The Cost of Concordia by Internet Historian | First Chicago Reacts 

Because the crew kept the evacuation on hold so long and they had just a few life boats on use, people had to wait and started to panic. Some decided to jump and try to swim instead but bc the ship was still listing it caused vortexes in the water and took people who didn't have lifejackets underwater. Many died also still inside the ship, at least 10 to 12 people got stuck in elevators and drowned there when they lost the electrics. Saddest for me was the 5 year old girl and her father who were told that there was no room in the lifeboat and that they had to go to other boat in different area. Ship was already listing badly and when they left to find the other lifeboat, they fell into the corridor and drowned.

I know everyone talks about Gregorio de Falco, the Deputy Mayor of Giglio, the poor crew member that died saving passengers, and that brave engineer trying to keep the fan from causing a fire, how all of them were heroes. They were and are still heroes, but there's one person that everyone always forgets in this whole situation: that woman who knew something was up and called her daughter back on the mainland. If she hadn't done that, there would be a lot more dead people in this story. Let's give this woman a W in chat, shall we?

The part where they mention how the parent company who owned the cruise ship only paid passengers the bare minimum required by law shows you how much they gave a shit about their customers, their tragedy and their safety.

When they said they weren't enough lifeboats, they meant the port side lifeboats were effectively made unusable due to the ships starboard list (tilt)

You should try and react to "Randy Buys a Bookshelf off of Gumtree" It's a 20 minute video, I think it would be fun!

For the most part, you're on point, but they HAD to get that ship out of there. Would YOU want that shit on YOUR beach?

The man gets his facts straight and he has a sense of humour, there're worse ways to learn things.

44:30 Well, 16 years and 1 month is more than enough for someone of his age. He is 60 now, and he still has to spend 10 years in prison. So he will be a 70 y.o. May sounds cruel, but his live is already past behind. He is old, and I don't think in a good health either (prison, party life style and obese before that as well).

1:46 After she said that, I giggled way too loudly.... the foreshadowing

Scattino was actually a competent enough captain, with all the proper certifications (it's apparently common for those with certification and experience to take on other positions while they wait for captaincies to open up), but he crumbled under crisis. Also, every modern ship would have equipment for measuring depth and distance, but they had to turn those off for the sail-by salute, or they'd also be flagged for performing an illegal move. Finally, the sail-by salute is said to have been a favour for the maitre d (why he was on the bridge), as his sister lived on the island. This was supposed to be a cool favour for them. The results were far less cool. Certainly the bulk of the blame lies with the captain, but all his bridge crew shares some responsibility as well, for not following proper procedures and everything. Crew elsewhere also had some responsibility. Like those who were supposed to sweep the ship for survivors in the case of an evacuation. Many lessons were learned, and changes made, because of the _Titanic_ , and a few of those helped to reduce the death toll on the _Costa Concordia_ . But when hubris and pride walk, mistakes will often happen. Costly mistakes. That said, _Costa Concordia_ is far from the worst maritime disaster of the last 50 or so years. Look up the collision between the Dona Paz and the Vector. The Paz was a converted ferry that had been well overloaded. She was sailing without certification, and most of her crew was partying drunk. The Vector was an oil tanker, again without certification, and with a single unqualified intern at the helm.

I love how I got a carnival cruise ad for this lol great video guys

There were enough lifeboats for everyone, it's just that by the time evacuation was ordered the ship was tilted so much that some were unusable because they were at too much of an angle to be lowered into the water. It's really lucky they were close to shore.

They better find and apprehend the helmsman who DOESN'T speak *ENGLISH.* He's also accountable for the whole trouble to happen in the first place.

My anxiety would have flared up immediately as soon as everything started to hit I would have started telling people that we're all going to die

Absolutely love this reactor! I would love to see more of her. 💜🌸

2:31 "collaborate and LISTEN"

I would recommend stupendium music if you haven't already.

RagnarRox "A love Letter to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines" & "A (late) love letter to Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption"

Sonia is one of my favorite members of Chicago reacts along with Kit.

You guys should react to “why you should watch/read berserk” by super eyepatch wolf.

In defense of the captain, he had captain qualifications before being promoted and the accidents were not that bad and were dramatized for effect (though they did happen). He did do the sail-by correctly and the correction to miss the rocks correctly and had others not failed the crash wouldn’t have happened. The crash was a failure on multiple layers. Carnival had not maintained the ship leading to one the water-tight door failing, evacuation training for passengers was to-be done the day after the crash instead of before sailing, the third officer was not relaying locations and even spoke over the captain, et cetera. However, once it turned into an emergency, the captain was just as bad at that as he sounded. He took all the blame, and he did fail a lot, but there should have been judgements against multiple people including Carnival. Cruise sailing is safe. My parents did them multiple times in later life before my dad passed away. This was a fluke of cascading failures. That can happen in any walk of life, though this one was exceptionally spectacular, and sad.

Half life full consequences. A great epic if you ask me

You guys should react to some JonTron videos. I recommend his video about Dark Dungeon. (Edit: I see there’s a reaction of it already) LoL… so I guess I’m just asking for more JonTron. His video about weird workout videos is also good.

SuperEyePatchWolf's "What the Internet Did to Undertale" would make a hilarious reaction video

I’ve only been to Chicago once in my life Y’all’s airport is way too damn big And they canceled our flight Did stay in the embassy suites though So I can’t complain too much

Please i want u guys to react to zanny i love you all

the bikelock fugitive of berkely from internet historian....... plz......... pretty plz

I was going to say, don't let this video spook you from sailing. but cause of the coof, yeah that's fair. I was gonna say before that this is one of the largest naval catastrophes to ever happen.

You missed the reason why, there weren't enough lifeboats.

Please react to Bricky "Frostpunk Review Frostbite. Steam. The British." It would by very nice

I really wish you spoke more and provided commentary during this video "reactios" like this are basicaly freebooting content without adding anything transformative

Just fyi these guys were a serious bunch of clowns. Don't go on cheap cruises. There's a reason why they cheap XD Also there's been cruise problems since the titanic. But NOTHING this bad.

Can Sonia react to oversimplified amercian civil war part 1 and 2

Could you react to Vlad The Impaler fron Biographics ?

The best Sovietwomble video, watch Random Arma Bullshittery (part 9) s'il vous plait.

can you guys react to more scp its a content mine

You should react to Recreyo

Not to be rude....but she's probably one of the most passive reactor to an internet historian video. Pls get someone else

Person A: "Why does the USA have such high prison numbers?" Person B: "Because other countries legal systems are a fucking joke. Places like Japan refuse to label anything a crime intentionally, and places like EU give 1-4 year slaps on the wrist" Person C-Z "I'm not listening!!! LALALALA!!!!"

Oh oof

you should watch "the funniest Minecraft video ever" by tommyinnit

noice

If your mentality is "I'm not going on a cruise ship, because something can happen" then you shouldn't get into a car because "something can happen" when driving. Or hell, don't even go outside, because "something can happen". such a dumb way to think.

You guys should watch some funny moments from Judge Rinder (the show featured in the edit abotu lawsuits). It can get hilarious.
