If you are looking for a material look up South Korea Sewol disaster on April 16 2014. The ship was overloaded, a turn was taken to sharply, causing the ship tilt, then roll over. The captain was a coward and abandoned 300 passengers and crew (most of them high schoolers) for dead. The worst part was the ordeal after it sunk, the government at the time tried their hardest to keep their image clear, and to burie the story from the public, they failed, and that event changed South Korea forever.
@christyli8016tf you mean That was a horrible disaster that wouldn’t have happened if the captain wasn’t such a coward and the government did more to help with the rescue efforts.
I liked how pissed off that Coast Guard was at the Captain. He told the Captain that he was going to pay for this, that he would see to it. And the Captain received 16 years in the slammer. He kept his word.
Honestly tho, should’ve gotten life in prison... his sentence was pretty controversial in Italy. Also knowing how the system works here he will be out in a few years already...
@@bornana269 At least Italy cares about these types of situations. I remember watching a plane crash that dealt with Italian pilots, or maybe it was a helicopter crash and they also got sentences. I dont think any other country does that. Especially out in the oceans, where there are no police and all these deaths usually end up with no one being charged and they all die in vain. So kudos to Italy for this.
I wouldnt have been surprised if that Coast Guard Commander, had he had the captain in front of him, choked the little fucker half to death while yelling at him to do his fucking job.
An update for those who might be curious. Schettino was arrested, sentenced to 16 years in jail and had his family and career destroyed. He is widely considered a national shame and was at one point the most reviled man in Italy. To this day people throughout the country despise him and his actions. De Falco (the Coast Guard officer) became a Senator for one term only to then return to the Coast Guard. Funnily enough, the two men come from the same city (Naples).
I can believe that. However is it really true that he claimed to have slipped and fallen into a lifeboat? 🤣😂 If he did then he's got to be one of the stupidest men on the planet.
The captain saying that he wasn't responsible for the deaths of the victims because they died from the sinking of the ship and not from the impact is like saying you're not guilty for murder because the victim died from bleeding instead of dying from the impact of the bullet that you shot them with.
What a fucking coward. Totally desecrating the position of captain, and completely derelict the duties of LEADERSHIP. You never abandon your ship where YOUR at fault for its demise, until every one of your passengers and crew is disembarked or accounted for. As a captain, one knows this. Hence the stories of captains going down with their ship. May shame and haunt follow this coward not deserving of the title or honor, for allowing these people to perish without his assistance from an incident caused by ego.
Truly happen..Captain Squirt Meatball Brain..Had to be scolded to get back to his sinking ship! I actually heard the recorded broadcast! There are Not Enough Negative words to describe Loser Captain Squirt! Was Showboating passengers lives! And Fucking Failed!
Titanic, HMS Hood, Bismarck (Prinz Eugen detonated Hoods AA magazine storage compartments and Bismarck detonated Hoods 15" main battery ammunition storage compartments) and in 2012 we had the Costa Concordia. All considered unsinkable but all 4 sank.

