The Only Way to Survive a Sinking Ship
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2019
- Let's say, you're setting off on a long-awaited cruise; you're on cloud nine, and nothing could be further from your mind than paying attention to the safety precautions. But however unwilling you might be to waste precious vacation time on listening to safety instructions, you should remember that chances are, it could save your life.
Yes, the odds of being trapped on a sinking ship nowadays are quite low. But there are things you can do to survive if the near-impossible does happen. Hopefully, it’ll never happen to you, but just in case, it's vitally important to know how to react.
SUMMARY:
Take part in the first-day safety drill 0:51
What you should do first 1:44
Follow the crew's directions 2:42
How you can help others 3:21
Try to get to a lifeboat as quickly as possible 3:58
What if you have to jump off the ship 5:50
🚤 Why ships sink 🚤 7:39
#survivaltips #ships #brightside
SUMMARY:
- Try to remember where the lifeboat closest to your cabin is, and figure out how to get there if it's dark or the weather is stormy. Also, read the instructions for how to put on and use your floatation device.
- Try to stay calm - you have no time for panic. If you're in your cabin, immediately put on your floatation device and take anything else that may help you later.
- The next step, which might become a life-altering one, is to get to safety. And to do that, you need to follow the crew's directions.
- Regrettably, studies claim that only 35% of people manage to stay calm in a critical situation. If you're one of those lucky ones, help other passengers to get their bearings.
- If you see a person standing still in the middle of the turmoil, yell at them - it's an effective way to bring them back to reality.
- After that, concentrate on your top-priority task, which is to get to a lifeboat as quickly as possible.
- But let's say you look around and see no available lifeboats whatsoever and start to panic! What then? In that case, try to find some floatation device, like a life preserver ring, and throw it into the water.
- If there's no time left, and you realize you'll have to jump off the ship, always check where you'll land first. Otherwise, you may be hit by some wreckage, a boat, or other people, and end up underwater.
- The cold shock may pull you underwater even faster than hypothermia sets in. That's why it's vitally important to collect yourself.
- Surprisingly, every ship sinks in a different way, depending on its center of gravity and size, the shape of its hull, and, of course, the cause of the accident.

Hey there, BrightSiders! Would you rather choose being on a sinking ship or a plane falling down? ✈️😱
you're being very pessimistic what makes you think we want to be on either ?
Umm good question, I will choose a sinking ship as I will get a chance to watch the inner beauty of ocean
:D :D :D
BRIGHT SIDE plz notice me
Ship
BRIGHT SIDE cruise cauer theres internet😂
“This is the captain we’re sinking you’re on your own” - costsa Concordia Captain schettino
That actually happen?!
@@kadercompaore2010 yeah no joke, go check vids on that
@@kadercompaore2010 And not the first time either. Google Oceanos
Vada a bordo, cazzo!
Whats funny is that captain schettino is in jail because he got on a life boat instead of going down with the ship
If you get into a lifeboat, as soon as your boat is in the water, drive it or row it as far away from the sinking ship as possible.
If you are swimming in the water this is also important. Swim as far away as you can.
The reason is that large ships create a whirlpool, and if you are too close the whirlpool will drag you down. This is true even if you are wearing a lifevest.
Trust what I am saying because when I was younger, I spent 18 months of my life stationed on a Destroyer in the US Navy.
I have sailed across the Pacific Ocean twice.
I cannot stress this enough, ALWAYS GET AWAY FROM THE SHIP! People can underestimate the suction. I remember hearing about an old shipwreck where a large amount of the passengers died because they didn’t get away from the ship in time.
This Isnt correct Because it is more likely of you getting rescue if your nearer to where the ship sank.
As Rescuers Will Start Looking There.
Thank you for the tips!
If the crew tells u to stay in ur cabin and that everything will be fine, GET OFF THE SHIP
Edit: ooh i got likes cheers
That Korean ferry!
@@davespringer777 its called the sewol and also on the costa Concordia cruise ship disastor
@@randomezzer9730 yes, thanks for the names. I watched videos a while back on both of those. It was infuriating. Watching the captain leave that ferry while they forced the kids to stay inside while the government schemed a way to "look" heroic. Grrrr! And the other where the crew packed their stuff in lifeboats and took off. Beyond disgusting.
@@davespringer777 ik it makes me angry too those poor kids were dying in a way no one ever should
@@davespringer777 at least in the concordia the coast guard tried to persuade the captain to get back on the ship, in the sewol no one did nothing
Me: (ship is sinking) remembers bright side video
Me:(sees shark) forgets everything from bright side video
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣so funny
Just don’t look like prey
Becomes bare gill and search for a better chance to have a bite or to be Bitten!! 😂😂😂
The crew members who do their duty by staying till the end and rescuers are real heroes who need to be appreciated more.
Checkout the sewol fairy incident
exactly...
and those who don't, needs to be thrown in the water where the ship sank..
@@avika355 just came here after knowing that..
I'm boarding titanic 2. I'll need this thanks 😃

