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

This narrator is worth his weight in gold. He's done a lot of air crash investigations on nat geo. Very adept voice for these types of documentaries 👌. Many thanks to the uploader. 👍
The guy at shore rescue place having a heart attack made me tear up. 40 years old. ❤
Courageous efforts by the locals and fishermen in rescuing the passengers. Kudos to them. Accident could have been avoided and those responsible are brought to justice. Such a sad loss of lives.
One thing I've learned about maritime disasters; it's a defining moment. Some people become heroes. Some turn out to be cowards. Some people freeze and cannot help themselves. Others get an adrenaline rush and spring into action...it changes lives. Some are haunted by the experience, and never talk about it. We never know about the character of people until it's tested.
Heidi and Christine, thank you both for helping the man onto your lifeboat. You are good women. Your persistence saved his life and it was the right thing to do.
The first officer got 18 years. The captain got 15. Others got between 18months and 8years.
That guy that told the one girl not to let the older lady near them, as heartbreaking as it is, was 100% right .. people in that situation don’t think clearly.. their body is dumping a massive amount of adrenaline, which shuts off cognitive function, meaning you aren’t thinking at all, your brain goes into survival mode and all you think about is surviving, at all costs, at least until you actually come to terms with the fact that you’re going to die , and start thinking about family, life and regrets ..
I’ve said this so many times to so many people I know. If I ruled the world, I would make it a law that everyone should learn how to swim. Oceans , lakes, and rivers cover 75% of the earths surface. I will never understand anyone that travels by water and doesn’t know how to swim. That should be the very first safety precaution one takes before going anywhere near water.
That boat used to be called "Golden Virgina" and was already a wreck back in 1989 when my now wife and I went on it from Pireas to Paros. We felt unsafe even then.
MS Express Captain: Yes Bocephus, I am most definitely ready for some football

How brain dead do you have to be to think you can just leave the boat to its own devices and watch TV instead of driving?
I'M SURE THAT GIANT ROCK WAS ALREADY THERE FOR AGES .IT DIDN'T JUMP IN FRONT OF THE SHIP😅
I wanted to hear the results of the investigation regarding the Captain’s and crew’s disappearance during the catastrophe and not helping anyone.
What’s awful about this entire situation is that they had a max of 61 crew members that sad night and not even one came to assist the screaming passengers I just don’t think the sentences they got does justice for anybody there was no alarm nothing no steward to tell them what to do or where to go it was all just fed for yourself
The stupidity. Your possessions are replaceable. Your life is not.
No random safety inspections to make sure all of the crew is following the laws like keeping the water-tight doors shut? I mean they had 9 of the 11 doors wide open, I guarantee you it was not the 1st or even the 40th time that had happened. Just like arrogant pilots who take their responsibilities for granted, this captain and crew did the same thing in being wayyyy tooo comfortable with thinking the ship will never sink on their watch.
Look up how many Greek captains and crew have gone on trial or been charged for cowardice-negligence and other charges.
The crew really dropped the ball.... incredible liability