The coast guard is class here. That job comes with an immense duty of care and you shouldn't take the position unless you understand what that means for you. In 1956 another Italian Captain Piero Calamai conducted the most successful rescue at Sea in history. His ship collided with another ship initially killing 46 people. After making sure all surviving passengers were rescued he refused help stating he wanted to go down with his ship as atonement for the collision which was later found to be the fault of the other ship. The rescue party refused to leave Piero to die however and he lived until 1972. It's reported that the accident haunted him, he never sailed again and on his death bed asked "are the passengers safe? Are the passengers off?" A true Captain.
@@piergiorgioscollo7163 Yes he was. Served in both world wars. He was given an award for bravery in each. His family & country should be very proud of him.
I ALWAYS took the stairs when I cruised. First of all, you have to burn all the calories you can since the food is so good. Secondly, you can get trapped and die.
Well, sometimes, like on the Lusitania, stairs are NOT an option. 1. It could be dark and you could slip. In an elevator, there are buttons that help you. 2. The stairs maybe exploded on impact from an explosion or by hitting rocks, etc. 3. The stairs are too far away, so you have to settle for elevator.
Chuofearth Yes, the solution to these problems are simple: 1) Scale the side of the ship. 2) Scale the side of the ship. 3) *Scale the side of the freaking ship.*
I cannot imagine being locked in an elevator that’s being filled up with water with my only sibling drowning. It’s worse if your claustrophobic like me.
I absolutely love how that coast guard guy tells the captain "you may have saved yourself from the sea but I am going to make sure you get in trouble & that you pay for this"!
I replayed the Coast Guard's call like 10 times, truly amazing. The moment he said "got it" you could literally hear his control break, he went off on the Captain (as he should) and let him know his destiny. Also, it looked so haunting when they where taking the ship to the port of Genoa, felt like a funeral procession.
The word the commander used was "cazzo" which is a pretty versatile swear word. It literally translates as "dick", but is often used in places where, in English we'd use "fuck".
@@SirManfly it’s an exact opposite to the Andrea Doria where the captain of that Italian cruise ship had to be DRAGGED from his sinking ship! It’s reported that his dying moments were him deliriously asking if all his passengers were safe. If everyone was off the ship
Rip Giuseppe Girolamo, a member of the ship's musical band who gave up his seat on a lifeboat to give it to a woman with her children, knowing he couldn’t swim. Truly an heroic act
@@valsett3385 survival is the primary human instinct. if you give up your chance of survival in exchange for assured death then youre too dumb to literally follow instincts.
Musicians on titanic: *kept playing till their death to keep passengers calm* This captain: bro I swear to god I just slipped into the life boat bro I dunno
@@somedudeonthetube5110 On the other hand, "Woah a life boat!" *places a rock in front of him. Slips on it 'accidentally'* "Oi, I just slipped that's all!"
“He claims that the people didn’t die from the impact, but from the ship sinking.” That’s like saying his shooting didn’t kill the person, the fact that they bled out did.
If you think about it, it makes everything even worse. If only right after the impact he had given the order to abandon the ship immediately, instead of making staff members say "everything is ok" and do nothing for hours, some people's lives could have been saved. I doubt there was anything they could do about the people who were stuck in the elevators though :(
The point is that the ship shouldn't have sinked with that kind of damage, watertight doors didn't work, the emergency diesel engine didn't start, therefore losing hydraulic power to the rudders (ship uncontrolable), this also led to the elevators getting stuck, the NAPA computer meant to assess damages and do calculations on how long the ship can float did completely shut down and didn't start ever again, the crew in the machine rooms did check manually where the water was coming from and they kept giving oposite informations all the time (water coming from left, no wait from right, no wait from left and so on), the stabilizers (those little wings that open on the sides of the ship) have been opened by the auto-pilot but couldn't be closed due to a malfunction in the panel, this increased the turning radius (possibly leading to the collision with the rock), the helmsman did execture manouvers in the oposite direction as the ones asked by the commander, look, the commander may have made a lot of mistakes but if the ship's systems and it's crew didn't behave so poorly the ship would have safely docked in the port and it would have been just another mild accident like the many that happen everyday going unnoticed due to no fatalities nor wounded. So yes, people didn't die by the impact but from how the ship and it's crew behaved afterwards.
just like the titanic when the person who made it said it's unsinkable, and even gods can't sink it and he was really proud of it or so something similar to what he said and boom! the ship sank because of long scratch from an iceberg, which brought shame upon him. when he mentioned the name god with a challenge it brought curse to his ship. lmao
@@Sovereign.listener the titanic was nothing but a tragic and sad display of human stupidity. If the company hadn't been a dick and added enough life boats, less people would've died.
Maanya Shukla facts and that's also the part where the people who created it also said it doesn't need the much life boat since it's "unsinkable" and the rest continues but in general yeah this is really sad to see people die because of such arrogance of such person.
I think the most frustrating thing in an emergency like that is a lack of direction from the crew. They provided almost no direction to the passengers and it was up to the passengers to see what was happening and act to save themselves.
If I recall, the coast guard only got word about this when one of the concern passengers called 911 (or the Italian equivalent of it) and told the police everything which they then informed the coast guard about it, which finally lead to them finally trying to get ahold of the Captain.
Most crew on cruise ship are working 14-16 hour days non stop and don't have the proper training and instructions for emergency and disaster. A lot of corners are cut, and when the cruise companies are based out of different countries.
Most of the crew are supposed to receive commands from above (i.e Captain and so on). Can't really blame them for this. They won't know the severity of the situation until informed. If they would've known, I'm sure they would've acted accordingly.
I wouldn’t doubt if he said “Oh no I am falling ahhh oops! I fell in this lifeboat I am going to row to shore now because I totally can’t get back on board” Coast guard: Schettino this is captain DeFalco you take your lifeboat now and climb back on board and coordinate the rescue Schettino: Ughhh chssshhh cap chsshh your chsh breaking up It’s too chsshhh dark out here Coast Guard: That is an order captain...I will make sure you pay for this Schettino: riiiiiiiiiiggggghhhhttttt I’ll mail you a check for such a good job you’re doing Coast guard: you can’t be serious can you Schettino:.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhh no one can see the wizard! *hangs up*
I’ve been to both of Concordia’s sister ships Favolosa and Pacifica and they are HUGE. I can not begin to imagine the panic when Concordia began to tilt and slowly sink.
Badge Man It would be for that family... I suspect they already held the funeral. After two years, the pain of the loss was no longer fresh and they learned to cope. Then all of a sudden you find out the decomposed body of your loved one was found and you now had to deal with it... Aside from the costs of transporting the body, the family was forced to confront the pain and loss all over again.
The real hero's are the people living nearby that welcomed the passengers into their homes, and the coast guard gentlemen that tore the captain a new one.
Reminds me of the more recent boat death in South Korea, where the captain fled, and the crew members told the schoolkids to stay in their rooms on the ship. The kids were messaging their family and friends on social media to tell them goodbye before they sunk. That captain is in prison now for 36 years for professional negligence after his actions killed 250 schoolkids.
Apparently many of the dead were trapped in the elevators when the ship lost power. The crew had plenty of time to rescue those people and the elevators surely had emergency call buttons or intercoms?
@@qwertyrainetmir7743 In not certain but I feel like elevator would have dropped them off at the nearest floor when the backup generators kicked in, they must have gotten on after the initial power outage
Apparently you don’t know the laws for a captain. Even if the ship is sinking, the fucking captain must stay where he is, until all the passengers have left the ship! The coast guard was more than right! As an Italian, I defend the argument with all of my heart.
Alice Potettu what in the heck are you babbling about? Please write me a ten page essay on how my comment says anything about me believing the Italian Coast Guard was wrong. Some words of wisdom: Understand a comment before you put up a comment on a public forum fully exposing that you don’t know what you’re angry about. Thank you.👍🏽

