Back in the 1990's a man started a project from a dream he had to build not only the largest ship ever conceived, but to combine a family cruise line, airport and residential community all in one. His dream carried on through decades after and now seemingly stalled, a new CEO is taken the helm. This is the full story, of Freedom Ship.

The flight deck would not be that busy.
How do you think people on Aircraft Carriers feel?
Lol right
can you imagine anything worse than living on a mile long cruise ship underneath an airport lol
I never thought of it that way LMAO
Good point
I wonder who would be stupid enough to buy an internal apartment with no natural light and more than 50 m from it (I assume this thing would be quite more than 100m wide). These days cruise ships are struggling to sell internal cabins for more than budget prices and the vast majority of the apartments on this monster would be internal.
Yeah... Dying comes to mind.

Imagine being born, raised, going to school on this thing, accepting this as completely normal, and then having “I need to leave this town” thoughts
It reminds me of a y2k-ish movie about a teenager in a world where some people live and grow up on space stations around Earth

@@counterfit5weird thought but imagine the sort of crises that would happen with a ship like this. I mean this sounds ripe for a Hollywood plot, where a whole bunch of planes full of para-military group or terrorists or some ‘rogue nation’ fly onto the top airport and hold it hostage. I mean there’s way too much potential for mis-use here since its a floating island that you can lock off if you want. I mean its an aircraft carrier times 50

