I thought schittino was bad but this prick had the nerve, the gall and the audacity to just abandon all his passengers without even a word of warning, he was lucky no one died no thanks to him. And a massive amount of respect to the entertainment crew for managing to successfully evacuate the entire ship with zero casualties.

This Captain makes Schettino look like a Saint

There's a difference between being in shock and having to take a moment to collect yourself (understandable in such a situation) and just ignoring everybody throughout the sinking and then trying to abandon the ship, leaving behind hundreds of people to fend for themselves.

The fact that you call out scoundrels who have no business captaining ships is one of the things I like about you. It shows that you have saltwater in your veins, Sam. The sea is beautiful and full of mystery, but it is powerful beyond our comprehension and utterly unforgiving. My dad was a captain, mostly of small sailing vessels, and I grew up on the water and learned to love and deeply respect the sea. To put it succinctly, it is no place to f*ck around, and I will always applaud the way you tell it like it is with these sea clowns. Thanks for all your great work.

Sam you had a right to rage at this selfish man who doesn’t care about his passengers

If Sam ever covers the sinking of the Korean ferry MV Sewol, the rage meter will fill up and explode before he can get 1/4 through the story.

the rage meter was making me laugh so hard 😭 never change sam

He wasn't just a terrible Captain, he was a terrible human being.

Moss Hill is an absolute legend! edit: I haven't even watched the video, but the fact that Moss Hill was a big damn hero twice as an entertainer is amazing.

Honestly, this has to be one of the most horrific sinkings I've heard! The Captain is such a jerk and should have been punished! 😡 But well done to all the entertainment staff; so brave and heroic! 👏👏👏 Great video as always Sam; cannot wait for the next one 🙂

Sam, I'm surprised Moss Hill wasn't mentioned by name here. He was a hero in TWO SHIP SINKINGS.....

The Oceanos is the perfect example of how a captain should not act like on a sinking ship. The behavior of the captain of this ship is down right unacceptable, An absolute disgrace of a captain.

If this is going to turn into a series of "Worst Reactions to a Sinking by The Captain" you should definitely cover the Sewol. Whoo boy

Captain Avranas was actually defended by Epirotiki Line. He continued to command ships after the accident until his retirement. This is a quote from Captain Alevizos Klaudatos, the head of Epirotiki Line: "Of course the crew members assigned to the boats have to enter first in order to assist the embarkation of the passengers", "as regards the captain abandoning the vessel, this is untrue and he has maintained his position throughout in assisting the rescue in the most effective way". Make of that what you will.

Sam, don't be ashamed of your rage against the captain. This guy and his crew were pure, 100% pieces of s--t! They should have given medals to the cruise director and the entertainment staff.

I was just a kid when this happened, but remember the extensive news coverage about it quite well. The lack of professionalism by so many captains is appalling these days. Can you imagine an airline pilot like this guy? Unreal!

You should do a video of the 2014 sinking of the South Korean ferry Sewol! The crew and Captain's actions aboard the Sewol were also very similar to the Oceanos, if not worse. This captain deserves you to unleash the entire fury of your rage towards him!

Really loved it when Sam Raged at 18:59, Great video as always, keep up the good work

It’s okay to rage every once in awhile Sam. Just as long as you try and calm yourself down between them. I nearly raged out at work last week, right in front of my shift leaders, but I immediately calmed myself down, and apologized to them

Joke that went around at the time was that the Greek for "abandon ship" was "Me First!"

Sam: oh no the rage meter is full Sam: *begins raging at the Oceanos captain for being to within himself and not caring about the passengers Also I think this is Sam's most rage video

This and the Costa Concordia are reasons why I’m terrified of ships and deep water

Thank you for doing this video, Sam. The oceanos` story is one I just love. For the inaction of the captain, the crew, and the braveness of the entertainment staff. I still get the shivers of admiration when I hear what they (the entertainment staff) did and how courageous they were!!

The fact that: the guitarist, his wife, the bass player and a magician are the main people who saved the people on this and not the damn crew is insane

Kickstarter to buy Historic Troubles a brown paper bag.

How on earth did that POS and his equally negligent senior officers avoid jail time? Pure negligence! You have every right to rage over this Sam. An absolute disgrace.

Sam, this video was great, I still remember watching the news when it happened. You deserve a miniature Oscar for your performance. 😀

Great and informative video as always! Thank you for covering the sinking of Oceanos. Keep up the great work! Also love the rage meter ; )

Great video Sam. I had heard the phrase "the captain is God" used to describe the traditional airline culture that was a major factor in some crashes (United Flight 173), but I did not know that there were any captains arrogant enough to tell people to call them God. Also, nice rage meter and rage quit. Given the maritime focus of this channel I would have thought the rage meter graphic would be an old-fashioned steam pressure gauge with a red line above the highest pressure reading, but that would probably be difficult to draw/animate.

One of the heroes, Moss Hills, is now a cruise director on Silver Sea Cruises.

