FUN FACT: during his surveilled freedom, Schiettino was even allowed to go to a school to talk. And his book, which can be translated as the submerged truth was pretty much just him trying to shift the blame on the rest of the crew, saying he was the only one who was calm during the situation.

[@evandaymon8303]

Yep when in doubt blame everyone but yourself for failure. Though to be honest other crew members are at fault for this ones with the captain not ones who tried to keep the ship from sinking and also the company for allowing the untrained captain that was originally a head of security who caused two wrecks to continue his job and hiring someone with no experience and poor communication skills. So captain is fully and completely at fault for this but there were others that should also take the blame for this stupid ignorant mistake

[@leroy1154]

@@evandaymon8303 Yeah, except Schettino wasn't an "untrained captain that was originally a head of security". That was a simplification for the purpose of comedy. He comes from a family of mariners and trained at the Nino Bixio Nautical Institute in Sorrento. After that he spent a number of years working for a ferry company called Tirrenia. In 2002 he was hired by Costa Crociere, as an Officer in charge of security. Not a security guard or just a head of security, but an actual ships officer, who was in charge of a department or section, onboard the ship. He worked his way upwards, becoming 'Staff Captain' (which is the second in command of a ship), and eventually being promoted to captain in 2006. As for the two "wreaks". The first, in 2008 was actually caused by force 7 winds (which is winds up to 38mph/61kmh) blowing the ship into docks while it was at port. The second seems to be a bit of a beat up by the media. AIDA Cruises, who owned the ship he was said to have damaged (The AIDAblu), released a statement saying "There was a suction effect that caused the ship to move slightly. This is not an exceptional incident. The AIDAblu provisions loading ramp, which was deployed at the time, was minimally damaged by the slight movement of the ship. There was no risk of a collision or for the crew and passengers at any time."

If souls are real, I [🪼] would not be surprised if the captain in Concordia is the same soul of the captain of the Titanic. While since that tragedy it's been expanded into more than just that single error (like manufacturing errors and cut corners from White Star rushing the cruiseliner out the door, which is thought to be how the "invincible" ship ended up more like a crunchy tin can; like the dumbass overhangs that allowed the water to flow over and over into each cell?

Back in the Deepwater Horizon disaster, some of the first family members who found out about anything were the ones who had direct connections to either the Coast Guard or they had networked with the families of other workers on the rig. It's likely that the reason this woman's call mattered so much is that her daughter actually had someone to go to who had the power to go to authorities and raise an alarm, whereas most people would call their friends and family and it would work like this: A: "Hey, I think the ship's going down!"

Issue with Cruise ships is they are basically 'normal ships' that's had a ton of bullshit dumped on top so any sense of weight balance and such goes right out the window. instead of being near seat-level on the balance point, it sits might midway up the ship instead cuz we have a full on shopping mall, casino, etc. included.

[@BNuts]

There are a distressingly high number of maritime disasters caused by a combination of greed, cost-cutting, incompetence, and/or improper maintenance. An involved vessel might not even be properly certified as seaworthy, nor its crew certified for the positions they are supposed to be filling, as in the case of a tanker and a ferry that collided with each other in the East, with only one crewperson each actually on duty at the time, and not knowing what they were supposed to be doing. In the case of the _MV Sewal_ , a Japanese-built ferry that the South Korean company running it had added extra passenger decks to, its issues were heavily added to: It was overloaded with cargo, including vehicles, none of which were tied down; it has more passengers than it could safely be rated for, and to save on fuel, the ballast was much less than it should have had, and the ballast pumps were not functioning properly. She could not be turned more than 5 degrees safely, and when she was she slowly capsized, with loose cargo shifting. What made this the tragedy it became was that passengers were ordered to stay in their rooms, and they were never told to go to muster stations at all. The few who left on their own were rescued, but the rescue itself was a disaster without anyone taking charge. The captain was the first off the ship, followed by his bridge crew. The _Astoria_ was a ferry with a hinged visor and bow ramp. She was running too fast through rough waters, and the locking mechanism for the visor broke, raising the visor and lowering the ramp, predictably sinking the ship. Not to be outdone, _Empress of Ireland_ also had additional decks adding to her topheaviness. Worse yet, it was done in concrete. As passengers for a company picnic were coming aboard in the St. Lawrence River, which was choked with garbage and sewage, the ship began to list and capsize. While people and crews struggled to help in the rescue, many more people drowned in the sewage. Then there were two cruises where Moss Fields was an entertainer. In one, the ship sprang a leak, and the captain and crew abandoned the passengers, collecting their things and evacuating on lifeboats without telling anything to the passengers. Left without sufficient lifeboats, when Moss and the other entertainers found the bridge empty, they coordinated with the coast guard for rescue while the ship sank. For the second one, Moss helped the passengers escape a burning ship. One man died because a lifeboat was dropped on his head, but otherwise Moss's experience with the previous evacuation helped a lot. Being on a sinking, capsizing ship is frightening, but being on a _burning_ ship is even worse. As Inugami Korone once said "Fire on the water... why?!"

