- On 21 March 2006, at Gil Island (British Columbia), the passenger and vehicle ferry sustained extensive damage to its hull, lost its propulsion, and drifted for 1 hour and 17 minutes before sinking in 430 m of water.

Someone was balls deep on the bridge.
They got 'alter' and 'inter' mixed up.
They denied it so we can’t know the truth for real
I was on her for the "final" sailing to Ocean Falls.
A Mayflower moving van, an ambulance, and a police car came on board.
Sailing on her about 12 years later, the captain announced we would be docking at Ocean Falls for the first time since......... My ex roommate was one of the passengers on her last trip.
Glad I wasn't on that ferry when it sank. I would've been pissed off. Even if I was in a life raft, I still would've been pissed.
Me too
So sad...What a beautiful ship, I sailed on her the summer before the sinking
ikr i feel srry for u...
I agree with you Bent. Still, I think a junior steering officer getting a 4 year jail sentence from some high court justice in Vancouver is not enough of a price to pay for what he had done to the People of British Columbia and to the residents so dependent on that particular ferry route being popular and booked. Never mind his dead couple of course.
what was it like to sail on the ship?
what ship was it
@@amelieeq9767 what are you doing here?
I was on the HMCS Yellowknife at sea in the inside passage that night. We heard the distress calls but we were too far and too slow to respond.
Chilling to hear the radio calls. Amazing animation though.
There was no reason for alarm until they failed to make the turn prescribed by the track grid on the map. Since the steering officer on duty was talking with his ex who many have been at a station outside of her normal course of duty, I think we are dealing with officers who do not have a professional sense of discipline that British Columbia deserves.
Good animation but it happened in the dead of night. "Queen of the North sank after running aground on Gil Island in Wright Sound, 135 kilometres (73 nmi) south of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. She sank at 12:25 am or 12:43 am PST (08:43 UTC) on March 22, 2006; there are conflicting reports about the exact time." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Queen_of_the_North#:~:text=On%20March%2022%2C%202006%2C%20with,found%2C%20died%20in%20the%20incident.
The ship was headed for shore too long. Only a matter of time the vessel would strike. Clearly the crew at the helm were not paying attention. If they had, The Queen of the North would probably still be sailing and those who perished would be alive today.
the ship still lies 400 meters down at the bottum of wright sound, i wonder what state that she is in after 15 years.
too bad the 'crew' couldnt beach the ship after the strike - but they were um, 'busy' getting naked on the bridge apparently
Was it a sail boat?
Is this the one that the crew was frigging in the rigging, AKA screwing and partying?
So infuriating that they were let off with a slap on the wrist, people died!!!
Looks like monitoring cameras would be a good thing to have on the bridge - as well as voice recordings.
they didn't have a black box in the ferry, all they had was the ECS system which recorded data of where the ferry was, they recovered it from the wreck.
now they require three people on the bridge instead of must two, they also require a black box. i think the two people on the bridge that night were having sex when they collided with the island.
@@animalloverjulian8243 ur a clown
as the biggist fan this made me so sad
The navigator went to jail for a few years. After that BC Ferries had two Navigators on duty on the Northern routes. There also should have been alarms if the ship missed it's turn.
I wasent on this bc ferries but I have been on other ones and this is crazy
So happy this never happened to the Coastal Renaissance. That’s my favourite ferry in the BC Ferries fleet!
Almost Crashed at Duke Point the other night.
Don't jinx it, else we might come back here to correct you.
Am family with the 2 passengers that were never found. Were never super close with them or anything, but was an interesting time.
How did it run ‘way off course close into the land? Australia.
I spent some time as a small tugboat operator in this area of B C. There was some hanky panky going on with the two crew members who were supposed to be on watch. They failed to make a course correction at Saint Point. And plowed into Gil Island about 15 minutes later. I woke up at home to the news of this tragedy and knew immediately that someone was "asleep at the wheel ". It was a dark rainy night, but they definitely weren't watching the radar.
there were only two people on the bridge that night, the two people on the bridge ( quartermaster & fourth officer) had an affair weeks earlier. i think that the couple was arguing or having sex.
@@nobodythatyouknow241 haha - "plowed" was certainly going on
Well, it didn't exactly drift. It was hard aground on Gil Island.
If it had been drifting, it would have sunk much sooner as the hull was ripped open along much of its length. As it was, it hung up on the rock for an hour before sliding off into deeper water. If not for that, the fatalities might have been much higher.
Evil sons of bitches. Islands do not get in the way of large boats.
Seemingly not. The ECS track and animation show her continuing to drift after striking the island.
Im a big fan of queen of the north I used to ride BC ferries
In addition to the Bridge Crew's reckless negligence, neither the Captain nor Crew checked to ensure that all passengers had been safely awoken and had gathered at their muster stations, resulting in one couple remaining in their cabin and being killed when the ship sank!
Their final moments would have been utterly horrific, all because of the criminal conduct of those entrusted with their safety and well-being betraying them after first having caused the damage that destroyed the ship by running it into an island!
the captain ran through the ship when the thing was half submurged, the captain was absolutley sure that everyone was off the boat, the captain risked his life. even after everyone was presumably evacuated, the captain decided to run through the ship that was listing at 45 degrees.
@@animalloverjulian8243 The Captain was responsible for the well-being and safety of the passengers and he and the equally worthless Bridge Crew failed to alert the couple and further failed to check that they had actually been evacuated to the lifeboats.
The circumstances of their horrific deaths established beyond doubt that neither the Captain nor the Crew carried out their duties to ensure the safety of the vessel and its passengers, as verified by the total loss of the vessel and the hideous deaths of these two betrayed passengers!
