The last one, the sinking of the Oceanus cruise ship is probably the most amazing rescue story in history. The captain and crew fled the ship not even telling the 500 passengers what was happening. The entertainment crew took charge of the evacuation. Not a single person died. Captain and crew got prosecuted.
The most amazing were the coastguard who immediately coordinated the rescue of 500+ people off a remote coastline with no prior notice. The reason that the emphasis is put on the entertainers who made the initial rescue call is because of politics.
If you are on a boat that is sinking. Put your life jacket on properly. Get in the water as soon as possible. Throw everything you can overboard that floats. Swim as far as away as possible and gather together. Staying under that blue top will do nothing but take you to the bottom.
God you people are inhuman. When I read these comments I have no faith in humanity. The only good thing is you shit heads are the exception not the norm.

@@VelcroKittie yeah i agree deep water really freaks me out its like a bottomless pit of nothingness its not even the animals that much its just the depth
It's interesting to see how different people deal with these situations. The psychological aspect of it is what I find most interesting and appealing when it comes to rather morbid topics such as this.
the real terror is how fast they go down when they lose positive buoyancy. its the one thing people underestimate. it doesn't take long for a ship to go from listing, taking on water to plunging into the depths.
I've seen an interview with a survivor of the sinking of the cruiseship/car ferry Estonia in 1994 (800 plus dead), who said he could feel the ship slowly lurching to one side and knew he had to get off the ship; even though the weather outside was bad, he knew it was his only chance to survive, but many other people remained sitting inside the upperdeck lounge area, holding on to anything they could rather than trying to escape. He said he wanted to shout at them to get up and follow him, but he realized he only had seconds left to escape. He wasn't the only surviver, something like 138 managed to survive and many of the dead were never able to get from their cabins to the upper decks, let alone off the ship, but seeing the people on that small boat with the canopy over it makes me understand the behavior of the people on the Estonia. It's more than just fear, though that can make some people freeze up too. I think there's a sense of disbelief; "this can't be happening!" that also prevents people from acting as quickly as they should.
Fear, and people expect the crew to tell them what to do, not realizing that the crew is probably just as terrified, confused, and uninformed as them. Never rely on the crew, trust your own best instincts. *And get out on an open deck*
Just like life. Some people cant believe their realities until it really hits them. By that time you’re drowning in misery already. We can learn a lot from the ocean. Greatest teacher of all
Best thing you can do is swim away as fast as possible because as the ship goes down a vortex is formed that sucks stuff in, the larger the ship the larger the vortex
That footage from the 7:00min mark forward was TRULY terrifying. Your realizing that your now TOTALLY at the mercy of the ocean. And what it can do too you in so many different ways. I hope that woman found her son, husband or whoever she was crying out for. Thank god there was a huge ship coming too save them.
@einar.1 what do you know about God?? I bet nothing cuz u a an atheist we dont call a prophet God at least so go get back to your sins till the death comes to you and then you will face the reality If my religion is false then lets compare our book with your book? Which obviously you dont even know the bible you just full of hate kiddo thnx God every day u getting older and the death is getting closer to you😉 and then you will get back to the one who created you and me and a greaaat punishment is for non believers and sinners Just like God says in the Quran: Say you wait,and we are waiting also and at the end we will see to whom belong the happiness
I would have too, but imagine some people have their kids there, I'd be more terrified for the kids than myself. But if there was no kids then I would have jumped overboard and would have taken floating things with me as the water looked kinda warm. And not to forget I would have made sure that the vest is on correctly.
And when You go to sleep, make sure to put on Your life jacket. And the next thing You her is: "Hello, my name is Sharky and You are my dinner..." And then he says..."I' ripp of Your head and shit down Your neck..'
its sad people died in that incident, they got help right away. Passengers on tours should have more instruction and guidance in what to do when that situation arises. Nobody should of died that day. I blame the tour employees/company.
7:22 Get the hell off a boat you know is going to sink! You can get caught or get sucked under with the boat. Life vests on, swim away and stick together!
Except, not: ua-cam.com/video/rvU_dkKdZ0U/v-deo.html Though you should definitely not stay inside or under anything when you know a boat is sinking, that was definitely dumb.
@@Fivox Citing a mythbusters video as proof is a little silly.. Sizeable ships 100% do create a vacuum as water replaces the space where a ship used to be, that same suction follows until they reach the seabed. Read some memoirs of people who survived sinkings, or an article..or anything really. It's a shitty way to go.
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin Do you have a single study that you can cite that irrefutably proves what you are claiming? Because there aren't any that I have seen and so far Mythbusters have been the only scientifically constructed and tested experiment that is available that I have seen. People claimed to have seen dragons and mermaids too, their claims amount to nothing without evidence. Turbulence on a slow sinking ship created by large waves breaking against the ship's hull and water inflow created from orifices becoming submerged potentially sucking people *into* the ship are plausible and good reasons to avoid being near a sinking ship. Along with any potentially buoyant flotsam shooting from the boat. I think the biggest part of this myth hinges on the idea that the boat in question is *not* already displacing literal tons of water while floating before it begins to sink. The boat then fills with water (usually gradually) and that then decreases the ships displacement with it (gradually as well). By the time that a vessel sinks, the water that was displaced has already filled the ship, meaning that there would be no "hole" or vacuum to fill. The ship was the vacuum, and it was filled while it sank. There are certainly other factors at play, but a large ship would have to fall into the water and instantly sink to create suction strong enough to pull people under with it, similar to the rock dropping experiment they briefly mention there. In this video: ua-cam.com/video/ZE3J9yLYu_Q/v-deo.html A very large ship sinks, and by the time it actually goes underwater, there is no "hole" where water rushes into and downward with the ship. Quite a lot of turbulence and aeration, but no visible suction. In this video: ua-cam.com/video/qJiW-dTO5SI/v-deo.html The first ship can be witnessed sinking *twice* once fast and the second time much slower, but neither event created a vortex or whirlpool that would be expected if suction were created by the events. In the second video there are several people near the event and are completely unaffected by the ship sinking and then capsizing underwater. So, you say you have 100% proof, I would love to see what you have.
@@goldreserve Circumstantial, and not always. I typed a lot though, and within it I don't disagree that not being near the ship is a good idea, just that suction is not the force that you need to worry about.
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin Actually it's backwards. All the air escaping a sinking hull with a hard deck will blow anything/everything not fastened down out of it. The built up air pressure can blow decks off, hatches, covers, and just about anything, including portions of the hull itself. A person in more likely to be injured by fast moving debris, or just overwhelmed by the turbulence at the water surface, but there is no vacuum that will suck someone under.
The tour boat makes me sick, those three deaths could have been easily avoided if the crew were competent enough to realize that they had to abandon ship.
Dude my instinct to FLEE was so strong just watching it and when I saw it Slightly slant I would have immediately been on the opposite end and jumped. Cause small vessels like that dont last long. Omfg x.x
#2 is really eye-catching. It forced me to do some research. Happened in January 2015, nine miles off Costa Rica. It was a large catamaran taking tourists to the island of Tortuga on a day-trip. Heavy seas pushed the shallow-bottomed boat over onto its side, and it quickly took on water and sank. This explains why the passengers in the video were just sitting there looking lost. They didn't realize the danger until it was too late. There were 99 passengers and 10 crew. 3 people died.
Sebastien Sade devastating to watch everyone just sit there. Scary boat to get stuck in as well with that roof blocking a lot of the exit space. The “I think shes dead” at the end. Scary.
@@gxsadler3315 according to the news article I found online about the incident two of the victims were elderly passengers, and one was a crew member. The article did not mention any names.
Jeesh, and maybe all 3 were captured in that video, it's weird looking at any footage from the past because you're constantly thinking "God, everyone in this footage has lived their lives and have passed or are elders." So when watching footage like this, it's scary to think that this was the end of their lives
the year the Oceanos sank was to travel as a waiter in dining room with him, finally Mr. Nikos who was in the crews in Piraeus, sent me on the ship world renaissance , I see it now and tears come to my eyes.
More of the moon has been mapped than the ocean. And we’ve literally been there once. Just shows you the sale of the oceans. Best perspective to give some one is like this “ get in your car and tell your passenger to watch as everything passes by. Drive for 1 km and stop and say “that’s one km, there are parts of the ocean that are 11km deep. Imagine driving for all that time and thinking, do that ten more times and in your mind flip that distance vertically” that’s how derp some parts are. Hard to wrap your head around

