We have just released a new video on this, talking about the 'three stories' in this case. The captain's statement, the charter person's statement and the eye-witness statement. We also talk about how pyrotechnics are used onboard, and disposed of. And how 'shore parties' are organised by yachts for guests. Watch it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6SagYFuf5agl6M

eSysman never skips a beat. Total video equipment failure? No problem! The show must go on! Love this channel. Cheers.

[@panoshountis1516]

I know it is confusing, but in Greece we measure plots by strema (pl. stremata) which is equivalent to 1000sq.m. (10m x 100m). So the torched area in the island of Hydra was 300 stremata (300000sq.m. which is 74 acres)

[@eSysmanSuperYachts]

We saw both measurements which is a little confusing. We saw 300k sq metres and 300 acres which is completely different.

[@panoshountis1516]

@@eSysmanSuperYachts you are correct that some news outlets mention 300 acres but I think they are irresponsibly equating the Greek strema to the internationally used acre. All over the Greek media, no other than the 300 stremata (300k sq.m) is mentioned so I would trust this is the reliable area measurements.

[@JohnnyBean78]

No worries. You did excellent with no computer and necessary equipment. I appreciate you for putting the updates and news out there. These SY’s are a wet dream of mine, I like to look and listen. Over the 2 or so years being subed to your channel, I have learned soo much about maritime and about SY’s I didn't think I would even care to learn. It gives me more appreciation about you and the industry you guys work in. You make this type of subject appealing, so I had to watch and learn more, then. And have been addicted to this since. Awesome video. Thanks for the updates.

🤗 THANKS ESYSMAN,FOR REPORTING ON THE RUN 🏃 AND THE DOING YOUR BEST 💚💚💚

[@jeremy1350]

I've sat on the Jacques Cartier bridge in Montreal during a fireworks show being shot off below at La Rhonde. And afterwards there was paper wrappings, shell pieces, and other aerial trash that fell from the sky onto the bridge. So if they were shooting fireworks off, no matter how simple or complex, there would be trash left over on the beach. I don't think that the forest went POOF and fire erupted on its own, no??

[@geoffrohde2886]

Thanks for the update, and don't worry about the technical problems - it's the news that is the most important factor. I'm glad to know that there were pyrotechnics found on the beach - that certainly seems to dispel the alternative conclusion that the fire occurred naturally, which of course, can indeed happen. It sounds a little like they thought they were clever enough to not get caught, and maybe not quite so clever after all. Geoff Rohde

Good, I did say the Greek authority's were attempting to locate the guests. Running away is never a good defence or a really good starting point to prove innocence. interesting video 2x 👍

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

When this first came out I wondered how any person crewing the yatch having any type of pyrotechnics on board. Thats kind of a given seeing as a fire onboard could easily happen. Now a guest, thats more likely.

[@Bubby869]

When you first reported this, I really thought they’d rule out any involvement from Persephoni (who shoots fireworks from water TO LAND?!). Good job staying on the story 😊

[@luukbvos]

Apparently you should start watching your back, I saw some shady things happening in the background ;-)

[@christophb2736]

Shouldn't there be any cctv footage, if there were two yachts in the vicinity of the fire?

[@Orxenhorf]

Or like someone else commented, are/were there any social media posts by the guests? Greece's whole response is a bumbling mess of lack of collected evidence and overuse of arresting powers.

[@fluffyfour]

@@Orxenhorf The guests are now arrested. Their cameras and phones will be thoroughly investigated; but people of that level posting to social media?? Definitely not!

[@Orxenhorf]

@@fluffyfour The guests left the country.

[@csjrogerson2377]

What do yachts do with their time expired pyros? They are very difficult to get rid of coz nobody wants to look after them. Most yachts use them for training purposes. Some might use them as fire works.

Where was Persephone when Maui went up in flames?

[@sailing_el_jaleo]

I may be naive but I still find it hard to believe that all of them would lie.

[@johnmcque4813]

I don't understand why the yacht was so close to land to entertain the guests, they can do that far from land, so I am calling it not an accident, because the crew and captain knew better.

[@flightographist]

Lots of money changed hands over the arson and subsequent skedaddle.

[@justinlinnane8043]

A classic case of super rich arrogance. These people roam around the world like latter-day robber barons exploiting and using everyone and everything they want without a care for the consequences . If they were allowed to leave then none of them will ever be held accountable unless of course the charter yacht has a record of their credit card numbers !!🤣🤣

[@peterevenhuis2663]

The Greek captain if indeed proven that his ship is responsible to start the fire will face the responsibility from that fire, the problem is that greek courts are very very slow and it can take a 3 years before there is a final court ruling.

