Many people don't understand the physics involved in stopping a train or ship/boat... Love this format and the voice over giving a better idea of the situation.
Really? All you need is a force, in your first example, brakes, in your second a drag device or to reverse the direction of the props, or physically direct the normal thrust forward, in the case of an azipod arrangement or a jet drive thrust reverser. Just remove the driving force and they will all stop eventually, as well. Do you really think a lot of people don't understand that? If they don't, I would prefer not to be driving on the same roads with them. And are you implying that these boat captains didn't understand that, so they were using the bridge and the wind turbine to try to stop their forward movement? :-/ :-) Now if you meant running the numbers, probably not. Yeah, mostly just being a smart ass, but your comment struck me as funny, so I ran with it. My filter is weak today. I didn't "Use the farce, Luke". Oh, and don't bother, I've been told before to refrain, and that didn't work either.
WOW! Negligence reigns supreme in this collection. If that were my boat, the one that got scraped under the bridge, I'd be lookin' for some new crew members. I don't even know who the owner is and I was still gettin' steamed about it heh, heh. Terrific compilation eSysman team!
It could have been the owner yelling at the Captain, "I don't care what the tide level is, put to sea now or I'll see to it that you'll never be a Captain anywhere ever again."
The barge I hit the windmill. The first camera just looked like it was a basic bump. But that second camera that showed the crew go flying. I was jolly impressive.
@@woodennecktie Dude, you do not get it. The windmill jumped in front of the ship. That argument (sign, car) was actually how my mother explained an accident to her insurance ;)
How do these Captains even get a license? Hitting a wind turbine in open ocean is like a car Hitting one in the middle of a field 😳. Its scary to think people like this are in control of anything this big, let alone even a small fishing boat.
Wow, didn't look that bad hitting the wind turbine until you see the inside view. I'd say the First Officer is looking for new employment elsewhere now
One of the first things you learn is to never approach anything faster than you are willing to hit it. I'm betting that the crane operator's life was lost in that last shot. So sad.
Yes, if they can swim they MIGHT make it, but in heavy construction outfit, boots... I dunno, man, I played water polo in college but I know I can't float well with heavy clothes.
That incident took place in August 2021 and somehow there were no injuries or fatalities - there were reports that someone was seen fleeing the area a little before so my guess is the crane operator spotted the ship was off course and too fast and got the hell out of there before he became fish food.
@@CoffeeAndPaul Actually, clothes make no difference at all. When you are in the water they weigh no more than they do on land. In cold waters if there are no survival suits available the first thing you do is put on a few more layers if the boat is going dow.
They felt that the next morning, getting tossed against ship fittings like that hurts. Imagine below decks the unaware sailor suddenly going ballistic and slamming into things. SURPRISE! The cook tossed the French fries on himself and the machinist in the engine room boinked around. That's a hard hit.
@@darrellcook8253 it was a hard hit, you could see the hull getting deformed in the overview camera, but your distance from the roll center of impact motion will determine how high you're flying and how hard you'll be impacting your surroundings, if the galley happened to be near the center of that motion, then it might be possible that no hot oil even got spilled, those 2 clowns on the bridge were pretty high up, so the rocking motion flung them around quite violently
Hitting the wind turbine was unforgivable. The OOW not paying attention when in close proximity to such an object and the look-out, not looking out either, resulted in them flying through the air with the greatest of ease. Rule 5 applies. The crane in the last incident had lights on and might have been manned. Hope he was a cat with a life left coz he was going to need it. As for the bridge and the Italian, I expected to hear "Scusi, preggo. Nessun problema", then more speed and just pop out the other end.
It's surprisingly common even with sailing yachs not to mention on the roads. To some extent I could understand it's harder with tides to consider than on the road.
@@hurri7720 Very easy to resolve with sailing yachts. Get big bags of sand, I mean big, and put one on the end of each boom and one suspended from the halyard to each mast. Hoist the bags by halyards to be able to clear guard rails and keep clear of the water. Swing out the booms and use these to control the heel angle. Let the mast bags hang out where they hang. Should be able to reduce the mast height by 30-50% . It looks really impressive and highly professional, coz it is. You have to carry a huge amount of "weather" helm to keep her straight.