@Nick Haviland Yes, and especially when thinking there's only 73 years between it sinking and being rediscovered. It's about the same age Mick Jagger is now.

lmao me too are are little/close to no comments about titanic and i’m gonna cry i’m obsessed with tragedies like this especially titanic and the movie. don’t ask why i’m obsessed with ship tragedies.
The scariest part about a ship sinking aside from being in the middle of the ocean is that it usually starts off pretty slow and then accelerates in speed throughout the process as the boat fills with water
The last one, #1, is the Oceanos sinking. The 500' long vessel sank in only 300' of water just off the South African coast, which is why she takes so long to appear to sink. Because for a good 20-30 seconds in this footage her bow is resting on the sandy bottom with almost 200' of the ship still sticking out above the water line where she bobs like that for some time, before slowly rolling over and finally sinking beneath the waves ... it's compelling viewing, that's for sure! Fortunately not one of the approx. 200 passengers was killed in the tragedy, as everyone had been airlifted by a relay of 12 helicopters. But in common with the Costa Concordia, the Captain and all senior crew members had abandoned the ship before passengers realized that the girl was sinking! The on-board entertainer became the hero of the tragedy when he went up to the bridge to find everyone already gone. He worked out how to use the communication equipment to notify the South African Coast Guard. The Oceanos was about to be scrapped, and screw valves that prevented sea water from coming up through the plumbing failed, so it was only a matter of time before she went to bottom.
Elizabeth Whiteoak no offence but Oceanos was Epirotiki’s flagship at the time, and it was their third sinking in 18 months. They’d lost their previous flagship the year before, one of said sinkings. I don’t think they’d have scrapped the face of the line.
It's an experience that no doubt would share me scitless; to be on a sinking ship. I think back to the Arctic, Titanic, Lusitania, Empress of Ireland, Andrea Doria, etc. and although I've read books & watched documentaries about those sinkings, I could never really feel what those people went through. Just horrible.
Captain of Lusitania didn't realise the severity of torpedo damage near the bow and ordered full steam ahead to the Irish coast hoping to ground the ship in shallower water, an action that actually accelerated the inflow of water. It is thought by some that had he turned and ordered full steam astern, it may well have worked.
@@peteacher52 Hindsight is 20/20. "It is thought by some that had he turned and ordered full steam astern, it may well have worked." What would have worked? Buy 5-10 minutes more for the people to get off the ship? Or are you suggesting beaching the ship might have worked if he had gone full astern?? Sounds like speculation.
Never put your life jacket on while inside the ship, because if it floods you cannot escape. you'll be pushed to the wall and float up then you'll be stuck between water pressure and a wall
We all fear death. We’re born with the burning question of when I go how will I go. Witnessing others gives some window into what it’s like. We try to empathize the emotions in the chaos to try and reconcile our own mortality. It’s just a human thing
The Greek registered MV Oceanos Cruise Liner, at approximately 21:30 UTC+2, while off the Wild Coast of the Transkei, a muffled explosion was heard and the Oceanos lost her power following a leak in the engine rooms sea chest, a scoop-like device which brings in system cooling water. The ships engineer reported to Captain Yiannis Avranas that water was entering the hull and flooding the generator room. The generators were shut down because the rising water would have shorted them. The supply of power to auxiliary equipment which ran the engines had been severed, so the ship was left floating adrift. The water steadily rose, flowing through a small 10 cm (3.9 in) hole in the bulkhead and into the waste disposal tank. Without valves to close on the holding tank, the water coursed through the main drainage pipes and rose like a tide within the ship, spilling out of every shower, toilet, and waste disposal unit connected to the system. Realizing the fate of the ship, the crew fled in panic, neglecting to close the lower deck portholes, which is standard policy during emergency procedures. No alarm was raised. Passengers remained ignorant of the events taking place until they themselves witnessed the first signs of flooding in the lower decks. At this stage, eyewitness accounts reveal that many of the crew, including the Captain, were already packed and ready to depart, seemingly unconcerned with the safety of all their passengers!!! Nearby vessels responded to the ships SOS message and were the first to provide assistance. The South African Navy along with the South African Air Force launched a massive seven-hour mission in which 16 helicopters were used to airlift all of the remaining passengers and crew to the nearby settlements of Haven and Hole in the Wall Hole, approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) south of Coffee Bay. Of the 16 rescue helicopters, 13 were South African Air Force Pumas, nine of which were responsible for hoisting and evacuating 225 passengers off the deck of the sinking ship. All 571 people onboard were saved, following one of the world’s most dramatic and successful rescue operations of its kind. Thankfully there were no lives lost in this tragic incident!!!! At about 3:30 p.m. the following day, the Oceanos could no longer hold her head up and promptly sank. Her bow hit the sand 300 feet (91 m) below the surface, whilst more than 196.85 feet (60 m) feet of her stern remained aloft, above the water. Several minutes later she was gone!!! She came to her final rest on the sea floor at 32°4´S 29°9´E / -32.067, 29.15 W on her starboard side, almost perpendicular to the coastline, with her bow facing seaward.
I did a offshore survival course in Cape Town a few years back & one of the instructors, Luke Dicks (?), was one of the navy divers who responded to this sinking, he was awarded the Honourus Crux silver for his work that day.
Only the second to last one is scary (6:49). On a side note, the last one (the Oceanos) went down in 1991 & the cowardly crew abandoned ship, leaving all 571 passengers onboard! Luckily the singer/entertainer of the ship was able to use the radio to call for help & everyone was saved. The crew were tride & convicted & many went to jail
If I remember correctly, the singer managed to get a distress call out and the south african air force came out took everybody off the ship successfully, using helicopters in some pretty foul weather. I was sure that no-one died - apologies if I'm incorrect. I believe the singer was the last person to leave the ship!!
I think that woman said “I think she’s dead” cuz I think when they first fell into the water the woman videotaping was yelling “mom” & the lady looked to be elderly but idk maybe I’m wrong
@@brittaniistarzz8354 You can see a woman on her back in the water on the right, right after she says that. Pretty sure that's what they're talking about.
The last ship sank exactly like the "Titanic", only whole and not broken. It's scary how quickly it happens, water has incredible power. When you see this, you get a pretty good idea of what it must have looked like when the "Titanic" sank. Fortunately, in this case all passengers were brought to safety in good time. But you can see very clearly from this example: there is no such thing as 100% safety on the high seas and a sufficient number of lifeboats is no guarantee for a successful evacuation from the ship, especially when a ship as large as this one capsizes Not all boats can be launched. Simply terrifying.
