Also the way it just speeds down into the ocean at around 1:25 is crazy imagine you are still on the ship and you think "yeah at this rate we got another 2 minutes before it sinks" but then suddenly it speeds up and almost looks like the ship just entered a hyperspace portal and disappears in seconds.
Whenever I play "Aces of the Deep" I love to get the notification: "I hear the death rattle of a sinking ship!" For 1990's PC game, the metal creaking sound effect is really good - just as you said, you can hear it while your U-Boat is underwater near a cargo ship wreck.
@@neptunenavalmods4420 I played Tom Clancy's SSN with my dad in the 90s when I was a youngster. That game also had those sounds when hitting the ground or when being extremely deep under water. There is gameplay footage of it on TH-cam. Worth looking up.
Hearing that horn afterwards puts into perspective that the sounds just before it was the entire structure of the ship shifting with the weight of all that water. A terrifying amount of force is acting on this ship throughout the scuttling process.
And the funnel is broken by the sinking, in a similar way to the ones in Titanic. In fact in this one it seems the main force breaking the funnel is the speed at which is rushed into the water but the effect is the same.
Hello there i am engine cadet and hopefully a furure merchant marine mechanic.As far as i know the bulck carriers(the type of ship that transfers like iron,coal,dirt,sand...) are very dangerous ships.They go down like the other ones until one of their cargo holds starts filling with water(yes they are kind of waterproof the hatch covers but not fully) and as they fill with water the sinking event is sped up.Each one that fills with water it increases the speed of sinking, its like the snowball efect on the stock market strats from almost unnoticeable and eventually it takes a matter of seconds as shown to the video.
Yep you are absolutely right. I’m doing mechanical engineering so we’re in similar fields. This is precisely what happened with the Titanic and how most ships with hull compartments go down. Compartments flood into each other one by one until the weight of the water is too much and eventually drags the rest of the hull down with it. Pretty cool but terrifying to see physics in action like this
Another good example of this phenomenon was MV Derbyshire, a British bulk carrier able to carry both ore and oil built in the mid-1970's. She encountered Typhoon Orchid on the coast of Japan on September 9, 1980 which blew one of the foredeck hatches, letting seawater to flood the bow which sank lower into the large waves spraying overhead. This led to a cascade event in which the lowered bow allowed more seawater to pour above the deck, causing more hatches to burst and fill with seawater. She eventually sank and found at the seafloor in 1994. About 44 people lost their lives in the sinking, accounting for all the crew present on board during that fateful day
A shoutout to the engineers in the engineroom, that still keep working to keep the lights on so other ships can see her sinking! True heroes. but tbh, someone should've told them that all had already left the ship. tragic...

@@danvez5656 Many captains do have a strong tie to their ship especially I’ve they’ve worked with it for years or even decades. It’s not unheard of, Titanic’s captain went down willingly, so did her designer. It’s more common than you’d think.

It is dust being ejected as air whooshes out and water rushes in. The brown stuff is iron ore. The force of air being pushed out carries some particles or iron ore with it.
You can imagine that the Titanic went much the same way once the bouancy advantage was exceeded. You can certainly see why 'lost with all hands' is so often cited. Those in the bowels, without proper warning, would be doomed - which is why Titanic's (& Britannic's) Stokers panicked, rushed & stole lifeboats.
Did the Stellar Banner blow her horn right before she went down? or was it the tug towards her bow? i'm referring to the first, duller horn, not the second one that is clearly from the vessel that was filming her sinking.
The ocean is vast and very deep. By comparison, a boat is like a matchstick floating on the surface of a swimming pool. But the boat is made of metal and is hollow. The matchstick is made of solid lightweight timber and cannot be made to sink. A hollow metal boat designed to carry cargo is very frail and vulnerable in the face of severe weather and the vastness of the seas. If you replaced your matchstick in the pool with a tiny model boat that was hollow and made of thin metal like aluminium foil, it would be very easy to capsize and sink. A tiny wave or a puff of wind would send it to the bottom of the pool. Which in the case of the Atlantic can be 5 miles deep.
The Stellar Banner, a very large ore carrier (VLOC) owned by Polaris Shipping, was scuttled on June 12, 2020 in the South Atlantic Ocean: Cause of grounding The ship's master deviated from the planned route and ran aground on a sandbar, causing extensive flooding. Salvage efforts Salvors removed 3,500 metric tons of fuel oil, 140 metric tons of diesel fuel, and 145,000 metric tons of cargo. Refloating The ship was refloated and re-anchored in deeper water for a damage survey. Scuttling The ship was scuttled with about 145,000 to 150,000 tonnes of iron ore still on board. The ship took 20 minutes to sink, and its funnel detached and resurfaced for about a minute before also sinking. Location The ship was scuttled about 55 to 60 nautical miles northeast of the entrance to the Baía de São Marcos approach channel, in more than 2,700 meters of water. Investigation The investigation concluded that the master's decision to deviate from the planned route was a contributing factor to the casualty. The investigation also found that the company's navigation watchstanding procedures did not provide clear expectations and guidance
According to the company '“Prior to scuttling, floating objects, such as mooring line and pollutants, also a minimal quantity of gas oil which had remained onboard have been removed.