But... he accidently put on a lifejacket, took the wrong way somewhere, slipped into a lifeboat and it somehow got into gear, he got back to shore and look, aaah no the engine in the lifeboat doesn't work anymore, man how unlucky I am. And it's dark you know.
I have been on at least 12 cruises since the early 1990s.. celebrity.. princess. Disney. But my favorite is Norwegian Cruise lines.. I have seen how well the employees have been trained. And all the safety features aboard Norwegian Cruise line ships... Their staff crew members and officers in Captain are fantastic.. I feel completely safe on the NCL Cruise. Approximately 3 years after I was cruising on the Norwegian Dawn.. the Norwegian Dawn was hit in the Caribbean by 70-ft rogue wave!! The captain of the Norwegian Dawn was fantastic and cut the wave perfectly.. from what I read there was some blown out cabin windows and flooded cabins but no serious injuries.. those Norwegian captains really know what they're doing.. that 70 ft road wave was higher than the ship and could have easily capsized that cruise ship if it were not for the experience and professionalism of the captain
Meanwhile, I haven't seen the ocean since 2004, when I stopped by a beach for an hour in Longboat Key, Florida while on the trip to see my grandmother for the last time, dying of cancer in a hospice. Needless to say, I could use a vacation.
“You may have saved yourself from the sea, but I’m going to make you pay for this.” Is probably one of the most bad ass things I’ve ever heard in my life.
Titanic's captain tried to aboard a life boat but someone from the boat said, sorry sir, one more person will make this boat go down. The Captain said, goodluck and god bless you(something like this, I dont remember) and turned around to waited for death.
@@kyleanuar9090people can be horrible regardless of the time. Look up the sinking of the Arctic 1854 and Atlantic 1870 .... Captains were great.... the crew and 1st officiers not so much.
The amazing thing is how we simply stood in line waiting for boats. Water was knee deep. I turned to a French couple behind me and said why don’t we just go out the window and swim to shore. We did. We simply stepped in the water. Residents took us in, taking us to their homes. The thing that got us was how long they waited to abandon ship, the crew literally abandoned us not just the captain. 2 crew members did stay behind and tried their best to help us. I have never been on a cruise since. It was my wife’s first cruise. It was the French couples 2nd cruise. Many thanks to the citizens of that island who literally opened their homes to us. After the Coast Guard finally got there, they did a good job as well. I disagree with the criticism of their efforts. The captain got what he deserved.
How deep was the water from between the ship to the coast, it looks so close so obviously the ship was so big so its hard to get any sort of perspective on the distance between it and the coast.
claudia lol the coast guard is at fault for not changing the heading of the ship, for not stopping the ship from hitting a rock, their fault for getting lied to and so on and so fourth? um no.
Of the 32 people who died, 12 died inside an elevator. So let that sink in. You’re on an elevator on a cruise ship. The power goes out shortly after you hop on and press a button. Eventually the elevator starts leaning, then water starts to seep in. What a nightmare. Rest In Peace my fellow humans; I know it was scary beyond words.
yea it's a bad death but on the other hand it's a tiny elevator, meaning drowning will go quicker than they would be likely be trapped in a bigger room when water would go inside slowlier or they would jump under the ship and get stuck there and drown
“I tripped and fell into a lifeboat” will go down in history together with “My dog ate my homework”, “The check is in the mail”, and “Your honor, she told me she was 18”.