@@janetharrison3492 pre 1994 South African navy and coastguard, if you were in a jam they were some of the most reliable people to rescue you. These days? Swim for it..
USN vet. Witnessed foreign registry freighter going down off the coast of Japan, early '70s. Very sickening sensation. All hands rescued far as I know, still wrenching. Something, I think, about a man-made, very large object, being seen to be so vulnerable, so somehow 'innocent' at the hands of humans. Thousnds of manhours, a fortune in steel, huge expenditure of human energy ... lost. Maybe that creates a connection with the lost vessel. The feeling I had was a combination of great sadness and of a great loss. It does seem a strange thing. Another odd thing .... I'm also a retired aviator. And seen aircaft of all sizes destroyed, rendered in pieces after accidents. Yet don't recall the same emotional response as I've felt for doomed ships. Strange.
I think it's the large size of ships, and the fact that they seem to be "alive" in a weird way, and you are watching it die helplessly. I have been scuba diving around shipwrecks, and the weirdest feeling is to be swimming around a large intact wreck, with ladders and open hatches and "Safety First" posters still on the bulkheads, and when you swim underneath the hull near the rudder and screws it gets even creepier. Then there's the yawning black opening of the stack; fun but still gives me chills to think of it. I dove on an intact wrecked German U-boat once, sank in WWII off of North Carolina, men had actually died inside it, about half her crew, but the boat was a lot smaller (and the Navy had removed all human remains) so it didn't give me that creepy feeling like the bigger wrecks do.
I remember the Oceanos. At the first sign of trouble the crew went over the side. A distress call was then made to the SA coastguard by the guitarist in the ship's band!
Interesting, so I looked it up. "Captain Avranas and his crew were criticized for leaving hundreds of passengers behind with no one other than the ship's entertainers to help them evacuate." Can you imagine going to the bridge of a cruise ship and nobody's there?
TheHeadHead1 Dont live a scared life. If thats the case, don’t fly or ride in a car because they crash. Don’t live near the beach because they have tsunamis. Don’t live on earth because you can be killed walking down the street
Agreed . People are like the Titanic was 1912. 100 years later in 2012 that idiot sunk his cruise ship that reef. They still have issues with cruise ships .
The #2 had to have been very terrifying to the folks on board. I was on a boat that sank in lake Erie years ago and the two of us were just under a half mile out in a 17 foot bayliner fishing boat. Somehow the rivetings separated and it went down but we didnt panic but instead used what time we had to call help and gather ourselves. Thank you Monroe county Michigan sheriff dept...you guys rock! Anyway sinking ships just touch our inner fear buttons no matter who we are wether seasoned mariners or not.
Often old WW2 ships are sunk with planned explosives to the hull to make an artificial reef for fish and other sea life. Also ships that are just genuinely outdated or left at port, unused.
The last ship in the video was called the Oceanos. A man named Moss Hills realized that this ship was listing and went to the bridge. Nobody was there so he called in for a rescue helicopter and saved everyone on board. All 517 people survived.
Seriously though this makes me remember the Sewol tragedy. Korean students and other passengers were taking a boat ride to an island in Korea. Water was getting in the boat, the captain told them to remain seated and stay inside when it was obviously sinking. Students texted their parents not knowing it was the last they will talk to their parents "I love you" they said. The captain was the first to get out leaving the passengers stranded. Some were able to escape, but many, many died because they followed what the captain said. Makes my heartache when they did a rescue search to try to put air into the boat a few hourse later for surivors but they didnt do it properly because the company president was looking. More lives could have been saved. Loved ones mourning to this day. An unforgettable tragedy it is.
The first one was the Japanese ship called Thunder. The crew had to abandon ship due to problems. The Sea Shepard ship was nearby and the Thunder sent out the distress call. The sea Shepard saved the crew as well as the captain and dropped them off in the nearest port.
Number three gave me goosebumps at the end. Regardless of if it was and intentional sinking and no one was on it. The angle of that camera, and the water just spilling over the deck, scared the life out of me! 😵
remember that one though. it might save your life. people don't think what they're riding on the ocean is a giant peice of metal with air in it keeping it afloat. the moment a hole is punched in one of those, tons of ocean water that is displaced by the ship wants in. if the hole is big enough or the ship full enough it can go down in moments. people dying during sinking because they think they have more time to get off or safe. when those boats start to sink and lose boyancy, it doesn't take long for them to plummet into the depths.
I've been on a boat that sank out at sea, it was only a little row boat but still, I was only 7yr old my 2 older bigger cousins and my older brother were being silly rocking the boat then the water suddenly gushed in, the sound was terrifying , it just went wwooooosh and yellowy green water came in from all around and we saw the white wooden row boat sink beneath us like a stone, me and my brother jumped on our cousin backs and the swam us back to shore about 1 kilometer,
Cutelectricity I’m a scuba diver and once your down about 200 feet it’s not scary at all. Yes the ocean is a scary place but sometimes you just need to (Push Your limits )🙂
Bender Bending Rodriguez it doesn’t take much courage to grab a life vest and jump off a sinking tour boat. The deck of the boat is literally four feet off the water and they’re in the tropics.
Bender Bending Rodriguez oh, and I would’ve jumped. The moment I saw this boat and heard the words “we’re taking on water” the first thing to pop into my head was “jump off”.
Naturally most ships sink in heavy seas and many in ice cold waters. Another issue is that usually it is a long ways from the deck of a ship to the ocean surface. In fact high enough to kill you on impact. Thankfully modern life saving vessels, formerly life boats, are sealed units with seats, seat belts and location beacons via satellite so they can be rescued without anyone having to make a call. All ocean going ships have transponders so it is quick and easy for a nation's coast guard to send the nearest vessel to the location needed. Recently I read of an Australian boat owner who was blown off of his yacht. Fortunately he was wearing a life jacket that had a built in location beacon. He switched on the beacon and was rescued from the ocean the next day. The Coast Guard was as amazed to find him as he was to be found.
That's incredible. How fortunate he was to survive a full day in the water (as well as overnight - which in itself is terrifying!) without freezing to death or being attacked and eaten by sharks or some other terrifying ocean creatures. 😱 Truly amazing!
This happened in Costa Rica. There was a strong wind warning, sailing was authorised. The camera person took off her life jacket in the water to swim and escape being trapped. One hour before rescue, as some private vessels came to the rescue.