@@felixcat9318 like i said, the captain checked the ship and was sure than nobody had been left behind, we don't know what happened to the couple, they could've gone overboard when the collison happened. i'm sorry, but the recklessness of the crew on the bridge that night that occured when the captain was on break is not his problem, the 2 people on the bridge that night were given duties and failed to serve them.
can we pay our respects to it?
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
Truckers who cause fatalities are punished more severely than these 2
some dude just got sentenced to 110 years!!! Wasn't even his fault, his brakes failed. His sentence did get reduced to like 10 years, and even kim kardashian made a statement on this case. What a bizarre country they got down there.
Surely they would have been better running the ship aground
How does one hit rocks with all the high tech gear to know exact position and you just keep it in deep water , what a bad captain on that b c ferry
for crying out loud,wasn`t anyone even looking out the window to see just where the heck they were heading ?
it was pitch black night, and raining
This company reminds me of White Star Line, hey wait......*The Modern White Star Line!* Now I get it.
yikes
The officers on watch should revoke their license and apologize to the family of the victim.

This is all? Not one more call out? What a load.
BC Ferries has no business employing any crewman who wont be yelling that they are approaching a large island! Where was this?
wright sound BC, 125 kilometers south of prince rupert
They were having sex on the bridge
the only 2 crew on the bridge were distracted, becuase they had an affair weeks earlier. the crew might have been having sex or arguing, they missed the course altercation and the ship plowed ahead for 15 minutes on the wrong course until it hit gil island.
@@animalloverjulian8243 lol was it ur mom bro?? U sound upset creep.
The ship had recently returned from scheduled upgrades, including changes to its autopilot system.
And a steering officer who did not reverse engines before abandoning the wheel deck.
what does this have to do with the fact that the ship had a recent fitting of a fully automated steerage system ,capable of being commandeered by satellite ?
@@desdicado999 what does the steering system have to do with it? The OOW and wheels person were having sex.
@@CanadianTexaninLiguria congratulation you drank the mainstream narrative Kool-aid,you need to dig a little deeper and look beyond the obvious.
@Felix Bloxham bruh stfu u dont know shit about marine navigation, coll regs or watch duties. There is no way the vessel should’ve been in that situation unless the crew in the bridge were fucking 😂 The captain served 4 years for 2 counts of criminal negligence causing death and shouldve got more
It's an animation, for gosh sakes. You think they could have actually filmed the whole event?!
Georooney REALLY THIS IS AN ANIMATION? I DIDNT FUCKING NOTICE
I mean...i know some people that would like recorded footage of what was going on in the bridge...
It was possible to do but why would people suspect two people to be fucking on the bridge and manage to sink the fucking ship?
I was absolutely disgusted by the navigation officers defense blaming BC Ferries for not Training the crew on the new equipment he turned off to engage in sex in the dark. Working for BC Ferries is a great opportunity for all employees with good pay and job security. This asshole didn't have the spine to accept responsibility. Others needed to be fired as well. The First officer for leaving those two alone on the bridge. The captain for mistake in judgment of character of the first officer being entrusted with the bridge and David Hann head of BC Ferries at the time for trusting the captain. What a feather in your cap, losing a ferry and two lives. It was known as the party boat because it was an overnight trip.
your mom was also known as a party boat because she infact was an overnight trip!
The happened the day before my 3rd birthday.
This happened during my 46th year of life
i was 2 months and 6 days old when this happened, im 14 now
The safety of hundreds of people are in the hands of a captain, who in the eyes of his union, can do no wrong.
True but the steering officer on duty pled he was talking with an ex gf who was another crewman on board. They abandoned the wheel house without even stopping or reversing the engines. Personally, considering the nature of this overnight cruise, BC and the passengers deserved far better treatment and comfort than what this came out to be.
The Master was not a Union member. He had Exempt Status and was considered part of the BC Ferries Management Team.
Martin Theiss At no time was the bridge abandoned. The helmswoman left the bridge after grounding to wake the Captain, who was off duty and asleep in his Quarters. The 4/O was in command and not at the helm. The Officer of the Bridge does not steer the vessel- he/she gives instructions to the helmsperson.
Martin Theiss By the time it was noticed at they were in imminent danger, it was far too late to avoid the grounding. Visibility was poor and extremely limited due to a squall and they were relying on radar, which in itself was not only cluttered with inclimate weather, was set to track a much smaller vessel that was ahead of the QON. That is not to say thee bridge crew was not at fault- they were. But not for the reasons you have specified.
@@RamboJohnJ The bridge officer and helms woman were having sex
guy was raiing his girlfriend on the bridge and wasnt paying attention lol idiot happened right outside hartley bay
That boat had so much lead and asbestos on it, it would have cost a lot to remove all that in order to scrap it for steel
SHIP!
it's virtually impossible to remove the wreck, the ship is under 430 meters of water and it has been that way for 15 years now and even though the ship is upright and intact, no wreck has ever been removed from half a kilometre below the surface.
Looks like the same mistake the Costa Concordia made!!
captain decided to take costa out of course to show the passengers the island and ran aground, this incident was people not doing their jobs
yeah except the queen of the north sank to a depth of 400 m
FAKE
Actually this is real Google Queen of The North sinking.
Chris Hoffman Nope. You can't have a recording of the real sinking because it was never planed to happen. Use your brain before commenting fake
Matthew I think this puts a very bad picture on BC Ferries. The People of British Columbia need better stewards of their Provence. And if this route was intended to be an overnight tour of the north islands and northern Vancouver Island, I personally believe that there should be far better crewmen on board then implicated in this violent mess.
You're joking right?
Chris Hoffman this is not fake. I live here and can tell you that for sure. Ignorant twat
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
