The saddest part about this whole disaster is that *NOBODY* died from the crash itself. Everyone who died, died because of the captain's incompetence and the crew's general lack of coordination.
Well to be fair regarding a large ship like this, if someone dies FROM THE CRASH you have done something COLOSSALLY wrong. Like I don't even wanna know how you physically managed to fuck up that badly.
Even on the Titanic people weren't killed BY THE CRASH. Like this isn't a car we're talking about. And once the crash happens even if you're perfect regarding safety, you can't manipulate the entire ship. Like a shelf can fall over and kill someone.
That being said, you are NOT WRONG in that this fuckhead screwed up BADLY and not only caused the crash in the first place but likely magnified the resulting problems greatly.
Your comment is wild if you only read the first half ngl.
I think I remember that people who were in the elevators at the time of the collision died because of it.
@@Derkosson Correct
They died from drowning
"Prank em, John!"
"Hehe y'all already know!"
*hires several unqualified shmucks in a row and ends in the worst cruise disaster in recent memory*
Lol
ironically, Schettino *WAS* THE most qualified person on the ship.
Before he joined Costa, he was the XO of a transport ferry in Italy. When he joined Costa, there weren't any openings for bridge crew at the time, which was why he was Head of security, because he was waiting for an opening.
also: the 2008 incident was an ACTUAL accident, as the tide picked up, and caused the Concordia to hit the docks, which was why he kept his job. The second time, with the Atlantica, was also due to the weather. According to AIDA's(the other ship involved was the AIDA Blue) public statement, the only damage was to the port's loading ramp, which was relatively minor.
Schettino's shirking of his duty as the captain during the Concordia incident was still reprehensible, though. the fact that he ran first before the evacuation was completed was what made him the courts' scapegoat. Rusli(assuming Rusli Bin Jacob is his correct name? IDK) running off back to Jakarta didn't help things.
I'd say the MV Sewol probably has this disaster beat by a long shot, but that story is just really depressing.
@@duelgundam he was the most experienced, not qualified. motherfucker was a coward, lax on procedure, and had just crashed 2 ships
Ayo? Yo! YOOOO!!!!!
Fun fact: The bell of a ship is considered the most lucrative item to steal in maritime communities because the bell is seen as the ship's 'soul'. So someone somewhere has her bell in a display case in their basement or something.
Yeah that bell is a cursed item for sure

It pisses me off to no end how Semortan described “dying two times” when there were people who actually lost their lives during the affair.

phrasing
It's my opinion that the "Engoodening of No Man's Sky" is possibly the best video on UA-cam
My Dad was a marine pilot and captain on supertankers for decades. Everything this video says is absolutely consistent with stories he told me about corner cutting, corruption and cheapness on modern ships. Some of it was downright terrifying.
The worst part though is that this kind of accident isn't unique. The MV Sewol sinking in Korea makes the Costa Concordia look positively tame by comparison.
Yeah the Sewol incident feels downright malicious while this at least just feels like the consequence of corruption and incompetence.
@@VarvasNukka i doubt the workers feel guilt. At least the captain of the concordia was considering throwing himself on the rocks after abandoning ship.
For those of you who do not know about the Sewol disaster, do not look it up.
Or do..., I'm not your mother. Just know that if you look it up, expect a *REAL* tear jerker.
I get the feeling that the sinking of the Sewol isn't something Internet Historian would cover though... Costa Concordia had _some_ loss of life, which of course was a tragedy, but mostly reads as a comedy. Sewol is nothing _but_ a tragedy from start to finish. Costa Concordia inspires disbelieving laughter and head-shaking, but Sewol inspires disgust and righteous fury at everyone responsible.
I think I'll avoid Europe cruises for a while.
Starboard is Right, and Port is Left. Fun fact, this actually came from the design of early Norse (i.e Viking) ships. Because they always had the rudder on the right hand side of the ship allowing the helmsman to grasp it and control it with his right hand. So they ended up naming it the "Styrabord", which is Old Norse for "Steering Side" or "Rudder Side."
Because the rudder was on the right side of the ship, they couldn't approach a dock on that side because it could damage or break the rudder. So those ships ALWAYS came into a seaport and docked on the left side, hence why left is the "Port" side.