Agreed. I hate open water. I'm fine on a lake or river, but out in the ocean on a cruise ship....no no no! Cruises, IMO, are the most useless things for the most useless people of our society. Bill Burr made a joke about sinking cruise ships if he was a dictator....it was hilarious.
Dude that was a long time ago now cruise ships have all kinds of things that will keep you safe.I've been on three of them and they did not sink.The only thing that will scare you is the price, I mean they just sneak up on ya.
The videos number 1,3,4,5 are very sad and heart-wrenching. It is very sad to see a mighty ship that once ruled the seas, today is included in the same sea. This is very scary 
An actual video with the true sounds and no music or someone narrating over it. Sad to watch these boats/ships go under. Especially the ones who had people on it. RIP to those 3 souls that perished on the second to the last video. 🙏 Thankfully all 571 passengers and crew survived the Oceanos sinking.
There is an old movie called "The Last Voyage" that depicts an explosion in the engine room that causes a passenger liner to sink. The director actually sank a cruise ship to film the end scenes where the last passengers get off as it slips under the waves. Really well done!

The last one, the sinking of the Oceanus cruise ship is probably the most amazing rescue story in history. The captain and crew fled the ship not even telling the 500 passengers what was happening. The entertainment crew took charge of the evacuation. Not a single person died. Captain and crew got prosecuted.

you think i’m that innocent lol it is sank, y’all’s can’t spell for shit
I've seen an interview with a survivor of the sinking of the cruiseship/car ferry Estonia in 1994 (800 plus dead), who said he could feel the ship slowly lurching to one side and knew he had to get off the ship; even though the weather outside was bad, he knew it was his only chance to survive, but many other people remained sitting inside the upperdeck lounge area, holding on to anything they could rather than trying to escape. He said he wanted to shout at them to get up and follow him, but he realized he only had seconds left to escape.
He wasn't the only surviver, something like 138 managed to survive and many of the dead were never able to get from their cabins to the upper decks, let alone off the ship, but seeing the people on that small boat with the canopy over it makes me understand the behavior of the people on the Estonia. It's more than just fear, though that can make some people freeze up too. I think there's a sense of disbelief; "this can't be happening!" that also prevents people from acting as quickly as they should.
Fear, and people expect the crew to tell them what to do, not realizing that the crew is probably just as terrified, confused, and uninformed as them.
Never rely on the crew, trust your own best instincts.
*And get out on an open deck*
Just like life. Some people cant believe their realities until it really hits them. By that time you’re drowning in misery already.
We can learn a lot from the ocean. Greatest teacher of all
Best thing you can do is swim away as fast as possible because as the ship goes down a vortex is formed that sucks stuff in, the larger the ship the larger the vortex
except the water is bloody cold and can freeze you within minutes.

