- Back in the early 1990's came an incredible event, most now, don't remember or know about. It was an event that ended with the sinking of a family cruise ship and an incredible air rescue all while the captain had already escaped. This is the story of the sinking, of the Oceanos.

That Captain though... "If people want to stay they can stay."
...on a sinking Ship?
Yeah like he is soo out of touch no one wanted to stay you just left them there out of your own selfisheness
I wonder if there is at least one ship captain that would be like: "We're sinking? Then stop wasting our time, prepare the boats and call the help! I'll stay in the control room to see what I can do before we are rescued."
@@augakem I was about to say most would but after the oceanos and costa concordia i wonder how many good captains there really is
shadowXXe - Well, at least Captain Smith didn’t leave.
@@even___ Yeah but that was over 100 years ago times have changed and it looks like modern-day captains are getting more and more arrogant
The crew who abandoned ship WHILE telling everyone that everything is ok should have been charged with 500+ counts of attempted murder....
Sounds like the western political environment right now.

It gets a bit more awkward when you realize that Moss Hills, the guitarist, singer and one of the entertainers, have survived the sinking of two cruise ships, the second being the MS Achille Lauro, which caught fire in the Indian Ocean and started sinking. Moss Hills used what he learned on the Oceanos and helped people to safety. He refuses to stop entertaining on cruise ships and still sails.
What an absolute legend. Godspeed to him.
"Until Neptune takes me, I'll keep doing it" Moss Hills, probably

@@XaviMacBash Dad, please no, dont reestablish the soviet union
To be fair if you put the same people who manage and operate cruise ship theatrical productions in charge of operations that include coordinating and moving large numbers of people they would probably do pretty darn well. Actually they have to nowadays in order to work for cruise ships you have to prove to be sea capable and can manage lifeboats and drills
I still find it staggering that the Captain, Officers and Engineers weren't jailed! This could have resulted in hundreds of lives lost by their inaction.
That's Greece for ya. I am sometimes ashamed of my country and its people
Yes, the crew who initiated the release of half-filled lifeboats deserved to be charged for sure
@@man.of.culture231 What a wrong thing to say.. For a man's or a group of men's action's, the whole country and it's people got to be blamed!! What the hell, the nationality or the people living there has to do with that idiot captain's action's or the company's, that makes you ashamed. You would be more correct if you said "that's greek governments and their laws for leting them go free". You have a ton of things to NOT be ashamed of being a Greek and havning that huge history and legacy and the common people living there are among the best.
@@CODINE80 as an American, you can be ashamed of how you’re country is being ran or of the people who run it without losing respect for the basis and culture of your country. I guess it might be different culturally but i doubt this dude is saying “i hate Greece”, they’re probably just saying there needs to be some changes so it live up to its potential. lighten up a bit:)
@@katb6709 OK, I got what you mean but I suggest you read again what he says.... "That's Greece for ya.... ashamed of my country...". The whole thing you wrote goes directly as an answer to that dude because he is the one showing hate and despise for his country when it is actually the reasons you wrote about the people who run things what he hates truly. Also, I knew from the start what he meant.. i hear people all day cursing their country for politicians fails... it is how you can express exactly what you feel, the core here.
To the Oceanos, thank you for holding on until every one of your passengers was safe. You were a great ship

Moss Hills, the entertainer, was the last person off the ship. Hero!
Madame Bomb he was more a captain-like figure than the jerk who abandoned ship at the first chance.
The useless captain should have been last to get off the ship. Since he exhibited extreme cowardice, perhaps he would've been better off going down with the ship!!
He told his story on WNYC's Snap Judgement show. It a crazy story to listen to. Him and others were literally loading the passengers onto the rescue lines until everyone was off the boat.
Link to episode: www.wnyc.org/story/will-be-day-i-die-sinking-cruiseship-oceanos/
@@slupot no. He should've never got off the ship
@@sero agreed. Should have gone down with it since people were still on board and more so for cowardice. I dont mind if a captain leaves, but only once he knows EVERYONE else is off the ship. Captains are supposed to stay on board until then.
Imagine being on a cruise ship to entertain people then having to end up running the evacuation