Oh man, I remember seeing the aftermath of the Costa Concordia shitshow on TV. Man. Brings me back. Twelve year old me was so blissfully unaware of how hard depression was going to uppercut him straight in the groin. And yeah, back to the point, we had news coverage of it here in France.

[@TomH2681]

[@greenpiersystem]

Mandatory Second Comment Warning: We wanted to add this, but the other comment was for something entirely separate, so... IH is not swearing for the hell of it. For English speakers, throwing "vada a bordo cazzo" into Italian translators literally converts to "get the fuck on board," with the expletive. "Cazzo" is the expletive, by the way, it's Italian slang for... well, joystick. 😂 Word for word, "vada a bordo cazzo!" translates to "go to board, fuck!" Also we learned something from research: interestingly enough, apparently Italian as a language tends to use sexual slang whereas languages like French, Spanish and of course English tend to use "scatalogical" slang. So while English speakers use things like "bullshit!" or "piss off!" often, Italian speakers gravitate towards slang about certain parts. Pretty nifty, huh? Not to forget, as well, we have to mention that another reactor, who made a 3-part after many requests to finish the whole video since he actually has international sailing experience, has clarified that it's actually a legal issue to leave the bridge empty in an emergency like this (the idea of a captain going down with the ship extends to international law, apparently; the captain HAS to stay on the bridge to coordinate evacuation, and is the last one to leave because it's THEIR vessel. If a lifeboat runs out of seats and there's not enough for both the captain and the crew or passengers, the crew and passengers always go first. The fact that captain wingnut left the bridge and abandoned ship wasn't just a massive embarrassment, but also illegal for the same reason you aren't allowed to abandon a car accident, which is why the coast guard told him to get his ass back on board.) So technically, yes, it IS actually your responsibility as captain, should shit hit the fan, to go down with the ship. Doesn't mean you must die if it sinks, but if you aren't sure that as many people are safe as possible when you go to leave, your job's not done yet. -🗻/🐕‍🦺

[@jessicajones641]

These ppl were left aboard a sinking ship with next to no help from the crew. Some of the accounts of what these people had to go through to survive is beyond traumatic. These people falling off the side of the boat, clinging to ropes and rope ladders for hours...I cannot imagine the PTSD they suffered

[@BNuts]

And some people realized they could _swim_ to shore, they were so close. But it'd have been much easier if the captain had just ordered the evacuation as soon as they lost main power and the ship started listing against the rocks. Ain't going anywhere else. What did he expect to happen?

You were saying how the guy that was rescued with the Broken Leg should have gotten more compensation. The thing was, he was a member of the crew and one of the people directly responsible for it being as bad as it was. He actually is one of the people charged, and you see he's one of the people who got the plea deal. He's the one on the far right at 57:10

[@TheAngryXenite]

@@CoffeeLovingMex I think he was one of the people responsible for covering up the true extent of the danger to the passengers by lying. So he's not in any way responsible for the ship sinking but he's part of the reason people died because he contributed to them getting bad intel.

You guys should check out the sinking of the cruise ship Oceanos in the early 90s. When it started to sink most of the officers including the captain abandoned ship in a half-empty life boat without even telling the passengers the ship was sinking. This left the ships entertainment staff including a stand-up comedian and a guitar player to coordinate the rescue. Its a remarkable story. There is an old dateline episode that explains the whole thing very well. You can find the whole episode (split up into 6 parts) on youtube.

