i know that story.
it happened 2 years before exactly i born.
my father tells me that story bout Samina
it has too complicated to remember it.
that Ship firstly has been in french hands and after in Greek hands.
last Company who had that vessel (till it sinking in 2000) its Minoan Flying Dolphins (now Hellenic Seaways).
he do the route Peraus to Samos with stopover in Paros and Ikaria.
the problem is..
despite greece its a beautifull country.its notoriously known for the winds .
he can reach and even 12 Beauforts depending if the weather is worst of the worst. eg:
samina has been on worst weather while traveling to its first stopover (Paros).
after the accident .
Minoan Flying Dolphins defunct and the Rename the company (which is Hellenic Seaways).
*rip to those who they lost the lives and those who they lose someone who they love*
That means you're still a kids
@@minetlav5110 more like not born yet.this happened in 2000 . now im 19 and that accident its very weird..but if you go to paros and tell the story of Samina.they will tell you alot of thinks bout the sinkin.and that event (Sink of Samina) have been 6 years after the Estonia (which result the death of many people onboard.same vessel type (ro/ro) but diffrent desing and bulding and dimensions and many more things).2 months after the accident the owner of the shipowner-vice-president-managing (of Minoan Flying Dolphins .now Hellenic Seaways).comitted suicide cus for the accident of Express Samina (the original given name for the ship).and 5 years after the accident.the trial of the crew of MS Samina has begun. the crew sestenced from 4,6,9,16 and 19 years each (the captain sestenced to 16 yrs imprisoment later reduced to 11 and Leutenant of the ship 19 yrs and reduced to 12.the other sestenced to 8 yrs and after reduced to 5 and the last guy 4 and later reduced to 2½ years).
and the company fined (not sure if they fined heavilly or .that they defunct.and they returned to the seas 5yrs later with another name.
(Hellenic Seaways is the new one).
for the others its fine . but for the others who they lose their life on this event its way more sad. its too sad to lose a friend or a family member who u care alot to an accident like these (airplane,ship,train or car accident).and that give a huge amount of PTSD that the brain cant let them go eassily.
@@SteveSideris..2k02 good for you!
the only lucky circumstance in this tragedy was that water wasn't cold... if that happened in the cold water of Baltic or North Atlantic, many survivors probably wouldn't made it, even though it happened so close to the port and the coast.
Almost every time a ferry or cruse ship sinks the crew are useless cowards. Even in rail accidents the surviving crews just run.
Yes incompetent crew.
a crew is always as good as it is trained. You want your ferry ride on the cheap-cheap? Your crew will be trained on the cheap-cheap.
Wow I was very fast to find an episode without notification 😂
Whenever I go on trips on a ferry, I always make a mental note where the exits are in every room or dinning area I enter, I also take selfies with all the locations where the numerous life boats cling to the side of the ferry ship. So when disaster strikes, you best believe I will be one of the first ones out of that room with a life vest on and getting safely either on a life boat that i took selfies with or clinging to the side of a outside walkway facing the sky and ready to jump into the water in seconds, saved my life a couple of times as a yacht charter crew member.
Wow you are very paranoid! You can do whatever you want. When your time has come, nothing will save you, everyone has a fixed appointment with the angel of death.
@@unknown6715 I've delayed that appointment many times but yeah you're right one day...... but not today.
I'm the same way in restaurants. (I live in the middle of the continental U.S., so being at sea isn't really a concern for me. Also I don't do selfies.) But my Dad and I have to compete for the paranoid chair- he has PTSD and I have agoraphobia w/panic attacks. So we always know where the exits are and the best routes to them, and also we like to maintain some line of sight to the front door with a barrier in between to duck behind, that's my ideal position- to have clear sight to the front door with a barrier for protection and near an emergency exit. If I were on a ship I'd prefer to be on the deck near a railing or inside but only one door away from the deck. I'm fat enough to float, but that just means getting trapped inside would be more of a nightmare for the same reason wearing a life jacket inside is.
@@unknown6715 Everyone has to die sometimes, but some people would rather give themselves every chance of being able to die peacefully in their sleep instead of in utter terror helplessly watching death approach.
@@unknown6715 Whenever you hear of survivors in shootouts or any other disasters. That's us and the rest are just people who gave up.
Whoever wasn’t doing their jobs due to a football game should get life in prison.
They got 19 years in prison
Could you put a bit more advertisements in the episodes? I think one every 2 min is not enough...
I remember when this was reported on NY News Channels when it happened. Its awful hearing about ships sinking and people dying or injured.
i was a 17 when this happened , it was tragic many people died. I had traveled with this ship when it was called apollo express some time in the 90 s (i think its was 95 or 96) , very old ship....
was called 'golden vergina'

Incompetent crew. I hope they filed lawsuits against the company.
My heart hurts for these people 🥺😩 that poor 4 year old & his father 💔💔 Rest In Peace to all the lives lost 😢
Ahh the good old MS Estonia. This one was bad but at least the entire bow of the ship didn't fall off.
