With many mysteries, the answers that make the most sense are from someone who is "Not an expert" So often I look specifically for them in the comments. This time, even after the surprise chuckle, I think the non-expert nailed it!
Perhaps the crew comprised of compulsive liars with alleged experience via a BS, CV/resume. I believe a truly experienced crew wouldn't have allowed so many rudimentary errors, regarding watertight doors particularly. Maybe they were 'advised' that way.
Does an engine overheat instantly, or is it a gradual thing? Just asking .... If an engine's temperature is climbing, can it be eased down a notch or two? If a yacht (ship, really) is bouncing over waves, can it be turned to run in troughs (as opposed to over crests)? Just asking .....
@@davesmith5656 I'm far from an expert too, but If you turn perpendicular to the direction the waves are moving (waves hitting your sides), you're more likely to get swamped. I think you want to attack the waves either head on, or maybe a few degrees off from head on. Stern facing the waves I think also leads to bad things. Obviously...
Not really thankful; they are paid to do this, and they like the attention and thrill, also they have expensive and proven equipment and techniques to rescue with. They could also bill the insurance company or rescued party in many cases. Nothing brave about a paid thrill seeker doing something with tax payer dollars. Good video.
@@clarityanalytics wow, they literally risk their own lives to save other people's lives. Are you arguing they should do that for nothing? What great contribution to society have you made?
A good friend of mine owns a small marina on the Great Lakes, he has had several vessels over the years, probably dozens, he has sunk every one of them at least once! Several of them at the dock! His latest boat 45' sank this spring already! He's such a moron friend 🙄
"Le BEAmer remarque que la gestion de crise a été assurée sans prise de risques inutiles et avec sang-froid par l‟équipage, sous l‟autorité du capitaine."
Yes definitely. People like me had no idea this went on and am enthralled. Really enjoyed this one, and like always Mr E Sysman does a wonderful job of narrating without ego - a very tricky thing to pull off.
Strange how they kept going at 60% power although the engines were overheating. What were the engineers doing in the engine room? Sleeping? And when the first engine quit due to sustained overheating, the logical thing to do was to throttle back the remaining engine to prevent that one from overheating. Especially in severe weather conditions you don't want to be without working engines, because that is a virtual death sentence for your ship. Yet they kept the second engine at a high power setting until also quit due to overheating. It doesn't compute.
Even with both engines usable but with overheating issues, seems they could have run one engine until it got too hot, then shut it down and restart the other one that had been off and cooling.
@@genericname3600 indeed. In my long checkered life I had plenty of opportunity to get an ailing overheating engine to shop or home, and heat soaking was difficult to stay ahead of.
What about the rabbits, beavers and moles! To this day, one cannot say "Rabbit" on a French boat, due to the many that went to the bottom, scuttled by their own food source in the bilge...(one says, "The Big Ears" when rabbit is for lunch offshore.....
The vessel was engined to fail, of course the captain and crew are the only ones to give a definitive answer as to what happened due to the questionability of the data recorder being absent but if you question the build and those who signed off the vessel the question i would ask is who wasn't involved in the insurance scam. Signed off by four technicians, there's four men i wouldn't let near my bath tub no mind a vessel.
Interesting enough, why was chief engineer Laurent Clement, who had very little experience aboard Yogi (one and a half months at most prior to the sinking), why was he offered a Captain's job in the charter industry so soon after said accident? With hugely deep pockets and many reputations at stake (the shipyard, insurers, the owner, et al.) this stinks of a coverup and payoffs. Somebody got away with something.
Well, you've outdone yourself here mate, cracking video, as for the yacht, it would be interesting to read the insurance Investigators report because at that amount of money it would be forensic. Can't wait for the second installment. Well done.
90% of the energy and thought on this type of boat goes into the luxury amenities. The crew becomes not the best you can hire, but the best looking. The French Navy has lost battles sitting in port, so maybe investing in a vineyard is a better proposition.
I had to attend several safety trainings at work and what I remember is that a disaster seldom happens from one reason alone. Usually, multiple factors contribute to an accident or disaster if equipment failures and human errors happen in a certain sequence. When inspected in isolation, individual vulnerabilities may not be easily detectable, which may lead to a total failure if the conditions are right. After all, everybody thought that Titanic was unsinkable too. If it was deliberate, then it must have been planned well, to meet all the conditions to sink the boat and make it look like plausible to satisfy the inspectors. Putting lives at risk, of both the crew and rescue personnel would be also very sinister. It’s a curious event indeed.
When I was a commercial diver we had a "rule of three" - when three problems happened there was a significant chance of a complete system failure, whatever it was. That is why whenever a problem occurred we tried to fix it straight away and not wait for the other things to happen.
What a great video. The compilation, research, facts and presentation all top notch. If I had to guess at this stage it appears to be a deliberate act albeit highly risky if it was.
Hmm, first one engine down, then second engine down, then flooding one compartment, flooding continues to other compartments. Were the crew that incompetent? Was the build that compromised? Interesting how you discussed the owner.
