The irony is this cruise ship company connects to the Titanic: Costa made the Concordia and was purchased by Carnival, which purchased Cunard, which purchased the White Star Line, the company that made the Titanic.
But was it actually the titanic that sunk… sounds like 2 planned insurance scams But that’s just me with zero knowledge and don’t feel like looking anything up lmao
Also yes the lady in the box survived - if you go back to the section where IG is explaining the blackout, you can see a little footnote on the bottom of the screen that states that when the magician abandoned the stage, he flipped open the latch before he left so she could safely escape. She even “pops out” of the box during that segment.
Coule IG maybe be one of the passengers? He had quite some specific details about the things related to the passengers... The woman's call (even a section where he covers her face) that reached to the Harbor Máster Is quite difficult to know that kind of aspects.
"lets spend hundreds of millions of dollars into creating this giant ship... and then spend as little as possible for the people responsible with keeping it safe and operational" I'm sure there is a perfectly rational business explanation for why overall it's better to hire complete idiots to control half a billion dollars worth of investment... but I'm not seeing it.
@@Fordo007 That's actually very easy to explain, the people picking staff and the people commissioning the ship are completely different and report to different bosses. Neither see the big picture, they simply do their compartmentalized job as best they can. So the people commissioning the ship are expected to run up every expense, so they do, and they get congratulated for it because that's their job. The staff pickers are not thinking about the bigger picture at all, it's there job to find staff, and if they can get them at a bargain price all the better. The right hand does not know what the left is doing.
Ship cost 500 Million dollars but the crew to run it only cost *insert small amount of money*. Let that be a lesson, if you're going to spend all that money to buy something, don't skip costs on the crew running it.
Not really, it's called "corruption". I wouldn't be surprised if they were still being paid full price on paper only for a large chunk of that money to "disappear" before it reached the employees.
@@gabrielclark1425 Word of mouth here in Italy is that Schettino was 'quick promoted' more for his bedroom skills and personal connections than for his navigational skills. Also, that night he was slightly drunk too.
They finally got around to reacting to Internet Historian! Just gotta hope they're planning to watch the Fyre Festival video or the No Man's Sky video.
I love how often he has to close his eyes as if needing a moment to process the stupidity, arrogance and utter incompetence of some of these people. My particular favourite moment is how he was insulted by how little they paid compensation to these poor victims. Just felt touching.
No kidding :( They could've all survived if things had been done properly. Personally, it hits hard when there are people that could've been saved, but they were left to die. Like in the MV Sewol disaster, also caused by a trash captain leaving everyone behind.
@@leritykay8911 but thats kinda the point. This isn't as hopeless a situation as the Titanic, not even close. If the captain hadn't been an incompetent coward with a mostly incompetent crew, no one would have died. So the fact that *anyone* died, is ridiculous
The funniest part is IH literally says he couldn’t find a picture of the accident so here’s the scene from Speed 2 on the photo and still almost no one notices
Hello, Chicagoan. I'm a Kentuckian over here and I understand your frustration. Literally everything with the chain-of-command on that boat _and_ the company that oversaw it was wrong from the get-go.
Some info on the captain: he already had the necessary qualifications before transitioning from security to captain, the 2 prior accidents were minor ones, he did the sail by as a favor, eyeballing with landmarks in normal (though maybe it shouldn’t be), and his emergency instructions to swing the ship most likely would have cleared the rocks. Not as bad as it sounded so far other than setting the speed too fast for safety protocols, but once the ship struck the rock, the captain was as exactly as incompetent at handling the crash as he sounded. The complacent officers and the newbie navigator had a lot to do with the actual crash and they got off light compared to the captain. They all should have served time, especially the navigator.
It's really unfortunate that all of this was pretty much caused by communication errors because the helmsman didn't know the language well and the third officer didn't relay the bearings like she was supposed to. Honestly, even after the actual crash, if Schettino hadn't been so spineless and actually did his job properly he wouldn't have been remembered as such a huge shithead.
@@RelativelyBest Yeah, but when you've already caused 30 deaths AND ran away from your legal responsibilities, your safety record and marital infidelity become way bigger deals in people's minds.
what i wanna know is how 'cazzo' ended up being a word for 'penis'. it doesn't sound right. i know a few words for it but 'cazzo' doesn't do it for me.
You guys need to do yourselves a favor and watch the rest of IH’s videos. Some of them are kind of long but they’re all hilarious, fascinating and incredibly well made.
