Wow that coast guard guy on the radio should have been captain instead. That man has balls.
(ex) Commander Gregorio De Falco is now a politician and a member of the Italian Senate.
Correction.. he has authority, nobody has more authority than the coastguard not even the admiralty.
Arno Lourens just think about it for a second, you should figure out why
BONNTRAP GAMINGYT I’m Italian, he was responsible for coordinating the rescue with the captain. He is considered a legend here for trying to get the get the captain to perform his duty, and we cannot believe the captain did this terrible thing to the people on board. It wasn’t his job to rush but to make sure the people there were safe
Actually thats only what the media wants you to believe. They dont play the ENTIRE phone call.
*”There are already corpses Schettino”*
“How many corpses are there?”
*”You are the one that has to tell me how many there are!”*
That coast guard is a real one
Scretino stupit stupit stupit!!!
The captain said "he fell into a lifeboat while trying to help a passenger" lol
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 so unlucky man
@@marila1005 dont laugh you potato! if it was your family you would have been crying
He deserves life in prison for not coming up with a better excuse.
Q. What's the fastest animal of earth ?
A. Captain Schittino racing for the lifeboats to abandon ship before his passengers.
I really do think you spelled his surname that way intentionally...
Wrong but he's a close second. The captain of the Oceanos deserves that title.
You guys dont know about sewol captain?
@@rubychauhan7836 yeah watched the documentary about him too. It's unbelievable how all three of them behaved. All experienced Captains too.
@@KLC6432 the trinity kf vil, aful cress, selfish captains
Coast guard guy was an absolute legend.
Vado a bordo cazzo!!
I'm not defending captain, but coast guard was making captain to use ladders that passengers use to escape the ship, to climb up, and block them from further use while climbing.
Captain was coward for abandoning the ship but that radio call between cost guard and captain was totally useless in that critical moment.
So coast guard is also coward, not knowing what to do except to lose time terrorizing the captain.
@@jedanPirke nah. Get that captain slapped.
@@jedanPirke coast guard was understandably very angry, the captain was the only person at the time reporting on the situation directly so the coast guard know what to expect on the scene, the captain was downplaying it
@@jedanPirke The captain should've never left the ship to begin with until the very last man wasn't that his entire point?
The recorded conversation with the captain is chilling
Made me well up
I love the man who shouted at the captain, basically telling him what a pos is was. Rescue teams are fantastic people.
After having watched this, I think it is a miracle that most of the passengers and crew survived.
Sure, unguided running aground has saved most lives.
Must have been awful for the crew, trying to keep everyone calm and fearing for your own life whilst trying to look confident.
They were at 100 meters only from the coast. They just panic.
@@soleiltounsi6754 try to swim in pitch dark icy cold water when already in panic....even the dancers had a hard time to do the 20 minute swim.
@@soleiltounsi6754 that’s actually the worst thing that could ever happen. Even if you know exactly what you’re doing, when you panic it’s completely gone 😣
Thousands of heroes and one coward responsible for their lives. Revolting.
That 'coward' as you say helped saved lives by bringing the vessel back to land minimising loss of life. If the vessel had sunk in deeper water many more lives would have been lost.
@@steve75112 and the coward was found guilty of manslaughter and now he's seeving a sixteen year prison sentence.
@@steve75112 I think, you give him too much credit here. It would have been much safer for the passengers if they had evacuated the ship ASAP. On top of that, he lied to the coast guard and delayed help from rescue teams for more than one hour because of that. Furthermore, I am not convinced, that it was really Schettinos merit, that the ship drifted back to the land. After all, the ship had no propulsion after the accident. And let's not forget, he caused the accident in the first place.
Stephen Parr
If it wasn’t for that captain, who abandoned the ship rather than continue leading its evacuation, the ship wouldn’t have sunk in the first place.
@@kardy12 Very true
When the elderly man said “this is it we had a great life” it broke my heart 😔
They melted me 💖
think about the fact that now with the Costa Concordia's money they have a stellar life..
@@Cosmopavone nah, the pay was trash, something like 7000€ a person
Yes I started tearing up bro
To all the people's defending the captain:
Schettino was the one who sank the ship and he is not the saviour you think he is.