Why life rafts when there's air planes
When you realize that the ship is a oversized aircraft carrier.
Your not wrong
I was thinking the same. Would be a good use for a demilitarized and retrofitted nuclear aircraft carrier. Advanced water world.
An oversized scam. But you see, the bigger the scam, the more morons you can sign up to finance
your dreams of the billionaire's life in retirement.
@@jerrydiver1 Can't argue your logic.
@@jamesritacco1693 his logic is better than the people that are “building” the ship
Wouldn't just a normal storm be a huge problem for a ship like that?
I doubt there are swells big enough to even make this ship break a sweat. But such a big ship would struggle to stay away from them, so would probably be suffering constant damage - like those little docks on the back... they'd get absolutely swamped in a big storm.
@@JaidenJimenez86tbf although the ship is so big that it could withstand storms and waves and not bob up and down. So instead of being affected like a cruise liner in turbulence, floating with the waves, it’d be much worse. I mean for example houses that move with earthquakes can survive them better than rigid fixed tightly-constructed houses. This boat wouldn’t move with the waves but it would just start getting damaged by them a lot
@@JaidenJimenez86 Also, the sheer size of the ship would mean that any heavy swell would create constant bouyancy voids under the hull (gaps between waves where the hull isn't supported by the sea), and the sheer weight of having an office block *with an airport on top* would cause immeasurable stress to the hull. Unless the designers have invented some magical alloy that would be able to resist these stresses, the keel snapping in half at some point would be a matter of when, not if.
Imagine the amount of power needed to keep this thing on course if there is even a mildly strong side wind, its basically a mile long sail
generally larger ships tolerate bad weather better than smaller ships
They should just make a disaster movie of this and call it a day.
There already is one. It’s called the Poseidon Adventure
@@psychlops924 i know about that one. I'm talking even bigger scale :D
They’d still have to make at least SOME of the ship to shoot the film
I hate it but yes.
Well it’s mayb not a movie but it is very close to what we now have we have floating cities these cruise ships have everything what u need shops, restaurants, spa, baths, cinemas and a whole theater
Titanic: takes 2 hours and 40 minutes to sink
Freedom ship: 1 week 4 hours
and somehow 19k ppl still die. lol.
Imagine trying to get a lifeboat out. Oh the humanity
@@xenonsha3324 lol
It would probably hit the sea floor before it sunk fully lol
@@agasxt at least you didn't edit your comment for that
As the History Guy always says, "Every great story involves pirates." I'll bet this already does.
When I look at the "Freedom Ship" project something straight forward occurs to me: Change the business plan. Design somewhere between 6 and 10 ships that join together to form the Freedom Ship. Start with 1 ship. Then use the revenue to build and join a 2nd ship to it. Then keep adding on. Beyond gaining revenue / income this would also provide redundancy for essential services (water purification, sewage treatment, electricity, propulsion and ethernet / wifi) It seems to me the redundancy would be necessary for this vessel to be viable for the # of people and to avoid a humanitarian crisis.
Seems like the most logical way to build it up slowly. But even then it seems like you'd have a tough time combining the structures and reinforcing them for the scale imagined.
A Transformers Combiner! Now when Godzilla starts to attack Tokyo, it'll become a super robot for battle! 😆
Look at the brain on Ron! It wouldn't get past that first ship, maybe two. Remember how exciting the moon landing was? Yeah, they had to start canceling those after a few years when the public grew tired of it.
Good thinking. Even then I doubt it would be very successful, but at least it's much more plausible than the original idea
I see, kind of a Freedom Voltron.
I don’t think the airport on top would please a lot of people
It would sure ruin a relaxing afternoon by the pool to have planes constantly taking off and landing a few floors above you.
It would certainly entertain plane enthusiasts
I think a lot of people would probably find it interesting to watch planes landing so closely to them.
After all, American supercarriers are a thing. And despite having a gigantic steamcatacult LAUNCH aircraft off of them and have them land - rather violently (Naval aircraft have some of the most robust landing gear of any aircraft design for this reasons) - and at all hours of the night. Doesn't prevent them from sleeping.
EDIT: Read on. No, actually, it's not as loud as you think it is.
@@matchesburn military personnel aren't known for their picky sleeping habits.
@SteelRodent
I don't think you realize the difference in decibels that a military afterburner turbojet engine makes in comparison to a civilian aviation turbofan jet. I can guarantee you if you did you wouldn't think your argument was relevant - because military aircraft on carriers use afterburners on turbojet engines and are insanely loud, much more so than turbofan engines on jetliners (and worse yet for your argument the engines on airliners which are already much quieter turbofans have had sound dampening engineering incorporated into the mounting and engine - next time you fly on an airliner and if you see jagged engines on the outside rear of the engine - congratulations, you've just spotted sound dampening systems). Yet, again, somehow people below the deck on aircraft carriers aren't going deaf like they're inside a constantly ringing bell or something.
This sounds like it has a “massive sea accident with record number of deaths” potential
Haven Price
It has titanic potential energy
Swampy the titanic didn’t have smaller cruise ships at its rear or an airfield on its roof
@@gavib4246 the titanic did, however, have tiny wooden boats that only accommodated 2/3rds of the ships population... the lifeboats on THIS thing would be literally small apartment blocks lol, food for days
the runway on top is about the dumbest use of space possible. these guys have no chance of making it happen.
This time it's really unsinkable
I think SimCity has a word for this.
Arcology?
And from a later game: Columbia, the independent floating city...
An Arcology (Architecture + Ecology) usualy describes more of a self sufficient city in a building, so not just living space but farms & factories as well. Still, would be an interesting upscaled version of this ship :D
This is a sick setting for a dystopian movie.

@@King_Zog_I because it would sink
@@roberttakacs2312 not necessarily. A vessel this large would have so many compartments that you would need hundreds of millions of liters of water to sink it. You would have days to respond to a rupture in the hull. I know "no ship is too large to sink", but this very well could be it at this scale.
@@yagorbalotsin Do NOT say it's unsinkable NOT EVEN SOMETHING SIMILAR... DONT THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!

