It seems a little unfair to blame the helmsman as much as the captain -- at least, until he rabbited. The helmsman probably didn't realize how out of his depth he was. It's Costa wanting to save a couple tens of thousands in salary that put him on the bridge.

Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong on that ship went wrong. -Overconfident captain going at 16 knots toward shore, -Said captain refusing to take responsibility, causing the rescue operation to be there far later than it should have been (and not bothering to stay behind to help evac), -Hull breach occurred in the absolute *worst* possible place due to the helmsman going into panic mode and making a wrong turn (even a head-on hit might have been better - more initial damage, sure, but at least the generators are intact). If just one of these things didn't happen, the Concordia could still be afloat. Everything about this situation was just terrible.

In aviation, there's a model used to explain incidents and accidents called 'Dr. Reason's Swiss Cheese Model'. It's basically exactly what you're describing here. A series of safeties were circumvented, putting holes in the layers of protection needed to prevent an incident or accident, and those holes allowed a course of events to play out and cause an accident. It's not just one thing that causes an accident- it is a series of things going wrong or being skipped.

So who are the "good guys", so to speak, in Italy? Which party?

I work on vessels a lot smaller than this but what IH described is very much the same as what we have on our boats, Because of the way the the switches/relays work, the minute a system loses power it will instantly swap to another power supply, So I think you are both correct. Until the E-Gen is supplying power, the batteries will take the load and keep vital systems running. When power is lost from the E-gen for the last time however, the batteries will power the emergency systems until they don't have enough stored power to do so anymore.

It does annoy me that people actually thought Scatino abandoning ship while there are passengers still onboard was ok, literally in the video that has that phone call the audio came from people were defending Scatino's decision instead of understanding that for the coast guard to perform their tasks in these operations the Captain MUST be present at all times to assist them. Its why De Falco was so pissed in the first place that Scatino abandoned ship and why he was ordering him to get back onboard as he was AVOIDING legal responsibility for the crash, its part of the reason why he was put on trial in the first place he tried to avoid legal responsibility for an accident he was part of causing, its the same situation when someone gets a Hit and Run charge when they hit someone and do not stop to make sure the individual they hit was ok.

@@serPomiz So it seems that De Falco has actually some good foresight and can tell when something's going to go wrong.

I am not a ship engineer, served on a U.S. naval ship in a former life and only really knew the basics of how that worked. but I am, by trade a network engineer and in all my experience, the battery systems whether it's for a rack full of routers and switches, an entire datacenter packed full of servers, or an entire ship is pretty much how you described. the batteries provide power until the emergency generator comes fully online, and one of the tasks that the emergency generator also does is begins recharging the batteries in the event that it too is lost the batteries can give you the time to save what you can, and get out. I'm sure he's mistaking the warm up time for the generator, with a second outage. as for placement, the ship I served on had its emergency generators (yes plural) were located either 1 or 2 decks above the main generators so there was a chance to get any flooding under control, it was also placed closer to the centerline so water couldn't flow directly into the space, but that is military design, not civilian design, sortof like comparing a hotel to a bunker.

Wow! I never expected the Q&A reaction. Pretty good!

Ooh, it would definitely be interesting to see our resident nautical expert water man review the Gentleman Pirate videos. A very interesting tale of a man on the high seas would be perfectly suited to this channel

Love how this guy wasn’t a know it all about everything. There were things he was confident in, and on other subjects where details were missing, he simply gives his experience/expertise and says “that’s how it is on the ships I’ve been on, I could be wrong though”. This is exactly the kind of expert I like to listen to. A smart man knows what he knows and does not know and will not be ashamed of not knowing something either or try to fluff things up to make them not look dumb. Awesome videos dude. I hope people learn from your videos and do great things with the information.

If I was a ship engineer on that thing, I would have been sweating solid bullets before we even shoved off because of how bad the design is.

“Not a morning person.” I feel your pain. But the ol historian mentioned you? Damn that’s worth waking up at FIVE in the morning!