He made it go too close to the coast just because he wanted to do the traditional greeting to Isola del Giglio (a greeting that is not in the ship schedule but some do because of tradition). Schettino was careless just because he wanted to show off and, instead of caring for safety, he decided to do the greeting without even checking the path of the ship.
He also didn't contact the port security right away and informed them of the danger. He took time and lied, saying it was just a BLACKOUT after (and only after) he was contacted from outside because of a crew member that was scared and contacted a relative.
And I dare you to say that that didn't contribute to what caused the panic and deaths that happened.
So, if you think that "saving" most of the people from the disaster you made because you were careless, killing around 50 and leaving the ship before the others is what a saviour should do, then I'm speechless.
Try telling that to the families of those who died.
agree, he should go to jail, he did so many things that is common sense not to do out at sea and what to do, saved himself and relaxing in a hotel whilst so many people still trapped on the boat and people dead, unbeleievable, disgusting really, that man deserves jail time for each person that died!
@@Kim-vs4vb He did go to jail
Schettino is a big shame for the whole humankind, his behavior is disgusting, a clear example of cowardice and falsity. Those kind of ‘people’ don’t deserve to exist...
are there seriously people who defend him?
@@wiezyczkowata Yeah, there are actually people with such sick world view and see nothing wrong in his behavior.
the coast guard is so amazing! honestly the way he spoke to the Schettino is exactly what i wanted to hear. You cannot wait for the ship to sink before you ask for help
A lot has been said about Schettino falling into a lifeboat. But we mustn't forget that before that he also fell out of his captain uniform and into a civilian business suit. What an unlucky guy.
The saddest part is that everyone would've been saved if they didn't delay the abandoning of the ship. The lifeboats would've still been accessible when they just noticed the ship starting to tilt. Horrible management and the captain is a bleeding coward. He should've gotten 5 years for each life. Disgusting. He doesn't deserve to see the light of day again.
Everyone and the ship would have happily sailed on their way if the captain hadn't changed course in the first place
@@suzannekirkwood6392 true, he just had to make a salute to the nearby island
😪😪😪
that's prob why he panic'd when he realized he f*kd up
Just like the titanic because nobody should have died, titanic never had enough lifeboats, Schettino then wasting a lot of time. If those factors were overcome then nobody should have died 😔
I can't even imagine the pain the captain felt when he fell into a lifeboat and slowly drifted away to safety.
I’m dead that’s hilarious.
Firstly. My deepest condolences to the ALL THE FAMILIES / RELATIVES WHO LOST LOVE ONES ON THE COSTA CONCORDIA🥀🙏
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE. 🥀🙏
*******
The sheer terror, pain & 200% GUILT of what the Captain was COWARDLY LEAVING BEHIND!!!!!!!!😥
@@juliadaniels38718
😂😂😂😂
It was a January night so it was a must to spend it in the warmth of a cosy hotel. Possibly a room with a view he got.
Just to let you folks know. The captain received prison time of 16 years in 2015.
Hahahahaha yes! Sure!
Less than a year for each death.
Pos
only 16 yrs?....
@@jaxonwright2243 ahahahaha it’s Italy, what did you expect?!
@@evonnewawj ikr that is only half a year per death
The captain was unbelievable. Telling the passengers that everything is under control even though it’s not, going on the lifeboat while the passengers are left behind with no more boats to save them, and TAKING A CAB TO A HOTEL(?) while some passengers are still stuck in the boat. WOW HOW DID THIS DUDE BECOME A CAPTAIN IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
It wasn't his fault
@@kjw7556 If you’re referring to the sinking of the ship, he definitely carries at minimum some of the blame, but why would that even matter in this context. A captain should never prioritize himself over the passengers, he handled the situation horribly in multiple facets and for that reason he should not have been a captain, he clearly did not have his priorities set straight.
@@anifina163Yes. He has a voyage cabin right behind the bridge, so he is immediately available if required and when necessary.
I went on Concordia's sister ship, the Carnvial Splendor. It was a litrle spooky when we thought about the Concordia and those passengers. RIP.