Schettino sounds like russian word "skotina" which basically means cattle, and it also used in russian as a curse word and means "rude, vile person" It always pops in my head when I hear the name of the captain of the Costa Concordia

Hey Sam, you should do a video on the Achille Lauro that sank in 1994, Moss Hills was on that ship too and helped the passengers evacuate.

I can’t believe the captain demanded to be called God then says it’s not his problem if people decide to stay or not on A SINKING SHIP, he should’ve been put in jail Sam, you had every right to rage, and salute to the entertainment crew who helped save everyone 🫡

Minute 19:05 is by far the most rage I've ever seen Sam in. LMAO

If you thought this was angering, SS Artic's story is enough to make you burst into tears with anger. The ship's crew were so selfish, that almost everyone aboard died. Unlike this story, it wasn't the Captain's fault. He was actually the hero of the story. The SS Artic suffered a huge collision and began sinking uncontrollably. However, before any of the passengers could make it into the lifeboats, when the Captain was busy mustering up as many passengers as he could below deck, the crew mutined and stole almost every lifeboat on the deck. Not to mention, some of the passengers began to get violent as they realized they had been left to die, and took the opportunity to sexually assualt many of the woman on the ship. Almost all the passengers on board died, and the few survivors nearly lost their sanity by what had happened. If you thought Costa Concordia was bad this was a thousand times worse! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6t3psiD2rCYiKs.html

We love the rage towards terrible captains! Ring the shame bell and walk them through the town!

Rage meter, great idea. Rage quitting for a second, totally justified, lol. Twas a miracle indeed that no died. Fantastic job, Sam!

It’s very entertaining watching mild mannered Sam lose it! 😂 love the anger meter, totally justified, that captain was a selfish jerk! Great video!

Love your honesty and great story telling, Sam! But your blood pressure does increase when you discuss these so-called "captains."

I think that Moss Hills deserves a Video for him self. This was not the only time that he bekomme a real hero. Great video by the way 👍

Oh boy Sam. You think you're raging over this- wait till you do a video on the sinking of MV Sewol! There was major screwups from not only the captain & his crew, but from the response from both the South Korean Navy to even the South Korean President! As for the ship here, I remember reading about it's final moments being captured by ABC News. It's a miracle that everyone on board survived.

Sam, don't blame you for raging!!! That Captain & senior staff should be in prison!!!!!! BRAVO to the Entertainment Staff for their bravery & dedication to the passengers!!!!

I like the fact that Sam starts raging, then calms down and diverts the anger to the rage-meter, then starts casually raging like he wasn’t on camera…😂

They where sooooo lucky the ship stayed afloat so long and 'palm in face" the musicians and crusie director mustered the passengers and called for help. They are heroes.

4:40 thru 4:45 I raged so hard at that line, ended up punching a trailer wall in anger. How dare Avranas call himself "God"

Another amazing video from historic travels keep up the fantastic work!! Ive always been interested in the Oceanos’s sinking it sank in such a strange way comparing it to say another cruise ship like costa Concordia

Love how i asked for a video like this a few weeks ago and then it happened. Thanks and great Video :D

Hi Sam Moss Hills is a complete legend he was also on a liner that caught fire and sank, it would make a good video on Moss Hills.

You have every right to rage at that kind of irresponsibility of the captain and crew

I love your videos as always Sam, keep up the great work.

I love raging Sam!! 😂 This was a great video and you had every right to be pissed off at that sorry excuse for a Captain.

I would have been raging massively throughout the video with the actions of this captain. Best video you have ever done. If I would have been on the rescue helicopter of the Oceanos I would have taken back out to sea and forced him into the sea.

I saw bright sun films' video on this ship and sinking and it blew my mind. Those entertainment staff were absolute heroes. I'm excited to hear your video on this! Love your channel

Thank you for putting this out there. I still remember it happened on my dad's birthday, I was on that ship when it sank and still give thanks to everyone that assisted in helping us.

I kid you not, Captain Smith would be very disappointed at the Captain of the Oceanos as well as First Officer William Murdoch for his actions onboard the vessel.

I'm curious about the heartbreaking story that took place on the night when the RMS Titanic went down. Could you make a video about the story of Isador and Ida Strauss, the most heartbreaking story of the Titanic?

Wow that is the most I have ever seen Sam RAGE 🤬 but he was within his rights, I honestly thought bright side was going to push him over the edge Hail to the entertainers that saved all the passengers of the oceanos

The entertainment staff deserves life long compensation

Great video!! Keep up the great work on your videos!

The actions of the captain and crew was absolutely inexcusable/unacceptable!!! The entertainment crew was absolutely heroic!!! Bravi to them!!!

Hey Sam! Hope you are doing fine. I really love these videos of yours. Keep it up

Sam you ever become a captain of a ship im down to learn how to sail and be apart of your crew

How did that guy become a captain?!?!