So basically, when steering a ship in my opinion, you're driving a tank in sand. Sand is about the equivalent to water when you have treads instead of rudders. Instead of steering like a car with forward rotation, you steer like a tank that rotates with the entire body. Add in the factor of sand's loose nature, and you have low friction, something that can cause a tank to turn like a ship. Not sure if this analogy is clear enough.

@andrewlucia865

2 жыл бұрын

Not... Quite accurate. I'm kind of surprised that Vince didn't actually clear this up himself. Ships turn using the rudder, which is located at the back end of the ship. Outside of using the bow thrusters, which Vince mentioned wouldn't have helped much, the bow doesn't have anything to make it move side to side, so it acts as the pivot point on a lever. The rudder is what turns the vessel, but the tip of the bow is the pivot point of that turn, the ship turning by swinging the stern around the pivot point. Basically, a car that steers with its rear wheels (or how a normal car steers when reversing), instead of the front wheels.

Wouldn't you want the main engines spread out, like have 3 near the front and 3 near the back, so then if one of the engine compartments flood, there's still a lot more room before the other 3 get flooded? Or spread all 6 over the compartments? Edit: Oh right, it's a cruise ship...

Just to expand a little about De Falco's situation. His "demotion" in Italy is speculated to have to do also with his rise in popularity and subsequent use of that popularity for personal gains and also for stepping over an area that wasn't under his jurisdiction, ie the Civitavecchia Coast Guard control station. Also while praised for his efforts, he and the Coast Guard have been criticized for not acting faster and for their lack of knowledge on what was happening, especially when it was a call from a family member of one of the passengers relayed by the Carabinieri that started the whole thing. Nonetheless he was granted a position as supervisor in an newly created office of the Italian Navy's logistic command, in 2016 at his own request.

Overall, I hope you very much enjoyed this. You kept mentioning points where you were only including more of the video because viewers wanted it- I hope you enjoyed including it

SailorVince, as a real life Navigation Officer turned KZreadr what is your opinion of the 1923 Honda Point Disaster? Do they cover it in Navigation Officer training? Have you seen Drachinifel’s video on the topic? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Point_disaster kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYiqx6mIitKXj8o.html

In the flesh

i went on 2 Royal Caribbean cruises in the late 2000s and i remember we completed the safty drill before we left Florida to go to the Bahamas. had to put on our life jackets and go to our muster station thing and were accounted for.

I feel like a Cruise ship is one of the worst places at Sea an Emergency can happen. In a commercial or Naval vessel, everybody is able-bodied, knows marine stuff, and is more or less just responsible for each other and that’s it. On a Cruise ship, you have hundreds of people who don’t know crap about being at sea, may be prone to panic, and not everyone is able bodied (elderly, children, pregnant women, disabled, etc), meaning that you have a crew of less than 100 taking care of 300+ people in an emergency. I am not a Nautical person so I may be missing something but excellent analysis.

Yes, you should react to Internet Historian’s Gentleman Pirate video and Sam O’Nella’s video on the USS William D Porter

$570m on a ship $5.70 on a helmsman. Let's goooo!

Electrical engineer here. So, I have no clue what the requirements are for ships. But, for buildings in the US (covered by NFPA/National Electric Code) generators operating egress lighting and other life safety systems have to spool up to full voltage AND the transfer switch has to close in under 10 seconds. So, I'm sure the backup generator on a ship can attain the same performance since generator manufacturers already know how to meet that 10 second requirement. Also, if you have battery backup, it's usually a UPS system, where the instant power is lost, the battery kicks on automatically. Which would be extremely important if you're relying on a radio system to provide continuous communication with shore. However, once the generator kicks on, you should have the UPS on the backup generator, so even if the generator works at first, it will switch power back to the generator AND recharge those batteries so they still have a full charge if you lose the generator.

Cool video!

That, and there really was one fatality as of that moment. The recording, though funny, is chilling because of it. Yanks you straight out and reminds you how dire the emergency is and just how monumental of a fuck up the whole thing was.

33:45-33:58 went from really serious to stupidly funny lul

I’m glad I found your channel, your reactions are very informative. I think you should react to Maritime Horrors on YT. There is a whole series of sinkings and such.