“Fine ill do it myself”
Two entertainers not only coordinated the rescue of the passengers, they went below to assess the damage to the ship and its rate of sinking _AND_ went to the bridge to establish comms with the rescue helicopters!
Legends!
Moss Hills is the man! Pretty much did the same on the Achille Lauro when it went down.
I agree!
@@davidwhitten3596 Should have gotten a captains commission. He already did better than the lot on the Oceanis.
Whatever they were paid it wasn’t nearly enough.
Update : August 2021
Two passengers Neal Shaw and Mick O’Mahoney who helped get off people from the stricken ship have been given bravery awards by National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) of South Africa
Only 30 years after the event, but better late than never
Well done to both of them
No kidding! That’s great!
Officers & captain should have all been arrested & the entertainment staff deserve awards as well. “Better late than never”
@@scotthill1600 Agreed !
An entertainer Moss Hills on the ship found the bridge empty as was the engine room. He, with the help if his wife and a couple of other folk sent out the initial mayday message, liaised with rescue teams and helped all passengers get lifted off the sinking ship by helicopter. He was one of the last to leave, if not the last. Not a single life was lost. A true hero. Moss Hills.
I was working very nearby when it happened.
Awards always take a while to make it through whatever process is needed to ensure they're awarded to the right people and you usually need to be nominated for them in the first place. Add into the fact that South Africa has a hell of a lot of problems with its government and it's no surprise it took so long.
@@brianmorrison9168 He also still entertains to this day, and also saved another sinking ship in the Indian ocean.
The "Captain" says, " *IF* the passengers *WANT* to stay..."
yea, I'm sure they are having a blast, and don't want to leave!!!
Maybe the captain think the passenger want to roleplay titanic
I dont know why this made me laugh ao hard
@@rachelanderson8705 haha :-)
I couldn't say better 😂

...That is HILARIOUS. Thanks for the laugh!
lmao
Lol
Lmao that would explain how the captain was never charged.
Luke Mckenzie 😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀
I can’t understand how the Captain thought he wasn’t in the wrong for trying to abandon ship. He is responsible for the ship and the souls on board her.
Sounds like he just didn't care. He could have been the only survivor and it wouldn't have phased him in the slightest, especially if he had a half-dozen lifeboats full of people's valuables to pawn off later.
The truth is that no one really knows how they will react in a crisis until they are faced with one. Turns out this guy was a coward all along. One thing that cowards often do is attempt to justify their cowardice to avoid the crushing realization of that reality. He has to rationalize his actions both to convince himself that he's not a total piece of shit, and also to avoid admitting to anything he could potentially be prosecuted for.
@@drumguy1384 While that's true, the same could be said about literally any job, and it's really not an excuse. I get that he was scared, of course he should be, his ship is sinking in a storm. But captains are well paid for the responsibility of keeping the passengers safe, because it is a potentially dangerous job. The captain is nothing but a pathetic criminal.
@@alice45-fgd-456drt I mean, I said he was a coward and a total piece of shit. What more do you want from me!? lol
The entertainment crew deserves so much recognition. The military does too, for what they did was remarkable, but the entertainment staff is not trained or prepared for that kind of thing. They did it anyways and 574 people have their lives because of it. Truly amazing. Their names need to be immortalized.
Moss hills, one of the entertainment crew, had used his experience from this event to save another sinking ship that was in the Indian ocean.
Despite these events, he refuses to stop entertaining and still plays music on the waves to this day.
TH-cam is steering me into sinking ship videos again...