The Vikings were so influential in the history (both maritime and regular history) of the British Isles that the English simply borrowed the words as special nautical terms. And now through the power of cultural inertia, we are still using these terms a thousand years later, even though most people have forgotten WHY we used them in the first place.
Great fun fact I enjoyed
also the reason why it is called port is because thats the side they always docked at port
Holy crap this is awesome!!! I love Norse mythology and stuff so this is indeed one heck of a fun fact. Thanks dude!
Seriously though, what's wrong with good old left and right?
@@olimar243 It caused confusion. If you're standing on the foredeck and you call back that you see something "to the right", do you mean your right, or their right? What if you are facing sideways relative to the ship and your right would be behind the ship? Right and Left aren't used because they're purely subjective to each individual sailor, i.e. the directions change based on who is facing which direction.
But Starboard and Port are absolutes based on the ship itself. No matter which direction you are facing, "Starboard" is always the right-hand side of the ship as seen from the rear facing forward, and "Port" is always the left side seen from the same vantage point. "Fore" is always towards the bow of the ship (the opposite end of the ship from the rudder and propeller), in the direction of travel, and "Aft" is always the back of the ship, where the rudder and propellers are. So no matter which way you or the person you are talking to are facing, you immediately know which direction they are talking about, based on the shape of the ship itself.
04:18 A naval officer that did a reaction this IH vid actually commented on that. Apparently it wasn't that he went from Security and promoted to Captain, it was that he already qualified to man a ship, but he took a security job, to pay the bills while he waited to for a captain position to open up, and this is apparently a common thing. Dude still messed up with the ship though.
To add on to this, he was qualified to man a ship because he was already a captain at another company. He changed employers, and the new company put him in security in the interim.
I think you are talking about the UA-cam channel "Sailorvince"
I was going to comment the same thing, but glad you said it first, because I did not remember the details properly from that reaction.
@@leonstrand329 yeah, his channel
I wouldn't trust this man with the security of a hamster cage
Small thing: There was a line of text saying that Martin the Magician opened the box to let the woman out while he was fleeing the stage, so don't worry about her, she was long-gone by the time the box fell over.
And in doing so, he prevented one more death than the captain did.
Yea its weird that it was just a line of text considering he set it up using voicelines
@@SuperZezdamn man now that's the kind of humor I like!
The reason Schettino took time to change into a suit was so no one could recognize him as captain
He looks really handsome too so i can't blame him
@@ho-leesheet5923 eh, a pretty suit ain't much for an ugly soul
1:03:10 fun fact, internet historian eventually took the task and found him but he refused to divulge anything because people had already harassed cemortan and he didn't want that to happen to another person
I'd say Cemortan deserved some teeth in her ass
as an italian i am both honored and ashemed, honored that you would take time to learn about one of the major disasters in italy in recent times and ashemed that you had to see how poorly things were managed
At least you guys have de Falco. Kinda curious on how he's doing right now.
at least it had a happy ending with the Admiral guy even though his jealous boss screwed him out of his miltary carrer he moved on up to the SENATE instead via the peoples popular support.
The limited experience I have with boats is back from high school, yet I would still very likely have handled any single step and avoided that collision.
Hey, Italian port authorities handled the situation as well as they realistically could have from what I've heard given the captain was uncooperative and the bridge crew was complicit in going along with it. Plus we also got the gem of "Vada a bordo, cazzo!" So there's a least some humor in this.
What about the Vajont dam? (honest question)
As someone living in Italy I can 100% confirm here things are managed VERY BADLY
Italy is corruption andy of the eu
Why though
@@desensitizedanalyser5624 corruption, mafia, nepotism and laziness.
At this point the only things Italians are very competent at are the arts, engineering, cooking and the military, because no politicians are involved.
@@PeachDragon_ why do you think politicians are that uncapiable of taking care of themselves and their country they live in?
@@desensitizedanalyser5624 gonna present two overwhelmingly current example
a few days back, the government banned each and very current and future research or farm into the production of Synthetic meat on the territory, but, in their absolute hunger for the next term, they did NOT ban the import of said food, or consumption. on top of that, due to how the law is written, they effectively banned seasoned meat to be served.
second example, there a minimal of background involved: the public opinion of kids and family-related law is as low as it gets, namely, the bibbiano scandal and the monterozzo tragedy and relative situation with the family of the survived child.
in this situation, the government has decided to go against the general decisions of EU, and go scorched earth on any kind of law that may favour the lgbt+. problem is, the current normative that said law would go to touch, suffers to a big hole that goes to also impact kids from single parents entering other relationships, and it's the very same hole that allowed both bibbiano, and the whole thing with the survived child grandfather, so they are actively sabotaging the defense of existing families, in the pretended name of "defending families".
and this is remaining below the 30 days mark even the 15, for the matter...