This is like those old retro future city designs from the 20’s-30’s (like the movie “Metropolis”): They seem cool and nifty at first, until you start thinking about actually living there and then realizing it would probably be a miserable experience (i.e. lack of proper green/earth/nature space, too compact, kinda ugly, really desolate, etc,.).
the water this pushes away is enough to flood the netherlands

It's called water displacement
@@drowningin thanks, english is not my native language

*yes i was getting quite thirsty*
I'm not paying $1 million for a condo with airplanes landing on the roof.
Mary W i would imagine that a noise suppression system would be put into place to deal with the sound, and possibly a hanger deck for plane storage which gives some distance between you and the runway
I was thinking fine. It has aircraft landing on it . . . Okay no big deal. We have aircraft carriers. I'm just wondering what their plan is when one of these aircraft comes in short or crashes into the side of it at landing speed. It would basicly become the WTC of the ocean floor.
doesnt really matter how much noise suppression there is, go outside the ship and it would be like walking around an airport
Mary W Mostly coz we dont have a million 😂
@@omnicognatee true. with all that plan for more walking space, pretty sure not a lot of people would use it.
Gotta love those big dreamers. If it was up to me and my pessimism, nothing would've been made. I really love that guy's passion and optimism! I hope this is made!
I remember both the show and the articles in the magazines back in the day. It was one of those mega projects that have been floating around as either planned projects or ideas for a future endeavor. One idea back then that comes to mind, and obviously not built, is the Tokyo Skytree. Hanging skyscrapers like Christmas ornaments off a pyramid shaped super structure over a good portion of Tokyo bay.
Skytree was actually built
This ship could get hit by an iceberg and the people in the back wouldn't realize for two weeks lol