@@kjw7556 Francesco Schettino, the captain of the cruise liner, was jailed for 16 years for multiple manslaughter after the disaster that left 32 people dead.
@@kjw7556who are you ...his lover 😂😂, the Captain should and is the LAST person to leave the ship.,,not among the first, he's nothing more than a callous YELLOWBELLY
Is no one gonna talk about 22:46 ??? "We've had an excellent life" OUCH!
I cried
It broke my heart!! I am really glad they survived this together.
they had resigned to fate. was nothing else much they could do. poor beautiful souls.
1912 - Titanic
2012- Concordia
Never go on a cruise boat in 2112
Lol 😂
noted
Svhettino was never allowed to tell his side of the story. He was completely silenced.
Thanks for the advise.
2112 ... include large spaceships.
Is anyone gonna talk about how her boyfriend had been given 3 baby’s and he had no idea where to put them?? Poor man
Paul Craig course not cause people died that day and a man holding 3 babies isn’t the most of everyone’s worry’s
My pp big
Xd Anarchist facts
Some say he's still holding them...
Their mothers were heroes, thinking of their children before themselves. Just hope they were all reunited later
I hope that guy knows Titanic wasn’t just a movie
Can't really compare it to the real sinking, unless you have some special footage of it nobody else has?
He kept comparing it to the movie because he’s watched it, but can’t compare it to the actual sinking because he wasn’t there to actually know what it was like
@Katie McFadden: With that said, imagine if someone lived long enough and went on both the Titanic and Concordia... yikes that would be some serious bad luck
fetchstix™ very
@@fetchstixRHD There was a nurse called Violet Constance Jessop who was on the Titanic and the Britannic when both sank, she probably would have been on Concordia if she were still alive.
I was a kid back then. In Italy this accident had an immense response on public opinion. The case stayed on the news for months. It was sad to watch. The ship stayed there for years before it was carried away to Genoa port to be dismantled. I remember to go to my grandparents house and seeing the carcass of the ship being demolished. It was haunting
That Italian coast guard commander is keeping it real.
So it was the passengers themselves that ended up saving many lives because they were the ones who called the emergency rescuers
💯
I would rather them tell me that it’s sinking than them telling me it’s under control to keep me calm if I was on that ship
Well I would say “everybody please remain calm and move to your lifeboats”
I’d say ITS SINKING ITS SINKING !!! JUMP JUMP
@@puccipuu1797 yes but we need to be reasonable, there are children and people with anxiety probably on there / were on there , so we need to have a calmer response, even if you know this may be the end
Exactly. Tell me the truth. Don't lie to me about the severity of the situation cause that's gonna make me freak out more lol
@@lockdownraider_4358 If you lie well about the situation to the crowd, you could save them by their own panic's consequences.
This made me cry. So sad! And it's outrageous that the captain only got 16 years. He abandoned ship and all his helpless passengers. And if that wasn't enough, he lied moments after he got to the safety of his hotel! He knew hundreds were still onboard and he had been repeatedly ordered to get back there. But he looked after number one. Disgusting coward.
He deserves liftetime prison, man life of dead people in the ship cant even be put into any cost.
Hope he never works on a ship again, :>(
me, as an italian, thought "well.. AT LEAST they gave him 16 years". knowing how it works here by having the right friends (the coast guard man lost his job right after, even though recognised a hero and praised by everyone). schettino before being sentenced, was going in universities talking about managing situations and such..wrote a book... it was going like he would just get a symbolic fine and end of the story. sadly, as other already said, he will serve more or. less half of those years.
@@danipunto-e-basta8714 waitwaitwaitwait what? the Coast guard lost his job? What's the excuse? The man literally did his job unlike the captain so what did they have against him to make him fall?
@@cabalobofenrol basically there was some arguing between him and some superiors. he was moved to a different, not operative, job. the details were never totally public, and yes, it was disgraceful. he did his job, and he did it properly. he then condemned the italian system calling it "twisted" for that.
Coast guard: "Captain you go back in there"
Captain Schitto:"Not today mate. Tomorrow for sure"
Dead
Not even tomorrow, too weak of character, really!!