I'd assume it was Iron particles, the air is getting pushed out at tremendous force and if the load is tons of iron, some of that would get damaged and blow out with the air too.
Damn once it started going it was GONE!! Surprised the speed it picked up at the end!!! Wow! Is this practice very common or only ever as a last resort???
Is it ran a ground how can it sink I know that sounds silly but I'm saying if it ran aground then that means it hit the bottom of the ocean which means it was probably a big Sandbar or something so how did it sink so deep after seeing right underneath of it I hope I'm making this understandable
An acquaintance who worked in a shipyard told me about how to tell if a ship can be salvaged from imminent sinking. He told me that it was very important to see which way the ship was sinking, since that would tell if the water was flooding into the passageways and compartments uncontrollably, or if it was meeting "resistance" inside the hull.
why did the ship still have power when it was scuttled?? the horn at the end was not from the sinking ship. the surrounding ships usually give a last salute to a sinking vessel.
This ship was 1,100 feet long! and was the largest ship scuttled to that date... Stellar Banner was scuttled with about 145,000 to 150,000 tonnes (143,000 to 148,000 long tons; 160,000 to 165,000 short tons) of iron ore still aboard on 12 June 2020 in more than 2,700 meters (8,900 ft) of water in the South Atlantic Ocean about 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) off Maranhão, Brazil, at a point 55 to 60 nautical miles (102 to 111 km; 63 to 69 mi) northeast of the entrance to the Baía de São Marcos approach channel.[1][4] She took 20 minutes to sink.[citation needed] Huge fountains of red iron ore sprayed into the air as she sank,[2] and her funnel detached from her superstructure,[
That's just really scary. The video can't give a good impression of how large the ship would feel in real life if I witnessed everything in person. My brain has difficulties to comprehend how fast this large ship sank. It also reminds me of the Titanic breaking in two under the pressure. I would have never guessed that ships today can sink so fast while the Titanic took several hours to go down to the bottom of the ocean.
The bulk carriers have maybe less than a tenth of the compartmentalization of a liner like Titanic did. So the water has no real obstacles until the next bulkhead, yes? Even above the watertight door decks, the rooms and doors and passageways of the liner created temporary barriers to the intrusion of the ocean, and temporary air pockets until the water pressure broke down that secondary structure.
I am just amazed dumping a ship like this in the depths of the ocean is a deemed a good idea. We complain about plastic and then dump 1000s of tonnes of steel where it’s out of sight.
They remove harmful products before. It's actually considered very good for marine life since it acts as sort of corals where marine life can hide from predators and thrive
@@carlospepitos153so they say yeah. Highly doubt they take much care in removing all harmful chemicals. It's more laziness and cost effective than trying to create an ecosystem for vulnerable prey animals.

the 350.000 tons load of iron ore probably had something to do with it 😉

I'd assume it was Iron particles, the air is getting pushed out at tremendous force and if the load is tons of iron, some of that would get damaged and blow out with the air too.
Rusty particles. As stated above. Ships don't take long to get rusty
You.dont want to know buddy.....but let's just say that ship was used as a human sh!t transporter
Poop
Iron ore?
Damn once it started going it was GONE!! Surprised the speed it picked up at the end!!! Wow! Is this practice very common or only ever as a last resort???
I think its a last resort. Those ships are damned expensive nevermind the cargo.
Be a bit of a bugger if any submarines were passing under it.
Was that Stellar Banner's horn being triggered by the float, or an attending vessel?
It was triggered by a float switch
Absolutely horrific......how something so big can be buoyant one minute and plunging to the bottom the next......350,000 tons of ore ...what a waste!!
This looks like our Cunard Liner LUSITANIA since May 7th 1915 on the southern coast of Ireland🇮🇪on the Celtic Sea!
Not really.
Looks nothing like it.
The radar on top of the bridge was still operational it seems.
It did indeed

