Abandoning ship without capitan's permission.....that reminded me of Costa Concordia where the capitan was the first one to flee. Lmao

@@karmazon8955 - Ah, but he "went for help"! lol

19 years not enough for 80 deaths. There were 61 crew on board, not one to seen while ferry is sinking?

@@kmuhammadshah7839 failure is like onions! With closed watertight compartments she would have been afloat, so you cant blame it on the first officer alone. Also, if the crew would have organized abandoning ship better it also would have caused a lot less lifes. Overall, it is the captains fault in my eyes. It is his ship and he allowed it, that complacency would be able to surpass safety. If he would have enforced a better safety culture on the ship non of that would have ever happend.

Ross, thanks for the update on how the ship's crew faired in court due to their dereliction of duty. I was a little surprised to hear the sentences handed down, being that they were quite long.

That is indeed quite wise.

@Junior Hello!

@@Wisteria_Glycinia mayday (the plane version) is on paramount +. It’s called Air disasters on there and the voice over guy is different bc it’s the Smithsonian channel version but it’s literally the same exact show. There is also another show on there called Disasters at Sea if you’re looking for more ship disasters.

@@HeyItsSarah30 How different is it compared to the amazon prime version which I have been paying for ?

Me I watched the mayday ones and now I can’t stop watching this

Me me, am now a notifications gang

Check out Fascinating Horror

It was a pretty generic comment posted early, on a video that will likely only be watched by people who already watch this type of documentary. Pretty easy to get likes on that

Your welcome BTW

It’s frustrating to know the crew were so irresponsible. I hope they got time. The couple that did the gender reveal that caused fires got time so I hope this crew does

That has to be balanced against people not being able to get out if the power fails. Or rescuers not being able to get in.

@@vonnero1250 I think you would have to weigh in favor to sacrifice the few to save the many.

@@skypeters3034 Freely citing Wiki, "First officer Tassos Psychoyios was sentenced to 19 years, while Captain Vassilis Giannakis received a 16-year sentence. Psychoyios had been watching a football match on television when the ship hit the rocks, according to witnesses. Three crew members were sentenced to between 15 months and 8 years 9 months for a series of misdemeanours that included abandoning ship without the captain's permission", and the company CEO jumped from his office window, 6 floors up. Port manageres died during the recovery actions. This is a lot for maritime disasters, I believe.

Really really good suggestion

Imagine being able to calm yourself during a disaster. A good number of people in the world won't be able to do step one. Thats why crew, who are trained to do so, need to be yelling orders and helping evacuation.

@@Alb410I agree with you, it is very easy to underestimate the true power of the survival instinct. I was in a pretty bad car crash a few years earlier and even though I see myself as a rational person that would react confident and smart in situations like that I did not - not at all. Can not blame any of the passengers for behaving the way they did, I would've probably done the same.

This is a prime example of “easier said than done”

@@Judge371 Exactly. Besides, you can calm yourself all you want but if a stampede runs you over and you get knocked out…

Ability to remain calm during any form of disaster is not granted - it´s something you discover about yourself, once the dangerous situation happens. The soldiers or some dangerous job workers from rely on training for those dangerous situations, as it is basically "hardcoded" into them, but most people don´t have any training. When you don´t know, what to do, it´s easy to fall into panic mode. And even with all the training, the ability to remain calm is not granted, so you might freak out and lose it.

Yeah, I’m going to make sure my kids know how to tread water

What lifeguards won't tell you is that if they think someone's going to panic when they're saving them, they will straight up knock them out.much easier to pull them to safety if they don't have to fight them.

@@skypeters3034 teach them to swim

Everyone should learn how to swim, especially if you’re going on a boat. It’s totally irresponsible not to learn how to swim!

@@amberrose1108 of course swimming is only practical to do so to find debris or flotation somehow. Swimming over an hour will kill 75% of those who try without flotation

I took that as a sign that he really cared and tried to help all he could, and that he also put his all into it.

@@msms5435 exactly, there is only so much you can do from the shore but he did everything he could and then some. He was a good man.

