The Ships Captain is obviously one hell of a good man
He has no choice.
@@viktorhokes5610Ever heard of the Concordia? We all have a choice bruh don’t try to downplay this dudes heroism like a dickhead.
@@viktorhokes5610ratio
@@viktorhokes5610 every man has a choice on whether to act or not, this captain chose to be a hero
@@indicus9075pretty sure it's illegal for the captain to abandon the crew on board
Those guys just saved their company hundreds of millions of dollars. They need a raise
They saved insurance millions of dollars. They need a raise.
@@bassraja1978no, they would have been dropped or premiums would have skyrocketed costing the company millions. So, they saved their company millions
They did the basic job they were hired for. Not everything deserves a prize.
@@Na_bruh you sound like a commie lol
@@Na_bruhbasic job including jumping into open sea and almost dying?
The captain was actually suspended for 8 weeks after investigation. Aparantly, He failed to check if the cargo in the hull was secured, and should have chosen a safer route or delayed the journey because of the bad weather. In his defense he felt rushed by the company. Anyways still a brave man and managed to save everyone
HE didn't save everyone. The pilots had a much riskier job. The captain never needed to abandon his ship, he simply panicked and put the helicopter crew's lives in danger.
Another piece of evidence that companies don't care about your safety they just want quick profit.
I full agree with you. He made a sacrifice of this own life. The company is ungrateful to there staff. They sit in the office and make decisions. They must get of the chair and walk the captain shoes
@@delavan9141doesn’t change the fact that he still waited for the crews to be rescued before him. Your statement doesn’t change the fact that he did something good.
Damn I will keep this in mind when dealing with my captains
My father worked as a Merchant ship's First Officer his whole life. You have NO IDEA HOW DANGEROUS this was and difficult to accomplish!!! All respect to you and your crew, Skipper!
Yeah, and a panicked captain put all those lives at terrible risk when he should have just rode out the storm like any competent captain would do.
Skipper?
He is clearly a captain.
✓ His certicicate declares by law that he must be a captain.
✓ skippers is for inland rivers
This is the kind of Captain I would love to work under cause I know he has everyone's back
Oh yeah so much so that he made 4 crew members risk theor lives for the ship and never launched the life boat!! Capt sucks
@@natecote1971as long as the ship is floating and not on fire, it is seafarers' best life insurance. Launching a lifeboat in that weather is very risky.
@@subbaaja100yep, they might be flipped? Crushed by the original ship, sucked under the ship and sliced up by the propellers etc.
Not anymore cuz he died
@@natecote1971 Lmao, okay keyboard warrior, because you totally know everything about being a Captain, so you know what’s best better than he does.
Very honorable captain, stayed true to his role even under adverse circumstances
THE WAY TO THE STRAIGHT LINE IS THE WAY TO THE WAYING
Captain would literally get put in prison if he doesn't leave the ship last. Nonetheless honorable and commendable
A certain captain of a certain capsized cruise ship could learn from him.
@@JoJoGaminG36it's been 10 years since
Why automatically assume that the Captain was a "he"!? Could've been a She 🤔🫤😱
This captain and the 4 last one's are hero's. Jumping in this icewater behind the propellar is amazing
Why was the Propeller left ON ?
@@jamesjoseph5707 That is a very good question. I have no idea. Maybe bc the vessel needed it to not sink??
I admire Seamen and courageous Captains with dignity.
Tbf this is great content, the choice of music, the voice of narrator, edit and footage, pacing; you’ve got my sub
Really appreciate your compliment, welcome onboard 😄!
No, not really. Almost got hit by a prop? A prop that would've clearly no longer been moving?
@@Bmancan84if you watched the video, the prop was very clearly still turning, as you can easily watch the water being churned and spit out when the prop comes out of the water
This could have been prevented too much weight aka fukn boats on a boat
Agree
The Captain fulfilled his duty.
Yes but hi dont jumped off ore gets of the vessel

*"The captain goes down with the ship"*
@@kksharma2822what purpose does being the last man ( captain) have with going down with ship when he can save himself ?????
