yep, 25 augustus 1984 was dat, een dag om nooit te vergeten! ik was passagier op de Olau Britannia die dag, en dat was zeer heftig, vooral de knal tegen de Mont Louis en de ravage en paniek daarna aan boord.
Na 5 uur in onzekerheid wachten trokken de sleepboten Seahorse en Fighter de Mont Louis los van de Britannia (die 7 meter in de Mont Louis geboord was). In minder dan 5 minuten kapseisde de Mont Louis en zonk meteen.
Wij wisten pas na aankomst in Sheerness dat de Mont Louis zeer giftig radioactief Uranium hexafluoride vervoerde.
Iedereen werd gecheckt met een geigerteller, maar gelukkig geen besmetting.
All the old films are great but give me a serious jolt at all the lack of health and safety. Smoking on deck to name just one. No PFDs, hard hats, safty clothing, gloves, goggles. The sling methods and use of explosives with a hazmat cargo!!!! and so many more.
Feel free to add to my list and lets see how many we can find🤣
20:46 just when I thought this couldn't get any better, the thermic lance comes out. Great upload, thanks!
Awesome video - Thanks for sharing!
Amazing film .... very interesting.
Excellent!
Worried about dropping a tank on the pontoon but explosives and a chain ripping it apart is fine. Also a ship that has a hull that is strengthened for ice got taken out by a ferry.
Don’t think the ferry was made from ice
@@simoncoe7872 Point being seemed very fragile for a ship strengthened for ice breaking that normally crushes standard ships.
An osha safety man has a heart attack every play of this video lmao And I don’t mean they are unprofessional by any means I’m saying regulations have changed these guys are the best in the world at what they do
this channel is the best
And the shipwreck remained and lived forever and ever - chuckle. It seems like a natural that the salvers would stay the course and remove the ship ... which I am sure they did but got no mention in the upload.
most of it was left where it was.
ever tried to recover a wreck that is half buried in sand an broken in parts? not a very easy job
@@Seygem Yup, Environmentally it would have likely done more damage removing it than leaving it there
Back then lights suck now days at night they light it up bright as day time
Perhaps painting the loaded (dangerous) containers BRIGHT YELLOW would have been the better idea, instead of a dull gray.
Whats next? A camouflage fire exit? A stealth lifejacket?
Under cover elephants
Dear@@alexveldhuis6004
Do you know why elephants have red eyes? Because of that hiding in a cherry tree is simply better.. Have you ever seen an elephant in/on a cherry tree? No? So you can see how good they are able to hide with their red eyes.
;-) ;-)
Best regards.
Dear Sir S Spec
Yes, absolutely right, Sir. This wasn't neither clever nor smart at all.
Best regards.
@@Chr.U.Cas2216 No, the joke is : Why do elephants paint their balls red? So they can hide in cherry trees. This can then be followed by; What is the loudest noise in the jungle? Giraffe eating cherries. Cheers.
@@alexveldhuis6004Hihihi, Good grief, I can almost hear the roar and trumpeting of the poor hidden elephants. By the way: It would have been much nicer if you had written: Here's another elephant joke, instead of "No, the joke is:" But no matter at all: Yours is a great joke too and I will store it in my joke compartment! Indeed with a slight change that I hope you will allow me. Because there are no giraffes in the jungle, i will replace it with apes (chimpanzees for example).
Have a mice day.
Postscriptum. A. von Humboldt must have thought/wondered many years ago: Hmm... very big cherries are growing in this jungle. And always as a pair. ;-)
I don't get it. Protective suits and gas masks when hoisting the empty containers. Then the hoisting of the filled containers started and that was done without protection....strange....
Hindsight is great, but I am not sure if cutting a huge weak spot into a good hull was a good plan.
Well was there any different approach even possible? How would they have gotten to these dangerous uranium hexafluoride containers otherwise?
not damaged mate, just get on with it, no trepidation, idiot
hurry up , spastics
wow I'd hate to see u go half speed , if that's full speed, no danger , u talk to much crap,, narration
ice class built,, ha, then why did it tear in half? duh
Who was watching the Radar on both ships????
+robin hood Nobody.....

Very bored,very sleepy watch standers.

the same person,but was on vacations.
According to captain Phillips, you can see small craft on radar five miles away, that's more than enough distance to be able to take evasive action.
Nuclear advisors walking around in Hazmat gear! Salvors walking around in regular gear.
It was one big circus to show to the world how concerned the politicians were. As a helicopter pilot I had to bring teams in fully protected gear on bord of the Mont Louis, so that it could be filmed by TV. A bit farther out of camera sight Smith tack workers were already preparing the salvages in normal clothes.
it's amasing
that canister popped up like a cork in a bathtub
If they were worried about the divers why did the first guy jump in with a band Mask ? ??
So - they just left the vessel to deteriorate where it was run aground? I think not!
Seriously I'm laughing out loud. On deck they wear suits to prevent any risks from contamination, while inside the casualty they wear tight, even white shorts 😂😂. On deck, just roll a sigaret with dirty polluted fingers and smoke it till the end. The Dutch could be perfect for tobacco commercials, I've never seen so many smoking people on such a dangerous situation. Watch more Dutch salvation films and you will see what I mean 😂😂
So funny compared to the safety culture we have now. The whole smoking thing reminds me when my parents chain smoked while driving in the family station wagon with all the windows rolled up & at least 3 kids thrown in the back without any safety measures. Plus, my Dad went everywhere with a flask so I’m sure he was juiced up while driving
These are MEN not pussies !
Years before health and safety was born
Safety equipment? Whats that?
Great to see the old salvage teams in action, does anyone know the outcome for the blame. Which ship was at fault ?
The French? I've no evidence, only using history as a guide. :-D I've since checked it out The French Vessel Mont Louis cut in front of the Ola Britannica causing the collision. Which just goes to show, my gut instinct was correct:-DD
And everyone went to a bar for a pancake and a schmoke
Q
Why didnt they just salvage the whole thing all at once when they had the chance!?
They were likely hired by the insurer of that portion of the cargo. The ship and the rest of the cargo wasn't their job.
Also its possible the cargo was toxic to the point recovering it was by far the most important....
Why even have radar?’🤦🏻♂️
Quando ci si affida solo al pilota automatico?? 😂
Quand meme étonnant que les belges et francais soit si méticuleux quand on sait qu en 1986 le nuage radioactif de tchernobyl passait au dessus de leur tete et on fait croire qu il était sans danger.
not one with a life jacket
Not a life jacket or hard hat in sight. H&S has just popped a poo.
All hand on deck to seal leaking radiation . In Summer beach wear . How many bit crook now
Good ole' Greenpeace, getting in the way as usual. Useless so and so's.
Okay
Come on a fender bender
The containers couldn’t sustain serious accident.
One was leaking at a valve.
Utter joke.
Why did they collide anyway. Radar anyone ?
At the end moving radioactive containers high in the air using a crane althoughout the port.
Totally nuts
This has got to be the stupidest salvage operations in history. Push the ship to a sand bar and split. Uh how about get it to the sand bar and wait until the salvors get there. Then maybe a coffer damn could have been welded around the hole to keep it from sinking.
Ooops!!
5:16 no safety glasses..............derp........................
L mop loop koop
Nnnopo
1984 and someone still narrates with thet ridiculous eccent.
Thet eccent.. very silly.