Yeah I remember that one. Watched the documentary on what happened, how and why it sank. I can't believe people with all of their experience could make such a fatal error. I guess experience isn't always everything and for them their error was overloading their boat which caused it to capsize and sink with people including children told to remain inside while the captain abandoned ship. Smh

That was so sad 😭 all those people just stayed on the boat to drown like why 😢

They need to make a documentary of that!

And the queen of the north in Vancouver, bc 2006.

It wasn't all that similar. The Sewol sank because they made too sharp of a turn and the ship began to list. They weren't using autopilot and hadn't hit anything. The crew was paying plenty of attention which made the fact that they actually told all of those students to stay in their cabins even worse- they knew how bad it was and still chose not to get them out. It also was almost an hour between the time that it began to list and when the crew finally abandoned ship- still not making any attempt to get all of the people off. The only real similarity is that in both cases, the crew was extremely negligent and basically ignored the passengers.

Ikr so sad man

The rest were cowards i couldn't just sit there

Professional first responders also say don't become another victim. All I say is keep your head cool and don't be too quick in judging others. Many people have drowned trying to rescue others.

@@FreelancerFreak Not at all, I imagine they didn't want to help because they were terrified that the lifeboat would capsize. They were in an impossible situation.

Like that disgusting man who told the lady not to help the older women bc she would "pull them under." The old lady died. 😥

There is no way I would’ve let anyone die if I could avoided it.

there are ... but money xD

There are. But when designing them they're stuck between a balance of money and safety. And following human instinct they choose money.

HRU's or Hydro-static Release Units are the best option in these situations. Able to be manually deployed or automatically deployed after the ship sinks. They look like white barrels in the stowed configuration.

Pivot mounts, and guide rails

Inflatable life rafts as an option?

probably had a billion trips without a hitch previously. which resulted in complacency

the reason why the crew hasnt in the bridge.its for *that specific reason* . at that time (2000) it has been a football match . which Panathinaikos FC faced the german team Hamburg (which Panathinaikos win that match 1-0). the crew didnt care that several Nautical Miles they will entered paros (and the two rock islands . Portes). and kaboom. the ship hit the rock islands and then Samina begans to sink slowly slowly (more like rapidly). they didnt care that the ship starts to sink. *They didnt care to help the passengers onboard to said that we are sinkin and please go to the nearest station to pick up life jackets and pull out the rafts* . the crew have the members written on their b@lls and they left them helpless during the sinking . thats why... better help everyone than left them helpless.

Its because they were greeks.

@@kaisermartindergroe3711 half greeks are good people.the other half... another weird ones. good ones are help each other .the other half no.

@@SteveSideris..2k02 Exactly, I was thinking the other lazy half

Stamina?

@@kingssuck06 probably was a Autocorrect accident

@@crimsonsnow2469 yup

SOCCER!!

You think?

Actually, it wasn't the Samina but a careless crew failing to obey the safety rules and leaving all of those doors open then failing to do their jobs and helping the passengers. That is basically what sank the Brittanic, leaving those doors open for the "convenience" of a lazy crew.

@@richardcline1337 when the brittanic sank, the force of the explosion jammed the doors open.

BlueBell88, I mean if I would know I'm gonna sink on that ship I would at least randomly attack and punch some of the people on board just to fulfill one of my dreams and punching random people into the face, do you know what I mean? Hm?

@@RequiemDream Judging your personality you would sit in a corner without doing anything crying for help and IF you survived later on tell your bodies how cool you were and how many people you helped.

@@dargus1718 so true. You hit the nail on the head

What about the MV Sewol crew

m/s scandinavian star Is just as bad. Some crew member from seaescape started the fire and they kicked blocks away from the fire doors when the fire crew started putting out the blaze.

@@Yukis.aviation the captain got what he deserved

When i order abandon ship it doesnt matter what time i leave, abandon is for everyone

@@skylineXpert And if the Captain was doing a road trip with someone and stopped to stretch his legs or use the bathroom, and that someone wanted to go and abandoned him there, they would say “ When I feel I’m ready to go, it doesn’t matter whether you’re in the vehicle or not, going is for everyone. If you don’t want to go you can stay.