My sister works in the yachting industry. From what I understand, most of the 'good' captains are working on private yachts. The cruise lines don't pay as much as much as the private yachts. And, pretty much, you get what you pay for.
Such an exciting and interesting story, but that's par for the course with Internet Historian! It's just a shame I need to keep myself occupied during the leadup to the premiere.
I tell you one thing... Schettino may have been a coward and an PoS, but... Holy shit the maneuver he was trying to pull was actually genius. If he had managed to tail drift the Costa Concordia, he would been remembered as the best captain that has ever sailed. Yeah it didn't happened, but still Pretty impressed about how accurate the moves were and that what if scenario
No he wouldn't. Even if he'd managed to steer around the rocks, the only reason the rocks were a problem is that he put them in that situation in the first place. If he'd hadn't been lazy about checking their course, if he'd instilled better discipline and communication in his crew, if he hadn't been so cavalier wanting to go closer than he was told was safe, they would not have been close enough to the rocks to hit. You don't get to claim someone is a hero and a genuis if they save the day in a bad situation that they themself caused! It's like if a surgeon were waving around a loaded gun, accidentally shot you, and then saved you from bleeding to death. That's called minimum competancy, not "the best ever"
@@sandpiperr He didn't intend to get closer than was considered safe. He intended to get AS close as was safe. .3 to .4 miles, and he wanted .3 miles. However eyeballing it and communication errors caused them to end up much closer than he wanted to be. That was the first mistake that you can KINDA take off the Captain's hands, like it's still his responsibility for sure, but it's whoever hired a guy that can barely speak english or italian as the fucking helmsman, and not even an experienced helmsman who's REALLY at fault for that. The first mistake (of MANY) that's REALLY and entirely the Captain's fault though is going as fast as they were. That is NOT ok to do if you're anywhere near a shoreline. If you're out to sea, go as fast as you're gonna go, unless something out of your control happens it's probably not going to matter too much. As far as I'm aware there are no speed signs in the ocean. Near the shoreline though, come on, there's more shit near the land, that's just common sense. Keep yourself maneuverable.
I remember this one happening and I was surprised at the captain's negligence of his passengers by ditching the ship to save his bacon, but Internet Historian's video taught me a lot more about that situation and I'm actually surprised that this was how it turned out. It's a great video, and I really enjoyed seeing your reaction to it. Subbed!
If Italy really tried to go after Carnival, their ships would stop going there and that would cost the country billions in tourism dollars and would cost thousands or tens of thousands to lose their jobs who do are in the industry. That’s why Italy was so eager to let Carnival off the hook. I;ve heard this is true of most countries.
I don't mean to play favorites with my Chicagoan Reactors, but Kit always puts a smile on my face, certainly knows what he is doing, always entertaining.
I understand the fear of a cruise liner, but they are most definitely not a waste of money. They just spent 570,000,000 million on the ship, and five bucks on the captain and navigator. It's like spending 50,000 on a car, and then getting really drunk except it's not your money spent, and you have a lot of strangers with you for the ride.
The stupid thing is, there are actual instruments and technological devices on these boats to help plot these kind of courses, and show you the exact direction, degree and speed of the ship to plot a course like the one they were attempting to make so eyeballing it is a pretty risky and stupid thing to do, even for captains who actually are qualified and or have experience
Sail by salute. Basically the same as when those douchebags race down your street at 3 in the fricking morning in a red lambo, screaming their heads off at all of us lower lifeforms because we don't have lambos and they're so cool.
I'm glad this jumped into my reccomended videos, this is the first video I've seen of yours and I do commend you for trying to keep a straight face for IH. I'm going to have a little binge of your channel now :)
Some dude out there in the world has that bell, I love that, they haven't publicly done anything with it. They just took it and have it. There's a chance they threw it out eventually, but I really hope they just kept it
Its just amazes me how the management saves a few bucks on salaries endangering millions of dollar worth of ships and human lives. Good riddance pilots need to pass complex exams regularly.
The one good thing I can see happening on a cruise ship is meeting a lot of new people you can socialize with. Being in the same place for 1-2 weeks makes that easier. Aside from that there's literally nothing a cruise ship can offer that I wouldn't rather experience on land in different parts of the world. I'm not hating on sailing. A large part of my family were fishermen and I've sailed on the Atlantic between Netherlands, Denmark, England, Scotland and the Faroe Islands in a sailboat, but the things a cruiseship offer are more interesting on land and then things a sailboat offers is more interesting at sea.