@@belkisperez307 my dude, step 3.
Hey there Bright Side! I work on ships, and another great life saving tip is to bring a flashlight, as well as a water bottle if you have time. Remember, if the lights go out, and if you don’t have a flash light, feel the wall, and go up, look for eliminated or glow in the dark exit signs/ arrows usually located near the ceiling as well as the floor. Wear bright clothes if possible and also try to put on clothed toed shoes. 🤙🏽👌🏽🐋🦈🌍
Your advice is better than the video
Thanks, that would really help! Hey Bright Side, add that to the video so people who don't like reading comments will know this too! And Mr. Crew Guy, let us know if you have more info!
Many of the people that survived M/S Estonia survived half submerged in 9°C (49°F) for six hours with hardly any clothes at all. What saved them was that they had to constantly struggle to stay as high as possible on an upside down lifeboat or upside down raft, their muscles producing heat and helping them survive hours longer than should be possible in such conditions.
Yeah that was a miracle..
They had to survive twice that fatal night
1) avoid staying inside heavily listing ship and get out as soon as possible
2) surviving the cold water
Amazing. That is something else... Thanks for sharing. 😊
Came here due to the Sewol disaster.
It was the saddest ship disaster in my opinion.
Same here
I changed my original comment so people will wonder what I said.
Omg that's so true
Right!
Haha lol
If I ever can afford to go on one I'm packing my own inflatable boat. Lol
Unless you become a Somali pirate
I'm pretty sure most of us won't remember that we saw this video😂😂😂
I will. Life hacks and survival skills are my thing! I love learning new tips and training.
Only life experience teaches.. So you could be very right lol
But then I do remember something from 3 yearsxago
Stom adding comments
Amira Hassan I rember something from 2020 or 2019
I will select the option:-
"Try to get the life boat as early as possible"
Awais chughtai i will select the option:- not even be on a ship in the first place
I always sleep in a life boat, not in my cabin.
Awais chughtai my tip: SLEEP IN A LIFEBOAT WITH YOUR FAMILY AND HAVE EXTRA WARM STUFF IF THE NIGHT IS COLD
@@grancito2 Make sure the life boat you sleep in is not on the side the ship will lean on when it sinks.
I will select this option:- “I’m broke”
4:49 - "The crew isn't supposed to leave the ship until they help all the passengers get to safety."
The crews of Oceanos and Costa Concordia didn't get the message.
That and the captain of Sewol Ferry
In sewol ferry. The captain got the rescue first because he pretended that he is a passenger.
@@aceemmanuel8590 I thought he ran away after telling those students to stay there and die
@@efee5446 He did, And then he ran away. He lied saying he was a passenger, And not a captain.
you also forgot britannic
On a cruise ship, you don't put on extra clothes, grab your valuables and luggage and rush for the nearest life boat, you grab ONLY your life jacket and report to your mustering station (or if you're not near your cabin, you just report to the mustering station where they will give you a life jacket) and then follow the crew's directions for quick and orderly evacuation. That's why you have the safety drill! Lifeboats don't have space for luggage and non-essentials.
Wow, good tips that I hope I never have to use!
Exactly
Me to
Me too
um
Maybe il just sleep inside of the life boat
And just wait for other survivors if it sink.
LOLolololololol
I was on the costa Concordia but me and my family reached the lifeboat
Really
Leo how old were ?
😑😑😑😑
It may be true tho,you never know
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That was a very tragic event. 32 people died. Cruise ships give me anxiety..
When my family moved back to the US from Germany in 1959 we traveled on a ship. I remember we had lifeboat drills and all passengers were required to participate.
The Estonia wasn't a "small" ship buy any means. It's ridiculous how you correlate the size with the cause of the sinking. She was a massive ship, built for thousands of passengers and hundreds of cars. What failed was not a simple "door" but the front gate of the car deck. I traveled on the Estonia about two months before she sank.
6:08 hahaha the way that crew member is smiling and waving like saying hello, man... we'll save you just be happy and don't worry.
I wish that's the way sewol ferry crews did😭
Yeah, those Korean students really benefited from listening to the orders of the "experienced and highly trained crew" before most of them drowned with the ship...
Best way to survive a sinking ship is: never step foot on a ship at all!
haha right.
3:54 im just imagining i see a random person standing still and i just come up to their face and yell😂😂😂
That was really funny
Me too
Werd
Killed it 🤣🤣
It's reminding me of... MV Sewol ferry incident in 2014.
“The ship is sinking, you on your own” me “bye life”
In 2010 we went on a Carnival Cruise and there weren't any safety drills. I thought this was weird. No lifejackets in the cabin either.
what?!?!
Just don't fall in love abroad the ship then you will be fine.. RIP JACK!!
I start singing my heart will go on from titanic
Oh no, this comment made me remember the footage of the students from the Sewol incident.
They were joking and one of them was actually singing it. Heartbreaking.
Titanic is my favorite ship
It is not from titanic.
