"Causing black smoke to rise from it's stern" is called full throttle diesel engine trying to get out of the way of a idiot trying to sink them.

The bulk carrier that broke up in a storm on the Black Sea was designed for use on rivers not the open sea !

That’s not from the boat ramming it, that’s the exhaust from the diesel engines at full power 1:24

Black smoke happen when you give full throttle on diesel engines. the Turbochargers need time to increase speed to give enough air to the engines.

5:37 “probably completely unaware of the massive waves headed in their direction.” Give that crew their due. They knew full well what was happening and what their captain was attempting. Japan is probably the most Tsunami educated country on the planet. The boats were trying to make it out into open water past the point where the waves brake so that they might ride over it similarly to some of the other ships in the video.

I love the image of two huge cargo ships plowing into eachother then stopping in the middle of the ocean so the captains can exchange insurance information.

The Chinese use their "fishing boats" as the first leg of their South China Sea domination plan. The other boat, is actually a Philippines Coast Guard ship in Philippine territorial waters defending against illegal Chinese fishing. Get it right.

1:45 thats the NB 505 Norilks Nickel, an ice going container ship, not a classic ice breaker. In this clip we see her go bow first (forward) because there is very little ice. She can go stern first (backwards) if she actually needs to crush ice up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) thick.

it is really crazy to see Ships wenting in to the docks. the pure power and strength that it takes to drive trough like that is insane.

5:27 notice the fishing boats heading for the wave intentionally? I'd say they are very much aware and trying to save there boats.

Those fishing boats are every aware of the tsunamis, they’re just trying to get to the ocean quicker as then they avoid the waves.

Fun fact when people download KZfaq videos to use in their channel repeatedly the video quality gets horrible & un viewable it’s true

Even today, with all of modern technology, the ocean is a dangerous place. Mother Nature doesn't mess around when she's angry.

With all the technology and size of the ocean it still amazes me the crash into each other.🙏

I was like "Cool a ship collision video"! Then dude had to talk.. Instant leave.

2:39 Industrial tech grad/ Draftsman/ designer here bridges are designed to support vertical dynamic forces. so a lateral force such as the one exerted by this vessel would have an easy time pushing the bridge over as they are not designed to support lateral forces. tldr: bridges are weak to lateral forces

Fascinating while tragic. Thanks for the posting

1:09 Do you guys know the story behind and after the “collisions”? First, the Chinese government harshly criticised the JCG and Japanese government saying that the JCG ship rammed an innocent Chinese fishing boat and detained its captain. The truth was that the CCP connected fishing boat repeatedly rammed the JCG ship in the Japanese territorial waters and then the captain got arrested for his unlawful acts. Japan was under a liberal leftists’ new government at the time, and they got yield to the arrogant demands from PRC and freed the captain without charges. The captain, honorary escorted by Chinese officials and media, made a victorious return, of course… by that point, no one knew what really happened and how since the Japanese government decided to end the incident with no further open investigation nor disclose those security videos. That collision footage showed in the video was a brave exposure by one JCG middle-ranked crew onboard the rammed ship. He couldn’t stop himself to try to exonerate JCG and Japan but that resulted him to lose his job in the end. However, thanks to him, Japanese public knew what the communist China and their own government were and eventually led Mr Abe to come back to lead the country, later.

Fun fact. There are far more airplanes in the ocean than boats in the sky.

The insurance company: You did WHAT???

This is why I always leave early to avoid getting stressed on the road.

If you narrate, then please halfway properly: Chinese boat in storm: The mistake was: Taking the waves with the broadside, not the bow. If it had been the bow slightly crooked (not full front) the boat would've been finde. Probably the boat was still in a canal. Same for the Tsunami boats: They all went bow ahead, slightly crooked: They were perfectly fine. "Boats who did nothing": There is nothing they COULD to once they saw each other. Those collisions are unavoidable once a certain threshold is found. All you CAN do is to get as slow as possible. The sea is no streed and a boat has no brakes. Which is common knowledge isn't thought through: The only way a boat can stop is to reverse the engines. If they're on full speed on the ocean, it takes up to 5 miles until a boat can stop (that's the number I have memorized). Even if the ocean is flat: You most likely won't spot another cargo ship until you're under the threshold for a safe stop. And no, changing the way to go won't help either - ship's too fast to make a difference. To minimize the damage, get head on, least amount of speed possible and be ready to take in the crew and fill out the insurance paperwork.