You think that cruise ships are a waste? You're absolutely right. A large amount of wasteful luxury, lost of pollution, and the whole thing of them being outside of country borders allowing them to get away with various things.
"We live in a society!" Yes, this is how Aussies live in society.. finding humour where you can in even the most garbage of situations. Between the musicians playing "My Heart Will Go On" and the "Buyer to Collect" listing, my terrible sense of humour is abundantly satisfied😁
Seen way too many ocean horror movies about sea monsters and aliens and mutants, don't need a real horror experience like a cruise-gone-wrong thank you. Bet if I took an online quiz about "Would You Survive A Sinking Ship" my results would be 'Most Likely To Be Eaten By Tiger Shark'.
I'm with ya man. No cruise ships for me. Why the hell would I want to be packed into a floating tin can where disease can rapidly tear through the ship's population with nowhere to go?
I agree. I don't want a cruise ship. What I do want, however, is an ocean liner. Give me a good ol' fashioned steamship that is even more jam-packed where disease will spread faster than fire with gasoline.
More Internet Historian would be great, he loves to retell events and stories that either happened in the recent couple of decades or involved the Internet to varying degrees. He's covered things from failed game launches like Fallout 76 and No Man's Sky, to the Coronavirus, to Fyre Festival, to 4-chan, etc. and mixes in lots of memes to try and lighten the story a bit.
The real basic reason for the crew being so bad is qualification wise you just need experience on a ship not experience at driving one. You accomplish a course to operate a boat then apply for a job operating 1
I've only been on one cruise. Carnival cruise ship Celebration. Week long cruise that stopped in Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. Fun trip, nice stops. Ship's cabins were small for our family of 4. But restaurants were great as you could get as much as you want as it's all covered by your ticket. They had a kids program for me and my sister that had fun activities. Had a nice arcade. Pools were crowded, had best pool time in the empty kids pool at the very back of the ship. Every night room service would clean the rooms and give us new towels that were folded into shapes of different animals. So that was a nice touch. Crew were all very courteous and professional from what I saw. Never had any worries or emergencies. Parents went on an Alaskan cruise a few years ago and reported similarly. All in all I'd love to do one again. I mean if the choice was airplane or cruise ship and I had to judge on safety... it'd be cruise ship. Lot more plane crashes than cruise ship disasters. Of course I'd also like if luxury zeppelins made a come back...
Love the video and was longing for some solid commentary with it, thank you very much. I dont like cruise lines either honestly, they're so wasteful and terrible for the environment people dont know
Technically, Estonia was a ferry, not a cruise ship. But then again, the Titanic was an ocean liner. But I don't know enough about ships to be able to tell the difference.
@@XonWechtvt Ocean Liner were made for crossing the ocean for transportation (before airplanes). The faster the best, tho obviously the higher classes still had great luxury. Currently there is only 1 ocean liner still in use which is Queen Mary 2 operated by Cunard (they have 2 other ships but those are classified as cruise liners). Cruise Ship is made with the porpose for leisure. Basically they work like a resort where you can either spend some time there (like in cruises that have no stops) or you use it as a moving hotel so you can visit multiple cities without worrying about moving your stuff because the hotel moves with you (like on cruises that have multiple stops on its itinerary). Ferry is made with the porpose of transporting people, cargo and vehicles between different places and usually dont have as much luxury and accomodations like a cruise ship, tho for long distance ferries they start having some of both (given that the trip is longer). i could go in for more detail but i think this simple way of explaining each one is good enough to understand.
It was a hair drug test I assume. it can test back for years depending on the length of your hair, since they go into your hair like they go into your urine.
"These ships all disgust me." My thoughts exactly. Cruise lines like this are for people who want to travel, but don't want to experience any culture. "Sure, I've been to Haiti." Yeah, you waved to Port-au-Prince from your window wrapped in 1800 thread count sheets, sipping champagne in bed, probably complaining the room is too chilly because the central air is turned too low. 🤢🤮
Honestly one of the best videos the internet historian ever made. With the pandemic, safety concerns in general (not just this accident but people within the marine/shipping industry overall from what I seen and heard are not fans of these giant cruise ships as from their experience they way they are built are not 100% safe), and the way people take holiday are slowly changing, I think cruises may become a thing of the past or at the very least not nearly as popular as they once were. The health and other concerns have been putting people off for years. I went on a few cruises as a kid but my parents were put off as I got older from what has been going on.