[@star22sally67]

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

[@greenpiersystem]

Not surprised that the Concordia fell under the Carnival umbrella. Carnival Cruises really lives up to their name. The Poptart Wedding was on their ship (a wedding was scheduled on one cruise; power went out, shit bags like you guys brought up, etc; and because the fridges died, all the food expired, so they had to literally air-deliver giant crates of Cinnamon Pop Tarts to the ship because they're storage-safe. Poor woman was celebrating her wedding with poptarts instead of her expensive cake.) Many, MANY, *MANY* fires in the engines and other systems, and repeated failure to maintain their ships; a huge amount of their crew is unexperienced because it's apparently a quiet fact that most staff who start at Carnival will try to leave for other lines as soon as they have enough resume credit to do so; and in general... their ships are just fucking bad. We've been on the Fantasy. It's the smallest ship at sea that qualifies as a cruise ship. The food was shit, and even though we were actively going through what was trying to become a hurricane on the way to Florida, we clearly got foodborne illness, not motion sickness; the stores were smoking something because their prices were so high that they made the duty-free status pointless, we never saw a single sale take place to the point staff just started locking the doors and never opening anyway; the ship had obvious wear and tear, and even was outright dirty in places like the lobby; the ship has nothing to do except eat and try not to die, pretty much. But the "floating 5-star hotel" assessment is a bit quick to draw. We'd call the Oasis Class of Royal Caribbean ships equivalent to floating cities, especially since every time a new Oasis Class is released, they almost always take the record for the biggest cruise ship at sea, including over their predecessors. You look at some of the photos from those ships, and they can be literally filled with parks, boardwalks, etc. Quantum/Quantum Plus is just as complex despite being smaller, and they have the new Icon class on the way that seems to be the Quantum Plus of the Oasis class. And over in Norwegian, while their ships ARE closer to a 5-star floating hotel, if you want to go for the duty-free while still having shit to do, they actually have stores that give a shit, and they have VR, AR, a 3 story racetrack, etc. on their Prima Class ships. And, as a bonus, both of these companies... ...actually take care of their ships! In fact, as weird as it might be to look at, NCL actually provides their build and refurbish dates for each ship right on their site (it might look weird because they only give the most recent refurb, so the ships might be built in 1995 but look like they were only refurbished in 2020, when they've definitely been done many, many times before that. 😂) Flaming Whale Tail is well known for videos on KZbin showing black smoke coming from engine fires on their ships because they repeatedly fail inspections. RC and NCL haven't had half of those incidents. We eventually want to go on a RC cruise, on the Oasis class. If we had to recommend anything... stay the fuck away from the whale clowns. 😅 -🖊/🗻/👾 Edit: Completely forgot this when we first commented, but to go with the failed bottle shatter, timeline of events and the anniversary of the Titanic on Friday the 13th, Carnival Cruises is actually the living descendant of White Star Line, the company that operated the Titanic on it's doomed journey. White Star was passed through several hands and eventually became Carnival Cruises today, so the worst disaster since the Titanic was ran into the ground the exact same way was owned by the same company that did it 100 years ago. So they had absolutely no shot. Karma was ready to collect as soon as the bottle got thrown. 😂 -🎇/🖊️

I remember when people thought the internet had a blackout because Google's servers were having severe problems, and Internet Explorer just refused to serve any website that had any data that came from Google's servers. Both tracking and ads triggered this error, so half of the internet didn't load. And of course, KZbin worked perfectly well. The irony… If I ask whether anybody remembers it, probably nobody will say they do. It was too long ago. People forget these things because the western media just floods our mind with every little intrusive thought they have. We can't hold so many memories in our head.

[@GunthersLoyalSoldier1307]

Nate, if you got a ship that costs millions of dollars then you should be asking yourself “Why did I buy a ship that costs millions of dollars!?”

[@krahvata]

I watched his video Q&A video on this topic as well. The captain was definitely in the wrong after the crash but the company and his fellow crewmembers who didn't follow procedure(or knew the language) aren't blameless either. Looks like he rose to the position due to corruption and connections, and was blamed for the whole thing due to them as well. The cruise ship business is a massive economy boost for Italy, which is why the court didn't prosecute the company. The media used the whole situation to add more fuel to the fire, as the media does.
