Note to all who get on a cruise ship know how to get to lifeboat stations know your surroundings immediately, being that knowledgeable you personally can save lives.
This reminds me of the sinking of M/S Estonia. That ship was smaller, about 25 % than the Costa Concordia. At the time of the sinking Estona had 989 people onboard and 852 did not make it. That makes this disaster much smaller, only about 20 people are dead and some are still missing. And that may be very hard for their families, but still, they saved a lot of people. And they could have saved more, if they only had a real captain.
32 people died in the Costa Concordia in total (I’m not trying to correct you because I know you were typing at the time of it happening), then one Salvage crewmember died, making a total of 33
I was on a cruise ship last year and we hit a wharf and got told to stay in our cabins. Oh hell no! We got outta our room ASAP. They welded the side of the ship and we left that evening. I was scared.
So each and every captain needs to go down with his ship? - Now that's a horrible job to have. No, a captain is the last man OFF the ship. He's not supposed to go down with it, sweetheart.
wouldn't it make more sense to start turning to shore right after the ship hit the rock, AND TO NOT ABBANDON THE SHIP LIKE A COWARD WHILE EVERYONE WAS STILL ABOARD
Angel Marie Green Eyes They lost power to the engines and rudder, they couldn’t turn. It was a coincidence of winds and currents that grounded the ship.
If the staff, crew and officers had the courage to take all those responsibilities, teamwork and did not abandon the ship... Probably there's a chance all of the passengers survived. Incompetent, poor leadership, poor emergency response of the captain. Such a coward officer. What a shame.
@@cavonmccormick the captain needs to be suspend without pay for 3 months drug tested and go through retraining with other cruise captain for 18 months before being rehired to charter any more cruises anywhere
My parents got on this boat (or at LEAST the same company) like on the last one before this happened so I’m happy they didn’t choose to wait and get on this one
I was on the port of billow from Dover to Calais we were on the way to our flat in Spain and we ended in the water instead it's the most horrible thing that can happen to anyone my harts go out to those who were on that ship but with mine we were looking after very well I must say
Big difference between Titanic and Concordia is that Titanic actually had a competent and disciplined crew. A hallmark of British seamanship. The manner and negligence with which Concordia's crew conducted themselves was a shock to the entire maritime industry worldwide. Titanic was so tragic because the ship itself was a death trap by design......lifeboats for only half on board.....sailing on icy waters. Concordia would've been a masterpiece of safety had the crew did their job.
Titanic captain was a clown and a show-off guy just like the Concordia captain was. He gave full power to set a new trans-atlantic record time, and at the same time letting the 1st class passangers use the ships emergency radio for calling their friends at home. He had been warned about icebergs, but didn't gave a rat's ass about it. He was fully occupied impressing the rich men and ladies when the ship crashed into an iceberg. Captain's fault alone. Compare to Schettiono here - exactly the same. On top of it Schettino was a coward who abandoned ship, which Titanic captain didn't. So what? The brave clown of a captain didn't save anything by staying there, except his own, useless honour, the poorer 2nd and 3rd class passangers became his victims. I don't think they can use his "staying on the bridge" to so much. If Titanic's crew were half as good as you say - why did they allow life boats with only few rich ladies and their dogs to sail away, when the vast majority still was on board? And why were the life boats so hard to get by? And why were there so few? No, the Titanic suffered a horrible dare devil of a captain, and some not-so-good crew, who smashed the ship into an iceberg on it's maiden voyage. lol it's 3 years agon you wrote your post.
Two other web sites (including AIS) are showing that the turn was done in the opposite direction....not a left for a 180 degree turn, but to the right for an almost 360 degree turn ....The final result is the same (huge gash on the port side is up and the starboard site of the ship is under water....but still, did the dropping of the anchor and the actual directon of the turn cause her to list so much to the side opposite the gash.