@@severusfloki5778 The coast guard guy (Gregorio De Falco) was not convicted of anything - he is rightly praised for his efforts to convince Captain Schettino to return to the ship. The guy who got the 2 yr sentence was Carnival/Costa Cruises crisis director Roberto Ferrarini, who was convicted for minimising the scale of the disaster and delaying an appropriate response. Cpt. Schettino himself was convicted for 16 years, for manslaughter/causing loss of a ship/abandoning passengers, which is against the maritime principle of "the captain goes down with the ship".
Craig Wilson Okay I got it. What about the bridge officers though? They are the ones that took the boat too close to the shore, the captain was having dinner
There's a classic Monty Python comedy sketch where a pilot gets on the intercom and announces, "There is no cause for alarm." A few seconds later, he makes it even worse by saying, "THE WINGS ARE NOT ON FIRE."
The power went out so people got trapped in elevator's and the ship capsised so it was hard to move away from water so people got trapped in lower decks an died
@@seal7216 I didn’t just find out, I knew about this years ago. It’s just learning the full story now is better with all the details, compared to when it happened.
Best part of the video is listening to coast guard berating the captain for not returning to the ship, and even though I don't understand Italian I could hear the anger in the guy's voice getting worse as the captain kept refusing to get on.
I thought that was a very good "informational!" clip of this entire mess. But to hear the Coast Guard and the captain in recording. I didn't remember that when watching this on news.
“Look schettino you may have saved yourself from the sea, I’m going to make sure you get in trouble I’m going to make you pay for this” That costguard officer is a certified badass.
I’m not gonna lie I kind of laughed a little bit when the Coast Guard officer said that. But he’s not wrong. What’s Schettino did was extremely unprofessional, I’ve been cruising for almost 10 years and I’ve been on 4. I know for a fact that’s not a good captain.
Empress Of Ireland: at least you didnt have another ship run into you Britannic: or a sea mine Lusitania and Sussex: or torpedoes Indianapolis: or torpedoes AND sharks killing your crew
In fairness to the Titanic, she sank because of some really strange circumstances and an absolutely bizarre collision angle. There was maybe one real howler of a decision from the crew that played a role in her sinking. Everything else was a failure of the systems and procedures of the time. Concordia should never have been that close to the coast. This was probably one of the rare times when a major disaster was primarily due to human error rather than systemic failure. As an aside: Empress of Ireland was largely a freak accident, although her captain's decision to alter course in a fog bank wasn't exactly a shining example of level-headed seamanship. She might have had one of the worst collisions in maritime history, but at least her crew did their duty (and admirably so). Take a ship like the Arctic, on the other hand - combine a bad collision with a crew made entirely of Captain Schettinos (except, ironically, the captain), and you start to see just how shameful a sinking can be.

@@igneousorgan6435 Because he was the Captain witch means that all these people are his responsibility. He should only tink about get out after the last on leaves.
Gotta love the captain's claim that he isn't responsible for the deaths of the passengers because they died from the ship sinking and not the impact. It's like a gunman claiming he isn't responsible for murder because the bullets didn't kill his victim, the subsequent blood loss and trauma did.
Craftman Seven Eighty He deserved a harsher sentence. He bailed on the ship as soon as he knew what had happened - straight to the lifeboat. Would You have done that? No, probably not. Few of us would; most people would act responsibly, and stay to help, coordinate, take charge, etc. Even if he had just stayed for one more hour, and directed the crew in what to do, that would have been Something. Instead, he abandoned Everybody - his crew, his colleagues, his passengers. The only person he saved from the sea was himself - I may be wrong here, but I think that two of the people who were killed were never found; their remains are lost to the sea - the question will always be if they died because of the captain’s cowardly abandoning ship. What an awful excuse for a human being.

Remember the saying: “The captain goes down with the ship!” It is the captain’s job to always ensure ALL their passengers get off the ship safely before it’s their turn.
A kid on roblox knew that!!! Tho even after the Everyone was safe he refused to get on a life boat till the very last possible second. (a game based on the titanic)
True, Just the like Sewol Ferry that sank and killed around 275 students 75 were rescued BUT… the captain and crew were the FIRST to make it out safely, tell the students to still put while he was rescued. Look it up it’s a very sad sad story. One rescue diver committed suicide because he couldn’t handle what he witnessed.
I can just imagine being a little kid standing with your parent saying it’s gonna be fine and then you here abandon ship and you just no your gonna die
I remember that day. My uncle and aunt worked there, my aunt was a bartender while my uncle worked in the kitchens and occasionally a server. My aunt was on the other line, crying while looking for my uncle. While talking to my sobbing mom, she asked her fellow crewmates that she'd pass by if they know where my uncle was. "Have you seen Eric? Do you know where he is?" My mom was crying too because she thought she'd never meet her brother again. Thank God he's safe, after rescuing others and giving civilians life jackets.
He deserved more than that. He got 32 people killed because of his cowardice. He's the Captain, he's responsible for everyone's safety. It's bullshit that he only got 16 years of imprisonment for this.

Well the captain didn’t cause the ship to collide with the rocks. It was a mixture of miscommunication between languages causing the helmsman to put it in a bad course And the area that the ship sailed into wasn’t mapped out.
The people in elevators were trapped when the power went off, and none of the staff did anything, they were in there for 5 hours from when the power went off, then emergency battery light ran out after 2 hours, so for the last 3 hours they were in the dark trying to somehow smash there way out only for water to flood in and drown them all. Meanwhile the captain was on land having a sherry.
@Sir Panda The captain got 16 years, the rest of the crew members deemed responsible got 2 years. Time they served because the captain hadn't given them the details.
Honestly I can see how they would have thought help would come after some time... After waiting for hours in there... In disbelief they would drown.... I honestly can't believe such shit can happen in 21st century we have so much tech but we still can't outsmart human stupidity
nobody can beat the Sewol ferry captain who told everyone to stay in place while the ship was sinking and he left, leaving nearly 300 kids to drown...there is a special place in hell for this man...
Being told everything will be okay is fine because panic will cause a lot of problems. Not actually doing anything to make the situation okay definitely isn’t fine though.
RIP to those who lost their lives. Whether it's 32 on the Costa Concordia, or over 1,500 on the Titanic (or all the other ship disasters), drowning in a sinking ship is such a brutal thing.