This guy watched a video and, while some reactions/remarks are for show, he's having a deep introspection why his ancestors left Europe for America. :-))
The Costa concordia was owned by carnival. They are definitely a mixed bag on it's reputation. Sometimes I heard it's the waffle house of the seas. Other says it's the party line. Honestly not sure which is true lol
Strange to say, but this is probably now one of the few places now where one can catch the original version of Internet Historian’s video without the sledgehammer mark UA-cam’s copy write policy left on his video. At least for now. >.>;; Godspeed.
The big question I have about the collision, why at no point leading up to the collision did the captain tell them to slow down? If the ship had been going slower, surely they would have had more time to dodge the rocks, right?
Because it would be easier to stop in a few meters a train going at 300 km/h running on ice than a boat bigger than titanic going on water at 16 knots in just a few hundreds of meters. There just wasn’t enough time and/or space to slow down it of any sensible amount.
Well I think they probably did try to slow down. But there's no point in IH specifically saying "the captain told the crew to slow down" because of course he told them lmao
Fact I didn't know before this video: "The captain goes down with the ship" isn't just some old saying; it's actually _illegal_ for a captain to abandon the ship while there's still people onboard, because they are responsible for their lives. Anyway, what makes this all the more sad is that it was all pretty much caused by bad communication and if Schettino had just done his job properly after the crash - like not trying to lie about it or abandoning ship while there were still passengers onboard - he wouldn't have been crucified for the incident nor remembered as such a massive shithead.
Bro I have that same mic stand, glad I’m not the only one who decided to get the cheapest option lmao. Seriously it’s a solid choice for 13 dollars

"wait hold on" "hold on" "please hold on" "please stop" ..does his video is have unstoppable force or something? or somebody just took the spacebar key and mouse away from him?
largest cruise ship disaster since the Titanic. Well yes and no technically not a cruise ship but a cruiseferry MS Estonia sank on her voyage from Tallinn, Estonia to Stockholm, Sweden when it sank and 852 people died.
If you want another reason not to go on cruise ships, look up the Casual Criminalist episode on Amy Lynn Bradley, or just her story in general. Short version; young American woman disappeared under mysterious circumstances but the captain and cruise line did everything they could to avoid having to do anything about it before lawyering up, partially because a member of the ship band was a bit sketchy and might have been involved in whatever happened.
The irony is this cruise ship company connects to the Titanic: Costa made the Concordia and was purchased by Carnival, which purchased Cunard, which purchased the White Star Line, the company that made the Titanic.

Seen way too many ocean horror movies about sea monsters and aliens and mutants, don't need a real horror experience like a cruise-gone-wrong thank you. Bet if I took an online quiz about "Would You Survive A Sinking Ship" my results would be 'Most Likely To Be Eaten By Tiger Shark'.
I'm with ya man. No cruise ships for me. Why the hell would I want to be packed into a floating tin can where disease can rapidly tear through the ship's population with nowhere to go?
I agree. I don't want a cruise ship. What I do want, however, is an ocean liner. Give me a good ol' fashioned steamship that is even more jam-packed where disease will spread faster than fire with gasoline.
@@dwarvenmoray Nah, what you need is a submarine so there's really nowhere to go.
@@twohorsesinamancostume7606 Hell yeah!
I see no reason to reject this recommendation
Dude's constantly yelling "wait" in the video like, dude, just pause the video.
YES! This is so mind-boggling!
But then you get people complaining about him pausing so pick your poison
@@Steel_Bison Well I would have found it less irritating than what we got in the end
I thought he was kind of like talking to the people in the video and not like wait pause the video
I got the feeling he wasn't asking it to slow down, he was more in utter disbelief at the fuckery going on.
So far, the best reaction i have ever seen of whatever video, this guy is amazing
Lol you can see how much he's grown just by watching his internet historian shows. He's really loosenes up more with each new video
More Internet Historian would be great, he loves to retell events and stories that either happened in the recent couple of decades or involved the Internet to varying degrees. He's covered things from failed game launches like Fallout 76 and No Man's Sky, to the Coronavirus, to Fyre Festival, to 4-chan, etc. and mixes in lots of memes to try and lighten the story a bit.
Now I just want Internet Historian to do a video on the Titanic, he could do it.
Amazing insights about the vid, thoroughly enjoyed watching it again.
More internet historian reactions please. Almost every of his videos is great!