Fun fact: As explained on Incognito Mode, the video was about to have a Metal Gear Solid 2 theme instead of Titanic at first, since the majority of the first sequence in the game took place on a ship. He had cool segways and edits planned, but after a while, he felt like it wasn't going anywhere. Internet Herstorian (his live-in girlfriend and very occasional brains of the operation) suggested the Titanic theme be the whole video, instead of just the ending cinematic, which was the first reference to Titanic that he made for it originally. The rest was Internet History. 😂
Edit: Also, yes, the original song for the crash scene was Ave Maria, but it got claimed and replaced twice over the lifespan of the video upload.
It wasn't ave maria. It was O Mio Babbino Caro.
Yeah, given how the captain was able to eyeball it and then very quickly react and give proper commands right before the crash shows he did have the technical skill and knowledge to be a captain. Heck, apparently the whole thing would've played out just fine with their salute honking and they'd have safely arrived in Savona if the helmsman actually understood the commands he was being given. What the captain lacked for that position instead was basic human decency to deal with the consequences of his actions.
you know this is a reinactment right?
@@MattStMarie-bm5sqThe Internet Historian is using real records from the ship and even at some moments literally footage from the incident to show the incident, so he isn’t making up the captain’s personal technical ability.
Oh God, it's just now clicking what happened. They kept correcting the Helmsman to tell him he was fucking up, so when he started going one direction and then they immediately shouted at him again, he just assumed he was fucking up again and went the OPPOSITE WAY!
Huh. Hadn't thought of that.
Possible. It's also possible he tried to second-guess the captain's counterintuitive order to turn back towards the rock, not being experienced enough to understand why he'd be told to do that. IIRC, that was what the prosecution would have argued and why he ran away instead of testifying.
@@CruelestChris
In Europe it's always easier to use the foreigner as the sacrificial lamb.
@@DinnerForkTongue That doesnt change the fact he never should have been hired for that job in the first place.
@@nathanpapp432
I ain't denying that at all. I'm talking strictly ass-coverage.
9:18 this is most likely in Nautical Miles, not Statute Miles. Sailors use Nautical Miles as it is easier to gauge distance and location when using a sextant for triangulation.
Oh damn you smart and right! Good comms
Yup. I'd need to research (which I won't, cuz lazy) but I'd guess this is one of many carry-over traditions from when Great Britain (which uses/used Imperial metrics) basically owned the whole world's oceans. When you own the franchise, you set the standards.
and 1 nautical mile is 1/60 of a degree around the world, which comes out to 1852 meters. 1 knot is 1 nautical mile per hour.

As someone who works in security: The speed at which he did it is suspicious, but that he did it isn't. People who don't intend to be security lifers often get security jobs in places where they work in fields they're interested in working in. It's a great way to network.
Holy shit. Not only is there great Max0r content but now there's Internet Historian too?!
My god Alicia is just F A R M I N G rn
Regarding the lady inside the box he puted a text explaining the magician opened the box first, you just missed it, so no worries she didn't stay stuck in there
Yes, Alicia. The lady in the box got out. There was a caption at the bottom of the screen that mentioned it (along with a visual on screen of the lady popping out of the box), but your subtitles covered it.
Also, the most likely reason they suggested sending the passengers to the lounges is because lounges are often used as internal muster stations. This would allow them to gather all the passengers before actually evacuating them. And it's arguably safer, as the cruise director pointed out "I don't want people to fall overboard" because the ship was starting to tilt
The way you softly said, "Oh, Russell..." made me tear up a little. That's how I felt the first time I hit that section. The baby crying in terror earlier in the video footage really got to me, too. I don't know the name of every one of the 33 Costa victims, so the reminder that there were *children* on board just sank like a pit in my stomach.
I like how stressed out she got when IH was describing how the ship was about to crash, imagine her anxiety on the Man in the Hole episode.
For a man who crashed 2 ships before this not long before, you'd think he'd be more prepared for this exact thing.