Except it's not
@@jlin1519 star citizen is shit because it's a fucking video game that somehow hasn't released yet after eight years and 300 million dollars. Freedom Ship is a fucking cruise liner apartment complex that is too big to complete.
The idea of the Freedom is interesting, however all I can think of is what would happen if it sunk. Literally it would be the biggest ship sinking/deaths at sea in history.
The deep sea creatures would praise God for all of the corpses raining down to feast on. (Marine snow basically.)
I think if this were to ever happen it would probably end up just sitting off a couple of miles from the shore of some Caribbean tax haven and not adventuring around the open ocean like we're imagining
It probably wouldn’t be able to. If this thing were to get caught in a storm in the middle of the ocean literally tens of thousands could die. The boat would just have too many weak points
@@fart63 - study it. Plenty of material out there to read up on. For modern Marine vessels that are properly constructed, the bigger you go, the sturdier *and* more stable you are.
All the hysteria about ships breaking in half in storms involves old &/or ill-maintained ships. Again, go and read up about this stuff.
Considering the billions it'll take to build, the Operators/Managers will have a *major* incentive to see that it stays in good condition.
@@ephennell4ever or they will do the opposite of that to save money since it already costs so much lmao. People seriously underestimate the power of water. Every ship is sinkable. Anyway, only counting threats in the water is foolish, this thing could be a terrorists dream. Isolated “country” in the middle of nowhere with thousands of extremely wealthy people on board? Will take hours for rescue to get to the boat in the middle of the ocean (if they’re even aware it’s happened). Every aspect you look at it from, this ship is a disaster trying to get funded.
Sounds like something I would have imagined when I was 9 and nothing had limits
Ko
Yeeeee i remember those days
This ship is some shit straight out of warhammer 40K
And i drew flying cruise ships🤣🤣
I knew better then that when I was 9 lol
Is anyone else concerned as to how this ship is supposed to turn
Details, details
Her rate of turn would be very concerning , also her stopping distance... your standard ship(cargo, container etc) has a stopping distance of over a mile. Also how many thrusters would they even put on it. So many questions.
360-degree azipods
@@ayoutubechannelname perhaps... it may be feasible for azimuth propulsion. While the concept is rather interesting, a vessel of this size would surely put everything we know about ship construction and design to test... would love to see a model of it in a tow tank one day.
@@SOACV I would love to see BROAD Core Tubular Stainless Steel Slabs used in ship construction. It would make giant ships like Freedom Ship actually feasible.
I read that the condo ship “The World” was having problems. The novelty tended to wear off rather quickly and, in order to keep cash coming in, units were being rented out to short term occupants, dulling the cachet.
So like a regular cruise ship?
Fun fact I actually reached out to them by email and they project is still being worked on! Not gonna lie the concept really intrigued me too.
“Start funding in 2020” Well this particular comment didn’t age well...
Any day now!
Maybe he could just tie together the abandoned cruise ships and make one mega ship that way. Lord knows the cruise industry won't be coming back for decades.
Every time it gets to a good point we go in another crisis
@@pavelow235 I'm curious why you think it would take decades. Cruising will return to a somewhat normal level by the end of 2021. Though, less profitable because there will be less demand. It might take a few years for the industry to fully recover to pre-pandemic times, but it certainly won't take decades.
I think it’d be interesting to see it happen, but recent events have made more reluctant doubts of the project from me. This is so sad :(
Whoever designed this must not know what a rogue wave is.
@Logan Snyder Rogue waves are nothing for a ship this big. But besides, they never cruise in bad weather anyway.
@@DunnickFayuro I guess that you know what a rogue wave does. The larger the ship basically the worst of an impact it has. 50m waves form randomly due to constructive interference. One place that it most often occurs is in the see just off the South African coastline.
These waves have been the reasons for many a ship damage or being snapped in half.
The wave comes along and the ship can with standard it but the problem is as the wave travels along and part of the ship sticks out over the wave causing forces on the ship that it's not designed for causing it to snap in half
Exactly what I was thinking. Building it isn't as much of a problem as building it the second time.
@Super Noodles I didn't understand 1/3 of what you wrote. Maybe re-read yourself before posting?
@@DunnickFayuro sorry English isn't my first language :')
Instead of a single unit, I think it'd be safer and more practical to create units, the way trains are built. The units could easily be disconnected for maintenance and repair. Automated bridges would allow passengers and residents to cross from one section to another. I don't know how engineers would balance everything, but we've seen too many superliners go down after being hailed as super safe or "unsinkable.: Gotta learn from past mistakes.
I love how the animation *does not contain a SINGLE lifeboat* ^^
*We can build it if given the money*
Yep, as an engineer, I can confirm. That sounds like exactly what an engineer would say.
Engineers: fuck your physics. This is completely possible to build. Now will it actually survive the ocean? Fuck no that thing is doomed to fail... but fuck yeah we can build it
Derplord 2.0 gotta pove engineers
@@AuGrrr : Nah, it would survive the ocean, that's not a problem. The _financing rounds_ are what it'll never survive, and that's just because it's too big of a step to start off with.
@@absalomdraconis well it would be super fucking hard to make it survive since there are rogue waves that can cause shit to happen and a tsunami can fuck it up badly.
@@AuGrrr Rogue waves shouldn't be too much of a problem, there's ships that were built a century ago that survived some pretty massive rogue waves.
Fun fact: As of February 2020 Jeff Bezos could afford 12 Freedom Ships and still be a multi-billionaire.
Billy Bloomer I feel like if I had the money to brush off the cost of something like this, I’d fund it just to see what’s up
Now at the end of April
He can buy 14 freedomships.
$10 Billion is low, a single Gerald R. Ford class cost $13 Billion and that is for a relatively proven design when compared to Freedom Ship. If it did get built I would expect that it tours the world once then has 10 years where they barely move it to lower costs then becomes uninhabitable.
Hopefully Freedom Ship can come to life one day! That would be so cool! 🛳
Rachel McLean that was the price in the 90s/ early 2000s it would cost a lot more now
I took my first sea voyage at age 10, in 48 from Karachi to Basra. I saw flying fish falling at the deck, Birds diving to catch fish. It was hot as Haiti. There was no Air Conditioning, so we suffered. Since then, I have sailed many a times around the world except Australia, New Zealand and South America. Longer or shorter, the feeling of claustrophobia is always there. I have also taken journeys in the Sahara, where, at least, you can get out and roam. Nope! Not for me.
Would you be so kind, as to list all the places you traveled to? Just to be sure, we all get the full picture.
I've always wanted this to exist because the idea is just so *out there* but I'm reasonably confident that the idea is a logistics nightmare with how many supplies would be required for the ship to function and the cost it would incur to keep up with consumption. It's not that I think it's impossible from a technical standpoint, but rather that once you factor in maintenance and logistics practicalities that it just becomes economically impossible. The ship would be virtually unable to dock anywhere, thus requiring tenders, the airport would be a liability and maintenance nightmare, and servicing the ship itself would be incredibly difficult since it could not be dry-docked anywhere. I would love to see it become reality, I just don't see how it could do so without being a massive capital sink.

