Hong Kong’s iconic Jumbo Floating Restaurant capsizes and sinks in South China Sea 

I agree with you.

The same thing happened with the Twin Towers.

I feel so as well. In calm seas and at that location. Anyway, where was it supposed to be enroute to?

Pretty well definitely. In fact it's so blatantly probable I'd be surprised if any insurance company would cough up. I wouldn't

A dry tow would would have been a better option considering how fragile the structures is.

I know, almost as bad as Tiananmen Square

Aberdeen? This floating structure goes all the way to aberdeen??

Sorry i thought you meant aberdeen in scotland🙃

HK has floating restaurant My inddia has burning trainns

@@muhammadshidqi4916 Aberdeen, HK I think in Chinese it is called 香港仔

And?

the less expensive way of getting rid of a white elephant

Why did they do it?

YES IKR THERES NO FOOTAGE OR ANY BELIEVEABLE EVIDENCE OF HOW IT SANK

@@justme-wh7qk it's too heartbreaking. If they lied I hope they did. I do not want HK to change. It's too devastating. China must learn to RESPECT other places and people. #LongLiveHongKong !!!

its the cheapest and fastest way to get rid of a ship.to restore it will cost millions and scrapping it is not that cheap.

My thoughts exactly.

Sad....

@@isntwhatitis4920 CONGRATULATIONS on their Wedding as most will never even have a Wedding or even a Marriage

@@isntwhatitis4920 that's pretty cool tbh

Osaka-ben Ikemen... Are you the Asian Osama-Bin Laden?

@@isntwhatitis4920 , it’s actually a tradition. We usually have weddings in big restaurants here in HK

Agreed - one wonders in these instances...

Of course it was - It was a rusting liability - so they pretend to move from port A to port B and open the sea valve half way in between. I bet all the stainless steel and copper was taken off already.

Said they were towing it to a secret location. They tried to sell it or give it to Ocean Park. No takers and it was costing the owners money to maintain the restaurant.

Sounds like you're familiar with this kind of thing.... hmmm.....

Does sound very suspicious

deliberate or not, it was in disrepair and nobody was prepared to keep it in HK.

Insurance money

@@Superpooper-2020 When will we see floating trains?

If you use more !!!! marks your point will reach a bigger audience.

@@KitKitChanIsaac you mean a ferry?

@@reptar69 why does this bother you? You must have some problems. If u dont like it just move on

not sure you can get much insurance payout from it considering it's low value. it just needed to be disposed of.

Haha. Yes. A new grand home for marine life.

@@alexgibb8406 NO, he only predicted that.

Actually, I think it is an appropriate and dignified end. To the bottom of the sea with all its grandeur intact.

@Chris Waters I'm sure your demise will precede theirs.

What a great end!

Disgusting… more pollution into the sea

My thoughts exactly. The owner tried selling but no one was interested because of the high cost of repair and maintenance.

That’s what I was thinking

My first thought

@@TLavery707 it was worse than that. they tried giving it away.

@@JewTube001 wow it must have needed tons of work! Too bad such a beautiful restaurant now the sea creatures can enjoy it.

@@Superpooper-2020 what💀

You had decades to come here don't complain!

@@victoriaregina8344 wdym I’m only 18!!! they could be 15 for all you know 😩 I know I certainly didn’t have decades to go

Same… just finding it out and would love to visit

I hear you. A huge floating restaurant capsizes and not one video of the event?

There should be weather records though of that area to validate some things?

I wonder if the Chinese government had anything to do with this.

it wasn't a business anymore, so it was costing money. nobody wanted to manage it so they disposed of it.

Are you willing to pay for it with your tax money?

this is symbolic of HK's future

@@JewTube001 they could turn it similar to old military ships place it on land and make it into a museum maybe keep some of the restaurant

Its weird coz it was known worldwide, people could still earn profit from it

At least there's food for the fishes living down there

Please do not embarrass yourself. Who tows a floating barge to the middle of the South China Sea and expect it to be safe? It should have been hugging the coastline in calmer waters. Basic common sense.

It definitely sounds “FISHY”

My thoughts exactly. Pulling that enormous unseaworthy bldg in the middle of a vast ocean is really suspicious

it's already sinking in Hong Kong

What’s telling, after the fact that it ‘magically’ survived such voyage in the open ocean till it reached a CCP controlled area, is that there seems to be no video or pics of the event, of the sinking, in this day and age! How convenient 🙄

@@V0YAG3R Well such voyage only lasted for 2 days, so it’s not like it travelled for a long journey before deciding to founder on a specific place, it just so happened, which makes sense considering the location of the origin. And what’s so odd about no footage and pics, it’s not like it’s a grand passenger ship with lives involved. Distress call weren’t even made. You heard of of the oil tanker that sank near the coast of Tunisia just last month ? Probably not, there wasn’t any footage of the sinking, so is that a deliberate act again ? Another example would be the El Faro, a US cargo ship lost at sea with actual 0 footage, and only distress call. Ships sinking in the middle the middle of the ocean are not always prone to have footage unless close to populated areas such as the Costa Concoardia, or the shipwreck remains afloat for a suspended long amount of time. Usually the only proof to go with is the actual wreck of distress call, in which since no human lives were involved, the latter does not apply.

All ready open for Marine life....soon it will become a diving spot.

First, we cooked fish. Now, we feed them!

With the new inhabitants as the menu entree

Fresh seafood on the menu.

Obviously it was planned purposely initially by the owner as the cost to store or demolish it more expensive than just make it sink in the sea

Yeah that's what I thought. It seems some journalists don't have dictionaries

LOL... I see a sort of Hunt for Red October plot device.

for what? it's already sinking even without towing

Hello Jean, how are you doing today

Hello Maria, how are you doing today

Yeah. Hahaha I called BS on the capsized propaganda.

@@kaelthunderhoof5619 Dunno. If the kitchen can capsize in a calm harbor, what do you think of a floating restaurant in the middle of an ocean?

@@anthonywinebarger yeah it wasn't seaworthy at all, they were probably just sailing around waiting until it finally capsized.

@@anthonywinebarger Besides, the restaurant didn't seem to have a very deep hull. Had I known that it was going to the middle of the sea, I would have expected it to capsized.

I wouldn’t call it honorable

What were they thinking? They sunk it deliberately so as to end all the cost it engenders for taking care of it.

Nobody wanted to pay for it

@@cheungch1990 okay, make sense. Still horrible that a piece of history just disappear like that, but make sense....

The fact that no one from the crew even thought to take a single photo in an age where you can sneak in full videos from anywhere means theres some fishy business going on. Like what most said it was most likely deliberately sunk

@@Despotic_Waffle yeah, I saw those comments after I posted mine and..... I'm starting to believe em

Insurance claims!!!

@@donmallard2141 no poiint the restrount was owned by one of the richest person in hngkong

All about the insurance

Then you should bought it... So you would know how hard to maintain it especially on this pandemic ┐(￣ー￣)┌

Hong Kong

​@@studybuddy. which is also part of China....

EmperorCQX they don’t consider themselves to be so I don’t either. Same goes for Taiwan and Tibet.

@@studybuddy. lol yet it is still part of China. In fact most of them still think themselves as part of China. So according to what you said, it is still China lol

EmperorCQX oh. I see you are loyal to the communist party. I can’t make a brainwashed individual see sense. You can continue to think what you want, but that does not make it the truth. I hope you see the light one day.

only the kitchen block. it stayed in HK.

remnants of an undersea society?
