I'm both fascinated and horrified by just how fast ships that large can sink.

In WWII submarine movies, men on the attacking sub can hear the steel of sinking ship groaning an snapping. This video made me realize those sound effects were pretty accurate.

incredible how quick it happens. and the speed it is diving down with! frightening.

Love how the radar unit was left on,spinning till the end.

What a waste of Iron Ore. Imagine all thay energy spent getting it out of the ground with the hope of of turning it into quality steel

"Hold on tight, Rose! When I tell you, take a deep breath!"

The sounds it makes while going down i allways asked myself from watching "das Boot" if you really heard these metal creaking sounds under water. But you can even hear it above water so it must be really loud on a hydrophone. 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.

Respect with the horn at the end

this might sound weird but it was oddly emotional watching it go down. I felt like watching a loved one leave even though I have never heard of this ship before

Seeing the aftermath of the ship sinking makes you realize how terrifying it must’ve been to hang onto the Titanic til the end

Cool how the funnel ripped loose and popped up to the surface

" I swear my boat was parked right here!"

Ngl its sad to see all that iron ore go down, that's alot of useful material gone to waste

Imagine being some kind of fish deep in that water and this thing coming down at full speed

Radar still turning, lights on, generators still running. Didn't pump the fuel off?

Thats so cool that a float switch was added to the horn for the scuttle to say goodbye. Humans can be pretty cool sometimes :)

Why does that give me horrible anxiety? I’m physically recoiling at it.

crazy to think something that huge is down in the dark abyss now. Unsettling

“The fish love it, it’s good for their tummy” -King Mudbeard

Keeping the oceans clean I see 👍👍👍 putrid is doing the same to his navy

I guess the sinking ship sound effects in movies were pretty accurate.

Respect given to a fine ship😢

The way the back goes in at the end is out of a movie.

Would Love the video of underwater view of sinking into big blue.

To give context, this ship (when fully loaded) is 3x the size of a Nimitz Carrier and 6x the size of the Titanic.

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.

You can see the fwd part of the ship start to sink very quick with that tonnage of water coming in

This looks like our Cunard Liner LUSITANIA since May 7th 1915 on the southern coast of Ireland🇮🇪on the Celtic Sea!

Amazing power unleashed by water to shear that smoke stack right off... Imagine if you waited until the end on the stern to jump off - you might not make it with all that debris and churning water.

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.

Okay that was cool and fast.

With a load of iron ore 350,000 tons more than the Stellar Banner weighed empty

Sad to see a ship go down

recently got into marine transport this is heartbreaking

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.

Has anyone ever recorded a ship sinking from an underwater view? Maybe 100 feet down?

Wow that is amazing how quick that sunk.

This company also lost the Stellar Daisy a few years back.

Madness, how quick it's done.

Did the captain stayed in the bridge like Titanic? lol

I assume they never salvaged any electrical components since i can see the radar spinning?

Scary how deep the ocean is and how terrifying it would be if you were on a ship that is sinking.

Going down with the lights on. That's like dying with your eyes open.

Nice submarine! Damn must be scary on a sinking ship.

There more history on the bottom of the ocean, than all the museums in the world...

Terrifying how fast it suddenly went down

It might be helpful to consult the wiki entry for this exact ships fate. Fortunately, there was no loss in crew! And the loss in ore (freight) and steel of the ship itself total value did not even cover the eventual cost of a professional salvage. In the clip, there are two salvage tugs to see, and usually, they dont move to lost ships, only for the thrill, of seeing them going to the ground…

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. Part of the iron ore, navigation equipment and basic machinery remained on the vessel, which are deemed to pose no risk to marine life,”

MV Derbyshire went down with explosive speed, like this, in a typhoon in 1980.

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.

Another amazing captain.

No wooden doors to not share on this one Rose😂😂

The seas is always right

It would have been cool to have some underwater video as it went down

Imagine all the supplies on that ship

C'est incroyable de voir un navire de cette taille (60 mètres de plus que le Titanic) sombrer à cette vitesse!

scuttled!? The ship was still on power?! I think he is sinking not scuttled?

How could it sink if it ran aground? Or was it moved away and then sunk? Why would that make sense?

I would love to have seen an underwater camera of this.

Would be crazy if Slash suddenly comes out from the water like from 'estranged' and plays a solo 🎸

Ah shit, I think I left my vape on board

I saw a vlcc sink in around 1977, the ship was Sun Seahorse, scuttled on 18deg west, turrned out to be a big fraud, ship was originally called Salem, I was a junior engineer on British Trident, we picked up the crew and took them into Dakar.

Did they unload it first?

At the bottom of the ocean the depths of the abyss they are bound by iron and blood

Imagine if it was the Titanic 😢

I find it terribly poignant to see the ship sink with the sound of the fog horn and the other ship's response to say goodbye! 😢

Well that was quicker than I thought.

damn once the sea got a hold on her, it never let go

I wonder if they removed the iron ore before the ship got scuttled?

Can just imagine how terrified all those passengers onboard the Titanic must have been now.

Stop using the sea as a dumping ground

Iron is in short supply in the ocean and where ships are sunk in shallow areas it can lead to a flourish of sea life.

1:31 Good thing you included that note, otherwise the comment section would be overflowing with Einsteins worrying about the poor guy who was still aboard.

How could it sink if it ran aground ?

Remains me , Estonia 1994....

It’s sad for the ship it’s worked so long for us only to get betrayed by us running it aground and making it sink.

Last part looked like Davy jone’s ship

Bloody hell! Good job the tug boat wasn't attached.

Expensive loss. It’s a shame she couldn’t have been scrapped 😢 Insurance will help recover the loss.

well idk how fast titanic sunk in its last stages but this here was surprisingly fast.

The sea gods wanted her badly look at the speed it went down :O

RIP to all those who perished in the sinking!😢😢😢😢

so that's basically the nice weather/daylight slowmo version of the Derbyshire :-(

El hundimiento se produce por la entrada de agua el peso del barco y la fuerza gravitacional de la tierra en el suelo oceanico

Sunk so fast at the end because the cargo holds are full of both water and all that iron

No wonder the sea level is going up!😂

just genuinely curious here, but what is the brown stuff coming out when the ship sinks. is it dirt and or rust?

1:18 The Stellar Banner returns to a final even keel.

They should film below water

So instead of recycling the materials from the ship to build something else with it, someone decided to just sink it.

but as fascinating it may be to behold, the degree of pollution this event must have caused is horrible.

wish we could see it how it looks from underwater.

Why was the ship even damaged? It was basically new (for a ship)

How would it run aground and then sink ?

I hope they salvaged all that iron ore.

Forgive me for being stupid but if it ran aground how can it sink ?

Why wasn't it recycled?

Now i believe that my family said the titanic actually sank quickly when it cuts in half because they we're told by my great great grandmother when she saw very little when the titanic split in half and was sinking faster

Did they at least try to remove most things and fuel/ oil first? Seems like it should be illegal to do that.
