- On 13 January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia struck an underwater rock, capsized after it struck rocks off the coast of Giglio Island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, and sank in shallow waters off Tuscany, resulting in 32 deaths. It is the worst cruise disaster the Titanic. More than 4,200 people were rescued, though 32 people died. Several of the ship’s crew, notably Capt. Francesco Schettino, were charged with various crimes.

The judge who sentenced the captain called him a 'Reckless Idiot' I think he hit the nail on the head there.
that soo called captain is a coward!
@Paul What a Coward.
I'm wondering how much time the captain got ?
@@fernandogallardo3458 He had enough time to do the right thing but no he decided to flee instead.
Coward Captain👎🏻😠He knew his mistake hour before, he could save the 32 lost lives 😞 and left the Cruiship First 😞
I truly enjoyed the Coast Guard guy reading the Captain for the filth he is. "Oh, it's dark and you want to go home...GET BACK ON BOARD RIGHT NOW!!"
De Falco is a true captain and badass. When he said “YOU abandoned ship. IM in command now” that’s a real man
Tf up
The translated radio conversation between the Italian Coast Guard and the "captain" was epic. I remember listening to it the moment it was released to the public. Captain claimed to slip and fall into a life boat and the CG ridiculed him for wanting to go home to have soup with mommy while his passengers and crew are dying.
My personal favourite was his warning to Schettino that he ‘might have saved [himself] from the sea’ but that he was ‘going to cause him a world of trouble’
I mean bro was out there trying to save himself it’s literally survival of the fittest on a sinking ship
Yeah, so clean!
He "slipped and fell" into a boat. My 8 year old could've come up with a better story...
@@aeoe665 No. If you're the captain, you're the last one off. Period. Bro.
The engineering that went into raising that ship was in itself a modern marvel.
Amazing how some humans who pick up the pieces after disaster strikes, can be so Intelligent, Yet the humans put in charge to keep disaster from happening can be so dumb.
RIP to all who were lost on the terrible night, and God Bless the ones who are still with us today.
What a wonderful comment. One of the best and most sensible I’ve read for a long time. Many thanks. 👍👍
Yes, you said it so well. It was an incredible documentary to watch their salvage efforts of stupendous proportions.
The South African authorities declined to grant official recognition of the achievements that brought South African Salvage Master Captain Nick Sloane and South Africa international fame.
The Society of Master Mariners awarded Captain Sloane a gold medal, created to honor him, its highest honor to a fellow mariner after the state's reluctance to recognize the significance achieved and the international recognition generated by Captain Sloane's leadership.💜 RIP all lost souls.🌹❤
Millions had doubts in me. I kept pushing forward. I am master engineer and salvage expert nick SLOANE cape town South Africa 🇿🇦
@@JMAC-rs6ey thank you Nick 🙏🏼💕
@@mrkipling2201 sensible? People died! This is not when you should be sensible.
Commander De Falco actually told Schettino "vada a bordo, cazzo".
Which basically translates into "fuc*ing get on board".
He instantly became Italy's new idol.
It’s always so sad when they introduce someone who was on the ship/plane/whatever in a documentary and then their family is interviewed because you know that they were one of the people killed. That always gets to me.
IKR?! It was heartbreaking to listen to the mother, brother & friends talk about the violinist who lost his life. His brother said he applied for work on land in an orchestra because I guess the novelty of working on a cruise ship had run its course. He seemed like such a humble, sweet man. No one should have died in this. He was all alone.🌹❤
It’s terrible how easily this could have been prevented. So much pride in the captain in never admitting something was wrong and getting everyone to evacuate before it became too late.
However, it’s so cool to see how ready the people were to sacrifice their homes, towels, blankets, etc. Such amazing people!
Just like the captain, crew and passengers of the RMS Carpathia.
I wonder if part of it was he didn't want to face the fact that the ship was sinking and he knew, that as cpt, he would be held responsible. He was in denial.
The island came through CLUTCH for these people. If I’d been on that ship, I’d make a point of coming back to thank them as profusely as I could.
❤
I'm not the superstitious type. Nothing could go wrong on Friday the 13th of January 2012 on the 100th year anniversary of the titanic on a ship that's also only safety rated for two compartments flooding Especially not when you have a five-star max level captain like Francisco Scatino
HaHa
Cemortan: "Passenger?"