1:14 • It's rare that you get to see a firefighter doing his job while sitting down. 2:17 • The Officer of the Watch really got flung about like in a high budget movie. Impressive.
Firefighters spend most of their time doing nothing. They even get paid to sleep on the job at night when not having any calls. Do your research and you’ll find it’s actually one of the safest and cushiest jobs ever. TV sows and Media along with movies like Backdraft have created a totally an overrated and hyped up image of their job.
If you are hosing down for hours, why would you stand up the whole time. It wasn't a high pressure stream. Plus if it was water cannon, it has a wheel to turn to do a sweeping motion.
That clip should be shown as training to terminal operators as to why you never have anyone up a crane during vessel mooring ops. If things go wrong gravity acts pretty quick and you don’t have time to get out. Plenty of clips around showing similar incidents unfortunately
Ships are much longer than they are high. Video them in landscape mode. It is very easy: just turn your phone through 90 degrees and hold it like a camera.
Oh Dear Me. 😱😢😰 Don't know where to begin. What a shame, all of this. Too bad about that crane! It was just an innocent bystander waiting to do it's job. Looked like a magnificent piece of equipment.
The 11'8" bridge channel has been pretty dead since they raised the bridge 8 inches, so I guess I'll settle for watching super yachts hit bridges instead of Ryder trucks and RVs, but I do miss a good can opener video from time to time.
Vessels on autopilot have a penchant for steering themselves at large fixed objects. Sailing across Biscay we had to change course to avoid a weather buoy miles from anywhere. So if you are lost at sea just leave the vessel on autopilot in a random direction and you will shortly be heading towards something recognizable.
I'm impressed by the foundation of the wind turbine. The way the crew went flying shows the severity of the impact. I wonder of that bridge officer has found a job yet...
@@bikersoncall Man, are you people STILL on board with Captain Coup? The guy tried to end America. But, yeah, Biden stutters, so he’s worse than the guy who tried to be the last president ever. 🤦♂️
About the bridge scrape, Heck, they might as well have kept going, they were halfway through at the worst scraping. 0:30 you hear what can only bee described as an orchestra of scraping!! 😬
High and low tides are given at 30" mercury or 1020 millibars. Check your barometer. Yesterday in Puget sound tide hit new record high plus 2-3' at 29" of mercury.
Geez, that impact with the wind turbine, shown from inside, is MASSIVE. What I really want to know is if this captain will ever pilot a boat or ship again after this. Is there a reporting system to potential future employers? It is a good thing they design those turbine supports for wind bending/twisting loading large enough to withstand that hit or it could have been a LOT worse. How in the heck did he not see that they were headed directly for that thing MILES before they hit it??? I mean seriously, if you look up within miles of that turbine, heading directly toward it (not moving across the windscreen and centered on your path) you TURN the vessel! If it was a very thick fog or some other weather that obscured the thing until the last couple of seconds, maybe, but WTH? Do these guys not understand that job one is safety, and hitting large immovable objects at high speed ISN'T safe? Also, are these turbines and such not marked on navigational maps, and do the autopilots not have access to those maps so that when you input a course that passes THROUGH such an object it says something like, "There's a HUGE object in your path, idiot, and the course will be modified to pass around that object" (kidding mostly, about the tone) and then do it, automatically? It would not be difficult to have a computer in that loop, all it would require is a communication link between a stock, everyday PC and the autopilot on some standard, ubiquitous PC available link, say USB. Those inputs are practically unlimited, 127 connections per USB controller IIRC. I find it hard to believe that systems like that are not available. The computer needs NOTHING special, except a bit of software coded to the task, and that software would be minimal. The autopilot needs a communications port designed into the electronics. I can understand why a ski boat doesn't have such a system, but additional cost to put one on a boat this size, considering the cost to build it, is pretty much invisible. Hell, the insurance companies would probably give a break on the insurance that would cover it in a short time, just like they do on the roofs of houses that have systems installed (high performance hurricane wind resistant underlayment). I know, because I have that written in on my insurance. Every time I see something like this my brain screams WTF? It's the 21st century, folks, this stuff is EASY, and it should be inexpensive, and REQUIRED by applicable law. Accidents like this are TOTALLY unavoidable, even if the captain is totally blind. Autopiloting a ship into a dock or through treacherous waters would be, too, although that would require much more regular updates for shifting sandbars, new construction, and the like, and specific characterization for each ship type's handling and configuration....again, say WiFi, at the ports for map updates. I mean, GOOD GRIEF. This crap isn't rocket surgery.
