Thanks for the openness to show a failure as well. The video quality doesn't matter, more important is to show what challenges and surprises a rescue operation can have.
The Braer was doomed from the minute it went aground. I'm a Shetlander and can tell you that there's no way anybody would have salvaged her in January. BTW, it's not "The Shetlands", it's just Shetland.
Mind reading things about it just no Lang after it happened & kinda sounded like she wis doomed a4 she sailed. If I mind right it wis her last run a4 going for scrap.
I politely disagree This failed salvage, and the Sea Empress show SMIT TAK to be almost incompetent. Unsure why any government would hire them, likely due to lack of competition. As the narrator said, these companies must be fully prepped year round to salvage. But wrecks such as these are quite rare. Just my opinion tho, source material i base my opinion on coming from RU-vid, so i could very well be wrong.
@@colesteven1123 trust me, Smit and Mammoet are probably the best two companies in the world at what they do. Yeah they might have failed here but look at the odds they were up against, the seas round Shetland and Orkney and the north of Scotland are some of the worst in the world in January. Plus other local efforts to get a tow on her before she even ran aground failed due to the prevailing conditions, the captain and a few crew members were put back on that ship to try and get her undertow before she grounded and had to be lifted off again due to it being too dangerous.
I remember this happening clearly. We got a new roof on our house from it. The oil was heavy in the air for day's after she broke up. As soon as she was near the shore & they couldn't tow her clear only 1 thing was ever going to happen. It wouldn't matter what salvage company was involved.
the video story itself is great ans Smit Tak had a difficult task to do but the weather would not let them. Its a shame that the video quality is bad with a lot of lines true the picture and poor sound.
olá amigos ótima noite de segunda feira 07 /12 /20 e um prazer de compartilhar estes vídeos mostrando o trabalho de vocês no resgate desse navio naufragado ainda mais nessas condições climáticas do mares isso amigos que chamamos de trabalho em equipe parabéns pelas imagens 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏direto de caraguatatuba litoral norte de São Paulo Brasil parabéns
Considering that it was shot in that part of the world, most likely shot in PAL. The resolution and frame rate are different than what we use here in the US. They probably did not have a good non-linear editing system for converting the formats. There is terrible herringbone distortion, I wouldn't be surprised that they simply took a video camera (NTSC) and pointed it at a TV monitor, that would explain the miss-match. Really too bad, I'm sure somebody could have fixed it before uploading to youtube.
@@emptech also bear in mind it was filmed in 1993 well before the advent of digital technology and was most likely recorded onto vhs which will explain the white line dissipation if its been recorded off a t.v onto a tape.
This thing happen because owner of oiltanker was cheap pure simple.this a book about this stupid thing.the tanker cut corner,not well maintains,big storm,problems with water in fuel,argue cost for tug,the brits slack off yup,the coats guard a joke,then the ship show up door step and wreck everything.they still talk about here calgary alberta in oilfield and office in alberta pure negligence all finger pointing sad part.the north sea is tough and rough and respect if not you pay price period.don't forget canadian drill for oil in britain so word pass around fast.nice video thanks😮
i've seen the channel that has the original video, just some advise put a disclaimer in the description crediting the original source okay im not mad just giving very helpful advise
@@couttsw reah i know that technology, but just wondering if anyone got a solution to refresh it with AI and remove interlacing stripes :D Good day to you.
Right oh mate, just what would you have done in that weather apart from what they did? Prepare for a break in the weather that never came, enlighten us all with your wisdom as to just how you would have got shit sorted? Dickhead!
No such place as "the Shetlands" . It's Shetland. No 's'. As in The Shetland Islands. Same applies to Orkney. It doesn't have an 's' either. And before a brit accuses me of semantics, imagine referring to the London boroughs as "the Londons". 'oh, the weather's bad in the Londons today'.
To me it seems inexcusable for any vessel, large or small, to set off on a voyage without all necessary equipment in full working order. This disaster should never have happened
Great when you can get paid for not actually doing anything! Mother Nature cleaned up the man made mess,the waves dispersed and broke down the oil and the wreck still there!
Andrew Wilson Ik vermoed dat ze het graag anders hadden gezien. (Although I don't know any of the memebers of this salvage crew, I'm quite confident they had liked another outcome)
Misleading title! Save your time there is no salvage attempt shown. This is a super bad copy of a super bad program. Nothing but fluff and b-roll where nothing was accomplished.
And who is the biggest loser? Yep!!! U guessed,wildlife as always do to our greed!!! Karma's gone be a b#&th for man. Our day to pay will come one day.
It's from 1993. Of course it's got bad quality. It would have been taped, because, back then the record button wouldn't be invented. (apart from recording the TV tape.) so it's not bad at all.