Unfortunately, when you cobble together a ton of other people's videos, and neither the script writer nor the voiceover actor has a clue about the subject matter, then those of your audience who DO know will spot the many, many mistakes in your commentary. Aside from the annoying hyperbole common in US documentaries, this is riddled with assumptions that are just plain wrong.

6:17. It’s a hydrofoil boat. They’re made to be able to rise out of the water.

RIP to all those Sailors that were taken by the Sea

The sailboat surfing was pretty cool

First one seemed intentional tbh... and hearing who hit them, it is not far fetched.

You may not feel like thats the safest way to do it at 13:00. But it is

The big fat bully on the cruise ship rousting around another passenger should be told a speedo is not a good look for him!

Thankfully we live in a country where nothing short of excellence is accepted.

The guy at the end has NO business wearing a speedo 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Get your facts right,the british were stopping the french from fishing in british chanel islands waters without permits.

Mind-boggling! It's hard to wrap my head around their capabilities.

Boats are like trains once they get going they can't be stopped

Wow what a show thanks for reminding us to always be careful out there

The scariest was the Japanese wave with a crest and no trough in sight…super deadly.

His narration actually detracts from the video.

8:04 happened in the Netherlands. Miscommuniction between both ships. And i know for a fact that some of the recreation boats in this videos should not be allowed to be on one. I work on a ship and the stupidity i sometimes witness of the little boats. Some just have zero awareness of where to be on a river or their surroundings. They sail dead centre of a river and only look one way.

Absolutely Nature is so powerful every machinery failed

These so called captains should not be captains any more.

11:49 Imagine the rescue guy's POV...your life is in the pilot's hands...you're descending towards a ship violently tossing in the water. Suddenly the waves throw the ship towards you, your life flashes before your eyes as you prepare for an impact when the pilot pulls on the stick with all his might and you narrowly miss getting smacked by a giant ship while hanging from a heli. God gave you second chance at life. Insane courage!!

I used to have a romantic idea of what sailing was and thought I wouldve loved being at sea. UntilI went on a fishing charter,we only went a couple miles out ,just far enough to not see any land. Wow did that change my mind, we were on a medium sized boat like a 60 footer and I still felt how easily the sea could swollow us up. The ocean seemed infinitely big and It freaked me out how little power I had being out there. It felt like even if I had a ship the size of a mountain the sea could eat it like a crumb.

It's incredible how a simple mistake can lead to such chaos

13:00 Hit and run is exactly the way to drop anchors of that size or larger.

The yacht skipper with the supertanker suffered a very heavy fine !!

LOVE THE HYDROFOIL!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wait... a 104 TON anchor?!

2:41 Anyone else here after the giant ship collapsed the bridge 🌉 in Baltimore?

Japan's Coast Guard cannot arrest criminals. I feel so pathetic that I cry.

5:35 They are fully aware of the wave, we can see black smoke coming out of their funnels, they're going full throttle toward the wave because it's the safest way to deal with a tsunami so close to the shore.

10:55 same thing happened to my dad. When the truck landed it broke his back

11:09 my face after eating a lemon😂😂😂

9:17 it seems to be the "Abeille Flandre", an ocean tug based in Brittany, France. It's mission was to assist maritime traffic of the coast of Brittany. They were very famous.

I've taken green water over the bridge, 80-100 ft above the water line, avoided water spouts, and had various other fun things driving Navy ships...

I've seen that first one before. Luckily those ships are built so that even the front falling off like that shouldn't sink it. They will, however, lose most of the oil.