Brenda: "Yeah, I got you! I got you on camera!"
good one .)
Eyyy Internet Historian
I saw that video by internet historian! It's so great man.
2112 - Don't sail on a ship this year!
2012 - CC
1912 - Titanic
🤯
Yes
Coast guard: ”captain get back to your ship!”
Captain Schettino: “It’s dark out”
Coast guard: “it’s dark out and you want go home Schettino?!”
Coast Guard commander was a savage
@@stevencarr5294 Wasn't he brilliant!
De Falco wasn't havin it! Lol!
Timestamp?
@@stevencarr5294 He was very aware that the Captain's cowardice and incompetence would kill people that night.
In all the documentaries I've seen of this tragedy, this is the first time I'm hearing about the deputy mayor going onboard to try and help. Pellegrini risked his life to get people off that ship and he wasn't even a passenger or part of the crew. He's a hero in my book and I'm disappointed it's taken ten years for me to learn about him.
Pellegrini was a hero
This happened nearly 100 years after the Titanic disaster. Concordia - Jan 2012, Titanic - April 1912. If the Costa Concordia had sunk in deeper waters, it would have been the 21st-century version of the Titanic sinking.
I can just imagine what Costa Concordia's underwater shipwreck would have look like..
The death toll would have been closer to that of the Titanic, and it’s possible it could have been higher than that if that had been the case instead of what actually happened.
Also, in both cases, you had the stagnation of the order to evacuate the ship.
I always wonder what would happen if a cruise ship bigger than the titanic would actually sink like it
@@kendrickmiguelcabe6777 It might sink it might not depending on the damage
The Hungarian violinist was rescuing people. He us a HERO!❤ RIP dear man!🙏
I can’t believe that the officers and especially the captain bailed and got out as quick as they could. Absolute COWARDS
That's what the captain and crew did on the Sewol Ferry. That's a tragic incident.
They were POS
I love the conversation between the De Falco and Schettino. De Falco wasn't taking any of Schettino's BS. I love it.
lol you would love it more if you understood the italian language!
That was difficult to hear that Captain try to avoid the devastation he caused. This is a horrible tragedy that never ever should of happened .
I was waiting for wonder to cover this one! This accident was so senseless, handled so careless at the hands of the captain and could have definitely been prevented
I'm glad we could cover it for you, Raymond! Part Two coming next week 👀
I just watched part 2. Is there a part 3? I'd like to know how it was handled in the courts.
This could’ve been another titanic and everyone would’ve died.
not only the captain other 12 people were reponsible for that in some way
Moment of silence for the 32 person that lost their lives 😔😔
32 ?! I have no words..... It's beyond awful. ((( RIP
The Captain was a disgrace of a man. Reckless and a cowered. Didn't care about the people on board to help them. People died and he was one of the first people off. glad he served time behind bars. I hope this haunts him for a long time.
Agreed, the accident was bad enough, career ending for sure, but the response was more than criminal. Once he was told, engine room flooded, nothing working, we are drifting, which was what, 3-5 minutes after the hit, at that point, all that is left to do is abandon ship, everyone to lifeboats and get off. No one had to die, get injured, suffer mental trauma ect. it was all preventable, they had plenty of time, like an hour I believe before the ship rolled to get everyone off. That is what makes this incident so bad.
He's alive though
@@brimis5349 absolutely. Plus it was in shallow water and right next to land. If the abandon ship order was given as soon as the problem was first noticed then nobody would have died. Apart from making me feel very sad, it makes me feel very angry and that’s one of the main reasons why.
I hope so too. Disgusting man
@@ireneangelucci3733 So disgusting
"...at 51 he was an experienced captain."
Yes an experienced captain who went from head of security and then mysteriously promoted to captain in a few short months. Also causing collisions with two other ships he was I'm command of.
Really? I would appreciate some links with that information, I didn't know this.
And a captain who was having a liaison with his mistress when the Concordia hit the rocks.
Schettino did serve as a ferry captain with Tirrenia before he became head of security under Costa Cruises. Which probably explains how he ended up as captain of Costa Concordia this quickly. Otherwise it's illegal to promote someone who has no prior experience to captain straight away.