Many brave Captains have gone down with there ship. @@kksharma2822
Any human working the seas in any capacity will always receive my respect, refreshing to hear a positive outcome 🖖.
The sea is powerful and unforgiving at times. Glad that they all survived.
A captain cannot, I repeat, cannot, leave the ship until everyone else is off. Some countries prosecute a captain who leaves before a ship is unboarded
Costa Concordia captain is still serving his sentence.
Sea is ment for real man not some kittens
@@runwayjet755as he should? The ship wasnt even sinking, it had already hit the bottom. He did even try to evactuate the boat. He just left
In the US there is not a law that states a ship's Captain has to drown with his ship. Neither is there a law stating a ship's Captain can not abandon ship until he or she is the last soul aboard.
There is precedent set by historical recordings of great Captains maintaining their post until all persons are off their vessel and/or going down with their ship if even one person remains aboard. The crew and passengers expect to be in the hands of the best possible individual to hold the responsibility of their lives and that of the ship in any given situation. Now if a Captain abandons his post to save his own ass before ensuring only he remains, he and every action he performs while under way will be investigated by the authorities, the crew and passengers. If there are deaths resulting from his actions leading to his vessel going down then that Captain can at best be charged with manslaughter. However, if at no fault to the actions and orders of the Captain the vessel still sinks and not all aboard are able to abandon ship before it sinks and the Captain has done everything in his power to save every life possible then he or she is not required to die on principle. Though many do due to the extreme duty and lives they are responsible for while under way. There are many instances of ships Captains going down with their ship and those souls trapped on board yet once the ship is submerged the Captain has found or luck helped them escape to the surface to survive and pilot another ship one day.
In America (Im only familiar with US Laws, our US Naval Forces due to my experience as a Marine and we follow US Naval regulations) if the Captain does not go down with his ship, he better be damned certain he did NOTHING wrong and he did EVERYTHING possible to save every damned person he could prior to his abandoning of his post. If not the Captain will end up incarcerated for a long damn time. To me, the loss of your honor and failure to do your duty would be worse than dying with the ship and those you are responsible for. Ive been in combat and I relate this to feeling I had at leaving one of my Marines mortally wounded on the battlefield if there was even the slightest possibility of my ass doing anything to get my Marine to cover and a FMF Corpsman (our medics). I couldn't live with the thought that my inaction cost another their life while I remained alive.
@@aaroncousins4750Not to mention the 40 people dead because of command.
The captain is definitely the old school type, respect to him and his crew. At least they were willing to admit possible defeat and called for help sooner as opposed to too late & loss of life. Hope they are all doing well! Good save on the ship!
He hasn’t got a choice, abandoning your crew at sea can land you life in prison. It’s an old law but still in use to this day. Pretty sure there was a ferry that capsized in Italy a couple years back, the captain abandoned ship and got like 15 years in jail.
@@lewisbrown5527The Seoul Ferry incident as well. It was saddening.
@@lewisbrown5527 That may be correct in some countries, however in Dutch law the max. would be 3 years in prison and a captain could even go without punishment, depending on the situation.
@@Jeroenscheur92
Disgusting!! The Capt shoud do time for each body
@@Scotty2-rescue Why? If something isn't the captains fault and there is no way to save more crewmembers why should the captain stay and die or leave and be punished? How does that make any sense?
What a loyal Captain. God Bless you sir and your crew members. ❤😊
That saying is true how the captain looks out for his crew first, then himself. It takes love in your heart for others to put your life last. ♥️ God bless him!
An ACTUAL "Happy Ending " .Brave men , and brave rescuers .😊
While volunteering for the sea scouts I heard the story of a captin who did the same, when several kids were caught in 40kn winds (quite a lot for the boats in questions and in the dead sea) he entered the water with his own digny, when he met up with rescuers he lead them to the rest of the students before searching for everyone else.