Same here.... going on a cruise tomorrow
We went on oasis of the Seas last year. Amazing if you don’t mind huge cruise ships.
Yo same

I'm starting to think that even pirate captains were more trustable than these cruise ships' captains..
at least pirate captains are defiant enough to fight back against other people(you can see somalian pirates on flimsy boats taking on huge tanker ships). these cruise ship captains would either just surrender or retreat
@@lillyie Lol..Somali people are not pirates, other countries pour dangerous substances and chemicals in their ocean causing people to get cancer and increase in defect of children born.. they are doing this for their country, and people label them pirates like they do this for no reason? Once you start to learn the background...you see why they do these things.
@@MeekaI K...but they still raid and pillage ships, therefore, making them pirates.
Rover yes but they still attack and rob ships so we consider them pirates. Thanks for your thought on the subject that no one wanted.
Just remember the pirate captain gets paid by keeping his crew alive
The cruise captain gets paid to keep his coworkers alive and not the other people who keep him payed
He admitted to leaving the ship while there were still passengers. As a Greek, I have to say I am disgusted by any of the officers who left the ship before everyone was safe. Actually, he could've been a hero... if he had a spine!
Moss Hills is a hero. I’ve just watched the Achille Lauro video on this channel which Moss was also on and saved many people. If there were more people like him in the world then it would be a much better place. I hate to think what would have happened if he and the rest of the entertainment staff hadn’t taken charge of the sinking vessel.
Yes! He is a hero! But I’d be apprehensive about getting on the same ship as him. If I were him I’d be playing on land now!
Titanic: Goes down vertical
Costa Concordia: captain abandons ship
Oceanos : lemme have both
Though Ill have to say, she held on till every last person was rescued off the ship before sinking. Making this even more incredible at no loss of life..
Wow...
Hehhehheh

In the Titanic's case, the musicians stayed and played till the end.
Interviewer: "Moss, you are a true hero. And the many people who couldn't find space in the lifeboats, you saved their lives, too. Tell us how you accomplished such an amazing feat."
Moss: "It was the helicopters who did it, really."
Hats off to the South African Military for their steadfast dedication to their mission of saving those lives. That was NOT an easy task. Every minute counted.

@Aristole Sapphire wow what a bozo that captain is
Ahahahahahahaha
The captain's excuse was cowardly and disgusting. "When I order abandon ship, it doesn't matter what time I leave. Abandon is for everybody". That mentality is frightening when you and crew are the ones on board who are TRAINED to handle this situation, not the passengers!
As a professional rescuer who operates within the special operations community I can attest that the actions of Mr. Moss Hills are heroic, above and beyond the call and duty. Squared away dude, very squared away.
Worst part is, the captain was never incarcerated and continued to be a captain until retirement
airwickfreshner at the very least he should’ve gotten jailed, if not worse. There needs to be a set punishment if a captain abandons ship before he does absolutely everything in his power to get the people off.
That is disgusting
I wonder what his application process was like. “Some captain and seafaring experience preferred but not necessary”?
It should be a 20 year mandatory minimum. Max of life in prison without parole
What a swine.
"The captain goes down with the ship."
Captian: You never said what ship.
Paul D Lol “plays Uno reverse card”
The captain isn't expected to go down with the ship, but they are expected to remain on board until all the passengers and crew have been safely evacuated. The captain should be the last person off the ship, not one of the first.
"Also, I think I can do a much better job of going down with the ship from the shore."
This is a genius comment
ah yes, captian
I can't imagine how scary is must have been as a passenger to be on a sinking ship, knowing the crew just abandoned you without even saying there was a problem.
As a fellow Zimbabwean of British stock myself, I am honoured to know Moss Hills is one of us. A courageous, chivalrous, kind and compassionate hero. A remarkable man. Proud of my countrymen. We Zimbabweans have been witness to some of the biggest historical events in history.
Let’s honor the crew who, in a time of crisis, did absolutely nothing and abandoned ship with half-filled lifeboats so that that 550 passengers who they left to die had to be rescued by entertainment crew and helicopters.
Don‘t forget that they heroically saved their helpless personal belongings!

