Hull strength isn't actually related to the cabability of a ship to push stuff, but rather the weight of the things or the friction of the water@@Government_of_iroqi
I genuinely daydream about this exact scenario. I’m on a modern cruise ship, something happens, (machinery explodes, collision, etc) but the ship begins listing to one side so sharply the boats on the other side can’t be lowered, and she’s going rapidly. Normally the conclusion is a disaster worse than the Titanic, and I either die or survive after swimming for a boat or getting on a boat that floated off from the other side. (I get bored, sue me.)
I DO THE SAME THING. But I think nothing will be as iconic as Titanic, because when the Costa Concordia disaster happened exactly 100 years after Titanic not many people knew about it, and still dont. I dont think ship sinkings would be as viral anymore.
@@Achilles·LastStandthat’s coz the ship dint completely sink and there were no casualties .. evryone was rescued ..titanic sinking was very dramatic ..ship sank completely and took close to .1500 lives ..so obviously it wld be remembered very long .if costa had encountered the same fate im sure it wld be remembered in a long time too ..
Love the ghost of the Titanic at the end there 👻 Just reminding everyone in their modern lifeboats that anything that floats can be sunk, and that nature will always have the final word.
Could you please review the sinking of the Japanese Battleship Hiei someday? It seems very likely that she broke apart just like the Titanic but backwards. She took torpedo hits from 3 USN Destroyers on opposite sides of her hull amidships, sinks by the stern, rips in half, and now the entire bow half still needs to be found.
@@UnidentifiedToastProductions But it's not what killed them, they were still lowering lifeboats at the end, some didn't even get used, so what would more have done.
@@vincentmcbride6210 It's not a myth. They only had enough lifeboats for a little less than half of the passengers which is part of the reason why none of the lifeboats came back for any of the people in the water until almost everyone was dead. There were other factors, such as they didn't fill all the life boats and they didn't have everyone trained to use the lifeboat deployment system, but half of the people died because they couldn't get to a lifeboat. There were a ton of maritime laws created about lifeboats BECAUSE so many people died due to a lack of them. I'm not saying that's the only reason they died but it was a major factor in why there were so many deaths, meaning it's not a myth.
Although I will admit they started lowering them extremely late because they thought the ship wasn't sinking at first. I think one of the biggest problems is that not all the crewmen knew how to operate the machinery to release the lifeboats. The other problem was that the entire 1st class promenade didn't have any lifeboats because I would have blocked the water view. They could have filled that up with lifeboats just like the other promenades and then many more people would have lived.
As fun as seeing this scenario play out; it is so far from reality. 1) Modern cruise ships are designed for trans-Atlantic crossing but very few take oceanic or global routes, and those that do I think would cross at lower latitudes thus outside the ice fields common in the North Atlantic. 2) Modern cruise ships have radar which would detect the bergs in the water from miles out and careful navigatiion would take place to avoid any kind of impact. 3) ALL modern cruise ships have this wonderful propulsion unit called a bow thruster(s) which allows the bow or stern of a ship to rapidly pivot in the water, thus even if a cruise ship such as this was hundreds of meters from hitting a berg (Titanic was like 1500 meters away before noticing their deadly berg and tried turning), they would turn in time to miss hitting the colossal chunk of ice. 4) I believe the super structure of these class of vessels would fair a hell of a lot better from an iceberg impact that the poor Titanic...
if this ever happen it would be because of human error. large crew ships are design to prevent this kind of disaster.. I can't imagine how this can happen in real life.. it would be devastating !!
Exactly I was just saying they’ve never let this boat near an iceberg. The closest thing does boats got to worry about to issue in the water is a hurricane.
Imagine being an iceberg, floating there minding your own business, only for this beast of a bully to come along and push you over like that. This is a video of instant karma
This ship is going to be a bust. The cost for a 7 day cruise for 2 is ridiculous. They already sold out of the first cruises but after that the attendance will die down and they will never recoup their money at over 2.5 billion. Wont be long before there is a RU-vid video of them beaching it in a third world country to be scrapped
can you please make a ship from a diffrent company sink like carnival celebrity disney even marella aida holland tui silverseas im tired of seing royal carribean ships sink its annoying
There was no one in the life boats.. They disconnected before anyone could get into them.. Titanic came to claim the souls of the lost like "Ghostship"..@@lucasread1743
hi can you do something other then royal caribean like bc ferries maybe? i would be really cool if you did a fictionel sinking on their vessel called queen of Alberni pls reply to this saying yes or no.
Everyone still alive chillin in the probably heated and motorized lifeboats awaiting rescue from the mayday signal radioed out with coordinates earlier.
Actualmente este suceso es casi imposible, ya que el barco está protegido con tres capas de hacerlo, por si hay algún choque con otro barco o rocas o Icebergs. Actualmente la tecnología de los barcos es muy segura, en caso de que se hundiera, hay suficientes botes salvavidas para salvar a todos, aquellos botes salvavidas son muy seguros y tienen motores para moverse. En fin, obviamente es un suceso irreal (muy poco probable de que suceda) pero a lo mejor puede suceder.
completely depends on the amount of damage the hull sustains. Like the Titanic, it could survive an impact with an iceberg if the damage is non-critical. If we're assuming the same similar damage the Titanic sustained and the water intake was at the same capacity, it would take longer to sink. If the damage is magnified to the same proportion as the size of the vessel then it may sink approximately the same amount of time. A lot of variables so one cannot know without seeing the damage first.
With the superior under water sonic and viewing capabilities, why would a modern ship be subject to this old titanic scenario? More relevant would be an explosion, fire, terrorist act onboard, or rogue waves causing the ship to capsize. Unless the bridge was totally incompetent, asleep, or distracted while passing through ice conditions.
5:30 All I can imagine is me being stuck inside one the tube slides as the stern half of the ship is going under, and not being able to escape...terrifying!
Really love the Titanic cameo, it feels kind of poetic, that the sinking of the greatest ship that mankind has built would receive a visit by the ghost of the ship that gave us our iconic maritime disaster, and icon of the Seas has "Icon" in her name too.
Taitaa käydä toisin.. riippuu laivan nopeudesta kuinka lujaa se osuu jäävuoren nykypäivän laivat ei uppoa muuten kun kaatumamall aalokos tai osuu kivikon reunaan taikka sitten jos ampuu torpeedon
There is always going to be comparisons and connotations to Titanic, at the end of the day she is the most famous ship to have ever sailed. Titanic’s infamous history will continue on until the end of time, especially for reasons like SOLAS (saving lives at sea) a maritime law which started because of titanic.
such an amboniation probably should belong down there at the bottom of the seas and "bottom of the seas" should be their next ship name because cruise ship ugly
OK we’re only seeing about 10 lifeboats. And the icon holds 10,000 people we noted there are not 1000 people on each one of those boats so what did they do let the rest of them die?
Icon of the seas is the largest cruise ship then wonder of the seas it has a million passengers on it but Anthem of the seas that ship actually sank and also costa Concordia sank by rock actually and what country are you watching this video from Am watching from Australia sometimes I watch from Bangladesh