The funniest thing about all of this is because of the comparison with Titanic because. I have seen a photo of a Modern cruse ship from 2014 and it was photo shopped so that it looks like Titanic is in front of the modern cruse ship. When I saw that picture I never laughed so hard In a while because Titanic today is a tug boat compared to all other boats.
The Costa Concordia would have never crashed if the captain never started taking orders from his junk I bet you he was probably fucking jack in off when he crashed he is responsible for all the lifes of his passengers not just his family
Ship hits rock & gets holed in engineering spaces. Engine crew scrambling for their lives, all power is lost. Water tight doors fail due to lack on electrical power. The captain probably wasn't aware of actual damage for 15-30 minutes. When he is made aware he steers towards shore, momentum is carrying the ship along. Drops the hook (anchor), ships momentum pivots the ship to port & all the inrushing water slooshes to the port side and causes the ship to roll over.
he should have immediately sailed to the nearest port and have everyone walk off the ship but we don't have any idea as to when the ship started to tilt etc., vague details
that and how companies are building them up and not out causing the cruse ships to have a higher center of gravity causing more sway and easier to capsize, compared to a ship that is designed to transports oil or other goods (like cars, food, toys, etc..)
You'd think by now they'd make ships with compartments running the length of the ship, rather than how they are now, so that common scrapes like this one could be maintained
Ships used to have those up until the early 1900s. They call them longitudinal compartments. They don't have them now because they were found to make ships very unstable and capsize very quickly. The Lusitania had them and when she was torpedoed she developed such a bad list that the lifeboats on one side could not be lowered.
Costa Concordia displays the problem will all ships of that kind. They are upside down icebergs, not being able to handle critical situations without mechanical assistance to hold the balance. Look at the gigantic "flaps" it is equipped with. These boats are in serious trouble without power assistance. Without stabilising flaps these boats are unstable and will tilt in bad weather if they loose the power assistense to operate these flaps, i.e. if the engines die.
The way the compartments are designed is just ridiculous.Unless the ship's hit perpendicular they're ineffective. I thought the Titanic made that quite clear. The compartments should go both the length and the with of the ship.
This is one of those maritime tragedies that should not have happened. Modern ships are designed to remain afloat even after taking on a certain amount of water. But when the ship has such a huge gash on its side below the water line, the passengers should know how to evacuate the vessel which many of these souls did not.
@TheHickstead the ship went down because of the rip in the side it it was a small rip that only effected one of the water tight compartments the ship would still be up right now but the rip effected multiple compartments and from what i understand when they made the turn is when the ship fell on its side which would mean that it was sinking because water was able to enter the ship at places the water normally wouldn't touch causing it to fill and go down
yes but you forget that the titanic's watertight compartments werent sealed off completely. in other words, the water just flowed over the "watertight" barrier
I have seen perhaps a dozen different videos of this tradigy , and , STILL , no SEQUENCE OF ORDERS LEADING UP TO THE GROUNDING ... when , ARE we going to get the SEQUENCE ?
Twice the size because of so many more decks. 4000 people on board with 1000 being crew? One crew member for every 3 passengers to me sounds extremely high. Plus they didn't seem properly trained for such a situation. Lack of communication/training was vital here. Plus, many died in the elevators that were stuck after the power went out. Nobody thought to check them? Has to be the worst way to die, in a 8x8 box with 10 other people, pitch black, and you start to feel water on your feet and rising. Completely %$@ing helpless. The captain only got 16 years for abandoning his post. Should be life, he lied to port authority about his ship, left the ship with 1000's still on board and refused to return. That's grade A douchbaggery award of the century.
The ship needs to be balanced, so if it is taking water from one side then you need to pump water to the part on the other side if you do not want to end up upside down...
All of the crew and the captain especially had seen the Titanic and they knew what to do but they just didn't do it. yes, the captain was in shock, but there are other people to think about and if he can swim which I hope they would hire a captain that could swim, he should be there helping! he sure like the notoriety and having his picture taken.
your wrong. the titanic was only 18 feet shorter then the costa concordia. 3 football fields = 900 feet. the titanic was 882 feet long. trust me, i have studied the titanic for more then half of my life.