The prior two accidents were both superficial damage when trying to dock at busy ports. Accidents when trying to dock are apparently something that happens pretty frequently with big ships, especially if bad weather is involved, and aren't considered a big deal in the industry. Unless the accident happens because the Captain was outright drunk or on drugs at the time (which usually means the accident ends up causing more than just superficial damage).
It certainly puts things into perspective. At least Captain Smith of the Titanic did a hell of a lot better in coordinating the evacuation procedure the whole time than Schittino ever did.
Your unfettered Rage at something that happened a decade ago is adorable >_
30:37 If you’re talking about the second crash (which I assume you are because that was the one where you could see the boat in the dock), Internet Historian substituted a picture from the movie “Speed 2: Cruise Control” due to lack of footage. He clarified it with text in the video but it was white text against the white ship so it’s fair if you missed it.
Bit unrelated but I'll piggyback on this comment to give another elaboration: the captain's excuse "I slip and fell into one of the lifeboats" was AN ACTUAL THING HE SAID, not just a joke from Internet Historian.
Pay half a billion for a boat, have boat driven by incompetents because they're cheap. Business in a nutshell.
For starboard and port, they match with which direction they’re supposed to be (in one having four letters, and the other one being more than four letters). Port is left, starboard is right.
This video came out right after I got out of the Navy, and I was practically screaming at my screen telling them to slow down. I did navigation for the Navy too which only made this worse for me. Literally painful to watch.
If she's nervous about a 40 minute video just wait until IH whips out his 'Gentleman Pirate'
Hope you watch more of his stuff. He does some fantastic video's. "The engoodening of no mans sky" is another of his long form one's and as others have said is a banger (especially the little bonus at the end). "The zone between area 50 and 51" has some of the best editing imo and the "My immortal" trio of video's (a dramatic harry potter fan fic reading) is hilarious. It's part of a series called Sundance rejects which are all worth a watch. In fact all his video's are really good, so ultimately you can't really go wrong.
Just found your channel. I hope you keep reacting to more Internet Historian and a whole bunch of other deep dive videos. You're really funny and have insightful commentary
:D eyyy welcome to the channel!
There's actually a sequel to this that explains a lot of stuff around how bad this whole thing actually was, and evens out the more frustrating parts. I highly recommend it!
18:25 Originally the music there was Ave Maria, but Internet Historian had to change it, probably because of copyright.
If you watch some of the people that reacted to this video, like QXC, you can hear the original version with Ave Maria.
Increasing the speed might not be such a bad idea if you know what you're doing. In some ways, it makes the ship easier to handle, since the forward motion is a bigger part of the overall motion (sea and wind drift matter less), forward motion helps with keeping the stern pointing forwards. also, if you have rudders, they work better at higher speeds. So if the maneuvers were sane, that wouldn't have been a bad decision, but sadly, they were not.
Could have been a good idea but unfooooooortunately here it was not
I'm not very familiar with the physics, but does the inertia from it's sheer size not affect as much as it would be with that kind of speed?
@@AGUSTIN-zc5iuIt's like how some planes have their best maneuvers at really fast speeds compared to their max speeds due to air resistance. Water resistance has more of an effect than that
"was he drunk driving the boat" idk why that was so funny to me
A fun way to remember port from starboard is that port is another name for wine, so you can just ask yourself "is there any PORT LEFT"
The only thing I would correct about the video is he didn't just rise to Captain that fast. If you take your tests that allow you the rank of captain but there are no captain positions open, it is common to take other positions while waiting for a captain position to open.
The "do we tell them to go back to the lounges" thing (at least from the guy on the bridge, not the director later) was actually done out of concern for the passengers' safety. I've been on two cruises, one in 2009 and another in 2012. On my first cruise, our muster station was outside on the edge of the ship near the lifeboats. On the second, our muster station was inside one of the lounges. The rationale is that, during an emergency, even if perfectly executed, there's going to be a lot of passengers just sitting and waiting - you can't evacuate an entire cruise ship in 30 seconds. So, rather than have people waiting outside, it's best to have them away from the edge of the ship and away from the elements - don't want them cold and wet for longer than necessary and you definitely don't want them falling overboard. If you aren't actively boarding a lifeboat, the safest place is probably somewhere inside the ship closer to the center.