@@himynameisdan9259 Who else would've taken care of those poor poor bags and suitcase?
@@ageamiu8923 LOL he is SUCH A HEROIC PERSON what would we do without him
True heroes
The crew members who left the ship with unfilled life boats should have been charged with attempted murder.
That should be how they charge crew that does that
@@bjplayz9940 They left 500 people to die. Did you not watch the video? Didn’t even notify the passengers before fleeing.
@@bjplayz9940 First, because they provided assurance to the passengers that they would assist in keeping them safe in an emergency. That caused the passengers to make their decisions to board under what turned out to be false pretenses. Additional risk was present that the passengers were not aware of when they boarded, and that risk was created by the crew. Second, because the crew took equipment the passengers needed to live, knowing full well their actions could condemn many passengers to death. It was only through herculean efforts that those deaths were prevented.
I wouldn't say attempted murder, more like involuntary murder, which is where you know someone is in a life threatening situation, but don't bother to save them. I feel like that would make more sense, but I agree. The crew should be charged for attempted/involuntary murder.
@@colorado_river5003 At the very least negligent homicide.
I watched this again because it's just so mind boggling. I also wanted to say that those South African Airforce crews were some of the finest pilots and crewmen of any military of any nation. The entertainment staff were also absolute heroes. As a pro drummer I feel a great sense of pride.
Moss Hills was also on the Achille Lauro when it went down..... and yep.... he helped people on that ship get off as well.
when it comes to absolutely no loss of life, everyone *except* the crew is a hero here. the entertainers who helped direct people into rescue boats and called for more help. the other ships close by. the helicopters. and, of course, the oceanos. she held on as long as she could so everyone could get off. what an insane, incredible story she has.
She was a great ship, she held onto life to ensure all her passengers got off before letting go...
She held up for 19 hours? I think? Not sure. But it reminded me of how fast RMS Lusitania sunk.
@@Josh_728 Lusitania sunk in only 18 minutes taking down a thousand people.

Sewol ferry ship
Sewol ferry was so heartbreaking oh my god.. I fucking hate the captain and the crew members how dare they just leave 300 students behind to die 😔
I mean the Concordia was chaos
What’s so amazing is that Moss was on another sinking ship a few years later and again was a hero along with his wife.
I've been suffering from such a terrible depression lately, But after hearing this amazing story and knowing it was the musicians who saved everybody, Never could I have been prouder to be a musician myself!❤
That man is not a captain, he is a coward.
Hey, let's not forget the crew, who heroically left their posts in half empty lifeboats to save themselves and they're possessions
Thats why the song goes, "I've got a message for the captain, But the captain isn't here. He's piled his crew and all their luggage, in a boat to disappear". Definitely a coward. If you are a captain, you dont step foot off your ship until everyone else is off. And if they don't/can't? Well you go down with said ship.
He’s a peace of crap.

Those entertainers are real leaders. Captain deserves to walk the plank.
I study lost ships. The reason is it shows the incredible amount of human courage in the worst of times. Ships are their own enclosed environment, with often only their resources on board to survive. There are extraordinary captains of course, but you'd be surprised at how many of the heroes are simply people who rose to amazing heights. The SS Pennsylvania was saved by a passenger (although he had been a crew member before, credited with saving many lives on the RMS Atlantic, the baker on the Titanic, and so many more. People whom you wouldn't know as amazing until they were. I don't think they knew either until that moment, they simply did what had to be done and became heroes.
When you said every passenger got safely off the ship I never been so happy, I am so happy they all lived
me too
cus before this video, i was looking at titanic sinking and concordia sinking
it was devastating
this made me happier
Meg bleh Me too ❤️😊
I hope they weren’t wrong
But eventually everyone's gonna die. The real question is are we going to HEAVEN or HELL? Hell is much worse than sinking in the ocean. JESUS is the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN because HE loves you so much that HE gave HIS life for you on the cross! Speak to HIM, you can hear HIS OWN VOICE! JESUS is soooo REAL!!