The crew, just moderately incompetent. Now you have to consider the propulsion manufacturer's, the construction firm, etc. No easy job there. Plenty of time and skill went into that master plan.
The official accident report assigned no blame to any of the crew,though it appears there was plenty of blame to go around.I tend to agree,it was probably insurance fraud,and a conspiracy by the crew to keep quiet about the actual events.Probably never know what really happened.One of the owners of the yard,committed suicide over the loss of the yacht.
My sister and I were bonging. Our mom came home and saw the bong. She said to me, 'Is this yours, Stanley?' I said, 'No, it's Jane's, Jane's bong.' Just then the door flew open and Shaun Connery, with his 9mm pistol in hand, said, 'You rang?'
Looking forward to Part 2. To ask a question of you eSysman if I may, don't these type of vessels normally avoid storm conditions and seek shelter in a cove or port and wait out?
Not just yachts. Most ships avoid sailing in very bad weather, but that requires a good master who will resist commercial pressure. The master must be prepared to pack his bags just in case though.
Hold on, this was a 48m boat, built to the latest spec. Plus, the sea state was only 7 in the Med. If he had pulled in to a weather harbour, I would question his ability (as it turns out, it needs questioning anyway). The staff clearly had no training, The French MV Flag Certs are about as good a Liberia or Panama. The Turks usually put together good ships and this was the second in its class, not the first. Therefore the shipyard would have ironed the kinks out on the first ship. As for this ship, the loss of power will make you feel like you are on a bobbing cork, yet the 1st Officer said he still had his trusters to put her Bow to the waves, his bow thrusters we're working, the ship was built with stablisers and a bow plane. You only have to look at the issues in the world where the upper was Greek or Turkish. Both are fond of abandoning ship at a whim.
Not every storm is correctly forecast for its severity. And if you are in open ocean there may be no time or opportunity to run for shelter. Weather can blow up pretty quick. If wave and wind action is very heavy it's best to point the bow into the wind. I don't understand how this vessel ended up stern into the wave direction. Usually if you lose power the boat drifts broadside to the wind.
I'm so appreciate you do your own narration, could listen to you read the dictionary and be entertained and soothed . Loathe those electronic generated narrateives or worse even, a narrator who "robotically" reads the script, mispronouncing even the simplest of words. Let us not neglect to mention your expansion knowledge and understanding. What a treasure to enjoy the story and learn so very much as you go along. Thank you for your time, research and efforts, you do a wonderful job and seem like such a clever, quick witted chap, cheers !!!
I just feel for the crew, I have worked in the yachting industry for many years and thank goodness I have never been through an experience like this one.
Pretty crappy design in my book - and an appalling lapse of due diligence by the new French registration authority!! Also questionable understanding of the captai, 1st officer and chief engineer of the vessel's systems, capabilities and emergency procedures.
Insuring the vessel without requireing a VDR was a serious oversight on the insurance companys part. Requireing a $2k to $3K device on a $3.5 million vessel would be a perfectally reasonable requirement from the insurance company. As well as video of the engine and operational areas of the ship and bridge voice recordings.
@goawaken afriend It is not necessary that the box floats. Flight data recorders can and do sink and can be recovered if the searchers can narrow the area where the plane went down.
Interesting Video, when you look at the financial aspect, it seems quite Insurance-fraud-y. He buys an expensive yacht, needs to pay back the L'oreal heiress fast, pays the captain, chief engineer e.t.c 1-2 million, tells them to sink it. Saves the money on depreciation, and is only out of pocket 5 million tops.
Good stuff, very interesting and would love to know what happened, could the crew been inexperienced? Seems really odd that poor decisions were made and why aren’t turquoise yachts doing there own investigation as if I was the ship builder I would make sure my reputation of my product was solid and in tact, great job as always hopefully your feeling okay as there seems to be a covid wave in South America is that true,👍🏻⚓️😎🍺
I heard in a report that many modifications were carried out on the ship without the designers knowing about it, so that the ship did not have stability and then capsized in the rough sea.
Where did you hear that? When? In which report? What did this report say exactly? If you have reliable information let us know. If you do not, avoid spitting out any kind of made up rumors.
If this was a brand new yacht and one needed to turn it back into money quickly, wouldn't it make more sense just to sell it? My understanding is that available "now" yachts are worth more than order for manufacture. This is based on another video by this RU-vidr.