Jusr today morning i got off of one of its sisters, The Costa Serena. Everything in costa concordia was almost the same. I was SHOCKED to see that the lobby was EXACTLY THE SAME in both ships as well as the THEATRE AND MORE... good thing i came across this video AFTER getting off of Costa Serena !
I just been on Costa Serena in Thailand to Cambodia (16th May 2023 to 19th May 2023) and I must say the similarities to Concordia and Serena are surreal to imagine what it was really like during this horrific disaster. I remember the sinking of Concordia very well in 2012 and it made me think about my trip a few days before embarking on my own journey in the Gulf of Thailand. However, with all safety measures set aside and regardless of the past, they seem to have proven with my experience that they have put safety first. It is an amazing ship and one should experience.

I wouldnt have been surprised if that Coast Guard Commander, had he had the captain in front of him, choked the little fucker half to death while yelling at him to do his fucking job.
An update for those who might be curious.
Schettino was arrested, sentenced to 16 years in jail and had his family and career destroyed.
He is widely considered a national shame and was at one point the most reviled man in Italy. To this day people throughout the country despise him and his actions.
De Falco (the Coast Guard officer) became a Senator for one term only to then return to the Coast Guard.
Funnily enough, the two men come from the same city (Naples).

I can believe that. However is it really true that he claimed to have slipped and fallen into a lifeboat? 🤣😂 If he did then he's got to be one of the stupidest men on the planet.
Good for the stupid captain.

Who's mr Beast?
The captain saying that he wasn't responsible for the deaths of the victims because they died from the sinking of the ship and not from the impact is like saying you're not guilty for murder because the victim died from bleeding instead of dying from the impact of the bullet that you shot them with.

The coast guard officer telling the captain to get back onboard his ship is legendary.
What a fucking coward. Totally desecrating the position of captain, and completely derelict the duties of LEADERSHIP. You never abandon your ship where YOUR at fault for its demise, until every one of your passengers and crew is disembarked or accounted for. As a captain, one knows this. Hence the stories of captains going down with their ship. May shame and haunt follow this coward not deserving of the title or honor, for allowing these people to perish without his assistance from an incident caused by ego.
Yup

Should build a ship and say it’s very sinkable. Then it won’t sink .

The coast guard is class here. That job comes with an immense duty of care and you shouldn't take the position unless you understand what that means for you.
In 1956 another Italian Captain Piero Calamai conducted the most successful rescue at Sea in history. His ship collided with another ship initially killing 46 people. After making sure all surviving passengers were rescued he refused help stating he wanted to go down with his ship as atonement for the collision which was later found to be the fault of the other ship. The rescue party refused to leave Piero to die however and he lived until 1972. It's reported that the accident haunted him, he never sailed again and on his death bed asked "are the passengers safe? Are the passengers off?"

I learned 2 things from this video:
1) If a ship is deemed “Unsinkable,” do NOT ride on it.
2) Take the freaking stairs.
I ALWAYS took the stairs when I cruised. First of all, you have to burn all the calories you can since the food is so good. Secondly, you can get trapped and die.
Well, sometimes, like on the Lusitania, stairs are NOT an option.
1. It could be dark and you could slip. In an elevator, there are buttons that help you.
2. The stairs maybe exploded on impact from an explosion or by hitting rocks, etc.
3. The stairs are too far away, so you have to settle for elevator.
Chuofearth Yes, the solution to these problems are simple:
1) Scale the side of the ship.
2) Scale the side of the ship.
3) *Scale the side of the freaking ship.*

I replayed the Coast Guard's call like 10 times, truly amazing.

Also, it looked so haunting when they where taking the ship to the port of Genoa, felt like a funeral procession.

“He claims that the people didn’t die from the impact, but from the ship sinking.”
That’s like saying his shooting didn’t kill the person, the fact that they bled out did.
@Matt D Basically saying: “You’re not wrong, but damn, you’re a dick.”
If you think about it, it makes everything even worse. If only right after the impact he had given the order to abandon the ship immediately, instead of making staff members say "everything is ok" and do nothing for hours, some people's lives could have been saved. I doubt there was anything they could do about the people who were stuck in the elevators though :(
He’s right, dying from impact is different than drowning.
The point is that the ship shouldn't have sinked with that kind of damage, watertight doors didn't work, the emergency diesel engine didn't start, therefore losing hydraulic power to the rudders (ship uncontrolable), this also led to the elevators getting stuck, the NAPA computer meant to assess damages and do calculations on how long the ship can float did completely shut down and didn't start ever again, the crew in the machine rooms did check manually where the water was coming from and they kept giving oposite informations all the time (water coming from left, no wait from right, no wait from left and so on), the stabilizers (those little wings that open on the sides of the ship) have been opened by the auto-pilot but couldn't be closed due to a malfunction in the panel, this increased the turning radius (possibly leading to the collision with the rock), the helmsman did execture manouvers in the oposite direction as the ones asked by the commander, look, the commander may have made a lot of mistakes but if the ship's systems and it's crew didn't behave so poorly the ship would have safely docked in the port and it would have been just another mild accident like the many that happen everyday going unnoticed due to no fatalities nor wounded. So yes, people didn't die by the impact but from how the ship and it's crew behaved afterwards.
Probably close to the blast from the explosive didn't hurt them, it was the building collapsing that did
'Unsinkable' is a curse word to every ship..
just like the titanic when the person who made it said it's unsinkable, and even gods can't sink it and he was really proud of it or so something similar to what he said and boom! the ship sank because of long scratch from an iceberg, which brought shame upon him.
when he mentioned the name god with a challenge it brought curse to his ship.