Titanic entertainers: played until they drowned
Oceanos entertainers: saved everyone from drowning
I’m happy those entertainers did something good, the titanic tried to calm everyone and Oceanos saved lives
Well to be fair, the situation and circumstances between those events were completely different.
Oceanos staff knew if they acted quickly they had a chance to save most. Titanic Staff were aware no matter how fast and efficient they were in evacuating passengers that their Fate was sealed for the majority onboard.
@@imbatman2319 plus panix would've ensured the evacuation would've been worse off
@@SudrianTales Poppy cock. Every coward says that, "If we tell people the truth they will panic and more lives will be lost." So tired of that crappy view. What makes for a successful evac? A calm and well trained crew.
@@imbatman2319 And there were no helicopters in 1912.
Robin Boltman was the best magician I have ever known. He successfully made two ships disappear: Achille Lauro and Oceanos.
Boltman’s parrot couldn't stop talking and interrupting his routine. Boltman and the parrot ended up in a lifeboat watching the Oceanos slip beneath the waves and the parrot hasn't said a word. Finally they get to dry land the parrot says. “Ok wise-arse, I give up, where did you hide the ship?”
I sailed on that ship 2 years previously from Pireaus to Istambul. The captain hosted his friends during entertainment, disregarding other passengers. Our cabin was switched during the initial sailing, much to our dismay. The subsequent actions of the captain 2 years when the ship took on water and sank came as no surprise to me. I read the headlines in Pennsylvania newspaper 2 years later. I still have that paper.
As a Greek man, I want to apologise for the captain's actions. This man has no correlation with the Greek nautical tradition, dating back to ancient years. He acted like a weak, a coward and we as a nation under no circumstances want to be seen in the same way. My apologies
You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault that he was a bad captain.
U dont have to say sorry
a man of pride I like it
Chris Anagn. You do not have to be sorry we forgive you and him
He doesn’t deserve your apology
The guitarist was actually involved in TWO sinking ships.. He was a hero in both instances.
The magician, Roy Boltman, was on the Achille Lauro when the ship caught fire and sunk, three years later, but he didn't need to be an hero that time, since the evacuation was done in perfect order, with the captain being the last one to abandon the ship, several hours after the passengers and almost an hour after the last crew members.

I actually saw the Oceanos key side in Durban harbour before she embarked, she wasn't a rusty ship at all as you described, I saw freighters in far worse condition than she was in the docks. As a South African we were shocked and couldn't believe what happened but back then our armed forces were very well equipped and trained to deal with these things. We also had 2 of the best open ocean rescue tugs in the Southern hemisphere, they were the "John Ross" and the "Wolrade Woltemade " they were often sent out to tow in damaged commercial shipping vessels. Oh and the pronounciation of Transkei is said as "trans -sky". It is definitely known as the wild coast for it's serious storms and severe currents. Thanks for an awesome video 😁👍🏻👍🏻
I literally was born in 2002 I had no idea this even existed. I’m sure it was scary to hear back then
There should be a movie about the two entertainers helping the passengers to safety.
You just know that Mark Wahlberg will be one of them ^^
oh my god yes
Romax 24245 there should be a movie about them. Maybe multiple versions from different Studios. So they can get paid and paid and paid and paid
60cm Hengst and he totally should. I could also see the Rock featuring in this as one of the helicopter Pilots. And I'm totally seeing Christina Ricci as one of the passengers. That girl can play anything. Talk about range.
There should be a movie about this whole story in general.
What does the concordia, oceanos, and the sewol ferry(r.i.p) have in common?
They all have cowardy captains
I never heard of the Sewol Ferry before. I'm going to check it out now.
Holy cow. This is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. There's no alarm. Its like a normal day. No search of the ship. "No ROK divers competent enough?" I find that hard to believe. The captain left the ship, but he was helping people off board. No one seems upset. Then Park arrives and the rescuers "pretend" to be working for her benefit. All Park cares about is getting good video feed. She "orders" there to be "no casualties." Really? "Oh, if the president orders it, then we should get to work." I guess the real error is not ordering an abandon ship. Only civilian volunteers bothered to look for bodies. This is BIZARRE.
I made a joke to myself: The Mobile Combat Police will probably keep rescuers away. Then, almost immediately upon thinking that, I see the yellow jackets. Oh. My. God. Well, not rescue efforts exactly, since there were none, but the parents. The only good thing is that it was the beginning of the end for the President.