@@michaelwen5540 illegal promotions happen all the time.
didnt the useless captain let his mistress out first, them himself
Can we please applaud DeFalco for tearing Schettino a few new holes?!?! He's got mine.
God Bless all the Island residents that helped the survivors ❤
Luckily all the cruises I have been on have avoided such tragedy, but I cannot imagine the terror that the passengers would've felt during that time. RIP.
Same. I feel like a survivor now.
I would never go on a cruise 🛳 one of my clients was murder by her husband in their cabin sealing forever my thoughts of ever get on those traps.
@@denitzilla Lol, wow you sound like a real go-getter. You know the number of cruises that take place per annum where NOTHING goes awry!? Thousands. If we all thought that way no one would get a damn thing done.
@@denitzilla Good grief. Most of the time when things go wrong they've had too much to drink and fell overboard. Just stay sober or get an inside cabin (and go alone).
I feel more anger than terror. It really makes me mad that literally the 100th anniversary of the Titanic tragedy and this is STILL happening?! The crew were incompetent! It's despicable. I stone cold refuse to get on any Carnival ships. Follow the paperwork and license/registration. Costa Lines is owned by the cruise giant Carnival Corporation.
I feel so much sadness for the mother of the violinist. She looks like she is in a lot of pain.
I got into disaster documentaries after watching Internet Historian's video on the Costa Concordia. That lead me to this channel, it's all coming full circle.
Mayday- ACI series, highly recommended ;-)
"Disasters of the Century" does more lesser known disasters.
Internet Historian has some of the best videos on UA-cam, sucks he doesn’t upload often but when he does, it’s like Christmas morning.
@@caracastling348 Thanks for the rec! will definitely check it out :)
@@maujo2009 I already watch Mayday and I love it!
I’m sorry but that captain Scatino guy is the human equivalent of the soggy bits of food left in the sink after washing the dishes. How can anyone, let alone the captain, abandon a sinking ship full of innocent people in good conscience. My deepest condolences to all those on board, alive and dead.
Coward!
I remember I was in secondary school when this happened and a classmate of mine had showed us a picture of him with the captain on the Costa Concordia a few weeks before this tragedy. When we heard it on the news we were all in shock, especially him... RIP to everyone who lost their lives :(
I was in elementary and heard bout it but payed it no mind , it’s nice to get answers as a adult.
The citizens of Giglio island are ANGELS.
Great Italia 🇮🇹
Also the Major, he is a hero who went IN the ship when the captain was fleeing.
I’ll never tire of the recording where the Coast Guard won’t take the captain’s bs and demands him to reboard the ship..(even though the coward never returns)
The coast guard grilled that captain really good
The coastguard was spot on!
I was on the Concordia that night and will be haunted by the screams of my fellow passengers for the rest of my life.
I’m sorry that happened I hope you feel better
Im glad you survived so sad the negligence of the crew cost so many
😢😢😢 I watched it all unfold on the news and it scared me & I said so many prayers for all of those passengers & crews…
How many people did you save
Man, I'm sorry that happened to you.
never go to your cabin during an emergency like this!!!! Even if the captain says so
You know your ship’s captain is a piece of 💩 when the mayor of the local town gets onboard and does more to save lives on the ship than the captain. All while the captain is scurrying away. Definitely in the running for worst captain of all time.
I think the title for worst captain still goes to that guy who abandoned ship without ever telling his passengers, mostly children, to abandon ship. It was that Korean ferry.
@@deprofundis3293 oh wow that really is low down. I will have to check that one out. Are there any documentaries that you know of ???
@@amberjones9520 Brick Immortar did a really good video on it but only Part 1 so far. Also The New Yorker has a video about it. Just search for Sewol ferry.
@@arielbt1724 thank u so much. Im about to look for that right now.
@@amberjones9520 sorry for the late reply! Yes that Sewol ferry incident, there isn't a lot yet, but there are some things on it. Honestly, it will go down in history, and the only reason it hasn't been made into more documentaries is because it's fairly recent. So, there are sensitivities, politically...but still. Such a horrific and avoidable tragedy.
