This UNBELIEVABLE Shipwreck was Deadlier than the Titanic

[@vixenwinters6375]

The Sewol, a South Korean ferry carrying mostly high school students, sank on its way to an island in the south, where the students were to undergo a traditional right-of-passage-style extended field trip. The story is both quite tragic due to the death-to-survival ratio, and rage-inducing due to the negligence and selfishness of the crew and the South Korean government - and, since the victims were mostly minors, I feel it one hundred percent deserves a spot in a video like this. Also look up the sinkings of the Arctic, the Atlantic, and The HMAS Sydney. The Britannic, one of Titanic's two sister ships (which had been recolored and re-outfitted as a hospital ship), also sank after a torpedo hit her. Though the death toll was quite low, a nurse was on board who had survived the Titanic sinking, and she apparently said that the Britannic was an even worse experience for her due to the particularly horrific nature of Britannic's deaths - mostly caused - quite directly - by her rear propellers.

I think what makes the Titanic so historically significant is the status of the first class passengers, the nature of the sinking, the dichotomy of the rich and poor on board, the language barriers found in the signs, the confusing internal layout and the atrocious safety and mangement protocols. Still, the other tragedies are no less significant.

Gordon Lightfoot’s song _The Wreck of the_ Edmund Fitzgerald, is a heartbreaking telling od the real-life story of the sinking of the SA Edmund Fitzgerald on November 10, 1975 in Lake Superior. All 29 of her crew, including her captain, Captain Ernest M. McSorely, were killed in the wreck somewhere near Whitefish Bay or Whitefish Point. The Mariners’ Church in Detroit used to annually ring a bell 29 times friom November 1975-November 2005, and last year, after Lightfoot’s death, they rang it 29 times yet again, and added 1 more for Lightfoot.

The Wilhelm Gustloff was so unfairly overshadowed by the Titanic and Lusitania wrecks. The amount of deaths was unbelievable.

[@XxFlamexX14]

The reason why the ship is overshadowed is mainly because the Nazi tried to hide the real reason why it was sunk and were also hiding the fact that they were losing the war. So the ship went unknown for some time before more and more people discovered it. The reason the Titanic and Lustitania are well known is because they happened during a time of peace.

Titanic wasn’t a cruise liner she was an ocean liner. They are very different things. Cruise liners typically go to multiple destinations and end the voyage in the same port they are also meant for leisure. Ocean liners go from one point and end the voyage in another. They are not designed for leisure they are more like a city bus whereas a cruise liner is like a party bus. Also they did acknowledge the ice warnings because they changed course days before to avoid the ice field it was also normal procedure to continue at full speed until ice is spotted. Also a huge important note. The titanic was not going her full speed. A entire boiler room wasn’t even lit. The ice didn’t rip the hull open it buckled the hull plates opening gaps between the plates. The Titanic was never called unsinkable Olympic was called unsinkable and that was after Titanic sank. The reason passengers weren’t concerned was because the ship was sinking so slowly that they thought everything was fine. In this time it took ships under 20 minutes to sink. It took Titanic nearly 3 hours to sink. They also didn’t want to go out into the cold if it ended up being a false alarm. Nobody wants to be cold in a small boat in pitch black darkness when you have a warm lit up ship right there that you aren’t even confident is going to sink. Having enough lifeboats for half was standard procedure on every ship of the era. The boats were never intended to carry everyone they were meant to ferry passengers. The rescue ship also uses its boats to aid in an evacuation so two ships worth of boats was considered enough. The ship sailed with its original intended amount of boats the design with more was only for when laws changed. In fact they were only required to carry 16 boats but they put 20 on. Also more boats wouldn’t have even helped because they barely got the 20 they did have launched. Two didn’t even get launched they just floated off the deck. The owners didn’t say it would clutter the deck again it was always intended to carry 20 boats until the laws changed to require more. The boats weren’t full because passengers were not getting on deck due to the cold. The boats launched later on were full because people began to realize the severity of the situation. The chairman of White Star Line J. Bruce. Ismay actually ran around the ship urging passengers to get on deck and take it seriously. He also tried to help launch boats but the crew told him to step back and let them do it. The officers did know the boat capacity again they filled them with whoever was there. If nobody was left they launched.