@@Sovereign.listener the titanic was nothing but a tragic and sad display of human stupidity.
If the company hadn't been a dick and added enough life boats, less people would've died.

Maanya Shukla facts and that's also the part where the people who created it also said it doesn't need the much life boat since it's "unsinkable" and the rest continues but in general yeah this is really sad to see people die because of such arrogance of such person.
I think the most frustrating thing in an emergency like that is a lack of direction from the crew. They provided almost no direction to the passengers and it was up to the passengers to see what was happening and act to save themselves.
The direction and coordination is supposed to come from the captain, who, well..
If I recall, the coast guard only got word about this when one of the concern passengers called 911 (or the Italian equivalent of it) and told the police everything which they then informed the coast guard about it, which finally lead to them finally trying to get ahold of the Captain.
Most crew on cruise ship are working 14-16 hour days non stop and don't have the proper training and instructions for emergency and disaster. A lot of corners are cut, and when the cruise companies are based out of different countries.
Most of the crew are supposed to receive commands from above (i.e Captain and so on). Can't really blame them for this. They won't know the severity of the situation until informed. If they would've known, I'm sure they would've acted accordingly.
Captain of titanic: I will go down with my ship.

I thought that was a very good "informational!" clip of this entire mess. But to hear the Coast Guard and the captain in recording. I didn't remember that when watching this on news.
William Hayes ikr. The coast guard yelling at him was so satisfying...
actually in Italian it's a bit more vulgar and 'instinctive' then the translation
Luca Stefani let's hear you translate some parts that stood out
“Look schettino you may have saved yourself from the sea, I’m going to make sure you get in trouble I’m going to make you pay for this”
That costguard officer is a certified badass.
I’m not gonna lie I kind of laughed a little bit when the Coast Guard officer said that. But he’s not wrong. What’s Schettino did was extremely unprofessional, I’ve been cruising for almost 10 years and I’ve been on 4. I know for a fact that’s not a good captain.
@Elizabeth M wow did he really!??
@@sonnythefrenchfry I know right? I loved it when the cost guard put him in his place.
@@sonnythefrenchfry he’s really not fit to be a captain
He was *P I S S E D.*
Concordia: what could go wrong?
Titanic: tell me about it
Empress Of Ireland: at least you didnt have another ship run into you
Britannic: or a sea mine
Lusitania and Sussex: or torpedoes
Indianapolis: or torpedoes AND sharks killing your crew
Damn, islands, icebergs, ships, sea mines, torpedos and sharks, man poor ships
In fairness to the Titanic, she sank because of some really strange circumstances and an absolutely bizarre collision angle. There was maybe one real howler of a decision from the crew that played a role in her sinking. Everything else was a failure of the systems and procedures of the time.
Concordia should never have been that close to the coast. This was probably one of the rare times when a major disaster was primarily due to human error rather than systemic failure.
As an aside: Empress of Ireland was largely a freak accident, although her captain's decision to alter course in a fog bank wasn't exactly a shining example of level-headed seamanship. She might have had one of the worst collisions in maritime history, but at least her crew did their duty (and admirably so). Take a ship like the Arctic, on the other hand - combine a bad collision with a crew made entirely of Captain Schettinos (except, ironically, the captain), and you start to see just how shameful a sinking can be.
@@anthonylong9067 The SS Arctic: I had a ship run into me, and a crew made almost entirely of Captain Schettinos. I know EVERYTHING that could go wrong.
If you’re on a boat and you hear “ Everything is under control.”, nothing is fine. The ship is sinking. You’re gonna die.
This is the truest thing
if that happens to me, i am going on the highest outside deck close to a life-boat, read to nope off of it the second the ship starts tilting.
Guess I’ll die
Yep 100% true. Chances are if you return to your room, you won't be coming back
same with:
“I ask you remain calm.”
“Passengers, your attention please.”
The second one, you probably should get ready to face the worst
Coast Guard: “And so what? You want to go home? It’s dark and you want to go home?”
Badass
@@sicksadworld765 Exactly what I was thinking before I pressed Read Comments 😂
LaBeouf: Just do it!
That’s where I would want to go, idk why the commander would think that the captain wouldn’t want to.
@@igneousorgan6435 Because he was the Captain witch means that all these people are his responsibility. He should only tink about get out after the last on leaves.
Gotta love the captain's claim that he isn't responsible for the deaths of the passengers because they died from the ship sinking and not the impact.
It's like a gunman claiming he isn't responsible for murder because the bullets didn't kill his victim, the subsequent blood loss and trauma did.
snakesocks true
He will be remembered as one of the best known and well documented a-holes in history.
"I only pulled the trigger, it's the bullet that hit the victim!"
Really it was the damn ship's fault. That's why it was put to death for it.
Sounds like he’s unfamiliar with the concept of cause and effect.
It's already been 12 years since the Costa Concordia went down. I was in elementary school when this happened.
He wouldn't go back to the ship. He wouldn't help people. He deserves that sentence. He was not a good captain at all.
Craftman Seven Eighty He deserved a harsher sentence. He bailed on the ship as soon as he knew what had happened - straight to the lifeboat. Would You have done that? No, probably not. Few of us would; most people would act responsibly, and stay to help, coordinate, take charge, etc. Even if he had just stayed for one more hour, and directed the crew in what to do, that would have been Something. Instead, he abandoned Everybody - his crew, his colleagues, his passengers. The only person he saved from the sea was himself - I may be wrong here, but I think that two of the people who were killed were never found; their remains are lost to the sea - the question will always be if they died because of the captain’s cowardly abandoning ship. What an awful excuse for a human being.
@@vercoda9997 yeah. If I were a captain, I would never abandon ship like that. I would stay and help
He deserves an even longer sentence
@@craftman780 It's easy to say that in warm room while sitting and watching TH-cam videos.
@@joshualogan6655 just because someone is commenting on youtube doesnt mean they wont be heroic when the time to be comes. You dont know that person. What if they have ran into a burning building in the past to save someone and you dont know that and just comment and assume they arent capable of being heroic just because they are on youtube comments. Your train of thought must depress you.
9:09 god I love this coast guard. Dude is fighting for the lives of those passengers while the captain just worries about himself
B-B-But it's dark.
Chewing him out like his ass was made of bubble gum. 😄
"And you want to go home? It's dark and you want to go home?"
Yup.. bot a good idea to stay on a sinking ship I guess.
@@connynielson8686 you're legally required to as the captain of the ship. You are not allowed to leave until all passengers have been evacuated.
If passengers can't be evacuated from their location, you have to at least locate them and relay this information to divers or who ever needs to know
Can I just say, that coast guard commander earns my respect? Not only did he chew that rat faced bastard out, he said exactly what we were all thinking.
He ripped the guy a new one.
HELL YEAH!!!!
I'd wager that if he stayed on the ship, or at least went back when told to, that he wouldn't have gotten jail time.
keikoandgilly I don’t mean to offend anyone when I say this but I think that’s the thing that happens with all Italian people. They speak their minds.
toadamine either way if he abandoned the ship he would have gotten jail time for not listening to the control person
I remember this! Felt very eerie that it happened just shy two months of the 100th anniversary of the titanic!
Those people on board must have been so brave. I would’ve been running around like a headless chicken 🐔
What's the best of titanic? There are more than 600 people could be saved. They only wanted men died, more than 600 places in lifeboat wasted. Costs concordia at least still has more than 99% passengers survived. Just use you logic to know what is the worst.
Note to self:
DO NOT PISS OFF THE ITALIAN COAST GUARD
Us italians are used to act this way, when things go south we usually start to yell at the guys making the mess and start to troll them with that kind of jokes
@@Momo_Kawashima the one thing about the cap is other than himself, it wasn't a joking matter. I know of the whole captain smith comment thread, but I mean come on. The captain of the HMS hood had more honor and respect compared to this sniveling weasel. USS Johnston's captain earnest e. Evan literally had his bridge shot out with in it and he still commanded the ship till it's sinking. The damned asshole went, oops, I better flee.
By the way, the reason I call out the hood isn't to say anything bad about the captain or ship. The situation of the hood's sinking was over in minutes after the magazine was hit. Besides like I think a dozen or so survivors, mainly because the first hit was really the last for her.
P.S. the Yamoto's captain had more grace than this Yahoo.