"You don't need to panic until you hear the general emergency alarm"
*alarm starts going off*
Not often you laugh during these sad stories but damn, timing is everything.
I cruise with my husband who is wheelchair bound - how he would ever have got off a ship in these circumstances I do not know. We did a cruise in 2017 with another cruise line that took an almost identical route.
i imagine he would have to be carried at a certain point
they would of got him. handicap ppl are reduced with women and children
That deputy mayor was so brave to go out and get on the ship to help. He could’ve died when it turned over. He was home and safe and chose to go out. Oof.
They made ppl die when they didn’t have to all because the captain refused to admit that he made a mistake
The thing that angers me the most is the bridge not giving the abandon ship order as soon as they knew that the situation was serious and that the buoyancy of the Concordia was compromised. If that was carried out then I’m pretty certain that nobody would have died. The captain and the senior crew members who should have given that order were more concerned with saving their own lives, jobs and reputations than the people who’s lives were in their hands. So avoidable and unnecessary.
I hope the captain has seen the footage of the family w/the two terrified little girls who had to have thought they were going to die. I'm glad their father did everything to calm their fears despite he could recognize the dire events unfolding all around them. And that captain had his own wife and daughter at home while he's sneaking mistresses on his ships and apparently likes cocaine...great dad as a role model!
@@isabellind1292 he brought his mistress to the bridge of the ship apparently!! Cocaine, hookers and booze were probably more important to him than the safety of the people under his control.
How could any bridge crew from that ship keep reputation?
watching this while on a cruise 🥲… may they rest in peace.
Wow! It sounds like there was zero leadership during this accident….☹️
32 people died, grand and expensive ship had to be scrapped, add on cost of recovery operations, all because the married captain wanted to show off to his side booty.
Total insanity
That Italian coast card guy is my spirit animal. Thank you sir for saying everything we were all thinking.
This is horrible I couldn’t imagine the pain of those who lost family members that night …
I totally forgot about this, 4 days late. It has really been 10 years and I was 9 at the time... in 2017, the year when scrapping of this ship was finished, on a Sunday we visited Trieste on a family trip with my sister and parents. As we arrived at the harbour, very surprisingly we came face to face with the docked Costa Mediterranea for the very first time and although they're not sister ships, Mediterranea reminded me of Concordia. Seeing a cruise ship was my lifelong dream, even if we weren't going on board which would've been absolute wonder inside my entire body. I also remember going with the family to a shop and while in there, we heard 3 loud, long blows of a horn. I immediately knew what it was and when we came back I was right: It was the cruise ship, signalling departure and we watched as she reversed and took a left turn out of the harbour. That day was the first time I've been in Italy and saw a cruise ship in person, and that being nothing but a surprise not just to me, but us the family. *Imagine, going to a country you've always wanted to visit, but getting a surprise there too.* For us, that surprise was at a port city near the border.
Anyone realize that this happened on Friday the 13th, in the deadliest month of the year "January", 100 years after the Titanic disaster, and the same year that many thought was Earth's end? Edit: I also realized that this has been posted on the 10 year anniversary of the ship's disaster.
Gj mr know it all
Loved hearing the coast guard commander fry the captain over the radio
Aww..residents of Guilin and everyone, you were incredible….thanks so much ..
The video shown at 16:24 - 16:35 of water flowing down stairs is from the Carnival Paradise in 2009.
Oh really?
I could listen to that Italian gentleman scream at the captain to get back on the ship all day.
How many are dead? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME CAPTAIN!
I been in the ocean at night it's dangerous..needless to say I would have swam to shore but man those elderly and people who could not swim ..sad 😢
Excellent stoked fantastic groovy job fellows!!
It’s terrible how easily this could have been prevented. So much pride in the captain in never admitting something was wrong and getting everyone to evacuate before it became too late.
Wow. Read the room bro.
16 years of prison for the coward captain was not enough. Life in prison would have been suitable.
At least life is what he should of got. No amount of time would be enough for this senseless tragedy
Compared to the Greek ferry that sunk because the crew was watching a soccer match, where fewer passengers were on board but 80 died, and no organised effort other than what the islanders of some greek island (equally small) did to help with their own personal boats... this looks like a perfect rescue. Perhaps the Italian CG should've come to help them. the GCG didn't.