Except, not: ua-cam.com/video/rvU_dkKdZ0U/v-deo.html
Though you should definitely not stay inside or under anything when you know a boat is sinking, that was definitely dumb.
@@Fivox Citing a mythbusters video as proof is a little silly.. Sizeable ships 100% do create a vacuum as water replaces the space where a ship used to be, that same suction follows until they reach the seabed. Read some memoirs of people who survived sinkings, or an article..or anything really. It's a shitty way to go.
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin Do you have a single study that you can cite that irrefutably proves what you are claiming? Because there aren't any that I have seen and so far Mythbusters have been the only scientifically constructed and tested experiment that is available that I have seen. People claimed to have seen dragons and mermaids too, their claims amount to nothing without evidence. Turbulence on a slow sinking ship created by large waves breaking against the ship's hull and water inflow created from orifices becoming submerged potentially sucking people *into* the ship are plausible and good reasons to avoid being near a sinking ship. Along with any potentially buoyant flotsam shooting from the boat.
I think the biggest part of this myth hinges on the idea that the boat in question is *not* already displacing literal tons of water while floating before it begins to sink. The boat then fills with water (usually gradually) and that then decreases the ships displacement with it (gradually as well). By the time that a vessel sinks, the water that was displaced has already filled the ship, meaning that there would be no "hole" or vacuum to fill. The ship was the vacuum, and it was filled while it sank. There are certainly other factors at play, but a large ship would have to fall into the water and instantly sink to create suction strong enough to pull people under with it, similar to the rock dropping experiment they briefly mention there.
In this video: ua-cam.com/video/ZE3J9yLYu_Q/v-deo.html A very large ship sinks, and by the time it actually goes underwater, there is no "hole" where water rushes into and downward with the ship. Quite a lot of turbulence and aeration, but no visible suction.
In this video: ua-cam.com/video/qJiW-dTO5SI/v-deo.html The first ship can be witnessed sinking *twice* once fast and the second time much slower, but neither event created a vortex or whirlpool that would be expected if suction were created by the events. In the second video there are several people near the event and are completely unaffected by the ship sinking and then capsizing underwater.
So, you say you have 100% proof, I would love to see what you have.
@@goldreserve Circumstantial, and not always. I typed a lot though, and within it I don't disagree that not being near the ship is a good idea, just that suction is not the force that you need to worry about.
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin Actually it's backwards. All the air escaping a sinking hull with a hard deck will blow anything/everything not fastened down out of it. The built up air pressure can blow decks off, hatches, covers, and just about anything, including portions of the hull itself. A person in more likely to be injured by fast moving debris, or just overwhelmed by the turbulence at the water surface, but there is no vacuum that will suck someone under.

#2 is really eye-catching. It forced me to do some research. Happened in January 2015, nine miles off Costa Rica. It was a large catamaran taking tourists to the island of Tortuga on a day-trip. Heavy seas pushed the shallow-bottomed boat over onto its side, and it quickly took on water and sank. This explains why the passengers in the video were just sitting there looking lost. They didn't realize the danger until it was too late. There were 99 passengers and 10 crew. 3 people died.

Imagine driving for all that time and thinking, do that ten more times and in your mind flip that distance vertically” that’s how derp some parts are. Hard to wrap your head around

The suction of the water around a sinking ship has got to be very powerful.
@abimhhgrr cunzolebh look it up, depends on the situation. but there is suction and it can pull u down with the ship

@@judsonkr you are correct, decking has been cut away in that video which shows it was intentional.
The scariest part about a ship sinking aside from being in the middle of the ocean is that it usually starts off pretty slow and then accelerates in speed throughout the process as the boat fills with water
Yup
The last one, #1, is the Oceanos sinking. The 500' long vessel sank in only 300' of water just off the South African coast, which is why she takes so long to appear to sink. Because for a good 20-30 seconds in this footage her bow is resting on the sandy bottom with almost 200' of the ship still sticking out above the water line where she bobs like that for some time, before slowly rolling over and finally sinking beneath the waves ... it's compelling viewing, that's for sure! Fortunately not one of the approx. 200 passengers was killed in the tragedy, as everyone had been airlifted by a relay of 12 helicopters. But in common with the Costa Concordia, the Captain and all senior crew members had abandoned the ship before passengers realized that the girl was sinking! The on-board entertainer became the hero of the tragedy when he went up to the bridge to find everyone already gone. He worked out how to use the communication equipment to notify the South African Coast Guard. The Oceanos was about to be scrapped, and screw valves that prevented sea water from coming up through the plumbing failed, so it was only a matter of time before she went to bottom.
Good information
@@rimuru8071
Thank you! It's not often one receives a compliment on UA-cam .. usually it's hate and abuse .. Thank you so much.
Isnt it some sort of violation for the captain and crew to abandon ship without notifying the passengers of the situation?
@@aojet yep, they were convicted of negligence
Elizabeth Whiteoak no offence but Oceanos was Epirotiki’s flagship at the time, and it was their third sinking in 18 months. They’d lost their previous flagship the year before, one of said sinkings. I don’t think they’d have scrapped the face of the line.
It's an experience that no doubt would share me scitless; to be on a sinking ship. I think back to the Arctic, Titanic, Lusitania, Empress of Ireland, Andrea Doria, etc. and although I've read books & watched documentaries about those sinkings, I could never really feel what those people went through. Just horrible.
Captain of Lusitania didn't realise the severity of torpedo damage near the bow and ordered full steam ahead to the Irish coast hoping to ground the ship in shallower water, an action that actually accelerated the inflow of water. It is thought by some that had he turned and ordered full steam astern, it may well have worked.
@@peteacher52 Hindsight is 20/20.
"It is thought by some that had he turned and ordered full steam astern, it may well have worked." What would have worked? Buy 5-10 minutes more for the people to get off the ship? Or are you suggesting beaching the ship might have worked if he had gone full astern?? Sounds like speculation.