I've fucked up in my life a couple of times but Schettino took it to a whole different level
😂
I fucked up badly at 2018 but not Schettino level bad.
My freshman high school year (this year) was my biggest F-up but I am looking to turn my bad luck around
Schettino didn't do that badly actually, that's why he only got 16 years sentence. It's not like he committed murder.
😂😂😂
can we all take a moment to appreciate that coast guards badassery? I would have gone back swimming the first time he asked me to get my ass back on the ship.
most decent people wouldn’t have left the ship if they were the captain in the first place.
The coastguard was apparently a former Marine. He knew things were serious and that Schettino was messing around.
It was a good video anyway, but it would have been worth watching for that dressing down alone.
The Coast Guardsman was tearing the captain a new asshole.
Idk I’ve never seen a female captain of a ship this large so idk if you’d have had the chance 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
the fact that i got a carnival ad while watching this.............
Thinking of the people who died in the elevator gives me chills. That had to be so terrifying.
Yeah, apparently nobody cared about people getting stuck inside of an elevator when the power goes out
Couldn’t stop thinking about this. I can’t imagine what being trapped in there felt like.

Remember the saying: “The captain goes down with the ship!” It is the captain’s job to always ensure ALL their passengers get off the ship safely before it’s their turn.
Hell most captains prefer to die with the ship so that they are not called a cowered back home captain scatinno is not one of those people
How could they imagine going ‘down with’ an unsinkable ship ? 🤷♀️ Maybe all modern captains think sinking ships are a thing of the past
A kid on roblox knew that!!! Tho even after the Everyone was safe he refused to get on a life boat till the very last possible second. (a game based on the titanic)
True, Just the like Sewol Ferry that sank and killed around 275 students 75 were rescued BUT… the captain and crew were the FIRST to make it out safely, tell the students to still put while he was rescued. Look it up it’s a very sad sad story. One rescue diver committed suicide because he couldn’t handle what he witnessed.
@@PuppetCultist Lol, that game is my fav, best rp game ever
the passion in that coast guards voice when he’s trying to get the captain to save those people. bless him for trying
i can't imagine how scary that was for those drowning in the elevator oh my god :(
I can just imagine being a little kid standing with your parent saying it’s gonna be fine and then you here abandon ship and you just no your gonna die

I'm somewhat confused, did the staff not check elevators?? Sure they must have some security protocol for them, or at least they certainly must now...