Fun fact:
I actually DID search for this :D
[JKF Gaming] why haha 😂
We're doing this in geography and History so I watched it over again for my studying for my test today
That Captain was a coward! When you take the responsibility for that ship you're also taking the responsibility of every soul on board! In situations like this you treat every single soul as your children, you wouldn't leave your kids on a sinking ship so you don't leave the passengers/crew! If you can't put them before yourself then you don't deserve to be a captain!!
💯💯💯💯
I fully agree with this. He was a selfish soul who wanted a lush life and in the end that caused many deaths and ptsd disorders. In addition, I thought a captian was never meant to leave his boat
Yeah, sad truth is the Captain was having an affair with some Romanian woman, so although I wasn't taking sides on who is to blame, and when he is living that kind of lifestyle, he does seem pretty guilty to me.
But I also have the view that there is a bit of collective responsibility here as to this horrible tragedy.
yeah ;love to see how youd do in the situation . dont be so quick to pass judgement
@@steve75112 The general expectation is if you are a captain of a ship, you stay on board to keep your passengers safe.
That makes me mad that elderly couples wer left to fend for themselves. We need to provide better care and assistance for our elders. We all are going to be old at some point.
💯
I totally agree

Yes

Parker Playz sane thing i thought when I heard that
The sound of children crying is the part of the footage that breaks my heart the most
When the husband and wife are talking about finding nothing but swinging rope where the lifeboats should be and he says ‘we’ve had an amazing life’ 😞gave me goosebumps
I know absolutely nothing about ships, and even **I** would have been a better captain than that guy.
lol i dont think so
I don't think so, ship's have MANY,MANY different buttons and controls, it's not just a steering wheel and some lever,oh nonono. Stop saying that "oH iWoUld HaVe beEn BeTtEr" cause you wouldn't have.
Maybe if you would learn how to be a captain and all the ship stuff or whatever it is then maybe. English isnt my first Language. ;-;
Aye aye
@@steve75112 must be Schetinos pal huh?
14:32 "return to your cabins" sure..not like the ship is sinking and about to go over love.
and sending them back to their cabins can be much more dangerous, as people might end up stuck in their rooms, miles away from the lifeboats, if they evacuated when that lady spoke instead of sending them back, there wouldn't have been 32 deaths!
One can assume that that crewmember didn't know the full story and was working to the script she'd been given. She certainly wasn't wearing a lifejacket.
My response would have been "Nah, I'll stick around here and work on my suntan"
Edit: I probably wouldn't have been calm enough to say that! But I'd have stuck around near the little floaty things all the same
I would have told her to shut up and start working for everyone’s safety. The ship is literally tilting, how can she say such nonsense?
They the same thing to the kids on the sewol disaster (300 kids died :( )
@@horselover7744 I literally cried they were my age what I currently am 😭
The Captain shouldn't have been allowed in charge of a rubber dinghy let alone a cruise ship. Horrifying and terribly sad. Big respect to all the rescuers.
The Captain was the true definition of incompetency and cowardice. "I fell off the ship and I cannot get back aboard." Uh-huh
lol
Superstition: Never say “This ship is unsinkable” when on a ship because the outcome are unimaginable.
It’s not the phrase that’s the problem it’s the mistakes of the captain and bridge crew
It’s the mistakes of the crew. You realise the titanic, at the time it sank there was already a ship exactly the same size and specification called “the Olympic” intact, it could have caught up to those in the water from the titanic but it was called to stand back because of how it may frighten those in the water.
Agreed
Well, people that think it's just the mistake of the captain and crew... You are wrong. There is power in words. In some instances it's a be careful what you wish for type thing, and in other instances such as these, it's, don't tempt fate. The pen is mightier than the sword is not just a saying
@@JoeSmith-cn7ur WHY DID THEY TELL TH OLYMPIC TO "STAND DOWN" BOTH CARPATHIA AND OLYMPIC WOULD HAVE RESCUED MORE THE A FEW HUNDRED
The evacuation of Costa Concordia took over six hours, and of the 3,229 passengers and 1,023 crew known to have been aboard, 32 died. Francesco Schettino, the ship's captain at that time, was subsequently found guilty of manslaughter, causing a maritime accident, and abandoning his ship.