0:15 I love how WRONG the reporter is here. The ship never “Turned”, it simply just got caught in the wind and was pushed back to shore that way. They had absolutely NO power to the engines and rudder at the time.
size ofthe ship isn't just lenght. In fact ships' size are classed by tonnage and Titanic to Costa Concordia was not even half (46000T to 114500T) then there is the shear size and amountof decks.
They should of had software such as depth finders that map the area , map the area of half a mile in all direction and they would set off certain levels of alarms -levels of danger. and you could avoid these tradgedy's--isnt this the day of technology -and where in this case money is of no concern to be equipped with this technology--WTF folks
I feel just awful for that poor Captain! First, his navigator screws up by suggesting a "new short-cut that can trim 3 minutes off our voyage this evening..."; Then he immediately and heroically takes control of the emergency like a born leader with years of tactical training and nautical experience, and and begins to peacefully and methodically vacate all passengers and crew from the sinking ship. Then the unthinkable happens...he slips and falls into a right into a departing Life-Boat and is among the first to leave the ship. Did he bruise a knee? Did he twist an ankle? We're praying for you Captain and Thank you.
heard some coments that this ship costs 100 milions dolars..wtf a plane costs more then that.this ship costs like 2.000. milions dolars iff they paid 400.000 milions in rescue.
smith doe yes it should do what titanic did it at points during the movie zoomed out on the sinking ship then back to the main part inside the ship for the asteroid it'll goto the asteroid POV and show it getting closer and closer to earth then it'll go back to earth and the story
SwiftFoxyGamer see i think we hit gold with the first idea about the captain and his lady friend. what would happen is rather the king of the world part it'd be "king of his penis" . you also had a good idea about the astroid we need to meet with a writer before our ideas get stolen from us.
Passenger ships are judged by size by Gross Registered Tonnage. (GRT) This has nothing to do with weight. It measures the enclosed space in a ship. The Costa Concordia did not weigh 115,000 tons. The infamous and overrated Titanic was about 46,000 tons so the Concordia is 2.5 times bigger. Watertight compartment design has not changed that much in 100 years. You divide a ship into compartments and most ship's today are built to survive flooding in 2-3 compartments. Obviously, the damage was more severe than the cruise ship was designed to withstand. (And there is no need to cap watertight compartments, they will not overflow until a large number of sections have been breached)
The comparisons to to Titanic seem needlessly sensationalist. Though this was tragic, it was nothing like Titanic, and to say otherwise is simply false.
The comparisons happen because the sinking took place on the centennial year of Titanic sinking, and also because just enough compartments were damaged to sink the ship in both cases due to a similar type of collision (sideways grazing below the float line).
@mskincaid1 - I think it is just a stupid comparison as who cares about the Titanic it is ancient history. I think what is interesting about this is how much new time it got around the world compared to far bigger disasters that did not have rich people on board. 1000 dead Filipinos wouldn't have got their own graphic.
so is your car. anything can kill you at any given time. I just got off a cruise ship last week, had the time of my life. Monday the sea was rough due to hurricane Irma, the cruise line change ports for us to keep us safe and let us still sail. I got another cruise booked for January and working on another one a year from now. life is to short to be worried about what will kill you, sadly we will all die one day, now yes we all want live as long as possible
I agree!! I promised my friends I would og on one cruise with them, and I kept my promise and I WENT! BUT I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN, EVER!!! I FELT TRAPPED THE ENTIRE TIME! I LIKE GOING WHEREVER I WANT TO ON LAND!!!!
I’m my expert opinion a ship of that DRAUGHT does not belong that close to land. I am master engineer and salvage expert nick SLOANE cape town South Africa 🇿🇦
@blognewb I agree. The ability to communicate knowledge to lots of people has never been greater. Nobody wants to work all day and go home to watch tv and learn about how tomorrow is going to suck more. we, as americans, love to escape into disaster and adventure from arms length. Medical bills and bankruptcy is too close to home.