The Greek registered MV Oceanos Cruise Liner, at approximately 21:30 UTC+2, while off the Wild Coast of the Transkei, a muffled explosion was heard and the Oceanos lost her power following a leak in the engine rooms sea chest, a scoop-like device which brings in system cooling water.
The ships engineer reported to Captain Yiannis Avranas that water was entering the hull and flooding the generator room. The generators were shut down because the rising water would have shorted them. The supply of power to auxiliary equipment which ran the engines had been severed, so the ship was left floating adrift.
The water steadily rose, flowing through a small 10 cm (3.9 in) hole in the bulkhead and into the waste disposal tank.
Without valves to close on the holding tank, the water coursed through the main drainage pipes and rose like a tide within the ship, spilling out of every shower, toilet, and waste disposal unit connected to the system.
Realizing the fate of the ship, the crew fled in panic, neglecting to close the lower deck portholes, which is standard policy during emergency procedures.
No alarm was raised.
Passengers remained ignorant of the events taking place until they themselves witnessed the first signs of flooding in the lower decks.
At this stage, eyewitness accounts reveal that many of the crew, including the Captain, were already packed and ready to depart, seemingly unconcerned with the safety of all their passengers!!!
Nearby vessels responded to the ships SOS message and were the first to provide assistance.
The South African Navy along with the South African Air Force launched a massive seven-hour mission in which 16 helicopters were used to airlift all of the remaining passengers and crew to the nearby settlements of Haven and Hole in the Wall Hole, approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) south of Coffee Bay.
Of the 16 rescue helicopters, 13 were South African Air Force Pumas, nine of which were responsible for hoisting and evacuating 225 passengers off the deck of the sinking ship.
All 571 people onboard were saved, following one of the world’s most dramatic and successful rescue operations of its kind.
Thankfully there were no lives lost in this tragic incident!!!!
At about 3:30 p.m. the following day, the Oceanos could no longer hold her head up and promptly sank.
Her bow hit the sand 300 feet (91 m) below the surface, whilst more than 196.85 feet (60 m) feet of her stern remained aloft, above the water.
Several minutes later she was gone!!!
She came to her final rest on the sea floor at 32°4´S 29°9´E / -32.067, 29.15 W
on her starboard side, almost perpendicular to the coastline, with her bow facing seaward.
Good comment.... I was wondering what happened.
I did a offshore survival course in Cape Town a few years back & one of the instructors, Luke Dicks (?), was one of the navy divers who responded to this sinking, he was awarded the Honourus Crux silver for his work that day.
Thanks for the info..👍
Oceanos, ex Achille Lauro, ex Willem Ruijs, a sad ending for a ship with a history going back to the second world war.
Did anything happen to the crew and captain? Like lawsuits or public berating?
Only the second to last one is scary (6:49). On a side note, the last one (the Oceanos) went down in 1991 & the cowardly crew abandoned ship, leaving all 571 passengers onboard! Luckily the singer/entertainer of the ship was able to use the radio to call for help & everyone was saved. The crew were tride & convicted & many went to jail
Apparently 3 people died
If I remember correctly, the singer managed to get a distress call out and the south african air force came out took everybody off the ship successfully, using helicopters in some pretty foul weather. I was sure that no-one died - apologies if I'm incorrect. I believe the singer was the last person to leave the ship!!
Shitty dispatcher told him:"What are you doing on deck?" or something like that.
Yes, I heard he received criticism for allegedly taking control of the ship. Ridiculous, as he literally was saving people
The entertainer was Moss Hill. incredibly he was aboard the Achille Lauro when it caught fire and sank off the coast of Somalia too.

@@brittaniistarzz8354 You can see a woman on her back in the water on the right, right after she says that. Pretty sure that's what they're talking about.
It was just a woman being overdramatic
The last ship sank exactly like the "Titanic", only whole and not broken. It's scary how quickly it happens, water has incredible power. When you see this, you get a pretty good idea of what it must have looked like when the "Titanic" sank. Fortunately, in this case all passengers were brought to safety in good time. But you can see very clearly from this example: there is no such thing as 100% safety on the high seas and a sufficient number of lifeboats is no guarantee for a successful evacuation from the ship, especially when a ship as large as this one capsizes Not all boats can be launched. Simply terrifying.
The last one has a happy ending!

USN vet. Witnessed foreign registry freighter going down off the coast of Japan, early '70s. Very sickening sensation. All hands rescued far as I know, still wrenching. Something, I think, about a man-made, very large object, being seen to be so vulnerable, so somehow 'innocent' at the hands of humans. Thousnds of manhours, a fortune in steel, huge expenditure of human energy ... lost. Maybe that creates a connection with the lost vessel. The feeling I had was a combination of great sadness and of a great loss. It does seem a strange thing. Another odd thing .... I'm also a retired aviator. And seen aircaft of all sizes destroyed, rendered in pieces after accidents. Yet don't recall the same emotional response as I've felt for doomed ships. Strange.
I think it's the large size of ships, and the fact that they seem to be "alive" in a weird way, and you are watching it die helplessly. I have been scuba diving around shipwrecks, and the weirdest feeling is to be swimming around a large intact wreck, with ladders and open hatches and "Safety First" posters still on the bulkheads, and when you swim underneath the hull near the rudder and screws it gets even creepier. Then there's the yawning black opening of the stack; fun but still gives me chills to think of it. I dove on an intact wrecked German U-boat once, sank in WWII off of North Carolina, men had actually died inside it, about half her crew, but the boat was a lot smaller (and the Navy had removed all human remains) so it didn't give me that creepy feeling like the bigger wrecks do.

Interesting, so I looked it up. "Captain Avranas and his crew were criticized for leaving hundreds of passengers behind with no one other than the ship's entertainers to help them evacuate." Can you imagine going to the bridge of a cruise ship and nobody's there?
The crew of the Oceanos should have been lined up and shot or, at the very least, thrown in prison for life.
It was a Greek crew, so that's Greeks for ya
paul roustan That’s an ignorant comment. Because one guy was an idiot doesn’t mean all Greeks are negligent at their jobs.
Richard Clarke Thst entertainer actually survived TWO sin kings...
Love the “safety first” logo on the front of the number 4 vessel.

