I'm absolutely astounded that the crew was exonerated, especially the chief engineer. How on earth was a ship of that scale allowed to sail without a working communications system? Do they not go through some type of inspection before leaving port? I'd be quite curious to see a submersible take a gander at the ship to gather additional info. Great video! Certainly piqued my interest.

A huuuge insurance claim like that and the insurer isn't interested in retrieving the voyage recorder? Not even gonna take a peek and a photo or two of the sunken vessel? If that was an old paddle boat of mine sunk in the lake my insurer would probably have divers out to bring 'er back to the surface so they could somehow roast me. Even if I was outta town when the thing went down. Geez. Some guys have all the luck.

As a follow up to our brief exchange of texts in the 1st episode on Yogi, You did a great job of laying out the facts. There are too many unanswered questions. There are too many pieces that do not fit. I have found that when a business owner, or in this case a yacht owner, finds himself in a difficult financial situation they often have a difficult time handling the crisis well. The owner of this boat appears to have run a con job on a senile wealthy women. Once the financier's professional experts got involved the yacht owner was going to have to pay her back or file bankruptcy. He should have just filed bankruptcy and let the chips fall where they may. Once again, although my memory of going through the evidence in 2013 is 7 years old, you did a great job on the research.

They should build in areas you can clamp to on the hull and raise the entire ship. These things are expensive. There is no reason they should not be able to send a submersible down there and attach a cable to the thing, then tether it to a balloon.

I work on super yachts and there is absolutely something going on here. Way too many "inoperable" systems all at once for a cream of the crop super yacht of all types of boats and a new build nonetheless. Then conveniently out of 3 independent means of bridge-to-engine control room communication methods, they all don't work?! As well as the annoying alarm you get if all watertight doors aren't closed and secure under way? I do however question how you would convince a professional yacht crew to risk their own lives to help the owner commit fraud. The captain was probably in on it, silencing alarms in the 3 second inhibit period before the engineer on watch would notice them to get the boat to a state where it could not be saved and then just having crew carry on with their muster duties. Confidentiality clause probably drafted for the moments he told them to leave the log books and other documents that would normally have been someones duty on the muster list. Why the bilge pumps and bow thrusters were not used after all the engineers would have surely noticed a flooded compartment and lack of steering is a mystery on its own too.

Sounds like this yacht was a "LEMON" right out of the gate. Convenient that it sank in 1500' ft of water. No records, ships logs, captains logs, EPIRB didn't work. Something sounds fishy about YOGI.

adam travis - But hold on, be careful, I presume this video has shaped your thoughts around this sinking yacht. It’s the first and major piece of information I have ever heard about it. Be careful and thinking that accident investigators are a bunch of boneheads. Have you actually read the report from the governmental investigators? I’m actually someone who often goes to the direct source and read that information and does way too much research for stuff that doesn’t even matter. I’m no expert but I try to be thorough a decent amount of the time. But it depends on what mood I am in and if I have nothing to do or whatever. At this point I do not see myself doing any more than watching/listening while I work or do different activities. But I keep an open mind. Too often people are influence by the first evidence they receive and that sets their opinion even if they believe they can keep an open mind. Also people are often affected by confirmation bias. And example could be if they tend to think the government messes stuff up then they are extremely likely to believe that if there’s any evidence to believe so. Or another type of bias is presentation bias, which means people who are susceptible to that will believe the evidence that is presented in a way that “reaches them best“ rather than taking the evidence and weighing it based on the facts/information rather than production value. And the problem with biases are even if someone is told about them it doesn’t mean they can completely correct their mind to stop that bias. Even someone who is very good at correcting their bias won’t necessarily correct it completely, or they could over correct too. The mind is a very strange thing. That’s something that actually is interesting to learn about: how the mind works AND how memory works.

Luckily we just made it back to the ramp with the help of a passing boat and hustled to get it back on the trailer. I wouldn’t want the exhaust below the waterline after that.

