@@azharm9503 two cables would eliminate the ability for them to be turned whatever direction needed while allowing the helicopter to point in the direction it may need to be. There's a limit on fuel to weight ration, a helicopter can only carry so much weight. Do you really believe they purposely or mistakenly not have enough fuel to carry out rescue missions? Your comment is naive, and lacks respect, you clearly know nothing about what you are talking about.

The ship was later towed to Newfoundland and then sold and renamed Camilla Desgagnés by its new Canadian owners. In 2005 she suffered a fire off New York but was repaired and put back into service. In 2008 she made history when she became the first commercial cargo ship to transit the Northwest passage. She's still in service today.

I was a Firefighter for 4 years. I know it is different, but I can relate to what these rescuers were going through. They are likely more nervous and scared than the passengers themselves.

i was in the Coast Guard and we took part in many rescues just like this in the Atlantic area. It's amazing how bad the ocean can get what with the waves coming from every direction and the wind smashing rain into your face. We worked with helicopters and they often dropped people onto our deck after plucking them from sure disaster. It's difficult to land someone when the sea is making the ship go up and down so fast and you can't judge the distance. The average person would last about 5 minutes in that 55 degree water before dying of shock. I knew of one guy who lasted 24 hours but he had a wet suit on and was holding on to a crab pot marker.

2003 salvage[edit] On May 1, 2002, Camilla was laid up in the port of Mariehamn, Finland. According to the Finnish investigation report, maintenance work on the ship was intended to be carried out during the lay-up, but did not actually take place. On December 31, 2002 the ship departed Mariehamn for Canada in ballast for a cargo of paper. During the sailing, it was noticed that the ship's fuel had been contaminated with water, requiring a transition to burning light oil, and that engine lubrication oil required continuous filtering. The exhaust valves of the main engine also saw attention many times during the trip. After loading her cargo in Dalhousie, New Brunswick, Canada, the ship left for England on January 19, 2003. On Jan 23rd 05.40z the main engine stopped at sea, causing a black out. The engine failed with alarms and was restarted several times each time with some increasingly worrying signs of disrepair. At 09.36z it was discovered that one of the crank shaft bearings was overheating with mechanical noise emerging from several of the cylinders. At 10.45z the engine was declared inoperative. The engineers initially set out to repair the engine, but the master's decision at 13.48z that the ship would be evacuated halted the work. A hurricane was closing in, the repairs would take up to 36 hours, and even in the best case the ship's propulsion would be limited. The ship was then at 46° 54,7’ N, 46° 50,9’ W, and rolling 30-40 degrees. The crew ate dinner, closed all the hatches and valves and prepared to leave the ship. The ship's Stork-Werkspoor engine type was deemed in the Finnish investigation report to be very sensitive to the quality of its lubrication oil owing to a design feature, and the type had also received a general design revision to the crank rod bearings and the connecting rods. The engine type was also known to collect sticky oily residue in the general crankshaft area even when carefully maintained. The engine on board the "Camilla" had both unrevised and revised parts installed, but the parts to fail were all of the unrevised design. The investigation board concluded that the most probable cause for the engine break down was imperfect lubrication of the main engine.[5] The imperfect lubrication was a result of several factors, as detailed in the full report.

That is allot of information!!

[@gmcinnis6304]

so... poor rod bearings? that demanded the very best oil/lubrication, not... whatever we have around that we can pour in the engine. salt water in the lubricating oil ... not good. 36 hrs to repair motor, no time for that. lessons learned

Thankyu!!

one would think that a ship that large would have 2 engines. I would hate to be in the middle of the ocean and depend on only one engine, I used to do a Lot of Deliveries of vessels and only once had transmission damage but was lucky enough to only be a few mile off shore and was able to call for a tow back to shore for repairs.

Major Tiebought, you and your crew are wonderful and so brave. God Bless you all in your many journeys

[@outlawbadge1]

That was a risky mission for everyone including the crew but some how you guys pulled it off. Wow, you rescued 16 people with no time to spare. What ever happened to the ship that was abandoned in the typhoon? Fantastic job everyone. Well done

Very courageous the pilot and a great heart!! He tried all his best to save all of them. A great man!

Save them? The ship was fine a tug found it and tow it to shore a few days later.

[@randallshughart]

70 minutes in manual hover, matching ships attitude is some SERIOUS skills. Not every helo pilot can do that.

[@FreelancerFreak]

Its the difference training and natural skill

[@ludovicbon5903]

Just training, training and more training . And a pinch of experience (a big pinch) .

[@orawan01]

Having worked at sea I do wonder if they were maintaining the ship properly, also why they could not fly back to the rig where they refuelled. Well done to all involved.

From the moment that there's no lubrication going into the engine, is the start of suspense and drama until the rescue. Thanks for the amazement and thrill.

My worst fear height and the deep sea. Those captains and rescuers got some f balls of steel. Kudos to those brave men out there. May God keep them safe whenever they try to do more rescue missions

[@DangarMarine]

You can really sense their dread as they moved towards the bow into the "No Smoking" area. Seriously though, I would like to have heard about what was meant by "badly damaged oil filter" and what happened to the ship.

[@nicohusky]

😂

[@christinafidance340]

Well whatever happened to the filter, it clearly stopped the oil from reaching the engine in order to lubricate the moving parts and if run without oil, any size motor will quickly and inevitably seize and it’s beyond repair at that point. Nothing can be done to repair it short of rebuilding it entirely or simply replacing it. Oil is THAT freakin vital.

[@imaboygenius]

no “check Engine” light or engine temperature gauges?

[@markmitchell450]

Most engines should have a an oil alert or better still cuts off the engine to protect it If a simple filter fails that would lead me to question the ships maintenance

[@orlandomah1186]

@@markmitchell450 what about the design? No oil filter bypass? No spare oil filter?