Ain't he the best
I was in Genova with my mother shortly after the Costa Concordia arrived. it was breathtaking and will stay with me forever
I remember that day. My uncle and aunt worked there, my aunt was a bartender while my uncle worked in the kitchens and occasionally a server. My aunt was on the other line, crying while looking for my uncle. While talking to my sobbing mom, she asked her fellow crewmates that she'd pass by if they know where my uncle was. "Have you seen Eric? Do you know where he is?"
My mom was crying too because she thought she'd never meet her brother again.
Thank God he's safe, after rescuing others and giving civilians life jackets.
Would you mind reaching out to me via email? Would love to talk further! jakew@scpxl.com Thanks!
Your uncle is great.Your aunt and uncle are legends.They are angels who helped in a tough situation.I salute the hero.

Schettino knew he was in deep shit
"GET BACK ON BOARD FUCKER!"
Cowardice should never be rewarded.
He deserved more than that. He got 32 people killed because of his cowardice. He's the Captain, he's responsible for everyone's safety. It's bullshit that he only got 16 years of imprisonment for this.
I've heard the details of the Costa Concordia at least a dozen times and every single time I'm still absolutely floored by the captain's incompetence. Great retelling!
As soon as I hear shit like “everything is under control” I’m *gone*
Sure, but don't panic, and don't use the elevator...
He said that cuz in this situation , being calm and patient is important and being positive is most important
@@beyourself4304 well tbh yeah but,have you heard about the Sewol Ferry incident?Take a look at it.The passengers mostly high school students and middle school,were told to stay put and not to move from where they are now.Sadly for listening to the instructions to stay put and not to move,300 Something peoples died.And the ones who didn’t listen to the instructions survived.I feel so sad for them,they would be graduating rn.They had so many big dreams(ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

@@yoongisskittles2230 its been 6 years but still its a mystery that why the ship sunk and why government didn't helped them when they gave them signals a tons of times , they actually had a lot of time to escape , they would have survived if they immediately jump into water with the life jackets on but instead they just stayed steel with the life jackets on 😩
14:58 "He also claimed that he should not be responsible for the deaths because they were not killed by the initial impact, but by the sinking".......Okay......and why did it sink again? Oh, right, because of the initial impact.
Son a bagan
Lmao when I heard the captain say this I felt like I just heard the most stupidest logic.
I was just about to comment this
Well the captain didn’t cause the ship to collide with the rocks. It was a mixture of miscommunication between languages causing the helmsman to put it in a bad course And the area that the ship sailed into wasn’t mapped out.
not only that, but they kept telling people they had the situation under control LONG after they knew it couldn't be saved.
The people in elevators were trapped when the power went off, and none of the staff did anything, they were in there for 5 hours from when the power went off, then emergency battery light ran out after 2 hours, so for the last 3 hours they were in the dark trying to somehow smash there way out only for water to flood in and drown them all. Meanwhile the captain was on land having a sherry.
Nightmare fuel
I cant think of a worse way to die to be honest, they must have been terrified.
@Sir Panda The captain got 16 years, the rest of the crew members deemed responsible got 2 years. Time they served because the captain hadn't given them the details.
@ToXiCxMuSiC no death penalty in Italy mate
Honestly I can see how they would have thought help would come after some time... After waiting for hours in there... In disbelief they would drown.... I honestly can't believe such shit can happen in 21st century we have so much tech but we still can't outsmart human stupidity
No matter how big, how expensive a ship is built, the sea will always be GREATER.
And the stupidity of men the GREATEST; what a captain.
The sea does not like to be challenged stop thinking your ships are "unsinkable" because they will swallow up that metal husk like nothing

It's always irked me how the passengers of any ship in trouble are told everything is ok until a lot of good escape time is past. Scary stuff.
They think it feel it will not cause panic right away if they do this
Being told everything will be okay is fine because panic will cause a lot of problems. Not actually doing anything to make the situation okay definitely isn’t fine though.

Arguing is much better in Italian.
The aggressive hand gesturing was not shown because it was not suitable for most audiences.
The same way flirting is best done in French and orders are best given in German.

Never heard of Maltese arguments?
They're hilarious
You can never tell when an Italian is arguing they are aggressive about everything especially pizza
I just been on Costa Serena in Thailand to Cambodia (16th May 2023 to 19th May 2023) and I must say the similarities to Concordia and Serena are surreal to imagine what it was really like during this horrific disaster. I remember the sinking of Concordia very well in 2012 and it made me think about my trip a few days before embarking on my own journey in the Gulf of Thailand. However, with all safety measures set aside and regardless of the past, they seem to have proven with my experience that they have put safety first. It is an amazing ship and one should experience.