Does e sysman superyachts know you are using his videos to make your content? Just respectfully wondering. He has a very distinctive voice, and it sure sounds like the voice in your videos.
Thanks for your concern but we are one and the same. If you look at the subscribe button at the start of the videos you will see it says '3 Minutes of Maritime with eSysman'
That ship should have had a collision warning horn long before it hit the wind turbine. The officer on watch should have insured it was properly set before he looked anywhere else.
Wind Turbine - 1 Ship - 0 Those guys took one hell of a ride. Captain going under the bridge - regardless of paperwork, there's no captain on the bridge.
Don't be hasty to judge the crew on IDOL. I read that the yacht had gone up the canal to have work done at a shipyard upstream and was returning back downstream. The yacht was under tow by a local tug company, and they will have been engaged to make the arrangements, plan low tide etc. In fact the yacht may still have been under the responsibility of the shipyard at this time, prior to re-delivery at the seaport downstream. In other words local contractors have been engaged to transfer the vessel back down to a saltwater port, prior to handing over to the captain & crew, and they will have been engaged for the duration of the movement. Yes there are calculations made to prevent this kind of thing, but human error does have a habit of creeping in especially when the margins are tight. Two possible explanations occur to me, and there are plenty of others... 1: all calculations properly done for the upstream transit, but somebody failed to properly calculate loading condition on the downstream transit, hence a. different air draught. 2: Heavy rains on the upstream transit, or maybe onshore winds on the downstream transit. Both would have introduced increased salinity and therefore buoyancy going downstream
Unreal, all that water in the ocean and that guy hits a light pole. Nothing out there but one pole, and this guy hits it... (I know, it wasn't a light pole, but the point is...)
I once saw a picture of an old airplane stuck in the only tree around for several miles around. Just that one solitary tree and that's where the pilot landed. How is that?
@@darrellcook8253 We see it here in Nebraska as well...all kinds of nothing and a car will veer off the road and hit the only tree for 10 miles lol! Its crazy but true!
Were the phones checked on the wind turbine hit? They were obviously looking at something more exciting than staring out of a window at where they were going.
is it really a low bridge or more a case of high tide. bridge never changes, water hight does. why couldnt they put more ballast in the boat and go under
Man, that windmill was a major cluster! I want to see the footage from when the Captain get's up to the wheel house. There's no way that that tower wasn't on the chart. This is why you always lay out a track line and follow it. It takes two seconds to put down a track line, check it for hazards, and steer it.
It SHOULD be checked by a computer in the autopilot loop, they virtually never make mistakes, once those systems have been run and tweaked for a lot of runtime hours. It would be cake to design an autopilot with that capability, especially since I would guess there is already a computer in the loop. If not, there damn sure should be. Just one dumb USB interface is required to talk to the autopilot, if not. You could also incorporate the radar interface and have a check and correct on unmarked or moving obstacles, as well. Put communications between ships into the loop, and for those so equipped you could have a comprehensive dynamic 'human not necessary' (other than as final call and additional 'eyes on') collision avoidance package which would preclude miscommunications between the ships, as well. It is standard on commercial aircraft and has saved many lives there, already.
And account for drift: wind and tide. For which you must be alert to keep the course plotted and the ship on course. Until you're alongside the dock and the lines are thrown, nothing is guaranteed. Even then, check the seacocks.
That pontoon crane operator will NEVER be the same ... providing he wasn't killed in the accident. That is a fall from hell. WOW !!! Super expensive f**k up !!!
