This ship sank so violently and it was a huge ship, you have to wonder what the crew were thinking as the ship was imploding and being torn apart violently
Larger than Titanic, and four times as heavy. She remains the largest British ship ever to have sunk. They should have never taken her into Typhoon Orchid…
Take into account how terrifying it must have been for those on board. The estimated time elapsed from the collapse of the No. 1 hatch cover to the sinking of the stern was believed to have been around two minutes.
@@Symphinitystug_III Yeah. Something similar happened to Edmund Fitzgerald: both lifeboats were found with damage indicating they were torn from the deck. In fact, one of the two lifeboats (which had a steel hull IIRC) was found torn entirely in half. Derbyshire went through even worse conditions than Fitzgerald: it’s a testament to good engineering that they even found a lifeboat at all
In the night of September 8, 1980 DMVW Shire sink during a massive storm, the massive storm caused of the covers folk the oil tanks to break apart, causing the shift to ending up

A ship at sea does not normally have the deck lights on at night - only navigation lights which are white pinpoints at fore , aft , and mast head with red port and green starboard . Having the deck lights on as shown in the simulation is never done at sea as it would ruin the watchkeeper's night vision.
Water is insanely heavy, and has a shit ton of force behind it. The kinds of waves generated by a hurricane are insane, imagine what a 90 ft wave crashing into the boat deck would be like.
No, the ventilator covers In the bow were not built to stand up to the beating in the storm, and broke off. The bow flooded slowly over a matter of hours, until it reached a tipping point where the number 1 hatch cover collapsed from the water pressure on top. It doesn't matter how well you seal the hatches when they are taking much more pressure than they ever were supposed to.
These tankers store oil or iron ore or grain etc in compartments below deck. The cover plates which way 7 - 20 tons each our put in place with cranes and then clamped down with huge g clamps. But monster waves knock enough of these off to let water in.
Bulk carriers are quick to sink because of the large compartments as shown in the video its just like filling a bottle in the bath with water. Would have sunk in seconds
There is a typhoon and the water is cold. You think you can swim in that weather?? It will be better if you wear those lifejackets and ride on a lifeboat