He washed up on shore four days later Dead, F for the legend
@ethangames5189 HI. Thanks for sharing this. That Captain was a man of Valor. May he rest in the arms of GOD. Sea Scouts ? That sounds so cool , better than my Cub Scouts days many years ago !!! We, to my knowledge, haven't got Sea Scouts in Indiana. Maybe ? up at Lake Michigan? Don't know..Thanks again !
The Captain doing what is right. My father was a Master Mariner and I always asked him what would happen if the ship got into trouble. He always responded that he would be the last man to leave. So, I asked but what if other crew were trapped and couldn’t get off? Then he frightened the life out of me by stating clearly the he would stay with the ship and go with them to the bottom. My father was a lovely man but deadly serious about his profession.
I remember the Costa Concordia incident where the captain was one of the first the leave. My father was disgusted by the man.
Watching this video made me feel proud of the profession. This is a Captain that you would be happy to have as the leader of your vessel.
It be like that though.
God bless your father
My aunt told me the something similar. Everyone was going to get off that ship or she wouldn't. She would spend every last Second trying to figure out how to save everyone she could. Her crew respects her and always has her back. One of them when she was telling me this loomed at her and said that if there was something they could do he would be right there with her. If not, he'd be the one dragging her a** off kicking and screaming. He told her that nobody wants her dead if there is nothing left to do. There's a difference between risking your life to save others and her plan.
I remember hearing that recording. The captain was ordered to go back by the Italian Coastguard to help with coordinating the rescue. There are ethics involved with a captain and the ship. Not surprising your dad feels that way. Good man.
Salute to those Captains ❤
A true leader,that's what a captain does.marks of Respect to the captain🙏🏽🇿🇦
Now that Captain and crew are beyond awesome. Glad All Are Safe.
Good story. Well edited. Story starts, story concludes. Well done. I’m subscribing.
I agree
I'm so glad you enjoyed the story, appreciate the support. Welcome onboard 😄!
Norwegian Sea does not exist!
Did you meant to say the North Sea?
@@fact_basedyou did.great.
Ghost ride the wh..ship
Gotta give the props to the crew members . Not only did they save the ship but they were probably responsible for securing the cargo. Nothing was lost on an angry sea like this
Man I don't even think alot of truck drivers can secure a load this well
Hope they got a big bonus.
Whoever put a line on it now owns it ...
I think the crew members, especially that captain, want nothing to do with the props so quickly after this event.
Don't say "props." 😅
@@dennisriblett4622not at all how marine salvage works 😂
These rescue guys are badasses. Also, that's a damn good captain. Hats off to you sir! Fair winds and following seas.
So much respect and love for the crew and the captain especially
Real ass captain 🙏 respect
Good man that's the captain being a proper captain of his ship
I spent 6 months in the Bering Sea. That Captain is amazing.
Rescuers are the greatest heros! God bless them always, ever and everywhere!
Respect for everyone involved, rescuers do a hell of a job!
Man, that captain almost became chum. Close call
Do you really think he would leave the ship running and in gear? He just going to let a several tonne ship just ghost ride? You're not very bright.
@lilcantrapman24 you must not have alot of friends
@@Bmancan84What does the ship being on have to do with anything? The water is the wrecking force here, being crushed against a ship still hurts if its turned off
@@Bmancan84You can very clearly still see wake being produced underneath the ship, and even if it wasn't running, the rocking of the ship could've pulled him under and crushed him
True captain nevertheless
Admirable character of everyone! I'm so happy this had a happy ending!
I honestly didn’t know that captains really went down with their ships. I thought it was just an old saying. I’m aware he didn’t go down with it, but he was the last man off. Very admirable.
He was a captain, not an admirable
😂
They're supposed to be the last one off traditionally. But then you have the cowardly captains of the Costa Concordia and MTS Oceanos who got off first.
