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
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. 🤙🏽👌🏽🐋🦈🌍
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!
@@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.
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.
BRIGHT SIDE .... bright side hi it's me mauertania Titanics sister from Cunard line anyway can you start making videos about me please and give me a shout out? OR I WILL MAKE THE OCEAN DRY UP
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you don't make it to a lifeboat, make sure to stay calm. Avoid jumping if you can, and stay with the ship till the very end. If your ship is one of those carnival ships for the Bahamas, you're lucky.
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.
🤣 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!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
There is no great suction after a ship goes down as portrayed in some films or stories. There is a little water displacement which can cause water movement and you may be pulled under a little bit but no greater than a meter you’ll be able to swim right back up to the surface.
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.
2:57 no they are not specially trained in rescue. They are far-from-home teenagers, more scared than you are. Its been said many times in the comments, why you shouldnt listen to directions but follow your gut. This video title should be: "The Only Way to Die from a Sinking Ship"
Well a very important point is . If you remain onboard the ship , till she completely sinks , never do that...because once ship sink complete it creates vacuum which pulls you down.
Lol guess it’s my own fault this ended up in my recommended. Thanks TH-cam for sending me this video after binge watching stories of ships sinking. May all who lost their lives at sea rest in peace.
2:45 The sewol ferry students followed the instructions. And where did that get them? The only ones who survived were the ones who DID NOT follow instructions. More than half of the passengers on that ferry died because they were told to stay put by the crew members, while the captain and the crew fled for their lives. Follow your gut. If you feel like you're life is at stake DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
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...
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 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.

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..
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 🤣🤣
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 changed my original comment so people will wonder what I said.
Omg that's so true
Right!
Haha lol

I have worked on a cruise ship and this is a vary accurate description.
Maybe il just sleep inside of the life boat
And just wait for other survivors if it sink.
LOLolololololol
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
The imagery and the comedic horns are amazing, it’s so cute
I don't prefer traveling by ship but I still think this is very important information.
Best way to survive a sinking ship is: never step foot on a ship at all!
haha right.
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.
“The ship is sinking, you on your own” me “bye life”

It's reminding me of... MV Sewol ferry incident in 2014.
BRUH this is actually really helpful for people that don’t know how to swim or survive a sinking ship like me
4:06 So... That looks exactly like the stairs from the cruise ship I went on.
I like the part about "if the boat stops rocking, you're sinking". Very reassuring.
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.
Who else likes the falling guy's face expression showing teeth and silly smile of confusion and disbelief?
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
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?!?!
Thank you always calm me down with stuff

Be calm always and stay safe
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?"🤣
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

claire walsh the Titanic?
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.
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.
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.
There is no great suction after a ship goes down as portrayed in some films or stories. There is a little water displacement which can cause water movement and you may be pulled under a little bit but no greater than a meter you’ll be able to swim right back up to the surface.

why not. Wood swims.
Herman Melville thought so.
Make sure that you keep moving if your in the water, rub yourself to cause friction to warm up, moving a lot can also help you warm up
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

Get out of the elevator 🙁😱. Always wondered since that was what happen to a lot of the people on Costa Concordia
I realise it varies with each company. But in my 30 years at sea, "Do not use the elevators" is one of the things they tell you at the first safety drill. You shoulda gone....
Also, if the ship lists sideways, try to grab onto sturdy things to stay high enough to get to the exit