I went on a cruise ship, got lost a couple times
I don’t know how I would find my room even on the first day in that thing
just pick a room, any room! actually no that sounds disgusting just picking a room and then checking if its occupied and disrupting a person just trying to sleep.
They should create an app to help you find your room and find restaurants, stores, nearby emergency exits, lifeboats, safety jackets,etc. Or they could give you a map
The same way people find their way on carriers. You don't have to learn every inch of the ship, just the places you frequent.
You'd need GPS to get to the restaurant.
Bruh there would obviously be a map
This sounds like a cheaper version of rapture from bioshock
This reminds me of something you'd dream up in some sort of school project for shop class and then you present it and the teacher and other students pick it apart and tell you why it wouldn't work

It's been way more than 10 years since this concept. I remember seeing this in the late 90s when I was in High School. I think there was a Popular Mechanics issue that featured it that the school library had on one of the tables I saw it in.
In my fictional world, this ship never gets abandoned and still successful
I'd like to generally consider myself a pretty chill person who doesn't worry a lot, and I think that it's a great idea, but holy shit I could bring up a million nightmarish scenarios with awful outcomes

“We can build it, but we don’t know how to bring it to the attention of the world.”
I think that problem can solve itself...
I remember watching a video showing concept art of the ship when I was like, 9 or 10. I particularly remember thinking to myself, "Damn that thing looks ugly."
Yeah, they really need to work on that prow; looks like some 'Cubist' painter's creation, which just doesn't 'work' on a sea-ship.
Ignoring the physics involved with moving a "ship" of this magnitude through open waters and prevailing winds, the astronomical amount of logistical issues they would need to solve would rival sending someone to Mars.
The cost alone to maintain a ship this large would bankrupt a small nation. How do you even dry dock a 6,000ft ship to repaint the hull? The amount of barnacles that would grow on a mile long ship would be staggering, probably produce enough drag to stop this ship in its tracks.
Not only that, but feeding all these people. Where are you gonna put all that food? You'd have to almost certainly have a garden of sorts
Think about sinking this thing. Imagine the giant reef it could host, imagine the amount of marine wildlife that would thrive in it.
Greatest Ever they would need a slaughterhouse on board or something. Think of that. Or be a vegan ship
Totally agreed. This is just a massive mess on board.
They'd be better having a fleet of ships that you can ferry between.

The environmental impact of this is terrifying. Cruise ships are bad enough but this would be disastrous to the oceans.
While true, you could mitigate the damage by powering it with a couple nuclear generators. Nuclear has come a long way since the 50s and it's the safest, cleanest power source we have even when accounting for the accidents that have happened in the past.
@@TheVirtualObserver If done properly, I agree, but the problem is more one of waste. You don't think all of that plastic trash floating in the ocean is coming from Kansas, do you? There is documented evidence of these ships opening up the back and dumping massive amounts of garbage into the oceans.
@@jeffreycdrywater Oh I totally agree in that regard. I was more thinking about the fact that most, large civilian ships run on bunker fuel which is the most toxic fuel source currently in widespread use. However the waste generated from the ship’s day-to-day operations is another issue entirely.
Waste disposal and ferrying would be a huge issue to tackle.
Honestly if trash-nets of sorts could be attached to the side to scoop out some of the worlds trash while cruising it could be a net positive... maybe I don't know. Would at least help it's PR if it doesn't scare investors away.