This video is truly captivating [5:27]! The realistic footage of sinking ships brings a mix of suspense and haunting vibes.
These videos are a main reason I will never book a cruise for a vacation. Boats scare the hell outta me
TheHeadHead1 Dont live a scared life. If thats the case, don’t fly or ride in a car because they crash. Don’t live near the beach because they have tsunamis. Don’t live on earth because you can be killed walking down the street
Boats aren't what scare you. Being in the water scares you.
@@Foreheads I don't live a scared life, boats are not my thing though.
I was on a cruise, and it was fun. You don’t even realize you are on a boat
Agreed . People are like the Titanic was 1912. 100 years later in 2012 that idiot sunk his cruise ship that reef. They still have issues with cruise ships .
The #2 had to have been very terrifying to the folks on board. I was on a boat that sank in lake Erie years ago and the two of us were just under a half mile out in a 17 foot bayliner fishing boat. Somehow the rivetings separated and it went down but we didnt panic but instead used what time we had to call help and gather ourselves. Thank you Monroe county Michigan sheriff dept...you guys rock! Anyway sinking ships just touch our inner fear buttons no matter who we are wether seasoned mariners or not.
So chilling to hear her say.”I think she’s dead”
Very sad what happened to the crew and passengers on the tour ship.
All of that couldve been avoided if the crew were smart enough to realize it was time to abandon ship.
I'm not positive, but I think that's the one where captain and crew had abandoned the ship and left the passengers to fend for themselves.
@@drew65sep it isn't. That was number 1 the Oceanus.
@@flintymcduff5417 true... the creepy and sad story
@ oceanos was creepy and sad? Literally nobody died, it was just a huge "'these people are fucking gross" moment towards the crew and captain
good vid bro
the Sewol Ferry is the most traumatizing for me- I constantly feel like crying after 6 hours of research on the topic 🎗️ Rest In Peace, Angels

@@danuk2136 you look fun at parties
@@adamoneale4396 why? Because a VERY outdated joke isn't funny anymore..maybe think of different material than the same old rip of comment 👍
Some of the ships were intentional sinkings to make artificial reefs.
Ooooo
Which of them ?
yeah... I've heard they do that to old ships...
The third video i think? The one with the static camera and the slow methodical filling
Often old WW2 ships are sunk with planned explosives to the hull to make an artificial reef for fish and other sea life. Also ships that are just genuinely outdated or left at port, unused.
The last ship in the video was called the Oceanos. A man named Moss Hills realized that this ship was listing and went to the bridge. Nobody was there so he called in for a rescue helicopter and saved everyone on board. All 517 people survived.
Where was the captain and crew
@@amandahudson431, they left the boat before anyone else got off.
I know Moss well. Ran a music shop in Surrey for a bit. True gent:
Mate. Was 571 ppl exactly. Not 1,500.. ;)
what made the ship sink on a peaceful sea?
Seriously though this makes me remember the Sewol tragedy. Korean students and other passengers were taking a boat ride to an island in Korea. Water was getting in the boat, the captain told them to remain seated and stay inside when it was obviously sinking. Students texted their parents not knowing it was the last they will talk to their parents "I love you" they said. The captain was the first to get out leaving the passengers stranded. Some were able to escape, but many, many died because they followed what the captain said. Makes my heartache when they did a rescue search to try to put air into the boat a few hourse later for surivors but they didnt do it properly because the company president was looking. More lives could have been saved. Loved ones mourning to this day. An unforgettable tragedy it is.
The woman that was yelling John, I felt soo bad apparently he died , R.I.P and may we pray for their souls❤️
escrylica apparently her son didn’t die. It was 3 elders who died, still very sad.
which one was this
nevermind sorry
I thought she said shark
Griseld Islamaj I think that was someone else but yea I heard that too
An old man who has died
But the kid is alive
As a USA Navy '' MAN '', I like the START UP SOUND !! THANKS!!!
Really makes you think how absolutely horrific it must have been to have been aboard the sinking Titanic
and unlike the movie, It was really dark. after the lights went out.
At 2am in middle of nowhere pitch dark cold omfg
Ship: Safety first (written on boat) Also Ship: Bow underwater and sinking.
Yea your right
So ironice

"I think he's dead!" imagine, you couldnt imagine what it was like to be on there.
How would she know hes dead ??? And so fast
Three people died but they were all elderly. Ivor Stanley Hopkins - 80, Edna Oliver - 68, Sharon Johnson - 70.
@@zlatkajupe elderly or not people died. Bet you would make a big deal out of it if they were different people.

@@God_Help_Me11 real fucking quick at jumping to conclusions
Amazing: these vids provide stern (no pun intended) lessons in the physics of buoyancy and the unquenchable thirst of the sea.
The first one was the Japanese ship called Thunder. The crew had to abandon ship due to problems. The Sea Shepard ship was nearby and the Thunder sent out the distress call. The sea Shepard saved the crew as well as the captain and dropped them off in the nearest port.
Number 4 or number 1?
He said number one, you can see the guy with the sea Shepard shirt on. It’s not rocket science
and then went back to harassing ships and acting like pirates while pretending to “help” the oceans
"due to problems"
yeah, the problem was that they were scuttling their ship while still aboard
@@ryabow Yep, they sank the ship themselfes.
Number three gave me goosebumps at the end. Regardless of if it was and intentional sinking and no one was on it. The angle of that camera, and the water just spilling over the deck, scared the life out of me! 😵
Nr. 3: Is the American destroyer UUS Radford, that was intentionally sunk to make a artificial reef.
@@Sokol100o
remember that one though. it might save your life. people don't think what they're riding on the ocean is a giant peice of metal with air in it keeping it afloat. the moment a hole is punched in one of those, tons of ocean water that is displaced by the ship wants in. if the hole is big enough or the ship full enough it can go down in moments. people dying during sinking because they think they have more time to get off or safe. when those boats start to sink and lose boyancy, it doesn't take long for them to plummet into the depths.
I've been on a boat that sank out at sea, it was only a little row boat but still, I was only 7yr old my 2 older bigger cousins and my older brother were being silly rocking the boat then the water suddenly gushed in, the sound was terrifying , it just went wwooooosh and yellowy green water came in from all around and we saw the white wooden row boat sink beneath us like a stone, me and my brother jumped on our cousin backs and the swam us back to shore about 1 kilometer,
the #2 one should've been the first scariest...
No the #3 one should be the scariest
#2 it happens in Thailand
Oh sorry not #2 is #4
It is for reefs and scuba diving
Hearts Iron 4 2 wasn’t for scuba diving, 3 people died
The thrust of the Ocean is scary..!
Titanic was called the ship of dreams, and it was, it really was...
Titanic Lover It’s because they bragged and boasted,” Even God Himself can’t sink this ship!”

