The El Pharo is a heart wrenching one, the 1st officer knew they were making a huge mistake but even though she tried multiple times she couldn't get the pig headed captain to change his mind. She was so sure they were sailing into disaster she even did things like memorize where the life jackets were on every part of the ship and prepared written, updated SOS messages beforehand. Just that trapped feeling of impending doom I got while reading her logs and the accident report has stuck with me.

The Sewol ferry is so heart breaking. Kids were texting their parents that they loved them just in case they didn’t make it. There were other kids saying how scared they were and how much they desperately wanted to live. All while being told to stay where they were and not leave their rooms. By time they decided to take matters into their own hands, it was too late. Most of the victims were highschoolers from the same school. So much negligence caused so many innocent lives to be lost.

The Secret History of the Estonia is an amazing podcast for anyone who wants to learn more about this tragic story and the controversy surrounding it.

I'm from the UK and I remember the container ship had one container with someone's personal possessions, the finders had to return everything to that emigrating family, but got a reward, because the stuff was shown online to find out whose stuff it was. BMW wrote off a container of motorcycles and let the people who found them, have them for a nominal fee. There were also some lost barrels, meant for brewing which the company who owned them, allowed some local farmers to have for their use, because again they were insurance write offs, because of the wreck. The people who sold stuff online, were traced and convicted of offences under Maritime law. Those laws, were first created in the late eighteenth century to stop the thriving smuggling trade in Cornwall, which sometimes involved causing wreckings, in order to steal goods, then updated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Missed Costa Concordia in this otherwise fine overview.

Covered it in multiple vids in the past so we try not to repeat things too often

MS Estonia was a fairly well used ferry already when it got that name, its fourth, I think. I traveled in it a few times when it was called Viking Sally, owned by Viking Lines and traveling between Finland and Sweden. The disaster certainly made my claustrophobia a lot worse even if it had been many years when I had last been in that ferry, those lower decks windowless cabins were a damn maze, it must have been a total nightmare trying to get out of there.

El Faro case : two things. Captain could have been more logical as the first officer was aware of how things were going forward. Captain on the other hand followed the anticipated storm movement. However, the storm changed course which wasnt captains fault. However, once it was known they are into the storm, they still had time to move around. That is where the captain is at fault. Overconfident on himself and the ship he was commanding. Old ship, overconfident captain, and result is disaster. Not of such big proportion, but Edmund Fitzgerald and MV Derbyshire are two other examples of ships disappearing in storms. Derbyshire was really large ship, but storm took it down. Respect for mother nature and the brave hearts who sail.

This tragdey was not on the list Scandinavian Star was a car and passenger ferry on route between Oslo, Norway and Frederikshavn, Denmark. During the night of April 7th, 1990, a fire broke out, which resulted in the death of 159 people. The police investigation concluded that the ship was set on fire byone or more arsonists.

I remember a indepth analysis of the Morrow Castle fire. If the notable details were the oiled teak decks, near inches thick layers of oil based paint on everything. Like thick enough that walls that had exposed rivet heads that should have had what was effectively half a golf ball in rows were smooth due to paint buildup. Launching hardware was rusted and painted in place. The fire suppression system was clogged with rust or was just not working because of leaks. The alarms for fire were disconnected, ignored or prematurely turned off. The whole ship was basically an oil soaked tinderbox looking for a fire.

These man-made disasters sure are terrifying. Wouldn't imagine myself to be placed in a situation like this.

The Sewol incident was a really stupid one. When the captain and authorities lied that the students were safe, how do they intend to tell the parents of 325 students why their kids are still not back?

What also makes the Herald Of Free Enterprise ferry disaster worse, was that many of the passengers were on a cheap trip, from a cheap newspaper offer, which was why the ship was so full. It's one of those national scandals in the UK, like that ferry that sank after the crew and captain escaped, leaving their fellow South Koreans to a watery grave, was in South Korea, only worse because they got away with. But ferry operating rules in the UK were tightened. P & O later got brought out by another company, who kept the name, but got into trouble for removing experienced crews to save money. 🥺

That’s what I was gonna say. 🤔🤔

My dad was an oil refinery technician and one part of his job was to sign off that a particular unit was safe for contractors to work on. He never made the assumption or took another's word for it that said unit was safe, because signing off on equipment that was not safe would not only get people killed, it could and usually did result in criminal charges for the person signing. At a different refinery than my dad worked in (one that had a very poor safety record) a technician signed off that a unit was safe to work on, the contractors opened a valve and allowed several tons of molten sulfur to pour over them. 5 people were killed and the guy who signed off on it got 5 life sentences for murder.

Why don't we ever hear about the Edmond Fitzgerald sinking?