Its weird how the height above the waterline almost never is mentioned in yachting. As someone that lives in an archipelago with bridges, it would be nice to know. Width, lenght, depth... why not height?
The vertical clearance would vary with tide, but sure, at least a range marked on the bridge, like they do quite frequently on low road bridges where larger trucks might be travelling. The captain would also need to know the height, with loading range, for the vessel, but that could easily be determined, even through direct measurement. Even better, a TV camera and computer system on the bridge or a shore tower or building could measure the height of the boat to give a red light/green go/no go light indication on the bridge. Or a low power short pulsed eye safe laser that shines to sensors across the entry to accurately measure the boat for the necessary clearance with go/no go signal. If the sensor stops reading at any point, the boat is too tall. This one I don't know enough about, but someone that does could say yeah, or dumb idea. It could be done many other ways, as well.

Autopiloting a ship into a dock or through treacherous waters would be, too, although that would require much more regular updates for shifting sandbars, new construction, and the like, and specific characterization for each ship type's handling and configuration....again, say WiFi, at the ports for map updates. I mean, GOOD GRIEF. This crap isn't rocket surgery.
2:05 And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't drive or pilot while looking at your cell phone.
Did the crane operator survive?????
I don't think there was anyone in there at the time. At least, no one I could see watching it over and over and on slow speed. 🤞
Slow like a pro, fast like an ass. Is more appropriate than ever 😂
Title @ 1:55 to 2:20.
Thats A REAL Oh F^*k moment @ 2:35 that'll set you back some serious coin.
Does e sysman superyachts know you are using his videos to make your content? Just respectfully wondering. He has a very distinctive voice, and it sure sounds like the voice in your videos.
Thanks for your concern but we are one and the same. If you look at the subscribe button at the start of the videos you will see it says '3 Minutes of Maritime with eSysman'
That ship should have had a collision warning horn long before it hit the wind turbine. The officer on watch should have insured it was properly set before he looked anywhere else.
One passenger on the burning vessel was a Caveman. He said in an interview, "Fire Hot!."
Idol the perfect name for that boat because the boat and the skipper will both be idol for a long time!🤣🛫
Wind Turbine - 1 Ship - 0
Those guys took one hell of a ride.
Captain going under the bridge - regardless of paperwork, there's no captain on the bridge.
on one hand you hear they are build/engineered to withstand a ship crash and you go 🙄and then you see this vid
People be like: When can we finally get flying cars?
Never. You're never getting flying cars!
Stay off of all boats in Thailand. Even the Royal Navy can not stay afloat!
2:10
HeHeHe ... he became airborne after impact ... what a twerp.
Don't be hasty to judge the crew on IDOL. I read that the yacht had gone up the canal to have work done at a shipyard upstream and was returning back downstream.
The yacht was under tow by a local tug company, and they will have been engaged to make the arrangements, plan low tide etc.
In fact the yacht may still have been under the responsibility of the shipyard at this time, prior to re-delivery at the seaport downstream.
In other words local contractors have been engaged to transfer the vessel back down to a saltwater port, prior to handing over to the captain & crew, and they will have been engaged for the duration of the movement.
Yes there are calculations made to prevent this kind of thing, but human error does have a habit of creeping in especially when the margins are tight.
Two possible explanations occur to me, and there are plenty of others...
1: all calculations properly done for the upstream transit, but somebody failed to properly calculate loading condition on the downstream transit, hence a. different air draught.
2: Heavy rains on the upstream transit, or maybe onshore winds on the downstream transit. Both would have introduced increased salinity and therefore buoyancy going downstream
one moment you are chilling, smoking a fatty in that warm crew cab of the crane; out of nowhere you are sinking :D
Unreal, all that water in the ocean and that guy hits a light pole. Nothing out there but one pole, and this guy hits it...
(I know, it wasn't a light pole, but the point is...)
I once saw a picture of an old airplane stuck in the only tree around for several miles around. Just that one solitary tree and that's where the pilot landed.
How is that?
@@darrellcook8253 We see it here in Nebraska as well...all kinds of nothing and a car will veer off the road and hit the only tree for 10 miles lol! Its crazy but true!
Target fixation, perhaps?