The real basic reason for the crew being so bad is qualification wise you just need experience on a ship not experience at driving one. You accomplish a course to operate a boat then apply for a job operating 1
Great vid and content mate💯 your energy has inspired me to travel out there to Chicago👌 from London, UK here🇬🇧
I've only been on one cruise. Carnival cruise ship Celebration. Week long cruise that stopped in Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. Fun trip, nice stops. Ship's cabins were small for our family of 4. But restaurants were great as you could get as much as you want as it's all covered by your ticket. They had a kids program for me and my sister that had fun activities. Had a nice arcade. Pools were crowded, had best pool time in the empty kids pool at the very back of the ship. Every night room service would clean the rooms and give us new towels that were folded into shapes of different animals. So that was a nice touch. Crew were all very courteous and professional from what I saw. Never had any worries or emergencies. Parents went on an Alaskan cruise a few years ago and reported similarly. All in all I'd love to do one again. I mean if the choice was airplane or cruise ship and I had to judge on safety... it'd be cruise ship. Lot more plane crashes than cruise ship disasters. Of course I'd also like if luxury zeppelins made a come back...
@twizzm same
Love the video and was longing for some solid commentary with it, thank you very much. I dont like cruise lines either honestly, they're so wasteful and terrible for the environment people dont know
41:25 Why? Because he's only dangerous if he's driving a boat. Keep him off a boat and he's fine.
I think the MS Estonia was actually the worst ship disaster since the Titanic
Technically, Estonia was a ferry, not a cruise ship. But then again, the Titanic was an ocean liner. But I don't know enough about ships to be able to tell the difference.
@@XonWechtvt So apparently the difference is that ocean liner is meant for speed? Like more of a transport than a leisure ride.
@@XonWechtvt That's why I said ship disaster
@@XonWechtvt Ocean Liner were made for crossing the ocean for transportation (before airplanes). The faster the best, tho obviously the higher classes still had great luxury. Currently there is only 1 ocean liner still in use which is Queen Mary 2 operated by Cunard (they have 2 other ships but those are classified as cruise liners).
Cruise Ship is made with the porpose for leisure. Basically they work like a resort where you can either spend some time there (like in cruises that have no stops) or you use it as a moving hotel so you can visit multiple cities without worrying about moving your stuff because the hotel moves with you (like on cruises that have multiple stops on its itinerary).
Ferry is made with the porpose of transporting people, cargo and vehicles between different places and usually dont have as much luxury and accomodations like a cruise ship, tho for long distance ferries they start having some of both (given that the trip is longer).
i could go in for more detail but i think this simple way of explaining each one is good enough to understand.
Wrong, Wilhelm Gustloff was, with almost 9,000 deaths.
This was an awesome reaction!
love ur reactions :D
It was a hair drug test I assume. it can test back for years depending on the length of your hair, since they go into your hair like they go into your urine.
Yes he specifically said it was a "hair sample" lol but thanks
Don’t know why this was on my recommendation feed today but I’m ok with it.
"These ships all disgust me."
My thoughts exactly. Cruise lines like this are for people who want to travel, but don't want to experience any culture. "Sure, I've been to Haiti." Yeah, you waved to Port-au-Prince from your window wrapped in 1800 thread count sheets, sipping champagne in bed, probably complaining the room is too chilly because the central air is turned too low. 🤢🤮
Why the fuck would you want to go to Haiti?
The cause of the accident: hubris and complacency.
Wtf is this reaction, This is *PERFECT!* , Maybe tag along some friends when reacting to IH's videos..*wink
Instantly like video when he was like, "this, this is why i dont go on cruise ships"
You said one thing and i instantly subbed😁
Honestly one of the best videos the internet historian ever made. With the pandemic, safety concerns in general (not just this accident but people within the marine/shipping industry overall from what I seen and heard are not fans of these giant cruise ships as from their experience they way they are built are not 100% safe), and the way people take holiday are slowly changing, I think cruises may become a thing of the past or at the very least not nearly as popular as they once were. The health and other concerns have been putting people off for years. I went on a few cruises as a kid but my parents were put off as I got older from what has been going on.
Really enjoyed this blokes reaction :D Keen to see more
This guy watched a video and, while some reactions/remarks are for show, he's having a deep introspection why his ancestors left Europe for America. :-))
What?
I got an ad for a carnival cruise on this video. Yikes
Video of dude repeating "wait", "stop" and "yeah" for 40 minutes
Right? At first when he said "wait, stop" I thought he meant "pause the video, I have some insights." But no, he just kept saying it over and over.
Is no one noticing how hard he’s asking them to pause the video?
A carnival cruise ad played...ironic...