Is it ran a ground how can it sink I know that sounds silly but I'm saying if it ran aground then that means it hit the bottom of the ocean which means it was probably a big Sandbar or something so how did it sink so deep after seeing right underneath of it I hope I'm making this understandable
You are correct, it went a ground on a sand bank, got re-floated, towed to deep water and scuttled
Another amazing captain.
Not a wise decision taking that shortcut
I detect just a teeeeny bit of sarcasm wipsplash 😂😂
This is way more interesting than it has any right to be.😂 Maybe I'm just high!
You can see the fwd part of the ship start to sink very quick with that tonnage of water coming in
Indeed
An acquaintance who worked in a shipyard told me about how to tell if a ship can be salvaged from imminent sinking. He told me that it was very important to see which way the ship was sinking, since that would tell if the water was flooding into the passageways and compartments uncontrollably, or if it was meeting "resistance" inside the hull.
Sounds sensible
This company also lost the Stellar Daisy a few years back.
That's sad to hear, hope the crew got rescued
why did the ship still have power when it was scuttled?? the horn at the end was not from the sinking ship. the surrounding ships usually give a last salute to a sinking vessel.
One generator was running to burn fuel, it is true that the Bannervs horn was rigged with a float switch
how did it sound after it was underwater?? i dont believe that.
It wasn't under water.
You haven't solved any mystery or foiled a conspiracy. Go get a hobby.
Something really sad about watching a ship slide down beneath the Ocean....
It really is
It would have been cool to have some underwater video as it went down
At the bottom of the ocean the depths of the abyss they are bound by iron and blood
Indeed
The flagship of the navy, the terror of the seas
His guns have gone silent at last!
C'est incroyable de voir un navire de cette taille (60 mètres de plus que le Titanic) sombrer à cette vitesse!
It is indeed
The smokestack detached from the vessel. It floats back up at 1:38.
It eventually went down as well, the void inside the smoke stack was filled with air giving it enough buoyancy for a while
Definitely a sinking feeling. That’s a lot of ore, fuel, oil, and debris being dumped into the ocean!
It is indeed
How does a boat this big run aground and then sink? Surely if it ran a ground it would be... on ground. ???
It was re-floated abd scuttled
With all it's cargo and fuel still on board?! Genius!
Any Casualties??
Jesus the noises of it sinking are terrifying
This ship was 1,100 feet long! and was the largest ship scuttled to that date...
Stellar Banner was scuttled with about 145,000 to 150,000 tonnes (143,000 to 148,000 long tons; 160,000 to 165,000 short tons) of iron ore still aboard on 12 June 2020 in more than 2,700 meters (8,900 ft) of water in the South Atlantic Ocean about 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) off Maranhão, Brazil, at a point 55 to 60 nautical miles (102 to 111 km; 63 to 69 mi) northeast of the entrance to the Baía de São Marcos approach channel.[1][4] She took 20 minutes to sink.[citation needed] Huge fountains of red iron ore sprayed into the air as she sank,[2] and her funnel detached from her superstructure,[
Thats how a submarine gets born
this comment is underrated
That's just really scary. The video can't give a good impression of how large the ship would feel in real life if I witnessed everything in person. My brain has difficulties to comprehend how fast this large ship sank. It also reminds me of the Titanic breaking in two under the pressure. I would have never guessed that ships today can sink so fast while the Titanic took several hours to go down to the bottom of the ocean.
The bulk carriers have maybe less than a tenth of the compartmentalization of a liner like Titanic did. So the water has no real obstacles until the next bulkhead, yes? Even above the watertight door decks, the rooms and doors and passageways of the liner created temporary barriers to the intrusion of the ocean, and temporary air pockets until the water pressure broke down that secondary structure.
From min 1:10 look at the green floor. Is that a person? it's moving.
It’s some sort of fabric that was tied to the hanging rail
I wonder if they removed the iron ore before the ship got scuttled?
They removed a lot of the iron ore before refloating and scuttling her
but as fascinating it may be to behold, the degree of pollution this event must have caused is horrible.
It is not good at all
Bacteria will eat the ship and the ship will be colonized by the local undersea wild.
@@manveerparmar6570yes the whole point is to make an artificial reef
@@manveerparmar6570 eventually, yes. completely unrelated fact, though. the pollution will have been immense nonetheless.
@@schneevongestern9898na just a small drop in the ocean.
How many meters it laid now?
It's sitting at 2700m depth
I am just amazed dumping a ship like this in the depths of the ocean is a deemed a good idea. We complain about plastic and then dump 1000s of tonnes of steel where it’s out of sight.
They remove harmful products before. It's actually considered very good for marine life since it acts as sort of corals where marine life can hide from predators and thrive
@@carlospepitos153so they say yeah. Highly doubt they take much care in removing all harmful chemicals. It's more laziness and cost effective than trying to create an ecosystem for vulnerable prey animals.
You, and a bunch of other hysterical soybots complain. The rest of us get on with our days.
With a load of iron ore 350,000 tons more than the Stellar Banner weighed empty
It's like filling a bathtub with iron ore
Why was the ship even damaged? It was basically new (for a ship)
It certainly was new. They ran a ground, lowered the anchor at speed, tearing up the ships side damaging several ballast tanks.
Stop using the sea as a dumping ground
Agree with you
Should they carry the ship on land?
My schoolfriends brother, who lifed across the road from me, was lost on the mv Derbyshire in a typhoon in the south China Sea. She went down like this.
The Derbyshire sinking was really fast too. It caught everyone out.
That's sad to hear
It's really scary seeing big ships going down this quickly