The captain and crew of the Oceanos basically left five hundred people (many of whom were elderly and / or disabled or infirm) to die on a sinking ship in a violent tempest. Rage is the entirely appropriate reaction, it still angers me that this so-called captain faced no consequences for his cowardice. As for Moss Hills, his role in the evacuation of the ill-fated Achille Lauro when she burned in November 1994 has been mentioned elsewhere. I don't know whether I'd be unnerved or reassured by his presence on the same ship as me, but he seems to be wasted as an entertainer. With his calmness under pressure he should study for his Master's licence, he'd make a great sea captain. I'll add my name to the list of those keen to see the Achille Lauro given the Historic Travels treatment. Both beautiful ships, with nice proportions, yacht-like lines and perceptible sheer. I wish cruise liners still looked like this!

"Slowly getting faster." I feel I need to work this into a conversation somehow...

Thank you so much for doing this video! It didn't disappoint at all.

I do not want to know how you will react to the incident in Korea… very scary how close to the Titanic date that ferry sunk.

Good seeing you back & your ship 🚢 videos Your voice keeps my boring nights at work .. come alive

Finally it’s here! The story on how the crew members of a sinking cruise ship completely punked out helping the passengers escape and left the ship’s entertainer’s in charge of getting the passengers to safety. And a captain, who in addition to not being the last person to get off the ship, said that abandoning ship was *an option* for people on board. So what was the other option, Going down with the ship?

We share your frustrations 100%

Thank you for the upload!

this is an amazing story, and one I have never heard before!

Love your video as always. I was wondering though have you ever considered doing military vessels? Like the Bismarck, The Indianapolis, stuff like that? I don't know if it would consider it too off-brand for the type of content you like to make.

11:27 That "no no no no no" got me

I don't know what it takes to care so little about the lives of other humans as much as the crew of this ship. Those entertainment staff were absolute heroes and the real crew during the sinking. I would be honoured to help in a situation like this and my first thought would be how to help as many people survive as possible. I can't imagine filling up a lifeboat with personal belongings and leaving all those people unaware of what's going on. That's a total disgrace.

I have been suggesting this since I found your channel. Today is a good day Edit: If you do another shipwreck, you should consider telling the story of the nightmare aboard the SS Arctic

Amazing video!

I was waiting for a gag reel where Sam goes off cussin and rantin!! I even had my popcorn ready lol

"Abandon ship as a precaution". I am an ER doctor. That's like saying to someone that their family member isn't sick or isn't dying...we are just starting CPR as a precaution.

I wanted to know about that sinking. Thanks Sam

please do a video on the Achille Lauro next, since it also involved Moss Hills and the same entertainment staff

I think we all need a rage meter lol

That "captain" was a piece of work to put it kindly

I thought I saw all the rage with the Costa Concordia video, HOLLY COW SAM jokes aside amazing vid Sam look forward to more

Yesssss! Another video, can you do a video on the RMS Leinster, it's an Irish ship that sank of the coast of Dublin,by a submarine

RIP anger meter (it exploded later than expected In a mushroom cloud fashion) Moss Hill Is an unfortunate hero, also being on board Achille Lauro.

Give praise to the entertainment staff who took action to save all those on bord. I can't believe the action of the captain. He didn't care about his passgers he cares only about himself. Fantastic video don't bame you for getting angry

19:09 SAM EXPLODED 🌋🤯

Love when you say “ I kid you not!”

It takes a special sort of person to work with others, particularly on a ship where you have to get along and manage, be in charge. I don't know if you have to do this in your own job, but I would dearly love some insight from someone who has been there, into how he could have got so far in life and got away with it. It's never just being good at the job mechanics, it's about the right people skills too.

love your channel, greetings from germany!

Hey Sam great video thank you. BTW is that a ghost orb going across your room between 2:29 & 2:35

Great Video!❤

Nice video 👍

The Entertainment Director became the Captain and the Guitar Player became the First Mate. The original Officers packed up and left without word. It must have seemed much simpler and easier to just leave. Enough said! I recall a Dutch Passenger Liner with an Indonesian Crew and mostly German Passengers which had a fire aboard ship hundreds of miles off British Columbia in the Pacific. It was in the news in about the 1990's. There was no storm. A fire took place and a crew member or two were killed. The lights went out. As a safety measure the order to Abandon Ship was issued, but the Captain and crew left on their own. The passengers were left onboard on their own. They entered the food area and helped themselves. The crew bobbed nearby. After a few days Canadian Coast Guard arrived and got the crew back aboard. I looked it up online and found little or nothing. Could you locate and report on that?

19:10 "we are at SAMCON LEVEL 1!!! I repeat: we are at SAMCON LEVEL-" *my mobile data gets disconnected* I got disconnected for real

Amazing the guitarist found himself the sole occupant of the bridge and he knows nothing about the ships operation. But he and the entertainment staff do the job the crew have just deserted. I was fully expecting steam to pour out of your ears and sound like Big 'T's whistle.

So there was a storm brewing and the ship was halfway through a repair. They should have just stayed the night.

Can we stop calling him "captain" cause I sure as hell didn't see one

This video is so great that I’m going to watch it again 😅😂
