"it never will" But what if it does? What would happen with this video if this fictional sinking was to become reality?

[@jehb8945]

I thought another genuinely large ocean liner or cruise ship could never sing again and then the Costa Concordia sank almost 13 years ago proving once again mankind is not infallible and mother nature is waiting right behind us to hit us in the back of the head with the rifle buttstock of our own short attention span and arrogance As the old saying goes never say never or never assume it can't happen again.

[@BanjoWasTaken]

I love the way the camera shakes like someone is holding it! THE CAMERA MAN NEVER DIES!!!

[@AlexanderJGroppe]

Great quality! Only thing... this scenario is implausible. Queen Mary 2's bows are built with the thickest steel plates used for passenger ships and these are welded together. At most, she'd suffer lots of dents, scraped paint and other cosmetic bruising but highly doubtful such a collision as portrayed would even breach the hull.

So, imagining the sinking of QM2, Empress of Ireland is the possible scenario? Ramming in the side?

So far this is the best sinking animation I’ve seen. You included the accident, showing passengers as well as the lifeboats being launched. Most just show the ship sinking and nothing more.

[@dannyawxs]

As the creator of the "Pig Justice" model, it's a very awesome video animation! Especially with the fog, giving it an eerie feeling. Very nicely done! Why the weird name is as follows; years ago I used to draw this vessel a lot, A fictional (converted) Salvage and rescue vessel from 1955, owned by a salvage company on Piggy Island (Angry Birds Crossover), and hence it got the name "Pig" lol. Over the years it became old and ended up making a 3d model of the vessel as a nice memory as I decided to move on and make other 3d ships. Also laughed a bit at her sinking, as in my ship's fictional records, it actually did sank after colliding with another vessel after her tow lines snapped while being towed (dead) during scale 11 Beaufort storm 😅. Overall very appreciated and keep it up! 👍

If you're looking another vessel to do, this coming January is the 70th anniversary of the sinking of the ferry MV Princess Victoria. A animation of it sinking would be fascinating.

[@christopherlmoo]

2:14 Wow you added people!

[@Kaidhicksii]

Yeah of course she does. At least you gave her the dignity of going down by the head. For the people in the back, first of all, the only way something like this could have happened is if the radar had broken down. Otherwise, QM2 would've detected and maneuvered to avoid the other ship (Pig Justice lol) long in advance with plenty of room to spare. She does not and would not be travelling this fast in a fog bank, let alone if her radar were disabled. Second of all, this collision would not have been nearly enough to sink QM2 irl. For reference, her namesake, the original Queen Mary, rammed the British light cruiser, HMS Curacoa, after a navigational accident on the part of both ships during WW2. She spilt the smaller vessel in half with no more damage done to her own bow that could be repaired within a couple of weeks. QM2 most likely would have done the same to this ship, as the conditions were almost exactly as they were for the Queen Mary and the Curacoa, minus the fog. Though even if she didn't, despite the stern of the other ship scraping alongside her hull as it looks to have done in this video, it wouldn't have been enough to penetrate her, let alone to flood enough water to sink her. More likely than not, it would just leave some nasty scratches and a dent, due to how thick and strong QM2's hull is (over 1 1/8" by the bow). And while I cannot speak as to what QM2's compartmentalization layout and capabilities are, as that is classified information, due to her ocean liner build and the fact that her capabilities are classified, even if water somehow penetrated the hull, she should be capable of surviving with at least 5 of her compartments fully flooded all at once. Now if it were the bow of the other ship that struck her rather than the stern, on the other hand, then that might be a different story, since that's the part of a ship meant to cut through the water and potentially obstacles.

[@Swarm509]

Good writeup. It is surprising how much force a ship an take if they bow-on ram a ship or obstacle. There was a video a while back about "what-if" the Titanic struck the iceberg head on (spoiler, she probably would of survived the hit but need a new bow) that goes over the technical and historical precedence for this in ship design and actual accidents.

[@ijnfleetadmiral]

Great animation, but kinda fanciful. 1) QM2 would've been sounding her foghorn continuously in those conditions. 2) She most definitely has enough navigational aids to avoid something like this. 3) With the watertight protection she's got, no way she would sink. 4) The other ship, though...yeah, that was pretty accurate. LOL

Well maybe not, but the Costa Concordia mamaged to sink to grounding damage.

[@spawnthecrazy]

Pig Justice, lol, that was a hilarious name for a ship.

[@t3true-games]

You have always been a great story teller with your 3d models and lumi...

[@HunterSteel29]

I could see this happening a torpedo or a missile impacting the QM2 and shorting her electrical systems out or knocking out the generator which would've prevented automated water tight bulkheads from stopping the ship from flooding, but even then her damage control crews would've been sealing the water tight bulkheads with manual overrides. It is very difficult to sink a modern ship that displaces over a 100,000 tons of water. She'd need to be flooded with just as much water to overcome her buoyancy, and there's many, many watertight bulkheads and compartments that would need to be damaged and overcome for that to happen.

[@evanfromfnae1227]

I love how Oasis of the Seas and another Oasis class are the rescuers

[@Randomstuffs261]

This looks absolutely amazing! what software did you use to make this animation?

[@Local-Of-The-Mitten-State]

I’m a Maritime expert, and I shall say that this scenario would be impossible. Not the part where the smaller ship sinks, but where the QM2 sinks. Ships today have much better watertight systems and safety features than back in, say the 1910s, when the *RMS Empress of Ireland*, was struck by the *SS Storstad** in 1914. I will also say that the horn you just heard at 1:55, that horn belongs to the 1004’ Freighter, the *M/V James R. Barker* , a freighter that operates for the Interlake Steamship company in the Great Lakes, or my home waters.

[@michaelsinclair9703]

If the Queen Mary 2 sinks the ocean liners will be extinct.

[@dieselyeti]

So there's no radar in this simulation? Or did some joker unplug it? 🙃 I'd think in order for it to sink that quickly would require a huge gash below the waterline opening up many watertight compartments, which seems inconsistent with the damage to the bow from a t-bone impact. But, the quality of the sim is pretty amazing nonetheless.

[@acslfamilyvaj8025]

Love the video but the Queen Mary 2 wouldn't sink its bow would of been pushed in word and would not allow water to seep into the ship.

[@jehb8945]

Never ever say it can't happen because mankind can still be completely stupid as just under 13 years ago the Costa Concordia went down and technology hasn't advanced that drastically since then. We as a species is literally that kid on a skateboard who's wearing all of his pads and his parents remind him to be careful even though you know there's that long railing that is tempting him to do the Rowley dark slide all the way down it and end up with an arm or a leg bent in a way that cannot be unseen with the bone protruding through the skin

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Costa Concordia sank from ripping her hull open on a submerged rock. Completely different sort of damage, which flooded her engine room. Incompetent, show off captain caused her demise. Queen Mary would not have sunk from this sort of collision! That is not to say she couldn't be sunk at all, jst not by this collision.

Wonderful Job! Cannot stress that enough. The only three things that conflict with me are this: 1. She wouldn't have sank, considering the modern watertight technology and safety protocols. (But this is fiction, so I don't really care about that.) 2. If she were to sink through circumstance, it wouldn't have been nearly as quick. 3. (Probably my only real gripe.) Both ships navigation lights would have been on. Other than that though, amazing job, once again! The animation is extremely clear and easy to look at.