Imagine how expensive EVERYTHING would be. Food, toilet paper, medicine, freshwater. Everything even on an island is more expensive with regular supply routes being flown or shipped in. A gallon of milk in the Bahamas is $11.19. Now imagine supplying a moving ship that can never dock at most ports and whos timeline can be altered by the weather. Even before covid-19 there are horror stores of different bacteria and viruses infecting large numbers of passengers and crew. Plus it is a city. There would be crime. You would need police, judges, courts and jails. Also, where are all the service workers going to live? They can't afford a condo. Would they be supplied dorms and have a portion of their salary go towards "rent" that they pay to the company ship? What if the workers all went on strike because of pay or living conditions? This would never work.
agreed It should’ve been a cruise ship instead of a ship where people can live on
Agreed they should rather build the super pyramid in japan
@@Prokerboss tbh the super pyramid at least sounds plausible considering its Japan that wants to do it. They already have tons of futuristic architecture and engineering in their track record
@@MashZ yep and they’re gonna make it in other countries too
I think the whole project is too ambitious, costly and could potentially result in the world's biggest lawsuit if the vessel sinks and kills thousands of people onboard.
Because Freedom Ship is intended to be a sustainable moving city across the world's oceans, there's far too many problematic circumstances it could face in the future.
It takes *alot* of planning and management to run a city (especially the finance's to run the place), and if even one system begins to fail it wouldn't take much for the rest to follow.
I personally feel like it's a big gamble for investors to put money into something this risky, but I do think it's a cool concept and I admire the creators passion for his design.
I think Freedom Ship could become a good sci-fi movie one day, I'd definitely watch it. 👍
Very beautiful project
I did see that documentary as a kid and though how amazing it would be. My father was much more cynical. All these years later, I am impressed that they made such a long and genuine effort to make it happen. Also, I've grown into my father's kind of cynicism.

Every accident makes things safer, even modern times the cruise ships with latest tech still have problems, like the cruise ship that had a fire in the engine room, then days of misery for the passengers and crew due to no backup generator at another part of the ship, however thanks to that incident, now all cruise ships must now have that backup generator outside of the engine room.
😂😂
@@americanpatriot3667 Why does literally every cruise ship story start with a sketchy back story? Titanic, Costa Concordia 😂
Always interesting to see mankind's willingness to build superlatives.
Congrats on 1 mil
Here is how it would ACTUALLY work: every rich guy would buy a $250k studio, declare it as his legal residence, and pay no taxes forever. While actually living somewhere else, of course, It would be a ghost ship with barely more than the crew on board.
you are so smart
B Randell
On The World, you are allowed to lease your unit to others with approval, though it wouldn’t be an ‘investment’ with all the fees.
The Freedom is supposed to have thousands of tourists; apparently.
So in theory it would always be busy. Though all those people trapped on a ship these days just screams ‘pandemic’ nightmare
Uhm, you try (as an American citizen) to declare your residence to be 'X', and then spend most of your time elsewhere ... good way to end up in prison! The IRS requires you to show/demonstrate that you spent at least 183 days out of the year at your primary residence, whether in the U.S. or elsewhere. I know about this because I had a conversation with a friend who was an accountant and handled some folk's tax-filings.
yeah. it would basically be floating 2021 Manhattan. YIKES.
@@ephennell4ever thats only for folks with a million bucks. Turn that Mil into a BIL, and our IRS tends to look the other way.
Uhh, yeah chief. I’m gonna pass on an airport roof. I live by an airport, and just the planes flying over everyday is annoying. Having private jets landing on your roof each day? Hell no
I thought this was a joke because I read your name as a wild FLYING cabinet
The plans do state turboprops instead of jets wich will lower noise
@@Widoghastly not by much. The world's loudest thing is when one of the old WWII bombers fly over my house, and those are all turboprop. Whenever it's the airshow and they bring one in, everybody in the neighborhood knows
Antonio Rioseco turboprops are actually around 10 to 30 decibels louder than jet engines, but make a lower frequency of noise. and in all honesty i would imagine that if it’s a floating city it will most likely have more civilian type aircraft which will make much less noise, and most people would use the ferry’s to travel back and forth between the ship and land due to most tourists wanting to pay for a cheaper price to get on board.
I rather enjoy the sound of jets overhead.
Can you imagine if this thing sank? No way they could get 100,000 people off quickly enough. And just the loss of the ship itself and all the stuff on it would be insane enough
Good luck making that insurance claim.
I hope this gets built in my lifetime, too. Cool dream.
I would name it Atlantis, “The City That Never Sinks”...
Not even you would buy this for a dollar
Everything sinks even the unsinkable titanic and citys with flood
I got a bad feeling about this
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I think never you should call something "unsinkable" ..
It's not a good omen ..
This sounds like the “Fyre Fest” of cruise ships!
Very accurate. Though I imagine the tickets wouldn't be anywhere near as cheap.
Perfect analogy!
Aaron Seiz Oh no!
i get the joke, but its not accurate at all.
note that:
-they refused to take money from sketchy people/groups.
-they didnt start collecting money based on unfounded claims.
-they have actively redesigned the ship based on industry input.
-they didnt already sell units to people who will never get them.
all of those make it very very different from fyre fest.
I love seeing rich people swindled out of money.
Looks like an Ace Combat boss fight