Based on the 2nd video, it sounds like the captain was actually a decent captain. He was qualified to be a captain before he became one despite holding a security position. The two accidents he was involved in before the disaster where actually minor but IH decided to make them a little more dramatic to spice up the story. Eyeing by thumb for the drive by was normal and he apparently gave good instructions, and then again when they saw foam from rocks his instruction likely would have avoid the rocks. I’d say it’s hard to blame him for the crash itself, though the 16 knots did make recovery difficult and was a mistake. HOWEVER, the captain’s handling of the disaster was absolutely as bad as it sounded. He is a horrible person for how he acted during the disaster, and I believe he deserved jail time for the deaths his inaction and bad actions caused.
That said, Carnival and the other 5 officers really should have gotten harsher punishments rather than pushing it all off onto the captain. The evacuation practice was scheduled for the day after the disaster rather than before the ship departed so the passengers didn’t know what to do. Carnival didn’t maintain the safety doors properly so the one jammed. The officers were complacent about procedure and didn’t do their jobs to verify their position which would have caught them being off course. And of course the man driving the boat kept getting the instructions wrong. It was a cascade of failures that led to the crash. The others really should have received harsher punishments.
These are my two cents; your opinion may vary.
Can we really appreciate Alicia making such a long reaction, that is no doubt takes a lot of energy to do, thank you, ur the best ❤

omg wasn't expecting some Internet Historian reacts, what a wonderful day! this and _Man in Cave_ and _That Zone Between Area 50 and 52_ are what I've found myself rewatching most through other reactors, but they're all fantastic. I think you'd especially find the _The Engoodening of No Man's Sky_ a good watch with your gaming background as uplifting tales don't happen often enough.
In case you want more info about Concordia, you could watch "Pt.1 Real Navigation Officer Reacts to The Cost of Concordia", he gives some clarification on some of the topics.
Easy way to remember what is starboard and what is port: both starboard and right have more letters than port and left, which both have 4 letters. So those are the pairs.
God, the reactions to the compensations were priceless.
Also that vtuber model looks glorious.
Oh my. I found you with Vox and enjoyed the quirky humor with Ant. So I hope you 2 just do the entire Internet Historian/Incognito Mode library.
Me 12 minutes in: I wish she would stop pausing.
Me after hearing about the deaths and sacrifices: Why did she unpause I want to go back to my safe space?..
Best, quote, Ever "The bussy of the vehicle will swing outwards~"
Loved this reaction, hope to see more!
So if you're unfamiliar with Internet Historian's videos, it's well worth pausing them to check out his annotations. He'll elaborate on details he didn't cover in the narration via those. For instance, he mentions in one annotation that Martin the Magician let his other assistant out of the box before he fled the stage.
This was very entertaining. Especially when Alicia gets more and more perplexed by the context of the situation and how ridiculous the crew was 😂
18:21 I’m glad you caught the little glitch in the music here. IH did indeed have to replace the music he originally had accompanying this scene, which is why the transition here sounds a bit weird. IIRC I believe he originally had “Ave Maria” here, but must have run into some weird rights issue.
I think the main problem wasn't even Schettino but the grand corpo behind it.
- A newbie helmsman bought cheap
- A captain who is clearly not suited for the job
- A crew that lies to passengers and neglects their duty
- Black box issues, doors jammed and outdated generator compartments
- Emergency generator that Pelon had to manually operate with a screwdriver
This is why I never go on cruise ships.
The money goes to the facade of luxury while security and a competent crew are not even a secondary objective.
Costa was so greedy in making money that they gambled it all on looking good with casinos and stage shows but completely neglect security out on sea.
Two of my new favorite channels combined with a reaction video?! Heeeell yeah!!! I'm really hoping another great vid comes out in the near future of her reacting to any of internet historian's content. Keep up the great work!
Internet Historian, Max0r, and TheRussianBadger are the 3 Musketeers of God-Tier Content.
Port is left and starboard is right. In NJROTC I was told to remember it like this "port has 4 letters, and left has 4 letters... If you can remember that much I shouldn't have to tell you how to remember which way starboard is."
That poor last guy who's body wasn't found for three years was only discovered after the ship had been refloated, towed into the dry dock and dismantling work had begun. So when they showed those eerie photos taken inside the ship earlier in the video after the incident, his body was still inside that ship at that time, still waiting to be discovered. I feel bad for the workers who discovered him, and for his poor family for having to wait SO long to know for sure what happened to him and to get his body back for burial.