The Costa concordia was owned by carnival. They are definitely a mixed bag on it's reputation. Sometimes I heard it's the waffle house of the seas. Other says it's the party line. Honestly not sure which is true lol
Strange to say, but this is probably now one of the few places now where one can catch the original version of Internet Historian’s video without the sledgehammer mark UA-cam’s copy write policy left on his video.
At least for now. >.>;;
Godspeed.
The QA is out now and is quite informative and answers a lot of questions
Even before the pandemic cruise liner didn't sound very good for your health.
What is the point of cruise ships anyway? "Do you want to sink in the ocean with 3000 people but like 20 lifeboats? Boy do I have a place for you..."
The ships are like gaudy billionaire homes lol- expensive and ugly, but it's not actually ugly because it's expensive.
Can't wait for him to react to the extras of the Costa Concordia
any chance of watching Gentleman Pirate ?? :D really good video :) (from internet historian ofc)
Cruise lines are a good way to get money back out of rich people while giving them a reason to spend.
Bring the money back into circulation.
The big question I have about the collision, why at no point leading up to the collision did the captain tell them to slow down? If the ship had been going slower, surely they would have had more time to dodge the rocks, right?
ship are massive it takes alot of time to slow down or speeding up a ship. This happen in a few minutes.
Because it would be easier to stop in a few meters a train going at 300 km/h running on ice than a boat bigger than titanic going on water at 16 knots in just a few hundreds of meters. There just wasn’t enough time and/or space to slow down it of any sensible amount.
Well I think they probably did try to slow down. But there's no point in IH specifically saying "the captain told the crew to slow down" because of course he told them lmao
Fact I didn't know before this video: "The captain goes down with the ship" isn't just some old saying; it's actually _illegal_ for a captain to abandon the ship while there's still people onboard, because they are responsible for their lives.
Anyway, what makes this all the more sad is that it was all pretty much caused by bad communication and if Schettino had just done his job properly after the crash - like not trying to lie about it or abandoning ship while there were still passengers onboard - he wouldn't have been crucified for the incident nor remembered as such a massive shithead.
They are actually required to check those watertight doors every single week
Also why the hell would you lie to the harbourmaster
Cruise ships are essentially giant petri dishes on water.
Bro I have that same mic stand, glad I’m not the only one who decided to get the cheapest option lmao. Seriously it’s a solid choice for 13 dollars
I love this reaction because it’s the same feeling as I felt: “fuck the ship, fuck the damages, fuck the money… 33 people died…” it’s unforgivable…a life has no price tag… you have 33 unfixable, intangible, priceless things… no money can buy… so fking stupid 😠
React to the varus strikes back by Internet historian
IH is the only dude that has ever sold me on a product. He makes what commercials should be.
34:35 welcome to the good old Italian corruption.
I still can't figure out why this video has so much Halo music, but I'm all for it.
Loved this video, you got a sub. Please react to more of his videos, namely The Engoodening of No Man's Sky and his Fallout 76 video.
THIS GUY'S GREAT
we need some more SsethTzeentach reactions
okay HARD agree abt cruise ships. i wont touch the damn things. they do NOT look steady.
You should react to more Internet Historian!
"wait hold on" "hold on" "please hold on" "please stop"
..does his video is have unstoppable force or something? or somebody just took the spacebar key and mouse away from him?
Him saying "wait" feels like he wants to explain something but don't want to pause and its incredibly infuriating
Good reactor really tells it how it is
largest cruise ship disaster since the Titanic. Well yes and no technically not a cruise ship but a cruiseferry MS Estonia sank on her voyage from Tallinn, Estonia to Stockholm, Sweden when it sank and 852 people died.
After seeing him with his beard and everything over the past year or so it fucking shocked me seeing him shaven, he almost looks like Nicholas Cage
the payday 2 music is a nice touch during the "action" scene of before the crash
Stealth Failed , restarting in 3 2 1
i love that he didnt pause the video when shit was going down.
I don't think he could've.
In the newer videos, he has a keyboard and he can stop it.
If you want another reason not to go on cruise ships, look up the Casual Criminalist episode on Amy Lynn Bradley, or just her story in general.
Short version; young American woman disappeared under mysterious circumstances but the captain and cruise line did everything they could to avoid having to do anything about it before lawyering up, partially because a member of the ship band was a bit sketchy and might have been involved in whatever happened.
Man, imagine the absolute scale of bollocking the captain got. Fly on the wall for that...
the words "you moronic jizztrumpet" do not have never been more apt
Moral of the story: Fuck cruises! I can see the ocean on UA-cam!