God bless the entertainment staff that stayed and did the jobs of the actual crew who abandoned 500 people to die!
No 1 Died
Nike boi Im trying to say that the captain and other crew member left all the passengers behind on the boat, not caring that they could have all died.
@@Nightwalker-zk6ce I'm Just trying to say No 1 died Feel me Ok thx
Nike boi I get it, I just think that it was really selfish of the captain to leave the passengers on the ship to fend for themselves because people could have very easily died. Sorry, I didn’t mean to come off as rude or confrontational.
On the cruise ship, the entertainment staff is also the actual crew. They do the emergency drill at least once a week.
“... telling them that ‘We will provide the rock, and the ship will provide the roll.’”
What a way to make light of things.
More like bad foreshadowing
More like EXTREMELY accurate comedy
That's actually incredible that the ship held on until just after everyone was evacuated.
Was a good ship let down by dodgy repairs and a cowardly captain
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 yup
The ship managed to stay afloat just long enough for everyone to evacuate before finally sinking
Reminds me of the B-17 "all american"
Had a midair with a BF-109, almost tearing the tail off, but the plane was able to drop it's bombs, fly back to base, and only once the last crew member was on the ground did the tail finally break off
Everybody gangsta till your captain and crew are gone... then you see the entertainers and your gangsta again
Everyone gangsta on the bridge til they realize the ship is sinking, then gangsta again when thy're in the lifeboats.
Yeah but imagine on what happened on "Sewol ferry in Korea" the ship is bound to jeju island, that ship is filled with students, the dumbest part was the captain and other crew left the students inside the ship sinking, while most of the crew and the captain was on, safety boats sorry my bad english
Nah you good, ya I cant imagine the fear... crew in the lower parts of the ship's of pearl harbor were trapped in the ship's when they capsized and people were trying to saw through the hull to save them
I’d be gangsta too, mainly because I like sinking ship videos- uh not like you’d think, I find it fascinating that something like, say, the ocean can take out a ship, however I do not like that many people died, that I’ve never liked the fact that that’s happened. Also yes, I wanna go on a ship even after watching these videos and titanic, Rest In Peace for all the people who died on any ship that’s sunk. Please don’t take this the wrong way by the way- I’m not good at making sense with reply’s and comments.