All my respect for the coast guard. The true captain!
when they kept telling people that the situation is under control even when it's not, i was reminded of the Sewol Ferry tragedy where students (who are trained to obey) were told to remain in their cabins even when the ship was already titled to more than 45 degrees.
Yeah, poor souls. Rest In Peace.
To think that they are rebuilding another Titanic boat ready for 2022, and sailing across the same voyage as the original Titanic did.... oof
Well the iceberg will be melted! No problemo
They said that 2 years ago. And last year. I don't think it will happen
My mum wanted to take me on that ship when it was finished but sadly she died of cancer 2 years ago
almost every transatlantic cruise go through the same path as titanic, its nothing new. I went on the queen mary II and its chill they go across like 50 times a year
and being made in China lol
It’s so sad 😞 heartbreaking. The only thing that saved them was that they were so close to the mainland. The captain is a coward. Titanic round two! Well done to that Coast Guard 🙏 honestly go's a long way!
Paradoxically, that’s also what made them sink.
Fed it also saved them, not all unfortunately
Exactly he could have made a raft for people and made sure children was the first to go on board the raft and just paddle to shore it isn't that hard and attach some stealthy rope to tie the handmade rafts together and just use stuff on board to paddle with it's not that hard 🤷♀️ i would have done the same if everyone stayed calm was in a line with there family all together make a hella strong raft for them
The captain of the Titanic isn't the only person at fault for its sinking. Long before she set sail, she had a fire onboard & a few other small issues. All of which weren't checked to see if she was safe to sail, let alone take passengers. It was a whole host of failures that culminated in her fate.
The captain of the Concordia however has no such excuse. He chose to put that ship on a course that he knew was potentially dangerous. There was nothing wrong with the ship itself. His actions - or lack of - made things worse after the ship hit the rocks too. Turning the ship allowed more water to pour into its sub - compartments, which caused it to list at that odd angle. It also left the ship vulnerable to the tidal currents & winds, blowing it off course, with no means to counter it. That sandbank was a blessing in disguise, otherwise the ship would've continued taking on water, causing it to tilt even more & become fully submerged.
The captain of the Titanic, Captain Smith didn’t abandon ship. He went down with it.
The same happened with The Sewol Ferry Disaster. The kids listened to instructions, where they were told to stay in their cabins instead of trying to survive, listening to instructions is what got them killed.
I just watched that yesterday before the Concordia. It was heartbreaking and painful. Those poor kids would've been living their dream lives today if only the captain did his job.
When you hear an Italian coast guard officer scream :"Christo", you know he means business ! Well done ! (6-2020)
4:30 - "he actually offered the girls to wear some dresses for him on Gala night..." Proof that the Captain's mind wasn't on his responsibility which should have been to keep everyone on that ship alive and well and safe for 7 days. Deserved his sentence ...and more.
Totally agree !! 16 years in prison for 32 dead people 😢😢
I was a captain on a boat years ago if I run aground I would initiate emergency protocols straight away Its best to escape the ship before it sinks enough to list to one side, No one on board had to die, if anyone dies it should at least be the captain since he should be the last to abandon ship not in this case he left but so many things done wrong
Well said mate, I was Captain of my Dingy as well and no one died, it was close though.
Where would we all be without our great youtube capitanos?!

If I ever find myself in such dire situation, I hope the person in charge is someone like the Coast Guard Captain. His voice alone would bring me back to my senses, he's a true asset to any profession.
Captain is always the last to leave the ship even if he is scared.
its not star trek
look up the sinking of the MTS Oceanos
joe walters it’s common ethic, you are responsible for helping them not the other way round
@@jahascootsyt4669 Its not just ethics. The captain of the ship carries full responsibility for the whole ship and the passengers. That's his job and its why he gets payed so well.
