Remember Captain “I abandoned ship” Schettino? This is the ship he abandoned. The story of the worst cruise accident since the Titanic, the harrowing moment-by-moment narrative of how it happened, from those who were aboard and the islanders who saved their lives. This 2-parter tells the whole story behind the catastrophic sinking of the Costa Concordia in January 2012 - an amazing tale of errors and missteps that led to one of the biggest shipwrecks since the Titanic.
Condolences to all the families of lost loved ones. Many and sincere appreciation to the Mayor and Asst Mayor of the Island and the Italian Coast Guard and Captain of CG, and All the people of the Island who gave so generously and the ship staff who helped everyone!
Belize central america I'm from and i say thanks to all the Italian authorities & the locals on the island who help the survivors!! Bravo!! RIP to those who died on the Costa Concordia!!✌🏽🙏🌎💯🇧🇿🇮🇹
Just want to say thank you to this amazing channel and all the documentaries that helped me through tough and lonely times. Thank you very much! We really appreciate you!!
I extend my Condolences toward all involved. This is a horrible tragedy that never should have happened. There is no way to repay these vacationing passengers. This is a nightmare.
i have seen a couple of documentaries of this tragic event, but none like this one. very well done. thank you, this is so sad. i would never ever go on a cruise 🚢. shame on that captain 👨✈️
I have been on several of them. They're not for everyone but I always enjoy it. I know it's hard to ever want on a ship after seeing something like this but honestly it's such a rare occurrence that you might as well say you'll never fly again or get in a car which we do everyday. We recognize that in reality, the likelihood of danger is rare in a ship.
Our lord tested the residents of Isola del Giglio with the influx of passengers and were met with open arms. Pass with flying colores...Bravo kind hearted islanders.👏👏🙏👊❤
It was nowhere near the Titanic disaster! That's just absurd! 32 dead (rest their souls) compared to over 1,000. The people that died didn't die from sinking or ice cold water. Any in the water could have swam to the nearby land or to the rocks the ship hit. There were plenty of lifeboats and there were other nearby boats that could have come help. The ship never sank, it tipped over. The Titanic had none of that! Not ideal by any means but hardly the devastation and hopelessness of the Titanic.
I can feel the fear and the panic in the narration . TBH it's difficult to comprehend the enormity of the disaster in the night and declare it an emergency. The failure of the electrical systems compounded the problem.
I have been looking for a good docu about this incident... FINALLY HAVE ONE!! Thanks a ton! This Captain was horrible.. How on earth could he act like nothing was a big deal? Omgosh!! Don't ever let him on a ship again!
@@harapaki3412 Huh? Absolutely zero idea what on earth you're writing about.. Are you not getting enough attention at home so you needed to post something pathetic to get attention?
@ 19:29 it's shocking that somebody's situational awareness could be so bad. How could you enter that ship and see the sheer size of it and think it could only be 10 meters wide?
That captain acted like he was just a passenger on a ship...No responsibility ...His thinking was *modern cruise ships never sink*...if that happens it's a tragedy and out of my control. WRONG as a captain Ina ship....you are the last man off the ship by not only moral code but maritime LAW!!! a true coward and paying for his cowardice in prison. He never should have taken the responsibility of captain in the first place and the he would not be responsible....He made a choice....and was dishonest to himself and other around him...that is criminal....
I appreciate the passengers's interview. Only one thing, at 21:28, i think that is the footage of a pool malfunction of another ship, happened time before Concordia
Seems like a lot of people did small things too help people and I’m sure it seemed small to them but probably saved someone’s life. But the coward captain 👨🏼✈️ left people stranded
The map they use is turned around. Also you refer to position as if you are facing the bow. Starboard is "right" and Port is "left." The Costa sank and was turned on its STARBOARD (right) side. The documentary continually confuses this fact by saying left or right while facing the front of the ship. It's very confusing.
Comment Sense tells me that in a case like this, the cabin is the last place one to be trapped in. when the ship goes under is taken you with it. noooo thank you, even if i win a trip such as this i wouldn’t go.
Sometimes I question if we stopped wearing heels because of comfort or because of the knowledge that in these terrorists attacks, mass shootings and other unsuspected disasters we have a better chance of survival.
I'm pretty sure I'd have my life jacket on and go to a low point and jump into the water. Then swim for the land that was in sight or to the rocks the ship hit. The Mediterranean water shouldn't have been that cold especially because they were in more shallow water.
3:08 ivon and roger speak dutch. They are from belgium and not from germany. But maybe they life there. They speak as we say in belgium ‘vlaams’.. just saying. Really interesting doc btw. You never fail 😀
I cannot understand why people go on cruise ships. They all have the interiors that look like tacky casinos with no class, you're stuck in a floating petrie dish of germ incubation. It's just a floating hotel that for large periods of time you can't leave, even if you wanted to. And don't forget, they use bunker oil as fuel, the single dirtiest fuel there is.
Not only can cruise ships generate the same amount of sulfur dioxide fumes as 13.1 million cars in a day, but they also dump boatloads of noxious bilge water into the ocean. Nice.
I'm confused why people were evacuating on the port side when that was the direction of the lean... They should have turned people away from the port muster stations. Hindsight I guess.
10:42..."at times, the Indonesian Helmsman had trouble understanding the instructions...." A 60,000+ Tonne Cruise Ship, has a Helmsman that is unable to understand his Captain's orders...... not that it would have made any difference to the Captain's stupidity if the Helmsman could understand him, but come on, the Crew being on the same page would have to be one of the more pressing necessities when it comes to handling a Ship...... right ?