Looks like it was dramatically clearer conditions and water as well as much closer to land. That being said, I've never understood how so many people died in the Greek ferry accident when they were still not TERRIBLY far from land.
Rest easy to the victim that is less talked about, suite little five-year-old Dayana Arlotti
It’s known that she unfortunately fell into a flooded area of the ship, but I’ve also seen reports of the baby and her father being turned away from a life boat. Apparently her dad also made a great mistake by going back to his cabin to try to retrieve his medicine, people tried to tell him that they could get him more but I guess things just didn’t go as planned.
That's awful!((((( RIP
I remember reading about this tragedy from a children news paper when I was 10 years old
Why would you wanna do a sail by salute at night time? One of many bad decisions that Captain made that whole trip
It was to impress a woman he was romancing on the ship.
I remember this. The captain was messing around with a woman when the collision happened. He abandoned the ship before all passengers were off.
Wow
Fell asleep with this on and the nightmares were not pleasant
Those in charge if it wasn't for their pride could've prevented so many deaths. This reminded me of Korea's tragic Sewol ferry.
Same here that one was awful 😢
How absolutely horrific. Cant even fathom this scenario. Peace to the many families who lost loved ones.
I am happy when coast guard commander Gregorio De Falco tell off Former Captain schettino. Good work on the video
This accident and those deaths could have been prevented if the captain didn't do a show off of his ship may the victims rest in peace 🙏🏻❤
Smith did the same.
Edward smith
It's remarkable how an act to satisy the vanity of one man impacts the reality of so many people.
Time and time again, vanity.
@@CARLIN4737 but at least he didn't abandon his ship like this captain did🥺
Lolo
Dude's name was De Falco. Even without the "get back on board" line the man was destined to be a national legend.
I'm glad that the captain was given that judgement. Justice given to those who died unnecessarily.
But...
I wonder how things would've gone if Scattino went back, saved those souls and died in the process... I wonder how things would've gone... Just some what if I had...
it wasn't a series of blunders, it was a series of delibrate choices
i suppose if i was on a ship wreck and then had to get on another ship to go home i would be like "guess i live on this island now, not going back on the water"
Always familiarize yourself with emergency action plans n exits
De Falco, give full support for yelling at that jackass. Watching that on the news was heart breaking.
Hats off to UA-cam advertising to show Cruise ship ads while watching this 😂
Cant believe its been 10 Years. I remember it like it was Yesterday so sad RIP to the victims. Glad the Captain is in Prison Coward!… BTW that push the Ship made towards the island was God saving the passengers… If there was no Winds the ship would have been out at Sea and more people could have Died!
You won’t probably believe this but my peer counseling graduation day was Friday January 13th ,2012. I remember when the peer counseling instructor announced that our graduation day was Friday January 13th,2012 I thought to myself that something is going to go wrong at our graduation because I’m very superstitious. The day came and went with nothing bad happening so I just went on with my life. About 2-years later I was watching a special on this disaster when they said that it happened January 13th,2012. I couldn’t believe it. I’m thinking you’ve gotta be kidding me when I was at my graduation party the ship went aground and 14 innocent people lost there life. Even more than before I’m very careful what I do on Friday the 13th.
Very very sad,the lost life ,and the change of life to those that live,and also the lost of a great ship
This accident shows the outcome of a poor safety culture at Carnival Corp. Just this week the problems continue with Princess getting environmental fines. With covid driving experience out of the industry, I am afraid incidents like this one could become more common. Very sad!
Poor safety culture and CHEAP AF when it comes to hiring crew (helmsman)
The mayor of Giglio has balls of steel. To climb up onto a sinking ship and help with the evacuation is truly amazing. The captain should be ashamed of himself, the coward.
I remember watching this on the news.... crazy its been almost 10 years
Reminds me of the Titanic......A Beautiful Grand Eloquent Ship that hit rocks/glaciers.
After listening to the back and forth between De Falco The captain, dude was and is an absolute tool.
RIP to all. Like an aircraft, the marine environment is mission critical and usually has a razor thin tolerance of failure. The state's role in oversight and safety enforcement in a commercial environment is where the failure point occurred.