@@jahascootsyt4669 lets be honest anyone in his situation probably would have done the same thing, there are only few people in this world that can do what you say and we can train and prepare but until that moment cant tell if the captain or crew can handle the situation, at the end of the day everyone wants to survive and that mentality puts people into flight or fight mode, he should of stayed to help but some people just aint cut out to do it and it will play on his mind forever
The fact that there were thousands of people on that ship and only 32 died is incredible. Them 32 shouldn’t have died in the first place. So many more could’ve died
This was in part due to the quick thinking and experience of the Captain. Who bought the ship back towards the coast knowing if the ship sunk in deeper water much more than 32 would have died. He needs to be released from prison. And a public apology given to him
That makes no sence
It's silly to compare to a something taking place in the middle of an ocean. This happened in shallow waters. The majority of the passengers weren't really in any danger.
Stephen Parr That would be common practice nothing to be praised about
@@steve75112 There was no quick thinking of the captain. He did not save the ship, he abandoned it. This type of cruiseship is totally electrically driven. Once the electric power went down, they had no control over the ship. It's movement was a result of the waves and the wind. It was pure luck that the wind blew the ship back to the coast of the island. He could have a hero if he had ordered evacuation immediately after the accident, and ordered technicians to free the passengers who were trapped in the elevators.
The ship is tilted, "Return to your cabins everything is fine". Priceless.
The one Indian steward crew who did not make it lived in the other wing of my building complex in Suburban Mumbai, India. My brother went to school with him. There was a huge crowd at his funeral.
RIP to him❤️🌹
My condolences
Everyone aboard : WE'RE GONNA DIE
Kirsty : Ooh look at the water its so blue
I think that was the irony and why she said it.
I think shock and maybe "numbed resignation" takes people in different ways
It's called: Shock
@Jennifer Blane ooh thats harsh
still bothers me why modern ships dont have underwater cameras and sonar to help with the navigation.Sonar would have alerted them to the reef before they came close to it.
Rory Nesta indeed, its so simple and cheap to put some sonars under the boat
@@henkiet2180 not really though
NathanPlaysGames. Its cheaper than repairing the whole ship
Why dont you come up with the invention to do it. There's apparently an gap in the market! Quickly do it and trade mark it and go on shark tank you will be an millionaire... I want 2% of the business for helping with the idea.
@@TheAazah it already exists..just not on cruise ships.
Captain Nick Bates: "You have to speak to him in a very firm, very positive way..."
Coast Guard: "I'm going to make you pay for this"
Ikr i can feel that coastguard's frustration, man I cant probably stay calm AF.
😂😂😂😂
The retired couple's story is so heartwarming, made me tear up a bit ❤
Everything is under control even though the ship is on a 20 degree angle
And any more than that and the lifeboats can't be launched, but go back to your cabins please 😳
Yes but people dont know that,they panic ,some of them are trapped inside..
The infrared image from the coast guard helicopter of the ship on its side is truly incredible
When the ship began to turn the captain said over the speaker "please do not panic everything is under control" then he jumped in a life boat and ran like a coward,
The Coast Guard speaking to the Captain in that tone is the real MVP...Bravo! That captain is such a coward.
One of my great grandparents were on this ship and survived, one of the saddest stories that they past down was that they heard a child say “mommy, are we going to die” idk why but I found this sad af
Well they probably did survive since most deaths were from people trapped in elevators and low decks
you could even hear kids cry :C they sounded so scared i cant imagine what they felt :(
Captain: Remain calm while I get on a life boat and get out lol
Alight everyone else I go first
😂😂
In many of these stories there's a recurring theme: Don't trust the captain or any information telling you that everything's going to be okay when it's quite obvious that it's not
"Truth is helpful in emergency situations"
Like now
True- same thing happened during South Korea Sewol
Someone onboard probably said "This ship is unsinkable"
Except it wasnt Iceberg this time
Cliff: *slaps hull of ship* this baby is unsinkable
Crustaceans: *watching as the ship violently starts tipping*
Well ..... It NEVER sank !
MisterMarius lol 😂
gertjan van der meij only became the sea wos not deep enough if the sea wos deeper the ship would of all sank
ha
i fell sorry for all the people and children that lost there lives on friday 13th rip
There was 54 not really a lot
And the olimpc was demolite not sunk
Children are also people.