[@user-ov4mk9ox8y]

plus I'm assuming Kazach. doesn't have an extradition Treaty with Greece, or ANYONE for that matter. Not for "Elites" anyway. At the end of the day, the Captain is responsible for the boat, and any goings on are on his head.

[@Orxenhorf]

It'll be hard to prove anything after waiting several days to collect evidence without proof no one else went there. Harder to expect to recover fingerprints or DNA from things that tend to scatter pieces of the (untouched) insides all over. And even harder still to guarantee a match when a chunk of your suspect pool has left to a former SSR that would likely never cooperate or extradite.

[@arb732]

I'm sorry but at 5:00 did that black suv hit the wall and flatten its tire?

[@georgeburns7251]

I wasn’t able to see a deflated tire.

[@user-cp4yi7wp3r]

Yard brokers have a lot of boats for sale. I’m interested in sailing vessels and it seems like nobody videos interior, engine, rooms, etc. like you do please look into it. And you can tell him I’m not interested in flying out to where the boat is see it’s something I don’t like I wanna see it on video then I’ll if I need to.

Re: Amadea - $600K US per month to maintain it paid by taxpayers... Sad.

I lived in KZ for 10 years and due to my work, would be quite familiar with people of this ilk - not these individuals personally. Anyone who knows anything about Kazakhstan, Mr. Nazerbayaev or any of his contacts and knows how one gets ‘mega rich’ there after the fall of the USSR will know these people will face absolutely ZERO charges 😂 …..EVER! 😅. ***not, by the way, that they actually sound guilty of anything - I can also tell you there’s no way these people were in the muck setting or launching their own fireworks 😂😂😂😂

[@skullsaintdead]

5:49 "Neither I nor my guests _asked_ the crew of the yacht or any other third parties to take any actions that _could_ lead to a fire" - Abulgazin (group leader). What a legalese way of saying "I can't say, flat-out "No, we did not start the fire" because that would be factually incorrect", so you have to do the Bill Clinton thing of elongating answers, obfuscating truths and leaving open to interpretation what "actions" that "lead to a fire" really means (and this will differ from person to person, i.e. setting off fireworks on a sandy, open beach may not lead to fire in most reasonable peoples minds, but setting off fireworks on a beach right next to scrub and trees would). He's also only saying that the VIP guests didn't _ask_ anyone else (crew etc) to start a fire (or cause a fire to be started). That doesn't mean the VIP's didn't start the fire themselves, without crew help. It's hardly a rebuttal, indeed, it's subtly incriminating.

[@DavidPearl23]

Here is my question if you can afford to charter yacht like that why don’t you just pay professionals to do a firework show for you?

[@motorvelo]

Persefoni is pronounced Per sef on ee

[@hizacaine]

Excuse me, but how is the sighting of a person, likely Persefoni's crew, in turnout gear evidence of lying? It's evidence of intent to fight a fire, not of igniting one. Do you accuse all firemen of lying?

[@eSysmanSuperYachts]

Watch our latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6SagYFuf5agl6M

[@Orxenhorf]

Greece is still not looking good for having made valid arrests. Finding "traces from expended pyrotechnic devices" many days after the event doesn't show that they are related to that event at all without being able to prove no one else was in that area in the intervening time. And, none of anything they said is a basis for arresting or charging the entire crew. At most, a small number of crew may have gone to shore with the guests, but the majority will still have been on the ship manning the bridge, monitoring the engines, in the galley, asleep or off duty in their quarters, etc., etc.

[@radamus210]

Well, Someone is getting blamed for that fire. What are the responsibilities of a ships crew when their charter goes ashore? And were they ferried by a crew member such as we see on those charter yacht TV shows? It seems there could be a link of responsibility to the captain via actions of his crew he is responsible for. This might not be good even though the crew had nothing to do with it. Sounds like the Rus baby girl getting her yacht back and her daddy told her so!

Being part of Nursultan's "crew" means zero jail time & a great whopping "donation", I'd guess....

[@bcluett1697]

The Greeks win either way, the people are not guilty and they are well behaved or they are guilty and they won't be back any time soon. If someone is an oligarch you would think they'd have the money for a barge to launch fireworks from so it doesn't set anything on fire. That's what a lot of cities/towns do by the ocean.

[@NSResponder]

The Kazakh oligarchs are lying, but they will probably suffer no consequences whatsoever for their arson. The charter captain is screwed.

[@russoley8995]
