My grandparents and I drove to Prince William sound to help with the clean up after the Exxon-Valdez spill.You could smell the burning animal carcasses 20 miles away it was sickening. We spent a week there,put up by locals who were wonderful people.
Is running a ship aground due to unfortunate genetics or flat out ignorance considered unlucky? Or is it unfortunate those people only have to meet a substandard requirement set by a substandard country?
The amount of human errors committed in this video by pilots is staggering. They just didn’t tell you about it. Costa Concordia captain for instance was sentenced to jail for 16 years. You’d actually offend a lot of ppl saying Schettino was merely “unlucky” haha
You forgot M/Y Utopia IV when we crashed into a gasoline tanker called M/V Tropic Breeze which sank. Then almost 2 years later Utopia crashed again this time into the bridge 4 blocks away from the US Federal Courthouse that the lawsuit of 7 crew members of Utopia is going to trial for refusing to pay our wages and damages. I was the ETO on M/Y Utopia when we crashed. Our Captain had watchkeeping duties 14 minutes prior to the catastrophic collision while we were doing 20knots. Trial begins July 29th 2029 in Miami.
The tanker that sank was carrying about 156,000 gallons of gasoline, 8,000 gallons of propane on deck, and then diesel & oil required to run a tanker. Their crew were rescued without any major injuries reported.
I was living in the bay when the Rena incident happened, we spent half a year cleaning up the beaches and wildlife, there was a shipload of fuel and oil everywhere, we never saw a dime but the locals did a massive volunteer effort, hippies flocked to pitch in, it was a good show of goodwill. I think some of the hostels and motels provided free lodging for workers.
Ever Given - Who was to blame. Could The Pilot not compensate for the wind, (possible with the aid of tugs), or Is this the first time the wind ever blew?

@@Cavemanadam82 I was just going to explain that very fact. They also mentioned a ship called the thief foss helping out with a ship grounded. The Foss Fleet is named after the women of the family! Yet they all say "Foss" on the side.
The most expensive shipping mistakes in history are Titanic, Estonia, Costa Concordia, SS Edmund Fitzgerald, Lusitania and Ever Given. About of Titanic, in reality it was Britannic what was sinked and real Titanic is just hiding. About of Estonia, it's sinking happened in september 28 1994, it wasn't an accident I believe someone made it because there was weapons in Estonia and it's very interesting to have a birthday just in september 28 what is Estonia's sinking day. Costa Concordia is a modern day's 1 of the most expensive mistake, no it was a disaster what I've been interested why and how it happened, I've watched many videos about of Costa Concordia. SS Edmund Fitzgerald and Lisutania I only know from a RU-vid videos but about of Ever Given, that ship what was stuck in Egypt's Suez's canal I remember of the most because it happened over 2 years ago in 2021 if i'm remember it right and it was that big mistake it's events of an accident the ship Ever Given reached even here in Finland because there was a fraight transportations to Europe. Suez canal's Ever Given is 1 of a modern day's shipping mistakes what happened in my lifetime and I remember it just like in yesterday. 🌏🌍🌎🌃🏞🏜🏝🌊🚢🛳⛴️🛥
I was eight years old when the Torrey Canyon debacle ensued. We used to have our summer holidays in Weymouth, Dorsetshire Uk which had the most amazingly beautiful beach. That July when we tried to dig in the sand, about six inches down it was thick black oily sand- the result of the Torrey Canyon disaster, that polluted large sections of the British Isles with the Cruide Oil it was carrying.
Its crazy to think that all trade in the worls can be jeopardized by one boat...we need a contingency plan. Why does everything have to be large scale....it serves more demand yes but also causes a world wide domino effect when it fails.
A lot of the images are totally different ships to the ones being referenced. for instance, in the beginning of the Stellar Daisy clip (19:55), you show a massive container ship when talking about the ships specifications, despite the fact that the Stellar Daisy is bulk carrier, not a container ship. I have no, idea what that ship is, but it's not the Stellar Daisy! Nor is the ahip at 20:32!