If u were one of the 54 you speak about u might think differently about 54 not being that much !! 😡
@@bismarckfamily277 it is a lot
Schettino is the apotheosys to incompetence. I was really sad when I heard of the Concordia. I spent some nice days aboard the ship some years before it was wrecked, during a cruise along the Brazilian coast. What a beautiful ship she was!
It could be worse. Search for the Sewol ferry incident (16/04/2014). The incompetence is bigger.
So what I'm hearing is: the captain fled inconspicuously, leaving a dancing troupe among others to do roll calls and maintain some semblance of order as evacuation got underway - until there were no boats left for them, so they plunged into the ice-cold Mediterranean in January and swam to shore?
Those kids are amazing, regardless of how they reference the Titanic.
They were. I've always wondered why aren't lifeboats just capsule shaped like a panadol. People get in, seal the hatch and drop it over the side or let it roll down or float up.
I remember hearing and seeing about this on the Australian news, such a sad horrific event that Captain was so incompetent it's unbelievable that he became a Captain of the ship.
luckily they weren't further out to sea it would've been even more disastrous, not that it was already a disaster
Coast Guard: “ Schettino you’ve abandoned the ship! .. Go back there NOW! “
Captain: “ It’s dark and can’t see anything “
Captain: “ How many corpses are there?..”
Coast Guard: “ You’re the one who’s supposed to tell me how many corpses there are! “
CHRIST!
You missed the best part. The coast guard told Schettino “you might have saved yourself from the sea but I’m going to give you a boatload of trouble”.
Can we just take a moment to praise that coast guard for ripping that so-called Captain a new one like he did!! What a legend!! 😂🙌🏼
Love the coastguard ! What a man 🙌🙌👏👏
Two years later the South Korean ship Sewol sank. The captain also told people to stay in their cabins. 304 people, mostly teenage students, died because they followed this order. The captain was one of the first to abandon ship.
If a ship hits something, there should be a universal law that all people assemble at the emergency stations UNTIL the ship has been assessed. How many times must this BS need to be repeated before they learn?
Ur pretty late whit the comment so.nobody is gonna read it
@@cerformerplays9371 Hi nobody. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment. Only an hour after I posted it too. You certainly are quick off the mark, aren't you?
@@cerformerplays9371 I've just read the comment. :)
I've read the comment!👍🙂
MV Sewol didnt hit anything. It capsized because it carried too much cargo than allowed, which was freely sliding around as it wasnt secured. They also emptied the ballast water tanks beforehand, so the balance point was on top of the ship which then started to roll
The convo with him and the coast guard had me in tears lol😭
My aunt was meant to board the ship at the next stop.
Going that close to the coast, the "salute" is actually not safe or admitted, but everyone did it all the time, as a show to tourists.
To us italians it's still appalling today.
The accident, the shameful behaviour of the capitain, the captain from the coast guard shouting at him.
Also appalling was the behaviour of several people who'd go to the coast to take selfies with the wreck of the ship.
An open wound.
*Cruise sinking *
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Captain: tHe SiTuATiOn iS uNdEr CoNtrOL, pLEaSe rEmAinE cALm
Daft captain
And leaves 🌚
That’s captain recorded tape before he left ship
He would do great as a politician.
Boat engineer: “provides the most advanced coordination system on the boat by working his head bald.”
Captain: “sinks boat”
Boat engineer: am I a joke to you?

@@jaybrown8009 spaceship hits a huge iceberg. Sinks.
The coast guard was epic
That Coastguard Commander ordering the Captain to take responsibility and control of the evacuation situation to get back on board should be awarded the highest award available. "Get back on board THATS AN ORDER do you understand me ?!"...EPIC!!!!