Voice of a class b sportscaster

Did it for forty five years, started in the Navy

3:45 Saw similar to that more than a few times, especially during Unreps while serving on USS Ranger (CV-61).

16:11 the "big-bellied thug" alone is worth the time to watch the video

my day my day

The clip at 4:37. The ship looked like it had some kind of malfunction. The main reason I suspect this is that EVERY captain knows that even your taking big hard waves like this on a ship the best thing to do is point the Bow or front of the ship directly into it. They are designed to take waves on the bow not the sides. That's how they capsize. Either the ship has steering problems or engine problems.

1:45 isnt an icebreaker, It's an ice strengthened ship designed to sail through pre-broken ice. An actual icebreaker will be ahead of this cargo ship to break the ice

That first ship was made out of LEGO 😂

The silly woman at the end had me chuckling. Oh no, you blowed into your whistle. What are you gonna do? Give him a yellow card? xD

Dude, Read colreg, rule 15.

سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم

That looks more like a maritime tragedy starting at around 02:20 ...he says 90 crew members were saved but only saw a couple on deck or swimming at best. Hopefully they had another rescue boat cuz there's no way 90 men are in that one boat. 🙏.

The narrator forgot the final reason for shipwrecks, Mischief.

I believe that sailing vessels have right-of-way making tanker at fault.

"I'm under sail. I have the right of way!"

14:11 😂😂😂 Lmfao they look hilarious. They got SCARED 😂😂

Another point. I wholeheartedly disagree with his statement of the little fishing boats not knowing they were going into a Tsunami. They knew. They were trying to get out to sea that's the safest place for them. Just like the previous clips showed the ships just rolling over the waves with no issues. That is what they were doing. Japans early warning tsunami system is designed to send messages over the emergency systems to all ships and vessels so that the captains have a chance to get out to see.

Looks like they should design them like that, with joints that hug the waves

What an awesome video! It's incredibly funny and kept me entertained the whole time. Thank you!

11:09 Yes this is big ship

I don't know anything about ships, so please correct me (politely!) if I'm wrong, but why make freighters so long they can't support their own weight when being held up at each end? Surely it's inevitable that they're going to encounter two waves at either end of the ship?

the black smoke is from the engine getting full power, its normal for diesel engines which are almost exclusively used on large ships.

Timestamp: 10' 13" From whence do their/its Gallousness Spring? [Rhetorical.] Sail safe ... POSH = Port Out. Starboard Home.

the last guy was in cartoons i think 😄

This just proves that “oh shit” in different languages can be understood by anyone.

What does the cell phone being dropped in the water have to do with a shipwreck?

How was that first anchor drop a fail? It dropped. Wasn’t that the goal?

Amazing

The whole ocean and yet ships still slam into each other! I just don't get it😅

A couple of minutes means 2 minutes. Im quite sure that ship took more than 2 minutes to sink.

im sorry narrator but the video @ 5:20 when you said that the boats didn't know there was huge waves was kinda funny to hear cause both boats in the video went out like no thanks i dont my boat to get merked and ruined.

The destroyer captain requested permission to surface.

Prepare for ramming speed

2:20 why the flooded compartments were not isolated from the rest of the ship?!

The ocean freaking big and ships still accident

Well, at least we still have the Downeaster Alexa.

The 1st one is an articulated sea serpant revenge training video.

@02:32 that was so titanic

3:15 are they throwing up?

I am retired after 23 years in the USAF. Personally? I would much prefer to die on a plane than in a boat. Water scares me. The skies don't.

This is also why I didn't follow the Michele Foss, the Kitty Hawk, and the Magic into the Brownsville shipyards. Can you imagine the damage done to my kayak from crashing into a *carrier*!?

"Shipwrecks occur..." *shows footage of train car imploding*

as uaual camera man is always safe

Proper sketchy times, you know.....wow.....

8:16 by law the vessel which has the other on her starboard side (the give-way vessel) must keep out of the way.