The USS Indianapolis will be forever remembered because of one of the greatest monologues ever delivered in a classic movie. Robert Shaw’s drunken telling of the story in Jaws is a chilling telling of the the event. The monologue was all the more believable because Shaw was actually dunking on at the time. Of course, he spent the entire movie intoxicated because he was an alcoholic, but a brilliant actor. He wasn’t even the first choice for the role of Captain Quint, but I can’t imagine any other actor in that role. Lee Marvin was Spielberg’s first choice, but he turned down the role. It seemed as if Shaw was born to play Captain Quint, probably his most noticeable role from every movie he was in. The fact that he wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar that year is a testament to how corrupt and political the Oscars had become many years earlier. It always seemed that any movie that was a blockbuster was always snubbed by the Oscars, where they usually select the more artsy fartsy films that few people watched or remember if they did.

The ferry MV Sewol sank on the morning of April 16, 2014, en route from Incheon towards Jeju in South Korea. Investigators found that on the day of the sinking, the ferry was dangerously overloaded with cargo, some of which was not properly secured in storage areas. When the Sewol undertook a sharp turn, some of that cargo shifted and threw the vessel off balance, an investigation found. Additionally, Sewol was carrying only 580 tons of ballast water, much less than the recommended 2,030 tons; this would make the vessel more prone to list and capsize. The crew had reportedly pumped out hundreds of tons of ballast water from the bottom of the ship in order to accommodate the additional cargo. Out of 476 passengers and crew, 304 died in the disaster, including around 250 students from Danwon High School in Ansan City. Of the 172 survivors, more than half were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels that arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes before the Korea Coast Guard (KCG). On May 15, 2014, the captain and three crew members were charged with murder, while the other eleven members of the crew were indicted for abandoning the ship.

here's some misinformation here about the Titanic: 1: While it's true the Titanic didn't have enough Life Boats for all passengers board, the reason wasn't due to negligence, in fact the Titanic actually had MORE life boats than was legally required at that time. The common wisdom at the time was that Life Boats weren't safe enough to be a "living situation" like people think, but instead that they were meant to ferry people from a sinking ship to a rescue ship, as it was accepted that there would always be a ship close by enough to rescue people with ample time (Which there was, the S.S. California was only 15 miles from Titanic, but the wireless had been turned off for the night and the Captain, stupidly, refused to investigate that Titanic's rocket flairs). All if this had been demonstrated to work in the past. 2: The "300 foot gash" in the hull was also misleading. The actual damage was reportedly only about 11 feet, but it was several small gashes spread across 300 feet. This particular situation was one that was genuinely never considered in construction as it hadn't really been observed before to this degree. 3: The Titanic was never, officially, reported as "unsinkable", but only as "the most unsinkable" - The latter fact was actually true. The Titanic was ironically, the safest ship in the world for her time, just ended up sustaining just BARELY enough damage to founder. The decision to continue moving at full speed was also one that likely seemed to be a good idea at the time - The frigid water and the moonless night created a sort of mirage that made visibility that night look incredible - it was actually very poor.

It’s hard to believe that they didn’t even turn the wireless back on, that’s incredibly stupid. A lot more people could have survived if they had just asked if they were okay.

@@Scott_Buchanan Yeah, if I recall properly, the reason is because the California only had one wireless operator, and he was asleep. The Titanic had two so someone could always be on duty.