I find it so fascinating that a crew of only entertainment staff managed to save ALL the scared passengers. Not all heroes wear capes, as the old saying goes.
>built in the 50s
At this point do I even need to keep watching?
>notoriously treacherous
Do I _really_ need to keep watching at this point?
>harsh decay
Screw it, I'm too far in.
You forgot
>reckless captain ignoring common sense and leaving port early during excessively harsh weather
Greek company.
@@MissEldira Yeap. I can agree on that part. They are not that bad but you can say that they are not that well maintained
I mean...you knew what was gonna happen cause of the thumbnail...
Ship: starts sinking
Ship captains: aight imma head out
I think you meant shit captains.
BUH DUN Tsssss
I didn't know this memes was that old. I just noticed it in 2020 🤣🤣🤣
The only captain I’ve heard that went down with the ship is captain smith
@@Lgs260495 😂😂😂
The musician that helped save everyone from this ship, was on the Achille Lauros when it went down years later...he survived that ship wreck too!!
The ship holding on long enough to make sure every soul was off board and the entertainment staff are both heros
Sounds like the captain of the Oceanos and the captain of the Costa Concordia would be great friends
Hayk Atshemyan And the Capitan of the Andrea Doria. He was one of the first onto the Stockholm after they collided. The engine room crew saved the passengers.
The "we were the cowardly asshats that dipped when things got real" crew
We should send them all on board a ship on the ocean without life boats and with no passengers. Just them, the ship and the ocean, and maybe one or two leaks.
@@Gentleman...Driver no leaks let them eat each other
Hayk Atshemyan Yeah, butt buddy’s in jail.
You should cover the sinking of the South Korean ferry Sewol from 2014. Over 300 people died, mostly high school students. They were told to stay put in their cabins by the crew. The captain fled the ship as well.
I just watched the New Yorker doc on that. I commented above on the similarities. All but one: the ROK disaster, there were no rescue efforts almost at all. It brought down the government. Well, it got the ball rolling.
April 2014, not 2013.
I remember waking up that day, awful tragedy.
ive watched it and it breaks my heart.mostly students
Which breaks me the most was....the students were sitting patiently waiting to be rescued....smiling and talking
.
One would understand if Moss Hill had of decided, "yeah I think I am going to avoid ships from now, I'll just er.. stick to entertaining on land", but nope, this legend gets right back in there, still continued entertaining on ships and even became a Cruise Director, using his experience's to help and serve others.... respects to an amazing guy...
The musicians and entertainers are absolute hero’s, but a mention has to go to the ship also!!! Stayed afloat for 19 hrs and succumbed after everybody was off 👏
if I learned something from Conocordia, Oceanos and Sewol is to do the exact opposite of what the crew tells you and that the captain is always the first to leave the ship
True story, sir.
Well we have exception too... titanic
@@aathiks9107 Adrea Doria too, the captain was the last person on the ship to make sure everyone was off.
aathi KS Yeah as heartbreaking and devastating as that was, Captain Smith was a true captain and leader. He made sure he could save as much of his crew as he could by staying behind to tell them his last order is for them to abandon ship.
@@aathiks9107 Titanic was one of the few that the captain went down with the ship. Smith was last seen heading back to his cabin as the bow went under, and nobody saw him again. He had the balls to go down with his ship, whether out of shame or honor we'll never know, but at least he did.
My grandparents were on this ship the day it went down. They were rescued by the helicopters and entertainment crew. They are still thankfully doing well and have recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. The main crew also apparently went through and looted everyones cabins for valuables before getting into the life boats. During this time all passengers were in the entertainment area. Our family doesn’t go near ships now for obvious reasons.
The more I learn about this crew the more I realize that they are trash.
what an amazing honorable crew
A great lesson was learnt from the Sinking of the Titanic that will continue to transcend from past generations to present generations to future generations. Big ups to everyone; The band members, the SA rescue team et al.👏🏽
Terrified of the ocean, and hate crowds! Last place you would catch me in on ANY CRUISE SHIP! I’m happy many people just love them! But not for me. Now I have been on a friends yacht and loved it! Always within shore and a big tinder if escape was needed! 🙏🏼
The ship is sinking, and there is no crew in sight!
Entertaining Crew: *hold my microphone*
The real heroes of this story
A case where background characters saved the day!
@@Piankhi_the_Greater yeah the main characters are usually someone from the passengers but not the music crew
Sounds like education in America. The admin fades out to leave students and teachers to fend for themselves.
@@danielmorse6597 did anyone ask tho?
“We provide the rock, the ship provides the roll.” Dude probably picked up so many women with that one line. 😂
Maybe more than those helicopters.
Especially after helping save everyone
probably some men, too
@@thedumbartist lol
He doesn’t just poop he SHITS
Wow South Africa had cruise ships back then. Had no idea my country was that nice back then. Now we get cruise ships like this coming through 3-4 times a year. Shocking back then we had them full time
It's beautiful how the ship did not go down until all passengers were off
My Father was on the ship when it sank
He was air lifted by the airforce
All he said was that the captain was really incompetent
r/thathappened
I would bet it did, since this person has a VERY South African/Afrikaans name