I don't prefer traveling by ship but I still think this is very important information.
I like the part about "if the boat stops rocking, you're sinking". Very reassuring.
most importantly, PRAY to the heavenly father.
To guarantee that you die?
Best bright side
Lol
yes indeed. I thought no one would say that! (u just made my day)
pray does not help you. Only you are the only thing that can make differences in seas.
4:34 - Tbh if I am in a sinking ship and have no chance to survive I want to die this way.
Kenneth Pettersen right you won’t feel anything
BRUH this is actually really helpful for people that don’t know how to swim or survive a sinking ship like me
The imagery and the comedic horns are amazing, it’s so cute
Who else likes the falling guy's face expression showing teeth and silly smile of confusion and disbelief?
I have worked on a cruise ship and this is a vary accurate description.
4:06 So... That looks exactly like the stairs from the cruise ship I went on.
TO SHOW THE POWER OF FLEX TAPE, I SAWED A HOLE IN THIS SHIP.
Im from estonia and my landhome was close to the sinking place. now every time the wind is the same strong as it was then the ship sank then there is a bell next to the lighthouse close to us which starts ringing
I am fascinated by Estonia is like thr Titanic of our generation. You should make a video of your area to see how look like from the lighthouse
Do not enter the wheel house when a ship is sinking
In short,
1. Follow crew members' advices.
2. Find some floatation devices.
That's it, no need to waste your 10 mins!
question is should you follow crew. They might tell you stay in the ship while better get out of it
Me: studies everything about saving my life on a ship
The future: I never go on a ship
Sounds pretty foolproof to me. 🤔
All I can say is that you’re not like me
Even better: "what is a ship?"🤣
omg they didnt mention a vital point when u evacuate u need to go to ur assembly point or muster station before boarding a raft
Probably no one does that.
Never put on your life jacket inside... most ships (at least mine does) have green arrows or some form of exit strategy in the ladderwells (stairs). No food or water before 24 hours unless sick or injured. Don’t put on waterproof items just regular cloths to keep warm... more the better for long periods of survival. Always report something that is damaged... weird sounds better for a crew member to check it out then to leave it unnoticed. Once you are off the ship stay in the general area of the ships last location bigger and brighter objects are better seen. The list goes on...
yea yea, I also thouth - why he recoomends put life jacked inside ship. Yea on the other hand while you have jacket in hand, somebody else can steal it from you. If you wear the jacked , stealing becomes harder. But if ignoring stealing , then if there is full of water inside ship, it might move you up and make it harder to go throug doors. I heard that in planes - to use jacked not inside plane
We always need to plan what way to get out of a situation. When others are running away from danger the brave always survive. That way you can help others. Thanks guys.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
1:46 captain of the costa concordia after the ship hit the rock
Thank you for this video, can you make another safety video applied to an earthquake if people are inside building?
2:39 do not, and repeat: *DO NOT* put on rain boots if going in the water, they will fill up instant, and you will sink like a rock, as the water cant get out.
Why you even would have rain boots with you on cruise ship, i dont know.
Thank you always calm me down with stuff
Ships:**sinks**
Titanic:Am I a joke to you?
The 'muster' drill is where you learn to find and gather near your designated life boat. Also, crew members demonstrate how to put on the life vest. This 'muster' drill is mandatory, and failing to attend and refusing to participate can get you put off the ship right then and there.
I just love the duck on the deck
Wow I've just watched this twice...loving this video
Being a good swimmer definitely helps.
Early here hehehe Praying is the best thing we can do ❤️
Just praying is not the way to survive
It is
Then go to the lifeboats
As an atheist, I must respectfully disagree. I say get to the lifeboats asap if there are any. Take care.
I wasn’t scared about being on a ship/ferry before! Thanks for the brilliant video.
Kellington Link but now you know what to do, don’t you?
Hey thanks a lot. I really enjoyed this video, very informative 👍
Me: pretent to freeze
Someone:yells at me
Me:what was that for
Someone:I was panicing
I think ships should swim in pairs at least near each other, so in case smth bad happens, people could quickly use another ship and so it would be almost impossible to have problems, unless for some reason you are not able to get out of ship
This would be incredibly inefficent and could cause more problems
@@trippsimon8916 why incredibly?
This video made me scared of my future job.
Pay attention during the muster drill. Always make sure you know how to get to an outside deck. Consider carrying around a small flashlight in case the power goes out and emergency lights don't kick on for some reason. If you take prescription meds, have them in a go bag you can grab quickly. Expect to take the stairs, not the elevators.
Thanks again bright side.
Big heart for you💖
1:48 that’s what happened with the captain of the costa Concordia said Aka frenchesco scettino