Is this Bright Side in disguise? _RMS Titanic_ was not a cruise ship (there is no such thing as a cruise liner, since cruise ships do not follow established shipping lines on established, tight schedules. They instead wander up and down coasts), she was an ocean liner. The collision with the iceberg made multiple breaches along the hull, not a single long one, and buckled the hull plating, causing many rivets to pop free, resulting in a number of secondary breaches. _Titanic_ was not steaming at full speed, and this was less relevant anyway compared to the lack of visibility due to the moonless night and dead-calm water making it almost impossible to spot icebergs, most particularly growlers like the one they hit. _Titanic_ faced not just one berg, but was completely surrounded by an ice field, as the survivors would discover in the morning. _Titanic_ had been making excellent time, beating _Olympic_ 's initial crossing time, and neither Smith nor Ismay saw any reason to go full-speed. Philips and Bride, who heroically repaired their Marconi wireless the day before the sinking, were on contract to White Star from the Marconi Wireless Company. They were not officially part of the ship's crew, and therefore had different priorities, such as catching up to a backlog of messages between passengers and their families. They even told other wireless operators, including the one aboard _SS Californian_ , which was nearby, to shut up (he would later go to bed because _Californian_ was stopped for the night, and the ship only had one operator, himself). Philips and Bride did not pass all of the warnings regarding icebergs to Captain Smith or the others of the bridge crew, therefore they were not fully aware of steaming into an ice field, or they might have reduced speed or diverted further south. While the crew was able to launch many of the lifeboats, some remained unused. Passenger attitude toward lifeboats at the time was not favourable: due to how many people lost their lives to the seas after getting into these open-topped lifeboats in rough waters, people felt it was safer aboard even a sinking ship. Lifeboats were seen as a way to ferry passengers from sinking vessels to rescue ships already on-station, yet there were none the night _Titanic_ sank. The major flaw that sank _Titanic_ was that her watertight bulkheads did not go high enough, therefore the water spilled over the top into the next compartment instead of being sealed. The reason the height was reduced from its original design, similar to the reduction of lifeboats, was to prevent the inner halls from becoming more of a maze to passengers. Harland and Wolff also decided not to put in double-sided hulls because they could not think of a scenario where that protection would be needed, especially after _Olympic_ and _Hawke_ collided, and both survived. Many lessons were learned because of _Titanic_ sinking and the tragic loss of life, yet due to companies cutting corners, greed, and neglect on the part of both the crew and the company, maritime disasters such as that of _MV Sewol_ and _MV Dona Paz_ still happen.

This resulted the captain getting misdirected hate from some of the families of the dead and later caused him to take his own life in 1968. He was only exonerated posthumously in 1996, after a decades-long effort by both surviving crewmen and the captain of the Japanese submarine, who contended that his foe had done everything that could have been expected of a captain and was disturbed at having unearned dishonor foisted upon him.

Great job on the video! Keep up the good work and make them longer. 🥰

[@Sweetycow1]

Great video as always, but I am surprised that MV Sewol or MS Estonia didn't get on the list. Perhaps they weren't worse than Titanic, but they were worse than some others on this list.

[@Justt-w6f]

Excelente video 👍

If you're going to include the Titanic you have to go with the Lusitania.

While it is often brought up when discussing the sinking of the Titanic, you are only getting half the truth. The other half is that the ship was labeled unsinkable by a journalist. Not the engineers, not the architects, not the builder of the ship. Rather, it was someone writing for a newspaper. Just like today the news industry has to sensationalize the stories they produce. Otherwise, their sales would decline and they would not be as profitable as they are. That journalist had never seen the plans, never made any calculation as to how the boat would float if water began entering the hall and merely jumped to a conclusion. It's been over 100 years, but the news industry has not changed one bit. They still sensationalize everything they present to you.

Happy birthday to our esteemed narrator - Daddio & Mommio. Great job, as usual.

[@robertrosejr]

I hate to say this but the Titanic was not 882 ft long it was 883.3 ft long.I just figured I should let you know. Also, the amount of light bulbs that was on board the Titanic at the time was actually more than a British border trade wanted on there so the White Star line actually did really good by doing that.

Why wasn't M/S Estonia on this list? It was way more casualties than costa Concordia and the controversial investigation after the accident almost deserves it's own video. Great video though!

[@beardeddragon3357]

Well someone said that not even God Himself could sink the titanic. Well let the titanic be a lesson that you should NEVER test God’s patience.

[@some-guy1952]

Sultana remains the worst shipwreck in American waters, but few other than Civil War buffs know about it. Because of the shifting river channel, the final resting place of Sultana is now under a cornfield.