Not admirable the ship wasn't sinking he had no reason to jump. He just made the job harder for the tug boats. Left the boat with the prop running meaning tug boats have to chase a moving ship down and try to hook up to it on the port and stern of the boat. Making the tug boats job extremely dangerous. There is no reason he should've jumped enless the ship was physically taking on water and sinking.
You can actually end up in jail if you as a captain leave the vessel before anyone else on board 🤷♂️
Yes we always be the last to get off the ship that's our job as a captain to make sure your crew is safe first !! All real captains will do this !
The older I get, the more I appreciate that I have an easy life because of people like every single guy in this video.
It was not a "selfless choice" , but rather a captain's responsibility to ensure that no one was left behind.
A dedicated team under a supportive leader can do anything❤️
Never forget you should be working for someone who would gladly work for you if the opportunity came about.
That's what a Captain should do , big shout out to the captain and crew as well as the rescuers!!!!
I'm so glad His ship was saved ,He's doing what a great Captain should do ,everybody of the ship and engineers only to try and fix ,then being an example Captain off last ,Captain deserved his vessel back ,glad it worked out like that 🎉🎉🎉
Captain didn't know shit.. Put himself and the crew in danger by not checking if cargo was properly secured which led to this whole situation. Also didn't want a pilot onboard to take an inshore route instead because he feared that it would lead to paperwork..
Accident report states that cargo wasn't properly secured or inspected by captain.
@@TheCoveta Thank you for in lightening me ,they never tell the real story and my opinion was on what I saw directly on U Tube ,I'm new at giving responses , so forgive me and I will remember to look into facts before I look stupid .👱🙏❤️
@@darylynrose6814
I totally get it, I myself often get fooled by videos like this and they're often quite vague with information so it's really hard to actually fact check.
I would probably believe this video also if i wasn't already aware of this accident from back when it happened in 2021 and also read the accident report some time later.
The name of the boat is Eemslift Hendrika. But as stated in the video this happened on the Norwegian coast, most of the reporting is from Norwegian newspapers so it makes it a bit harder to find information about the accident if you're not a Norwegian speaker.
@@TheCoveta are these "true" clips from the incident that happened, I'm confused as to the names of the ships, they seem to be different, i don't know if that is just "how it is " but you seem knowledgeable and I'm curious. Thanks for giving much needed insight to this incident, sad how these videos can put "false, at times dangerous info out there as if it is true and factual .
@@Melissa-ho2vo Yes the videos used are from the actual incident. At the stern of the ship you will see the name "Eemslift Hendrika", "Amasus" as written on the side is the name of the company who owns the ship.
The weather was rough 50-60 feet tall waves.
They sent out the emergency signal around 10:00 on the 5th of April 2021 and shortly after the first 8 crew members were evacuated by SAR helicopter. The Captain and 3 crew members stayed behind and tried to pump out water from the cargo compartments, by 20:00 the ship was abandoned and the ship continued on autopilot away from the Norwegian coast but at 23:00 the engines shut down and the ship started drifting back towards the coastline. 7th of April four salvage experts where flown out to the ship accompanied by 4 thug boats and they started towing the boat back to land. Ship stayed a few months in dock for extensive maintenance before traveling back to the Netherlands.
Wow! Thats the quality of people that is so desperately needed in our world today.
The ship captain is what a real leader should strive to be like.
A brave, honorable captain
I actually enjoyed this, good job
So glad the algorithm found you! Appreciate your support, and I'll definitely keep it up 😃
Bot comment
The 4 that stayed should get a Huge bonus!!!❤
The last 4 are some brave s.o.b.'s, they saved basically everything
Captain and the crew deserve a BIGGER ship and bigger pay.
The captain has balls of stell and an unmatched sense of honor, mad respect 🙋♂️
*Steel
Doesn't need to insult the captain
Sense of honor? he abandoned a perfectly good ship. was it sinking?
@@delavan9141it's easy to say that if you're not in the situation. He is the captain, he knows what to do.
some of the best men on this planet can be found sailing out in the ocean, same goes for some of the worst.