Very well laid out reports ...absolutely worth all the time you spent on them. These 2 parts were as well presented as any high-end professional news company would/could do.

I'm sure "You're " fine and all is probably going to stay as it is, but that's how good your presentation was. Very much enjoy your channel Bob from Calgary

Everything about that is sinister. After Part 1 I didn't really believe that an owner Hellbent on sinking their own ship could manage to recruit an entire crew to carry it out, after Part 2 my belief has changed. I am beyond astounded, but that is certainly how it appears. I realize that the governing bodies had much more data, time and experience but does it not seem just a little bit fortunate that they seem to have sided with the owner...at least for the most part. It's all so shady that I'm nearly ready to go all in and declare that the suicide was made to appear as one. Incredibly interesting story, if you have more please do share them.

Keep up with your reporting...Its facinating

Owner realized his toy was an overpriced lemon so he chose to take the insurance value. Possibly only two or three crew needed to be aware of the plan. That is one possible theory. International authorities love to play hot potato with tragedies. There's no money in a hard pursuit of justice.

This is not a possible theory, it's a conspiracy theory and you can debunk it simply by doing a bit of logical thinking. As the video alludes to, no crew is going to sink their ship intentionally in 500m of water because the likelihood of killing themselves in the process is so high. This was an accident caused by a lot of things going wrong over a period of time combined with completely incompetent management from the captain. It's how every serious accident happens. Regardless of whether you are run over, get in a plane crash, fall under a train or go bankrupt it's never one thing that goes wrong it's always a lot of things that when combined together in the "right" order cause an unrecoverable situation.

As someone who has grown up on luxury motor yachts, it is heartbreaking to see such a beautiful boat sink. Deliberate or accidental, this is a shocking and sad story, and it is a shame that reputations came before official reports. It is also sickening to hear of the CEO of the building company committing suicide. Very good video, covered everything I needed to know.

This never happened.

If this was an insurance scam then only the owner, who was in financial difficulties, stood to gain. The shipyard stood to lose its reputation; the Certifying Authority also stood to lose its reputation, and the crew stood to lose the licences or worst their lives. If the sinking was instigated by the owner, how did he pull it off? The most likely explanation is that it was brought about by a series of design flaws compounded by a tired crew. It’s easy to blame the crew, but that had at best a few hours to identify the faults and rectify the situation, assuming that it was recoverable. The investigation had months in which to identify the issues. Responsibility lies with the shipyard and the Certifying Authority.

The thumbs down are from the crew members.

This occurred to me as well. They couldn't really blame inspections and certifications in most main design categories, since they were the ones who inspected it and certified it. Also it occurs to me that even if the Shipyard had given the OK to a new refitting or work, isn't the crew supposed to do their own checks. It seems that nothing worked on this ship, and nobody knew how to deploy contingency plans when main systems failed. You would think that the crew had to have some major part of the responsibility for this even if it was faulty equipment or refitting, since it seems they either did everything wrong, or not at all. The only thing they were good at was calling the Grecian Coast guard with their wallets and passports in their trousers. Then again, what do I know. I am not a sailor. My Dad had a boat, and we had fun as kids, I've always wanted one but haven't had the time or money. So I'm no expert. But as a fan from afar, this just doesn't seem plausible. Why weren't the pumps used. Why couldn't they manage to manually get at least a neutral rudder so they could steer with bow thrusters at low speed. Again. Im no expert. But it seemed like this could have been handled better. I think there was either complicity, or fatigue and panic. But I don't want to convict anyone falsely.

Use your brain sir. For what you are saying to be correct every member of the crew must have decided that they were prepared to risk their lives by scuttling a ship in the middle of a deep sea. If they wanted to do an insurance job they could have chosen a lot of safer places to do it that are nearer land. Even if they had decided to sink it for insurance you then have 15-20 crew members who would all need to be in on the ruse and have the same story and be loyal to each other until the end, despite only having met a few months prior. Then of course you have no idea when the bulkhead door would fail, or the engines overhear so you might get to your destination before anything went wrong. In summary, there a lot of easier ways to sink a ship than this that don't come with a lot of unknowns and risks. Conspiracy theories are easy to debunk when you use a bit of logical thinking.