[@chris93703]

Having more lifeboats on the Titanic probably would not have made any difference because there would not have been enough time to get all of the life boats off anyway.

[@shannonocelot7670]

I know I’m a month late. But I’m so into ship wrecks that I have to mention a few that they didn’t cover that you should definitely look up. I hope they make a part II to this video! - PS General Slocum - SS Arctic - AHS Centaur - MS Estonia - Halifax Explosion (involved ships) - HMS Hood - Yamato - Empress of Ireland - Carpathia (ship that rescued Titanic survivors) - Andrea Doria

[@danmercer8139]

Went to grade school in the early 60’s. The big craze was collecting Civil War bubble gum trading cards. They were extremely gory, showing body parts being torn off by cannonballs and lots and lots of explosions. Had to hide them from our moms. My most treasured ones were about the Battle of the Crater, Andersonville Prison and the explosion of the Sultana. What horrible luck for the Union soldiers who had survived battle and imprisonment so vile the prison commander was the first person to be executed for crimes against humanity only to die horribly due to the greed and incompetence of a couple of men.

[@davidburbage3348]

OMG I've still got some of those! Wonder if anyone still collects them?

[@Truthm9b]

No it didn’t make a 300 foot long hole! It popped rivets and loosed hull plates! No the first compartments flooded then as bow went down! Water from the flooded compartments flowed over the top of the water compartments. The water tight compartments didn’t go all the way up!

[@Pendragon-paranormal-tv]

It wasn't tiger sharks that killed those sailors it was white tip sharks that are closely related to the great white sharks. I just thought I would put you straight 😅

[@capn4u]

It never "stopped in its tracks" as you say. It continued for another 1/2 mile or more from the iceberg at 8 knots pushing water into the holes with pressure. The chambers were open to the next because the tops were not sealed as you would expect. The Olympic was its sister ship, completed a year previously. Unfortunately, the Olympic was side swiped by an English War Ship and suffered damage to the cast iron stern. After a hasty repair and lost lawsuit against The Queen, Olympic was injured again when her keel collided with a sunken wreck outside NY. I have looked for records of the repairs over the next 25 years but there were none related to these accidents. Leads one to believe Olympic was SWITCHED for Titanic and JP Morgan even kept the same captain at the core of these "mishaps". Doubling the insurance makes it suspect as well. The press dubbed The White Star Line "Too Big To Fail". On Christmas Eve in 1913 Congress accepted and chartered The Federal Reserve to control all US currency. It is run by a cabal of the wealthiest men of the time with names recognizable by all. We celebrate these shenanigans every April since. Have A Nice Day!

Hard to feel bad for the Essex knowing it was hunting whales can't blame one whale for finally having enough

[@josephmatthews9866]

From the whale revenge to the cannibalism, this whole disaster is quite ironic

[@Serpent_2012-he5zg]

I feel like the captain of the Costa Concordia should've been sent to prison for murder because it was technically his fault the passengers died.

I remember meeting an old swedish lady years ago at a nursing home and did an interview with her for a class assignment.. she said that when she was a little girl, she was in a ship that hit the same iceberg as the Titanic. I don't remember the name of the ship, unfortunately, but she did say that they had to be rescued.

[@tessawatson7937]

the wilhelm gustloff is quite literally the worst maritime disaster and no one in america knows of it because we never learn of anything bad russia did.

The sad thing about Le Joola is that since the people on the boat were sleeping inside of it and when the boat flipped only the people sleeping on the deck of the boat could make it to safety. You could see that when what I think was a rescue diver go through a hallway of the ship pointing there camera down but you still can see the feet of the dead and at a certain point in the video which they turn the camera up for a couple seconds and in that time you can see a man’s face pressed up against what I think is a glass door with his mouth a bit open. I don’t think the video is up anymore but if it is don’t watch it

[@maddie4834]

Survivors of the Essex: Refuse to sail to safety because of racist misconceptions about Pacific Islanders being “cannibals” Also the survivors of the Essex: cannibalize each other after becoming stranded at sea due to aforementioned decision. I feel like this is a good candidate for a Darwin Award.