I should know, I'm South African too.
@@aepfelpfluecker shut the fuck up redditor
200 subscribers with no video haha funny reddit moment god stfu nigga
That seems like an understatement.
entertainer: okay now sliiiiide to the decks! sliiiiide to the boats! life jackets! (clap clap) life jackets! (clap clap) now get in real smooth. (cha cha slide music plays)
This comment is as criminally underrated as the supposed efforts of Oceanos Captain
this is the best comment
why u do dis
@@wrightfamilyfun1053 why did i get 200 likes for this
LOL, this was great.
striking resemblance between this captain and capt. schettino 😂😂... and is that moss hills on the mic ?... the man is a Godsend to cruises
Everyone survived this is amazing kudos to those people who helped
Without the South African Airforce, many would have drowned.
*engines explode*
Captain: Don't worry guys! I have a plan!
*Captain has left the server (Disconnected by user)*
Llololol
bouteille d'eau 1 big yikes lmao
Yikes! Hey attendant, can you get the guitarist to send out the Mayday SOS call?
*Crew member has been kicked from the server*
This was a good joke I liked this
That's me in the left of the picture @6:04 with my late friend Greg Clur. I'll never forget that trip.
oh wow that must have been traumatic
Sorry about your friend.
no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
@Dimitri Banakos he called him his "late friend" meaning he died at some point. After the ship incident.
I really went back to 6:04 to see two kids...
I can't imagine how horrifying that event was for everyone specially for kids and elderly people.
I remember this when it happened. I was stunned that a modern day cruise ship sunk like that. For those few crew members..the entertainment staff and passengers who stayed on board to help organize and facilitate rescue efforts I can't find enough words to express my profound pride, gratitude and quite frankly hero worship.🤗 To the coast guard crews with their courage under fire and tremendous skills...well just wow.. Thank thank Thank you Thank you...
And to all the passengers who just held on..followed instructions, reassuring and encouraging each other, not fighting or trampling, just bravo! 👍👏
To the almighty who answered so many prayers..Thank you. As for that so-called Captain and the bulk of the crew that fled with not a shred of care for the passengers one can only pray there is a reckoning in the next world if not in this one. Spineless wonders...dang jellyfish, each of you should have served lengthy prison sentences at the very least. Post abandonment, dereliction of duty, attempted murder. A prime example of the worst of humanity. An unforgettable amazing event.
Great video and thanks to Moss Hills and the entertainment staff, with no help from the bridge. Having visited South Africa many times I know firsthand how treacherous those waters can be off the coast.
Titanic captain: I will stay here and will be the last to leave or the first to die.
Oceanos captain: Lets go, Lets go!
It's more like
"Let's leave quietly so not to disturb the doomed passengers."
oopsie haha im so quirky I just fell into the boat
@@conesmad Exactly like... " Oh no. I didn't mean to end up in the lifeboat. I fell in. There was so many people rushing for lifeboats they pushed me into it. Even though they are all downstairs because we told them there was nothing to worry about and to go back to their rooms."
@@borkly2491 if you are talking about capitan smith your wrong
@@borkly2491 oh I thought you were talking about captian smith of the titanic now I know what your talking about
This might be the first ship I’ve ever seen with nobody dead.
Monster Scribble Tom the carpathia may have sank with no deaths. Don’t quote me on that tho
morgan megurine 5 deaths.
Femme Funtime five people died on carpathia
Matthew playz Oceanos claimed no lives.
@@femmefuntime Five crew members died on the Carpathia
Amazing how history somewhat repeated itself nearly 11 years later!
I remember this happening when I was a kid in South Africa but being a kid never really knew what happened so thanks for the video and filling in the gaps.
Captain's code: "the captain must go down with the ship.
Captain Avranas: "the code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules."
Well yes, a captian should not go down with the ship. He should however make sure everyone gets out safely. Especially passangers.
Good observation Captain Barbossa...😉
That shit is only in the movies we get the guest of and follow
A captain should be the last person to leave the ship
well that's the old code nowadays its more the captain should get off last
I hate it when these people leave half empty boats, like this and titanic
The state of nature
With Titanic part of the problem was passengers didn't initially want to get in the boats, especially when it meant leaving their husbands and fathers behind. It was believed by many that the ship was not sinking and that they would have to later return to the ship looking like fools. It was only after the ship started listing heavily that passengers really believed that the ship was sinking and of course by then there weren't many boats left and launching them was more difficult due to the listing. Now they don't do women and children first, but rather keep families together so they are more willing to get into the boats.
Dustin Lackershire Exactly. It was an absolute clusterfuck, however, all accounts I’ve read or heard about say the officers handled it the best they could under the circumstances. Just so sad.
@@drl5002 I always wonder why women are rescued first and men are left till the end risking their lives. Are women's lives more valuable or important than men's?
Leu Mamk Both are pretty important, man supplies the women with the baby, the baby is birthed, I’d say both are very important in their own ways so a small factor doesn’t really overrule that
Damn that outro music was so on-point.