A new boat with 8 watertight doors, bilge pumps flood alarms etc, something does not make sense here. There was an immense screw up to sink this boat, accidental or with intent hard to figure!

Excellent work! Thank you very much for the upload.

Wow. Not only did you keep my attention thru all of part 1. But i actually watched part 2 too! 👍👍

That story by the crew sounds like absolute crap. Especially the engineer's story. Both comms "fail" so he goes up to the bridge to shutdown the engine when he's less than 20 feet from the engine shutoff. That makes absolutely no sense.

Hatches were left open. There’s no way that door would be blown off.

Interesting second part. Love the “Hunt for Red October” type-sounds.

This was a very interesting Mini~Series you put together...Yogi was definitely riddled with issues. But I would have to agree with the official report...A multitude of issues and errors collided simultaneously resulting in the loss of a large vessel. Thankfully no lives were lost...Well minus the CEO who committed suicide.

I am absolutely astounded. Did the insurance company pay out? We're the crew paid off. This stinks, I would not be happy at all.

I don't think that an insurance would pay this. i don't even think that the yacht was payed all at once. probably the builders company will pay for it or their insurance.

Interesting conclusion. Well... sort of. The multiple errors/situations being lined up and occurring in perfect order, I believe is called the ‘Swiss Cheese’ effect. Thanks for the video

A brand new yacht, No data recorder, No communicating devices employed on board, a series of unfortunate events, and a cascade of failures, seen from the specs you offered when she went in for all of that pre-sail work, wreaks of major incompetence. When the Oceanos sank off SA, it was a water incursion below deck. All the "water tight door work," and the punching of the studs in beach club 1 and 2, seem to be a starting point for sinking. I think the vessel was sunk intentionally. Nobody cared to collect logs, but they got their passports and certificates. Why did nobody think that was a bit strange, yet that's what they did. When people start killing themselves after a disaster, you know something is fishy !!

@@clayz1 Hi. I was trying to flesh out the work they had done on the beach club 1 and 2, and the possibility that the door failed because of the work done on them, i was not trying to intimate that they burst open, but failed in some manner as you said. I guess I worded it not so well. thanks.

These were two very cool videos! Thanks for keeping the content going.

Very interesting. Well presented. Thank you .

Thank you. Very interesting content.

Why the full speed in rough seas? Was the captain expected to arrive at the destination at a certain time by the owner? Or he (captain) just liked pushing things to the limit? In any case, note to self: no beach club when I commission my super yacht!

@felixcat9318

The weight of the extra fuel bunkered would have been helpful in sinking the vessel. The captain was doubtless speeding to get to their prederermined scuttling location to give them sufficient time to sabotage the vessel beyond its point of recovery, and to ensure that their rescue would be carried out in daylight...

Another excellent video. Been watching you for a long time and your getting better and better with every video. Great work.

Full power in weather, working all day on night of departure. Sounds like management was under time pressure. Good Captains and Chief Engineers don’t allow this kind of pressure to be exerted on them. We say whoa, and shut ‘er down. Same thing happened with the El Faro. A multitude of vessel issues, but not fatal ones, except for crew incompetence and lack of balls to stand up to owners and managers. The new owners and shipmates that these guys work with should consider themselves warned.

Great video good information. What a beautiful yaught

I worked in the Super Yacht industry a few years ~ some "colourful" characters in there .. The deepest part of the Med , amazing how many Yachts sink there !!!!!!

Haaah! I hate to call exhaustion incompetence, but sure looking more and more like the crews fault than fraud to me.👍👍 good to see another vid!! Cheers!!

This whole thing is so shady. LOL

Very Interesting! Several unanswered questions!

Very very good content as usual but this video is truly very very informative.

I don't understand how so many things were broken on a new boat after it had already been in for warranty repair. There had to be either sabotage or just crazy incompetent people involved.