It's not really fair to entirely blame the crew of the Herald of Free Enterprise. The issues happened mostly because they were being chronicly overworked by the company. That's why the bosun fell asleep, and why the officer overseeing loading didn't check the doors we closed (regulations required him to be on the car deck for loading, but also required him on the bridge for departure, he couldn't be both places at once so he left the car deck early to get to the bridge). The company had also decided that installing a camera on the car deck so the bridge could see if the bow doors were closed was an unneccessary expense, despite the fact another one of their ferries had done the exact same thing and sailed with the doors open the previous year (but luckily survived the crossing).

Something else to note of El Faro: the captain was using a weather system that was six hours behind the current weather forecast. He thought Joaquin was still on the old predicted path which showed them well out of its way when, in truth, they were heading right for the eye of the storm. His first officer knew that they were making a mistake and heading toward the storm. She tried to convince him to listen to her advice to turn a different way to shelter from the storm, but he refused as he had been previously reprimanded for having acted cautiously in a different storm and didn't want to lose a chance at promotion to one of the company's new ships that were to be launching soon. The entire situation is maddeningly frustrating and heartbreaking.

The captain on #9 is very selfish.

Second story, it wasn't the crew who continued to tell the Korean people to stay on the ferry...it was a automatic message that was on a loop which continued because the captain left the ship in one of the active lifeboats😢

Someone who knows

The El Faro is frustrating, maddening, saddening and just plain heartbreaking. There is an excellent video by a channel called Brick Immortar which goes into great detail on the disaster. Its title is 'Disastrous Indifference' and the title fits all too well as the captain was in contact with the company who he worked for, and I have to admit that his calmness was surprising given the horrifying situation. One of the biggest reasons (theory) for his actions were that he was going to be laid off after this trip and thought it would be okay to take the risk and thus save his job. Little did he know, but he was already on the way out, and the entire crew paid the price. The recordings of him talking to a rep whilst on a doomed ship and the letters that the First Mate sent explaining that she thought (correctly) that the ship was heading for disaster are horrifying. Greed will always be the downfall of humanity.

The reason the HMS Notingham survived was not due to a "Miricle" It was due to the insane damage control efforts of her crew. The crew worked for days on end stopping the spread of water and shoring compartments and hatches. The methods devised and employed by the enlisted crew are now taught during Royal Navy training.

At the end of the day it is the marine architects who did not design a fool proof bow door. A simple cut off switch that deactivates all engine room spignels so the vessel can not proceed to sea, until everting is safe.

ARE YOU SURE THERE'S ONLY TEN??

One of the reasons proposed on the El Faro sinking that explained the captain's decision was the storm watching program he was using. The bridge crew was receiving accurate up to date information about the storm from NOAA and NWS, but he was basing his decision on a subscription service that had a 6 hour delay in information. Unfortunately for the bridge crew, the captain didn't listen to the crew's report that was received and instead listened to the subscription service. The engine stalled because there was a design flaw that only had one way for the engine to receive oil for lubrication and it was off to one side. As a result, when they did the turn in the storm added on to already having a severe list caused by improper tie down of vehicles being transported and water that entered through a hatch, the oil never reached the engine and a safety feature triggered the engine to shut down. It was determined there were several factors, but it ultimately came down to a poor decision to ignore the bridge crew's received report and stay on a course that lead to their doom.

You think these are bad situations, you need to look into squid fishing, im not sure if it was a Chinese or South Korean ship but it's insane what they go through for 2yrs in the middle of the ocean with little food and sleep.

So who else would be making ships if not man?

George Rogers, the Radio operator on the Morro Castle set the fire. He later was arrested for using a bomb to try to kill a Police Detective, and finally was sentenced to life in prison for 2 murders.

The first one wasn’t a battleship. Most likely a destroyer escort.

I couldn't watch this when the narrator called a Corvette class ship a Battleship in the first 8 seconds if this clip.

I have to say that the MS Estonia wasn't poorly built, it was a pretty good ship and wouldn't have sailed if it wasn't in good shape. There is a lot of controversy around the sinking but there is a pretty strong theory that MS Estonia was carrying military stuff, reports from the survivors say that before departing there was a delay where military cars stopped the traffic and transported a large cargo truck onto the ship. Many (to my knowledge) believe that there was Russian tech in there that they where shipping out to be analysed (or something like that), so it wouldn't be far fetched if the ferry was sabotaged and more precisely the hinges that the bow door was secured with. If memory serves some people did hear large bangs but thought nothing of it due to the storm. It was also prohibited, strangely, to go down to the ship and figure out what truly happened and strangely (don't remember if it was Sweden, Estonia or some other country) they covered the wreck in cement to "protect a grave site". So to know what truly happened is difficulty but surely the ship wasn't either in bad condition or poorly built.

the official report for MS Estonia was somewhat false on the account of the Russian government sinking the ferry, because the ferry was hauling soviet weapons and intel on that voyage. Then trying to cover up the incident by attempting to fill a giant hole in the side of the ship with cement and would explain the quick and sudden sinking of the ship. An explosion was heard from the people on board and an American dive team was sent there to recover the bodies and that's when they found the giant hole. it's a conspiracy but there is a whole mountain of evidence suggesting otherwise.
