The Story Of The Oceanos

Back in the early 1990's came an incredible event, most now, don't remember or know about. It was an event that ended with the sinking of a family cruise ship and an incredible air rescue all while the captain had already escaped. This is the story of the sinking, of the Oceanos.

It gets a bit more awkward when you realize that Moss Hills, the guitarist, singer and one of the entertainers, have survived the sinking of two cruise ships, the second being the MS Achille Lauro, which caught fire in the Indian Ocean and started sinking.

As a South African we were shocked and couldn't believe what happened but back then our armed forces were very well equipped and trained to deal with these things. We also had 2 of the best open ocean rescue tugs in the Southern hemisphere, they were the "John Ross" and the "Wolrade Woltemade " they were often sent out to tow in damaged commercial shipping vessels. Oh and the pronounciation of Transkei is said as "trans -sky". It is definitely known as the wild coast for it's serious storms and severe currents. Thanks for an awesome video 😁👍🏻👍🏻

Holy cow. This is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. There's no alarm. Its like a normal day. No search of the ship. "No ROK divers competent enough?" I find that hard to believe. The captain left the ship, but he was helping people off board. No one seems upset. Then Park arrives and the rescuers "pretend" to be working for her benefit. All Park cares about is getting good video feed. She "orders" there to be "no casualties." Really? "Oh, if the president orders it, then we should get to work." I guess the real error is not ordering an abandon ship. Only civilian volunteers bothered to look for bodies. This is BIZARRE.

I study lost ships. The reason is it shows the incredible amount of human courage in the worst of times. Ships are their own enclosed environment, with often only their resources on board to survive. There are extraordinary captains of course, but you'd be surprised at how many of the heroes are simply people who rose to amazing heights. The SS Pennsylvania was saved by a passenger (although he had been a crew member before, credited with saving many lives on the RMS Atlantic, the baker on the Titanic, and so many more. People whom you wouldn't know as amazing until they were. I don't think they knew either until that moment, they simply did what had to be done and became heroes.

With Titanic part of the problem was passengers didn't initially want to get in the boats, especially when it meant leaving their husbands and fathers behind. It was believed by many that the ship was not sinking and that they would have to later return to the ship looking like fools. It was only after the ship started listing heavily that passengers really believed that the ship was sinking and of course by then there weren't many boats left and launching them was more difficult due to the listing. Now they don't do women and children first, but rather keep families together so they are more willing to get into the boats.