Wow that crane went down fast
Were the phones checked on the wind turbine hit? They were obviously looking at something more exciting than staring out of a window at where they were going.
Fun!
This happens every time I take my super-yacht out for a cruise.
That boat on fire has a capacity of 490 plus 29 crew 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. It wouldn’t have capacity for even 10% of that number it’s not a carnival cruise
And the tourist boat in Phuket is now named “Sea Angel Beyond Repair”.
is it really a low bridge or more a case of high tide. bridge never changes, water hight does. why couldnt they put more ballast in the boat and go under
Am assuming the cargo ship "knocking" the massive crane into the water, had quite the insurance settlement to pay out for a "replacement"?1 🤔🤣
I don't know what that last boat was but I want it to be the donor vessel for my new ICON yacht.
01:34 I guess it's easy to figure out who to blame.
02:33 Ship happens
WOW!
Top award 😂😂😂
This could be a protest to save the gulls!
Knocking over that crane was epic.
First one, under the bridge. Captain forgot the old truckers' trick - let the air out of the tires.
@0:34 Every sound is dollar signs! So painful! 😢
Man, that windmill was a major cluster! I want to see the footage from when the Captain get's up to the wheel house.
There's no way that that tower wasn't on the chart. This is why you always lay out a track line and follow it. It takes two seconds to put down a track line, check it for hazards, and steer it.
Gotta wonder, W I T H were they paying that guy to do...
It SHOULD be checked by a computer in the autopilot loop, they virtually never make mistakes, once those systems have been run and tweaked for a lot of runtime hours. It would be cake to design an autopilot with that capability, especially since I would guess there is already a computer in the loop. If not, there damn sure should be. Just one dumb USB interface is required to talk to the autopilot, if not. You could also incorporate the radar interface and have a check and correct on unmarked or moving obstacles, as well.
Put communications between ships into the loop, and for those so equipped you could have a comprehensive dynamic 'human not necessary' (other than as final call and additional 'eyes on') collision avoidance package which would preclude miscommunications between the ships, as well. It is standard on commercial aircraft and has saved many lives there, already.
And account for drift: wind and tide. For which you must be alert to keep the course plotted and the ship on course. Until you're alongside the dock and the lines are thrown, nothing is guaranteed. Even then, check the seacocks.
Unbelievable these days with technology that these things happen.
Did anyone not make it out on that last one?
I sure hope that no-one was in the crane when it went down.
It was reportedly vacant.
Was there anyone in that crane that went under water, the lights were on in the windows.
Hell - if I was captain of a multi-multi-million dollar yacht I'd check a low bridge clearance at least half a dozen times...
That pontoon crane operator will NEVER be the same ... providing he wasn't killed in the accident. That is a fall from hell. WOW !!! Super expensive f**k up !!!
Can't deflate tires to make that fit, but could cut power to the bilge pump and flood her a bit.
I believe the correct terminology is The ship (Had) a capacity
Haha Idol
Its weird how the height above the waterline almost never is mentioned in yachting.
As someone that lives in an archipelago with bridges, it would be nice to know.
Width, lenght, depth... why not height?
The vertical clearance would vary with tide, but sure, at least a range marked on the bridge, like they do quite frequently on low road bridges where larger trucks might be travelling. The captain would also need to know the height, with loading range, for the vessel, but that could easily be determined, even through direct measurement.
Even better, a TV camera and computer system on the bridge or a shore tower or building could measure the height of the boat to give a red light/green go/no go light indication on the bridge.
Or a low power short pulsed eye safe laser that shines to sensors across the entry to accurately measure the boat for the necessary clearance with go/no go signal. If the sensor stops reading at any point, the boat is too tall. This one I don't know enough about, but someone that does could say yeah, or dumb idea.
It could be done many other ways, as well.
0:30 That'll buff out!
1:20 Ho hum, another day at work.
2:05 How was anybody expected to notice a large structure wawing its wings?
The OOW obviously wasn’t watching 😂
You mean "3 minutes of Maritime Mayhem!"
At 2:05 They are 2 men in the wheel house and none of them are paying attention !