I hope to see more Internet Historian reactions, maybe next time with Ant.
Love how she went in unsure, and came out having a blast.
No mans sky is a good vid, but one that will have you hooked is Man in Cave. It is very long, but it will breeze by with how its set up.
However, as of typing, that video was taken down and will be reuploaded soon. You really cant go wrong with internet historian's vids
Nautical Miles, not normal ones. Everyone at sea uses nautical miles. Same thing with speed being measured in Knots instead of km/h or mph.
Also as for port and starboard. Port is left, starboard is right, but it's important to note that those are relative to the ship. If you yell out "Hard to the left" there might be confusion depending on which way you're facing, is it your left? My left? So port and starboard are always relative to the ship. So if you're standing on the ship, looking forward towards the bow, as you would if you're cursing along, your left is port, your right is starboard.
Same thing applies to Ahead (sometimes just called forward) which is towards the front of the ship, and Astern which is towards the back (or stern) of the ship.
To answer your question, the captain was a navigation officer for a few years before becoming head of security. This gave him some prerequisites for becoming a captain.
That _almost_ makes sense in context, but you'd still think that the previous crashes would balance that out
First Jojo’s and now Internet Historian?! Some of my favorite stuff being reacted by you!
“The back end swings outwards” Alicia 2023
That’s how I throw it back in the club fr fr
That deputy mayor is a giga chad. And no, I don't think my local politicians would do that😂
fun fact americans arent the only countries that use miles, the uk also uses miles instead of kilometers as well. italy definitely does use kilometers but im assuming it was adjusted to miles because internet historian has a massive viewer base of americans. also the little subtitles he adds into his videos have a lot of extra info so those are always very helpful to read if you feel you are missing any context. its so helpful he does that.
I think it’s miles because ships use nautical miles not kilometers right ?
@@forpiepress1964 honestly couldnt tell you lol
I’m only 6 minutes in and I’m already loving Alicia’s reactions.
So far my favorite was asking if Seamorton was the captain’s wife, that made me smile thinking about what’s coming up later in the video.
Some newer ships have a bow thruster to try and help bring them around now. Due to the time it takes the rudder to have an effect on the ship. The easiest way to remember port and starboard is, port has 4 letters and left has four letters.
Jacob is the true gigachad here.
He suspected that everything would had been pinned on him in the end, and decided to just flee the country.
Can't blame him. If i were some random janitor from a third world country that got hired to steer a billion dollar cruise liner that crashed, i would do the same.
I was so scared the magician's assistant would get trapped in the box. Maybe I missed it in the video, but after a bit of research of my own, she seemed to get out just fine.
I am glad you reacted to this I’m gna tell all my friends
The behind the scenes/q&a for this is great.
i worked in the court of my neighboring town, every year there is a BBQ for public service employees (lifeguards, police, firefighters, municipal court, etc) and the mayor himself is at the grill (among other people), flipping burgers and grilling hot dogs.
Captain: "Tis but a scratch."
Harbor master: "A scratch? Your ship is listing to the side."
Captain: "No it isn't."
Oh man, this is a train wreck, or perhaps a shipwreck? Thanks for the reaction Alicia!
haha clever clever :3
Internet historian is really good. The humor and editing are on point.
Love watching people discover Internet Historian. My personal favorite and first video of his I saw was The Fall of 76. Also, I'd recommend to continue not skipping any of his ads if you watch more of his stuff. You will get flamed beyond belief if you do, plus they're just genuinely entertaining.
11:20 Good lord, the elf is clever. You're ahead of the script. Constantly. 13:58 22:40
17:35 Prof Legasov voice: "It's ...cheaper."
I think in this context miles would actually be used instead of kilometers though I could be wrong. It would technically be more accurate if he stated "nautical mile" instead of just mile since a nautical mile is a bit bigger
Yeah, naval and aviation standards are all in Imperial measurements due to being set down by the British and then taken up by the Americans. Only former Soviet states have any tendency to use metric.
Ah hell yeah. Internet historian reactions, let's go.
Thanks!
I find it (morbidly) hilarious that both the Titanic and the Costa Concordia sank for the same reason. The captain saw that the ship was going to collide, and thanks to poor communication and bad judgement, made the situation 1000x worse than it would have been then if they collided head on. Cause like, you crash head on, you lose one or two of those compartments he was talking about. But in actively trying to avoid the collision all together, it caused the object to scrape alongside the boat and open up more compartments than the ship could handle without sinking.