Yup
Hi

If I was in a life threatening situation and I thought of my loved ones I would cry because I would be thinking that I might not see them again 😢😨

DJ Khalid... I always see you in comment area... Hehehe....
@@oniemorata1206 really hahahhha!!!!!
It doesn't matter if you are "willing" to listen to the safety precautions or not. The muster drill is required by maritime law and generally only lasts up to an hour. One hour ot of a week or more long cruise to hear information that could potentially save your life isn't really too much to ask.
Nice video BRIGHT SIDE!
Thanks for the great video

claire walsh the Titanic?
1:34 the window is still above water!
So?
It is normal. Some part of bigger ships always in water.
you are the best!
🤣 That"s me! My family was making fun of me because I was reading the saftey brochures after the saftey talk on the plane. "Yell at them!" Lol! I love your voice!
Alicia Foote whats funny about reading them?
Titanic no no no
4:47 tell the captain and crew of Oceanos this part
When your ship is sinking watch this video.
Bright Side will calm you down...LOL!
🤣
@RedGaming Studio
Then use Data
8:20 RIP RMS Titanic 1912-1912
Very informative and entertaining.
Plus a whistle and a torch would be helpful
I was once in a cruise ship that rocked so much i couldnt even sleep! That good though. Right?....
Whooo
As long as it's rocking, it's not sinking.
Thank you, but I'll just sleep on the deck instead so I have to do none of these:)
Love your animation 😁
saying this to passenger "we're on our own" is more realistic, and you might save yourself or someone. than "don't move" and the captain flews away.
Bright side is so very very helpful youtuber💖
Saadoden Patorai If you actually were on a sinking ship do you think youd remember this video
A way to survive is...well, dont go on the ship!
Then you need to know if the ship is going to sink. Also what if it does not?
Well you gotta do holidays sometimes and I’d chose sailing over flying everyday. You can survive a sinking ship but chances of surviving a plane crash are near 0.

Hello
Hello guys I have made a new youtube channel.
You will see never seen before content in it.
Do check it out. You will love it
watching this 4 days before a cruise :)
If in the water without availability of 'life boats', etc. and the ship begins if final descent ... swim AWAY from the boat as reasonably fast and as far as possible. As the ship begins its final descent, it may release lots of AIR from its interior into the water above .... and the air/water mixing may not be sufficient to keep you and your PFD afloat and you may simply sink in the zone of 'froth and bubbles'. ;-) .
General Rule for Sailors: Never laeve the ship b4 IT leaves you.
Only true for small boats.
@@k1dicarus sorry but you are Not correct true is this for small Crews. Of course this does not include passenger vessels
I live 300 miles away from the sea...why am I watching this?
"Yell at them"
Me: **shouts at old woman in microphone top of y lungs** RUN AWAY!!! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!
I was on the costa Concordia the lifeboat was not fun!
Better than the water eh?
No you weren't.