A finnish cruise liner hit rocks and got a leak just a couple weeks ago. The captain immediately drove the ship to shallow waters so it couldnt sink. And he stayed on that ship with the crew for I think days(?) after all passangers had been evacuated
This is what you expect a captain to do. I know pilots of large planes have to do training in simulators for various crash situations. Do ships captains do simulator training, the captain leaving the ship was disgraceful
If the captain was a airline pilot passengers would see him floating down in a parachute at the first bit of turbalance
Ships need the equivalent warnings sounded in a plane’s cockpit:
“Too Close Terrain”
“Too Close Terrain”
Man the coast guard dude giving it to the captain on the radio 👏🏻Well done sir 🙌🏻 What a boss!
35:52 This pilot sent from heaven! Bless him 💐 🙏🏼Thank you
Oh my gosh, their Coast Guard is a BADASS!
😎
Can't believe how long it took to realise the issue and abandon ship.
It is a common false belief that withholding information and pretending the situation is under control makes things better, even though the opposite has proven true.
@@blara2401 he didn't want to admit what had happened which is bizarre, they were asked if things were ok and responded yes it was only a black out
Respects to the Italian coastguards and rescuers, to make the best of Schettino's blunders is no small feat.
This man Scettino could have become a hero, he had the chance to set an example, he should have stayed there till the last passenger has been rescued. His name would have been carved in golden words in history, but instead he choose to flee and now is a disgrace for his own nation.
It was Shittivos fault that the ship hit the rocks in the first place, he was showing off to his Ukrainian girlfriend (Her underwear was found in his cabin by divers )He could NEVER have been a Hero in all of this, Fxxxing Coward !!!!!!
@@stormywindmill Exactly!! Finally someone says it!!!
Imagine. People here relate to the movie Titanic
But imagine not being able to speak italian while most of the crew can't speak anything but italian! And imagine being in open water with several nautical miles between you and land. No rescue helicopters, only small wodden boats, morse code and the hope that you won't freeze to death even if you are in a lifeboat.
One should never compare misery to one another, but imagine comparing running aground on a populated island to the loss of Bismarck or Estonia - both in open water.
I want you to know that the titanic and the Concordia where both ships and they both sank, they where both in water, they both hade no one to save them (first atleast) and that comparing these two tragedies is just showing us how these two events have a lot in Common, and this just how even though we have learned a lot because of the titanic these tragedies still happen and we should still continue to make the boats safer and we have to make better evacuation plans.
If we relate Titanic to Concordia we only mean it as “look this is similar to titanic” and we are not trying to offend anyone.
And I am sorry if we did.
Yea could easily swim to the shore there. And the ship didn't really sink it just turned on the side. Nothing like titanic
Even though it was near to land, the water would still have been cold. Obviously not as cold as where the Titanic was, but still cold enough for it to be hard to swim and possibly give you hypothermia.
@@Kornelius.1228 You don't even compare, i mean you don't even think to compare TITANIC disaster to Costa Concordia, Both sank? what do you mean? TITANIC is 4kilometers under the sea dude. Concordia just tilted and thats it. People could swim to shore and on top of that people could stay on the tilted ship for a week and wait for help, i mean they had somewhere to stay, they were not forced to jump into the water. By saying that i don't mean that it wasn't bad, ofc and it was bad and i feel sorry for everyone on the ship. But don't put those 2 disasters together for any reason, TITANIC disaster overall was at least 100 times worse.
@@GradusMike People of massive ship sinking compare it to the only other massive ship sinking they know!?!?!?! Who could have possibly thought of this?!
What an absolute horror that must've been. Even more so to families with small children.
Derek you super star 'I don't normally let her out alone' so glad you and Viv survived and what an amazing couple you are.
34:35 The coast guard speach
Me: stays on boat
Redbull cliff jumpers: Hold my redbull
Mr AzTeCzZ 🤣🤣🤣
I remember that tragedy I survived and thx that I start my passion of sinking ships. I was 5 years old I even see the Schettino getting on a life boat.
Is it true he had a hotel room waiting and was seen sipping champagne into the early hours?
Dont lie
Can you tell us what it was like
kudos to that coastguard- the man said what everyone was thinking i’m sure.
So much respect for all the rescuers. 🙏🏻
I work in a cruiseline industry and we always have guest drills and crew drills we even have port manning duties, we have safety cards for us to know what our position is. As what I was taught the Captain is the last person to get out of the ship.