Yeah..... Im sure that can be ssnk by an iceberg... Yea definetley not
Sank* lel
You mean Antarctica has to get back to work?
@@Triplane1234It would take days for a ship of this size to sink, that's assuming no separate compartments are made and the hole is giant, no redundancies. That would be more than enough time to repair or at least rescue the people on board.
I hope this gets get built, I would definitely get a condo, especially now with the massive freedom that millions of people have gotten with the advent of work from home.
I can see something like this being built in the future.
I almost want to say he's delusional but at the same time I feel so bad seeing him be so hopeful about a project that will never happen
Agree, the amount of money needed to build this is just enormous, but I really hope he'll get attention from billionaires
By what means is your assumption it won't happen credible?
No, this would be a bad idea and it looks like a heaven for tax evaders

Oooo 2020 must have hit hard for this project
plot twist the failing cruiseline industry is actually selling their ships off for cheap and this guys is going to buy them all up and tie'em together
This sounds like some kinda zombie apocalypse escape ship
Or a death trap if 1 person gets infected
Darth Drake facts
Sounds like some weird libertarian project.
Or a proto-floating city like from _Black Ops 2_ .
Like 2012
Hope the ship includes a stop in Pyongyang. We have the floating hotel that was once at the Great Barrier Reef
Wtf

This kind of sounds like a dystopian society in the making
like bioshock but if the city was on top of the water, not under it
Haha cool. Iam getting the remastered versions I'm a few days can't wait to play them again (:
@@Strawhalo make sure you the play burial at sea dlc. ties the whole series together
Imagine how dangerous this would have been during a pandemic.
Vee and it’s would be predominantly older people. They’d lose like 20,000 on just the one ship. I wouldn’t even want to go on this thing pandemics aside.
@@electi0neering rofl
The pandemic stopped the ship again 😂
Corons would have spread like wild fire
Ironically I was thinking the exact opposite - how easy it would have been for them to completely seal themselves off from the outside world
This has the potential to become Atlantis 2: electric boogaloo.
LMAO
Yea... it does... XD

"Iceberg, five kilometers ahead" " My god, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT! "
I had a dream when I was younger and Im pretty sure there is an alternate reality where the freedom ship was real.
It’s funny because I became obsessed by the concept of this ship at 10 years old also 😂, I’m now an engineer on cargo vessels
That’s so cool!!
that is how you win at life :)
Nice you got Bright Sun Films to reply to you!
hope you don't ever even try thinking of designing something like this.
And where is this literally a cities, sewage and waste going daily? Straight into the ocean?
Good god..ewwh!
FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT
Also, how tf do they plan to bring in an entire city's worth of supplies every day from random places around the world? The daily supply chains alone would be a near-insurmountable logistical nightmare
They can have water treatment as well. It would fit