EDIT: Also 21:44 is the embodiment of left brain vs right brain
For the Captain thing.... you can be a Ship Captain by passing a few courses, and either the owner makes you Captain, or you own the Ship.
i see that the ultrakill video is going to influence your yt channel, and i’m absolutely 100% on board (no pun intended)
Another great video to react to is Internet Historian's "Man in Cave" video. I will warn that it is very intense for some though, but a super interesting watch
"That feels corrupt"
Well, it's Italy, so ofc it is.
Regarding the muster drill, no, thats been a thing for quite a while now. Thats likely how the passengers knew where to go for the lifeboats.
BTW, to make your skin crawl a little bit more, do you want to know what that scumbag said when he was asked to get back on the ship?
"Get back on the ship, Schettino!"
"But it's dark!"
"GET THE F*** BACK ON THE SHIP!"
I wish I made this thing up, I really do.... the whole thing was on the news (I'm Italian) for months, and I STILL can't belive it!
The captain took all of the blame- and he had plenty of culpability- but he's far from the only person responsible.
The company hired someone who didn't speak the language to save a few bucks. The third officer didn't do her fucking job. The second officer is supposed to make sure protocol is followed by the crew (which he didn't).
The dumbest part is that if *any one* of the things listed above had been different, the ship wouldn't have sunk.
Also-- don't shit on the crew too much for lying about the situation to the guests. It's actually standard procedure because people panicking in enclosed spaces like on a ship can easily result in injuries or death. They weren't yet sure the ship would sink- modern ships are designed with redundancies and backups on the off chance the hull was breached. The main issue is that the *pumps* aren't working. Without the pumps, there was no chance they could keep the ship afloat with the sheer amount of breached compartments. Really, the moment the captain heard the pumps weren't working, he should have ordered the ship to be abandoned.
DO shit on the captain for lying to the coast guard. I can understand why he was in denial- scuffing the paint like he did the first two times isn't that big of a deal, but sinking a ship is a career ender that usually comes with jail terms. Understanding why he was in denial in no way makes it ok or forgivable though.
And condemn the shit captain for abandoning the ship before everyone else had been evacuated. Fucking up to such a degree where you put a ton of people at risk is bad enough. Not taking responsibility for doing so by personally ensuring everyone gets off the ship is beyond shitty.
The point I'm trying to make is- the captain deserved to get the book thrown at him. But his bridge crew should have been in cells right next to his. The company should have gotten raked though the coals as well. Instead the captain was the only one to get punished for this shit- and that's a travesty in my book.
To help remember, "port" has fewer letters in it than "starboard," just like how "left" has fewer letters than "right".
Also, "staRboaRd" has more "R's" in it than "poRt". Associate the more "R's" with "right".
Personally, I remember them from a Calvin and Hobbes comic where, coincidentally, the two were stomping back home after a crash in the snow and Hobbes yells at Calvin while looking at a dictionary "SEE?!? STARBOARD IS RIGHT, PORT IS _LEFT!"_
Port is Left. Easiest way to remember is that Port has 4 letters, just as Left has 4 letters too.
Regarding the starting as head of security thing, a sailor on youtube told that it's normal. Since captain positions open rarely, people often start at some other position even if they would be qualified for captain. Not saying Scattino was qualified, just that the career route doesn't really tell anything.
Love internet historian would love to see more of him on the channel
I love at 49:36, even the avatar's face has a look of disgust that just gets stronger as the lady keeps talking.
Easy rule for remembering port from starboard. Port is left and they both have 4 letters so you know those are the same, then you have the other one starboard for right.
So there's actually a series where a RL ship officer reacts to these and explains/adds context to stuff, I think Internet Historian actually pinned it in the comments or something. One thing I remember is, it's not unusual in this field to be working on a ship in one capacity while working on your training and certifications and stuff for another job, especially if it's a job where new positions don't open up all that often; that's how Schettino went from head of security to captain, it wasn't a thing where they just randomly gave him the job out of nowhere with no qualifications.
Which also means lack of qualifications isn't an excuse here, he 100% should have known better and handled the situation better.
That would be sailorvince. Internet Historian gave him a shout-out in the Q&A video.
