Wrecked yachts, kayaking mishaps and container ships getting stuck under bridges… Check out our new compilation of boating blunders and watercraft fails!
The sailboat crush at 5:20 is terrible - People of such boats tend to take care of their boat with love and pour as much as they can spend into it, typically way more than they're worth. Insurances rarely cover a new boat of equal value/condition. Not to mention the sentimental loss.
The two women sitting at the table while the ship was tearing up everything in front of them. Good Lord, ladies. Have you no instinct for self preservation?
Most women in L.A. sure don't. They seem to love walking through a sketchy neighborhood on high heels and a minidress looking for an underground afterhours party...I don't get it.
Of all the video is the ladies is what bring u here for the comment Jesus 😂 I don’t have too $hit about the ladies If they want to die they got one so what??? 😂
I was just about to comment the same. Those pilot boats are there on purpose to prevent the launched ship from drifting away. You can see a thick rubber protection on the bow and a black cloud of smoke coming out of a boat exhaust on contact, forcing the ship in the opposite direction.
@@YouBazinga Yep, when there is no submersible dry dock available, this is the only other alternative. Admittedly it looks a little precarious but ships have been launched like that for 100’s of years.
2:35 - I'm interested to know - at what point do those two decide that it is not a good idea to remain seated where they are as a large vessel carves chunks out of the environment around them?
1:47 the yacht had some kind of control failure. The channel SuperYachtCaptain has an interview with the guy, he also said what exactly was the problem I just forgot. He selected the cheapest place to crash - if he hadn't done so, he'd have destroyed the (only) bridge that connects the two halves of Sint Maarten. Lots of things, definitely not an idiot!
:43 the really bad thing is that these ships that hit each other barges have warning systems and they’re not listening to them. They’re probably not at the helm/ wheel?? They’re probably sleeping. I mean, how would you just ignore these sounds and sirens for many minutes. You could probably run to the wheel or get on the microphone but as we saw the bridge crash this year where the barge hit the pole bridge and they collapsed killing people more often than we think.Scary
23:28 That is a beaver lodge and depending on where they are, they’ve either committed a felony or a misdemeanor. Unless they’re in Europe, in North America, if it’s in Canada they’ve committed a misdemeanor. In the United States, it varies by state. In my state, doing something like that is a felony. In other states it is a misdemeanor.
The @13:55 full video is called "Onervaren een sluis binnenvaren" - Going into a regular waterlock as is common in the Netherlands but with a captain and crew with minimal experience. You see the people just frantically standing around completely clueless.
he was use to racing games where the cars can go into the roughs around the track, . . just didn't realize that water and rocks aren't the same. Honest mistake. As for the ships, once we put in modern collision detection full self autodrive system with something better than cameras . . . flawless victory
13:56 they are in a boat lock one side has water higher and other other side has water that's lower. So they enter the canal. Doors shut and they pump water in or out depending on the direction. That boat looks like it's getting caught in the current of the lock. Could be wrong.
Makes the Baltimore bridge collapse look like a case of. . . Should have installed the support protectors. Are we going to ask the ships insurance company to replace the bumpers in front of the supports. No so are we going to add safety numbers in front of the supports? Hay it is an important bridge and it supports more than boat and vehicle traffic over the bridge? Those ships are in such bad shape it is a wonder any of them can get around without tugs.
Exactly what I was thinking- pollution for no reason. No one needs a frickin’ yacht or a boat unless you’re a commercial fisherman- and I’m including cruise ships in that category 😅