Impressive, the story, the accident, the rescue, the aftermath.
I would have just jumped and swam to shore they weren't even that far from shore.
At least the water was warm.
True but it was in the night and some ppl couldn’t swim. I would be scared.
@@Stephanie-we5ep Mythbusters did an episode on that question, check it out.
@aliezasamad1475 I can swim and I would of been terrified
How did they not call for any help? Bad move!
The Coast Guard Captain's epic dress down is for the ages.
I was on vacation in Malta in November 2011 and HMS Ilustrious made a courtesy call flying the flag for the Royal Navy in Valletta`s grand habour, they had an open day when people could tour the aircraft carrier which my wife and I did it was a huge ship. When we left the Costa Condordia was berthed just along the docks and it was four times larger than the "Lusty" it was absolutely massive.
Two months later it was sunk by an idiot of a Captain and a 100% coward to boot, he should have swung from the highest yard arm in the Italian Navy for deriliction of duty.
RIP all the victims of one man`s hubris.
People can be lovely, and hospitable.
Modern day Titanic! The Captain was arrested . That was the right thing to do since lives of many in his hands ... Another Titanic with out a love story this time! Thank God 🙏 the Coast guard was near by!
Thank you Lord for saving the people
In Jesus name Amen.
The "captain" is a killer. Period. A murdering negligent criminal. And the mayor of that small Italian town is a hero and a downright legend. Period.
A cold hearted killer
Theres a lot o pilipino crew who help moest of othe passengers..big salute to my fellow countrymen to stand what we need to do during crisis..not like the captain with no balls
nice doc , Cant say that I wasn’t expecting the usual re-enactment from Wonder tho lol
lesson: don't go off the track, unless it's an emergency
Entirely preventable, like so many maritime disasters. I think these people lose respect for the dangers of operating a vessel in open ocean.
And this why I don't go on cruises
Its like watching titanic all over again… terrible and so avoidable. RIP to all those who perished😢
It really is omg
The youtube channel "Internet Historian" made a video of this accident ("the cost of concordia") and it's quite funny while also being informative! If anyone is interested :)
Please watch it, and then watch the reaction videos from a sailor who gives more technical insights. It's great!
@@Liquessen And IH has a bit more detail and fun facts in certain places
Cool, is it worth watching if I've already watched the Mayday episode?
@@deprofundis3293 Depends on how resilient you are to the same information delivered in another manner, but I'd say yes.
@@deprofundis3293 I agree!! He tells the story in a bit more of an entertaining way in my opinion.
He also gives background info on other individuals involved in the accident besides the captain, which was really interesting
But definitely up to you ^^
I would of paid money to see the Italian Coast Guard berate the captain when they met in person
Every time I watch these videos about emergencies on cruise ships and airplanes, I always think about how my mother is a brain damaged triplegic. She only has use of her left arm and speaks like a baby (she had 3 back to back strokes). Not that I even want to fly or go on a ship of any kind even by myself, but just to think about what the F I would do in such an emergency. I would never leave my mother so I know I would die with her unless people came together to help us. To hear the head of police (can’t remember his name/title) talk about how all chivalry was gone and it was essentially every man for himself at that point, I just know my mother and I would surely die. I wake up in a panic several times a month thinking there’s a fire or a flood happening in our home and I alone have to get her and my 5 animals out before we all perish. These thoughts have kept me at home since my mom became this way. I’m young and should be enjoying life but I’m just too scared and can’t leave my mom alone anyway since I have no one to help us. But I know if we were ever in that situation, I’d be praying for these mediocre days and nights at home instead. This is horrifying.
You and your mom are under protection of the angels, enjoy life and don't fear. When you feel afraid, just think of your guardian Angels. May I ask what happened to you mom? Love and prayers ❤
God bless you
Sounds like the coast guard should have been the captain of the boat. Way more between the legs than Schettino.
Instead of telling the Coast Guard they were wrecked on the rocks, they said a generator problem. No, we'd rather have passengers die than admit what happened and admit we need help, WTH? Did he think the disaster would go away. Seems no one could face the truth and refused to give proper warnings and alarms. I don't know what happened to him, but if the captain wasn't prosecuted and the operators of the cruise line prosecuted I'll be sick.