Well, this is very similar to Titanic, undeniable. Also the flaw pointed out with this design wasn't the bow door failing but having a one whole level open and undivided which is very susceptible to flooding and capsizing since the water will always accumulate on one side.

Yeah, and large every explosion is like an "atom bomb" and any damage to an area or building is always "like a war zone".

For a lot of people that's the only sinking they know of off hand.

I literally just thought the same!

Dont worry! All three spin-off Mayday episodes have been uploaded. Next wewk we will back to the main topic!

What part of "mayday" gives you the feeling of "this'll turn out ok"?

I now officially don't want to ever fly or take another cruise!

I had seen so many plane crashes, now I'm watching ship and train crashes to even it out

Yes, indeed, well said. A lesson to us all who have responsibilities.

Interesting. Can you elaborate a bit why the word 'Express' is not OK after the main name? I have not been in any of the ferries in Greece, but I know they are very popular, and Greek islands used to be a popular destination for holiday. Hopefully that can soon resume... Ya sas from Finland

Went to Naxos last summer, I can confirm Hellenic Seaways is very good.

Helpful advice. Just returned from Greece and a ferry trip to Spetses. There are SO many ferries to choose from. How do you know which are the safest?

@@barbarab7049 Spetses is quite close to our central port compared to other islands so I'm guessing the ferries to that island is pretty safe. For longer voyages, choose vessels of the companies: "Hellenic Seaways", "Blue Star Ferries" and if you're headed for Crete: "Minoan Lines" and "ANEK Lines" :)

Wonder didn’t own all documents but another company deleted it, company Wonder they decided to copy everything movie

@@diegojovi8609 What exactly are you trying to say? Wonder didn’t “copy” anything. They actually had nothing to do with the production of Mayday. Instead, they pay a licensing fee to Cineflix (the production company that created Mayday) to upload episodes onto their channel. The same can be said for the KZfaq channel “On The Move”, which also hosts full episodes of Mayday.

@@Thurston86 Therefore, this youtube channel sponsored app, it is contains of thousands movie

Ship documentaries or Mayday specifically?

Got that "Milky Cereal", just like LL Cool J .

🤣

And sell the footage to TMZ and World Star smh.

Passengers first is how it's supposed to go. Almost every pilot will wait until the plane/boat is assumed empty, then walk through to ensure it IS empty. Last they get off. Since everyone refers to Titanic when they see a ship sink, remember the Captain refused to get off because there were still people on the ship. The Concordia Captain abandoned the ship while people were still on board, he was arrested.

The Rena sank after this ship

Respect to you and and the people that rallied to save the people, thank you for recognizing them'

I mean professional and leisure craft operators not random passengers

They are re releases................ not wonder. don't give them credit for maydays documentary mastery....

@@Rusty_Nickle No dipwad, but if I am a pilot, captain, or crew I accept the risks in order to SAVE the INNCOENT lives of passengers, or bystanders! Clown. Sounds like you would kill others to save yourself though.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MY VESSEL BROKEN!

Maybe the power going out might of prevented them from automatically closing?

@@Jared-Cooper The Oympic class had them mechanically close if water filled in, it was some form of plate that if water filled it would trigger the door without power.

Customers didn't like having to step over the hatch coaming.

because they should have been closed all along. Also, the loss of power also induced, that those doors could have only been closed manually.

@@Jared-Cooper Might have.

The Estonia was a very horrific disaster: a very inexperienced and negligent Captain, there was no watertight door behind the visor in case it fell off, and the ship rolled over so much and so quickly that over 700 out of the 989 people were still inside the ship as it went down. 😭😭

Yeah... the Estonia was sabotaged and is being covered up by multiple governments... totally different case.

Ι WATCHED YESTERDAY A DOC ABOUT THE ESTONIAN SHIP

Sadly, then u need to watch a lot more documentaries/read about other disasters. Just in shipping there are many much worse examples of disasters due to negligence.

(Hellenic Seaways is the new one). for the others its fine . but for the others who they lose their life on this event its way more sad. its too sad to lose a friend or a family member who u care alot to an accident like these (airplane,ship,train or car accident).and that give a huge amount of PTSD that the brain cant let them go eassily.