🤔I believe it was ordered to be sank. It was sad to see such a beautiful vessel go down.😔😢 🙋🏻♀️🗣Here’s what I believe.... The girlfriend of the guy who was married to the lady who was having an affair with the other guy who was dating the woman who is best friends with the other woman who was married to the other guy but was seeking a divorce was seeing the guy who was best friends with a guy who was the brother of a another guy who went out twice with a lady who sometimes dated one of the guys who hung out with another guy who sold jewelry to one of the owner’s business associates who wore a beautiful watch that the captain liked was told by another person who had a crush on the owner and was soon to attend one the famous fabulous invitation only cocktail parties where you had to know someone who knew someone was dating one of the caterers of the party said they heard people talking and speculating that perhaps possibly it was actually the owner who mistakenly wanted it downed and washed clean with an awful lot of sea water to one day become a reef for the best polish for sea life, so the captain mistook that to mistakenly mean that the vessel should be drenched with water at high max speeds and strong winds in a storm so he suggested that the crew should have their passports and other important papers at the ready at all times in waterproof containers tied around their necks at all times so they could have them ready for their next assignments after this assignment, while they wore their orange anti-drowning uniforms just in case the vessel were to have it’s stern at the wind because those items including their lives are irreplaceable and they shouldn’t worry about any records because music is mostly digitally downloaded these days anyway and are easily replaced as long as you have your proof of purchase from Apple, alarm reports and written logs disintegrate in water over time any way, so they aren’t worth saving or necessary to save their lives or receive their pay and bonuses so the owner called his lawyers to call their lawyers and the insurer’s lawyers because that isn’t what he meant at all, he wasn’t even there because he was tending to other important business including how he could move things around on the chessboard so he would return the €143 euros to the L’Oreal heiress who was having problems with Alzheimer’s and because he realized he only bought it for his ego as a business, so he figured it was just as well that the eight (not to be confused with the hateful eight) took the final voyage of Yogi even though Boo Boo didn’t get to say bye because they were accustomed to using landline phones and couldn’t operate defective ship communication devices which resulted in them not being able to reach each others during the tragic emergency, but they were in great shape and could run really fast from the engine room to reach the captain at the bridge not only that, they didn’t really know how fast they were going. All they knew was they wanted to reach 500 meters below as quickly as possible while being rescued as quickly as possible before all of that happened because they were awful tired and wanted to bunker on land with their loved ones. That’s what I believe. 🤨
The sea there is max averages 100m. I have drived on the RMS Britannic (Sister ship of Titanic) sunk by a German submarine in WWI while it was being used as a Hospital ship, it was fully painted white with the Green Cross. The bottom there would allow a ship of that value to be successfully raised.
A valve or some other component somewhere installed upside down? Happens to the best, like a Proton rocket where someone forced in a component upside down with a hammer.
Sure would have made a FANTASTIC Sport Fisher out of San Diego.....but..... ship wreck diving is popular now, bet they can make back most the construction costs in just 80-90 years or so, Nitrox is a great way to beat the bends. Nice going Capt.
well-known shipyard...well-known design office... well-known equipment... certified by every possible institution that exists... some hard weather but it's curtainly not an apocalypse situation... an invester who doesn't have good reputation and needs quick & large cash at the time... isn't that so obvious?? I wonder if the insurance companies are that stupid to cover this amount of losses...
This was a charter boat ... with Zero Charters on the horizon it does not surprise me more of these "events" can start happening with Charter boats, specially those payed with huge leveraged bank loans. If the ship sinks .... Insurance money pays the bills ... there are no more liabilities ... no more problems ... the leveraged payments due will be passed to the Insurance and Bank.
While I am not sure about what happened, not that much of us can I do think something took place on purpose, maybe not intended to cause the sinking of the yacht though? Either it a) happened on purpose so that someone like maybe Stephan Corbi could tack advantage of the insurance money to help pay back his loan b) One of the crew needed help financially because they were sending money back home and so they are taking advantage of their own insurance money because of the shock of having to walk through waist-high water with the danger of the boat sinking at any moment and them having to choke underwater c) Although being chartered out, Yogi was a liability to Corbi and so instead of selling it, which might have looked bad on his side since there was a scandal about him paying back a loan and people might be beginning to wonder if he could afford to pay it back, he dumped it d) It was the fault of one of the crew members but Corbi doesn't want anybody to know. Whatever happened though I am pretty sure it was on purpose and not by accident.
The Titanic was not poorly designed, it was just damaged so badly modern, welded ships would probably also sink. They had no radar back then, today they would act different, because they could see an obstacle long before.
Corruption & Insurance Fraud Enterprise How about May 2017 Staged Car Crash. Funny, I never knew anything about Ships but I married in August 2016 a Musician whom works for Marks Airboats. I really believe there’s issues there.
I dident know that Turks built stuff i only thought that they only invaded everything, like the whole area that's today called Turkey but everything is built by the Romans.
I have 2 ideas one, the caption was doing something illegal which caused malfunctions or caused him to 'mix up' the truth. the 2nd would be the caption was not paying attention, in his cabin or some were else on deck instead of the bridge which caused him to lie about the incident because he did not want to look bad and get fired. I do not think this was insurance scam because it would be to elaborate to orchestrate then look like an accident because they will investigate the sunken shipwreck for insurance and to see what went wrong. It would be much easer to pull off arson and make it look like an accident then sink a modern ship and make it look like an accident
Insurance company was in on it. If they wasn’t why didn’t they have had the recorder on the yacht . sorry if it runs together I have a deteriorating brain condition