I am 63 years old and I have never been on a cruise ship and I am O.K. with that.
My friend almost went on the costa Concordia, but she ended up not going. She and I are both so relieved.
Note to all who get on a cruise ship know how to get to lifeboat stations know your surroundings immediately, being that knowledgeable you personally can save lives.
Ok i got it
That’s one of the reasons why ships do drills before they set sail
Costa Concordia was called the ship of dreams, and it was.....it really was.
Every night in my dreams I see me I feel me that is how I know I'll go on...
Every time I hear about the costa concorda I end up hearing about the titanic,
Cause the titanic set an unprecedented event in cruise ship history

Not even close.Not even close.
Estonia was the worst,even more worse than Titanic.
People on Estonia didnt have time at all.

Passenger ships are judged by size by Gross Registered Tonnage. (GRT) This has nothing to do with weight. It measures the enclosed space in a ship. The Costa Concordia did not weigh 115,000 tons. The infamous and overrated Titanic was about 46,000 tons so the Concordia is 2.5 times bigger. Watertight compartment design has not changed that much in 100 years. You divide a ship into compartments and most ship's today are built to survive flooding in 2-3 compartments. Obviously, the damage was more severe than the cruise ship was designed to withstand. (And there is no need to cap watertight compartments, they will not overflow until a large number of sections have been breached)
I agree.
The comparisons to to Titanic seem needlessly sensationalist. Though this was tragic, it was nothing like Titanic, and to say otherwise is simply false.
The comparisons happen because the sinking took place on the centennial year of Titanic sinking, and also because just enough compartments were damaged to sink the ship in both cases due to a similar type of collision (sideways grazing below the float line).
Why drive so close to land? Stupid if you ask me...plenty of ocean lol don't you have underwater sonar to scan out underwater debris? lol..
I guess the crew was too confident.
Cruise ships travel close to shore so people can see the sights
Faris Nasir When a ship like this collides with something, collision alarms should go off but Schettino apparently turned them off.
The captain claimed he was trying to do a land salute very dumb if you ask me.
Welp this video is wrong
can i subscribe twice ? :D
@mskincaid1 - I think it is just a stupid comparison as who cares about the Titanic it is ancient history. I think what is interesting about this is how much new time it got around the world compared to far bigger disasters that did not have rich people on board. 1000 dead Filipinos wouldn't have got their own graphic.
Titanic was designed to float with 4 compartments flooded. Costa Concordia was only design to float with 2.
Floating death-traps. Stay ashore.
No their not. It's just the ignorant captain. I've been on the MS Harmony Of the Seas, it didn't even wobble. It's much safer than land, and air.
so is your car. anything can kill you at any given time. I just got off a cruise ship last week, had the time of my life. Monday the sea was rough due to hurricane Irma, the cruise line change ports for us to keep us safe and let us still sail. I got another cruise booked for January and working on another one a year from now. life is to short to be worried about what will kill you, sadly we will all die one day, now yes we all want live as long as possible
No..
Small Town Trucking you're gay
I agree!! I promised my friends I would og on one cruise with them, and I kept my promise and I WENT! BUT I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN, EVER!!! I FELT TRAPPED THE ENTIRE TIME! I LIKE GOING WHEREVER I WANT TO ON LAND!!!!
@LJW100874 hey didn't you know we have a manager culture these days? The brains are in the office, they don't listen to the craftsmanship anymore.
I’m my expert opinion a ship of that DRAUGHT does not belong that close to land. I am master engineer and salvage expert nick SLOANE cape town South Africa 🇿🇦
@blognewb I agree. The ability to communicate knowledge to lots of people has never been greater. Nobody wants to work all day and go home to watch tv and learn about how tomorrow is going to suck more. we, as americans, love to escape into disaster and adventure from arms length. Medical bills and bankruptcy is too close to home.