@Ivan Khalifa Okay. Sorry, I guess being a fan of a movie is now a crime. Sorry about that sir. My bad
Ivan Khalifa you ok hun?
Floyd1504 Lol what else did you say that I didn’t???
6:53 is absolutely terrifying.. Imagine being stuck under the boat while it topples over you.
Biggest anxiety
Tbf these people were pretty stupid. Didn't even think to get off
@@PBI45 I’m sure you would definitely have done better wouldn’t you
I would have jumped off as soon as I saw it was going down, why stay on it. The man running past the camera just before it went probably did the same.
Some of these sinkings are deliberate. Ships that were sunk to make artificial reefs. Should not be included here.
FINALLY SOMEONE IS SMART ENOUGHT!
Right
I'm sure that's somehow racist (boatist? wreckist?) Anyway a leftist liberal will crucify you for it.
Sven boooo
Yeah well it says so if you would read the description.
This was hilarious. Now I'm gonna get a great night's sleep
large bodies of water have always been my fear. even something as small as my local lake. if i can’t see the bottom, IM STAYING AWAY
Same I am an awful swimmer
Where’s the fun in that🙂
@@skylarweatherford2007 wdym? i know how to swim perfectly fine but the thought of whats down there petrifies me
Cutelectricity I’m a scuba diver and once your down about 200 feet it’s not scary at all. Yes the ocean is a scary place but sometimes you just need to (Push Your limits )🙂
Oh really after about 200 feet eh? Lol
You want to tell these people what the depth limit is for recreational diving, Mr. Scuba Diver? Hahaha
The scene where the boat filled with vacationers went down. Great of the camera man continuing to shoot.
Yeah, stay under the canopy where you can become trapped instead of jumping into the water away from the vessel. Very smart.
It's tipped half way over, but maybe if I sit here and pretend that nothing is wrong it wont sink.
Why didn't they abandon ship if they knew it was sinking?
how would you react if you were on their place? Don't act like a tough guy cuz you ain't...
Bender Bending Rodriguez it doesn’t take much courage to grab a life vest and jump off a sinking tour boat. The deck of the boat is literally four feet off the water and they’re in the tropics.
Bender Bending Rodriguez oh, and I would’ve jumped. The moment I saw this boat and heard the words “we’re taking on water” the first thing to pop into my head was “jump off”.
Naturally most ships sink in heavy seas and many in ice cold waters. Another issue is that usually it is a long ways from the deck of a ship to the ocean surface. In fact high enough to kill you on impact. Thankfully modern life saving vessels, formerly life boats, are sealed units with seats, seat belts and location beacons via satellite so they can be rescued without anyone having to make a call. All ocean going ships have transponders so it is quick and easy for a nation's coast guard to send the nearest vessel to the location needed. Recently I read of an Australian boat owner who was blown off of his yacht. Fortunately he was wearing a life jacket that had a built in location beacon. He switched on the beacon and was rescued from the ocean the next day. The Coast Guard was as amazed to find him as he was to be found.
That's incredible. How fortunate he was to survive a full day in the water (as well as overnight - which in itself is terrifying!) without freezing to death or being attacked and eaten by sharks or some other terrifying ocean creatures. 😱 Truly amazing!
This happened in Costa Rica.
There was a strong wind warning, sailing was authorised.
The camera person took off her life jacket in the water to swim and escape being trapped.
One hour before rescue, as some private vessels came to the rescue.
The tourists? God damn, i live here and I didn't know
WHY am I watching this "sinking ships clip" so early in the morning?! There's something so sad about watching a ship sinking

That woman was looking for her son and the other one said "I think hes dead" wtf lady

I know right... I was like "really?"
I hope this girl was wearing a GoPro and didn’t avoid grabbing that kid instead of filming.
"I think SHES dead" is what was said. Look close, and you see an older lady laying down. That was one of the 3 deaths (all elderly people).

Moonlight Grande me too it’s a really scary xx
Agreed. I hate open water. I'm fine on a lake or river, but out in the ocean on a cruise ship....no no no!
Cruises, IMO, are the most useless things for the most useless people of our society. Bill Burr made a joke about sinking cruise ships if he was a dictator....it was hilarious.
Being on a cruise is a wonderful experience, but it seem like after 2008 they started having problems.
Dude that was a long time ago now cruise ships have all kinds of things that will keep you safe.I've been on three of them and they did not sink.The only thing that will scare you is the price, I mean they just sneak up on ya.
Vladpryde sounds like you can’t afford a cruise
The videos number 1,3,4,5 are very sad and heart-wrenching. It is very sad to see a mighty ship that once ruled the seas, today is included in the same sea. This is very scary

If you enjoyed the third clip at 3:23, then there's another interesting video called "Watching Paint Dry" you should see.
Lol
😂😂😂
6:30 is where it starts
2:00 Ah yes the sinking of the HMS "Safety First" 😅🛳🌊
I’ve actually never seen most of this footage. Good job, OP.
An actual video with the true sounds and no music or someone narrating over it. Sad to watch these boats/ships go under. Especially the ones who had people on it. RIP to those 3 souls that perished on the second to the last video. 🙏 Thankfully all 571 passengers and crew survived the Oceanos sinking.
There is an old movie called "The Last Voyage" that depicts an explosion in the engine room that causes a passenger liner to sink. The director actually sank a cruise ship to film the end scenes where the last passengers get off as it slips under the waves. Really well done!
who would waste that much of money on just one ending scene?
@@theformer1337agent artificial reef dude
@@rosemarybowling2316 yeah i wasn’t thinking when i made that comment lmao
They didn’t use the Queen Mary they used a ship called the SS IIe de France and renamed it to the SS Claridon
They didn't sink it. It was going to be sank anyway and they used it.