The Captain probably lost his Job after this video.The Vessel was found 48 hours later still intact.The captain judgment to abandon Ship was wrong.He risked the lives of his
Crewmen during the dangerous evacuation.And the Captain risked his life by diving into the freezing ocean with violent waves.He would of been safer on the ship.The ship floated in ocean unmanned for 48 hours without Captain.The only damage to the ship was the fishing boat attached.Sustained from shaking.The evidence shows that the ship sustained itself without captain or crew.
The ship was fine. You're all fired. - The ship owner.
Yep, exactly. That ship was doing quite well in that sea but everyone panicked.
It's easy to say if you're not in the situation.
Yeah the ship looked fine. I don't see why they had to abandoned it.
@@Soundsofthewood For the record, I was being facetious.
You had it right the first time. The captain simply panicked and abandoned a perfectly good ship. @@interstellarsurfer
That was an exciting event with a very professional crew involved. Three of the Azimuth thruster units in the hold broke free and slid, causing the ship to list and the weather was worse than predicted. Before leaving the captain set the autopilot so the ship would steer away from the dangerous coast. The ship is back in service now.
The captain was not only following protocol, but also the rules of the sea. The captain is responsible for his crew as well as his cargo and his ship. He did the exact opposite of Francesco Schettino and acted as a captain is expected to. He's a great captain.
This man deserves a huge raise and a metal for saving his crew
The captain jumping off the stern with it adrift is the gnarliest thing ive ever seen, amazing he made it out safe!
A Happy Ending. Something you don’t often get in these situations.
Retired USCG here. In those conditions it's much much safer to pull crewmembers out of the water than off of the deck.
This Captain is the perfect eg of how a Ship’s captain should be.
Safety of Crew, Cargo and Ship will be his priority than him self.
Let's not forget how brave the Coast Guard is , WAY TO GO ❤🎉🎉🎉
Norwegian coast guard is the most bagasse in the world
Outstanding to all , especially the Captain. I salute You and all of your mates😊.!
The Captain is a selfless man and his well trained crew shows there are great people amongst us!
😊😊p0l8i
I was on the tug who salvaged the ship! My three hardest days at sea ever!
I'm glad the ship survived. To me, it's a very sad thing to watch a ship giving up its life to the watery deep 😢
Now that's a captain ANYONE will love to work with
Mad Respect

I’m a Captain. The incompetence in this video is staggering. Even if there was damage, the list could have been corrected on board. Furthermore, never jump into the sea when you have a perfectly usable lifeboat.
Here! Here!
Thank you, finally someone who sees this for what it really is. He abandoned a perfectly fine ship because he was panicked by rough seas. He lost his shit, IOW.
Wow! Nothing but heroes among crew and rescuers.
Respect for the Captain!! A good, solid crew. They all need a good financial boost/saving the company quite a bit of money ✌️💜 no matter what.
A story about "well done," so glad to see it.❤❤ "Good work, crew!" Thank you rescuers!❤❤
Thanks for taking a 'short' break with me! If you enjoyed this, more bite-sized stories awaits on my channel. Let's explore! 🚀🔥
BRAVO TO THEM ALL! Why did they keep the props running if they abandoned ship?
That captain jumped shit perfectly. He waited until crest. “If you do not just on the crest when the ship raises the vacuume of water will suck you under and kill you” conversely if you jump on the crest when the ship plows down into the water you get pushed away from the ship. This man knows his stuff even under pressure. Well done.
Top bloke that sea captain. I'd be absolutely chuffed to know that my brand new fishing vessel was nearly lost at sea but was saved by the men delivering it. And it only got delayed by 48 hours or so. Fantastic work! 👍
That captain is an inspiration to all others.
Wow, that’s really crazy! I’m so glad that everyone survived. And good for the Captain of the Ship. I know that the Captain is supposed to make sure that the crew is safe and then himself. But humans being human may not always choose to do the right thing. Really cool post. UA-cam is turning out to be a great place to learn.
I would like to see the results of an investigation into this incident. I served in the US Navy for 25+ years, and we performed a few of these rescue missions. It’s either faulty equipment or an inexperienced crew that causes these issues.
Still suspended for 2 months without pay. He should have chosen a safer route or delayed the entire thing. He knew better and he got what he deserved. Just because he saved lives doesn't mean he did his entire job how he was paid to. Those crew members shouldn't have been put in a spot that required them to be rescued in the first place.
God bless the Captain, Crew, and rescuers.
Selflessness, bravery and professionalism in one video
Amazing! The sea accepted that captain’s sacrifice & calmed itself.
Have you guys heard of the sewol ferry tragedy? The total opposite of this one, they kept repeating "stay where you are, the rescue will come" but the captain and the crew fled first and left 300 students to die.
What's worse is there were a lot of opportunities for rescue but they resisted it, and the media kept the truth in the dark, more like the politucian made the media cover the truth to save face.
True captain. Prioritizing his crew over his own safety.
Yeah the captain of the Sewol ship should be shown this everyday so he knows what a real Captain does. Much respect 🫡 to this Captain for being the last man on board.
Actually international law says that captain can't leave the ship until everybody is evacuated. He can (and will) go to prison if he leaves the ship before his crew in an emergency.
@@martinnovak5662 hence, sewol captain got imprissoned
what skill and sense of duty... the crew and captain managed to salvage the situation without great loss of asset and life.
That is a true captain.
God bless the sailors keeping this world going. ✝️
They risked their lives to save the ship and the company rewarded them with a certificate of appreciation and a firm handshake.
Nah, that got a pizza party, then back to work.

@@JS_LOVE_MUSIC Yeah, it's not like a helicopter hovers above dangerous waves capable of capsizing boats and ships. Yeah, really makes sense to me.
The bond between a Captain and his ship 🔥
That's why Captains are heroes. 💪🏽
That captain is a true captain man what a legend sacrificed himself for his crew I know they all look at him differently now a true leader
The Captains boss yelling at him on Monday why he didn’t save the boat 😢
That captain deserves a massive raise.
That looks tragically horrible.
Thank God that everyone made it onto the rescue helicopter.
The captain deserves a gold metal for his heroic action. ❤😇
He was truly the captain! Actions will always speak louder than words. Remember that Greek Cruise ship sinking off the coast of South Africa where the captain was the first to abandon ship.
Captain prioritizing others is nice, but its also the law
Law doesnt make you fear death. As insurence doesnt make you healty .
Kudos to that SAR crew!🙏🥰👍
Captain is the Hero. That's what saved everything.
As someone from a dutch sailing family this right here is where you prove your worth as a captain and as a man that propeller jump was soo close holy bro A1 job on the ship staying afloat and not losing anything
It’s always the old sailor saying a captain goes down with his ship and the captain is always the first to board last to leave, even if it means prioritizing your friends and sailors before yours, those are the markings of a good Captain
If a captain goes down with the ship, it's not considered abandoned, and the cargo would still belong to the flagstate, preventing "lawfull" looting
Wonderful editing and story telling, got a new subscriber🎉
Thank you very much for the support, and welcome onboard 😄!
I was worried I’d see a wreck but these men held their own and they did it like professionals. Props to the pros.
Just to clarify, the AQS vessel is not a fishing boat😊
That’s a real captain right there. A man worth following.
Unless it’s his fault they had to abandon, that is. Lmao
I have worked with Coastguard Search and Rescue for many years. I love what I do when Im saving lives at sea.
Captain secured his crew and the cargo without dying himself, absolute boss.
What a beautiful way to describe abandoning a ship that did not need to be abandoned
Finally, ONE commenter can think for himself and see what really happened here.
@@delavan9141nah just someone with no sea experience. You go on a ship this size with that type of list in this weather. I have been on a ship stuck on a 30 degree list for a few hours. Believe me no one in the crew was feeling safe including 2 oldies who had started their career in the 50s fishing cod off of new foundland when french ship still went there
