Xeno Reacts to "The Cost of Concordia" by Internet Historian 

Now he's only missing some sseth and the transformation will be complete.

Xeno never fails to surprise me at how much he's surprised by, and I love it

Im just really surprised at this point how many things Xeno seems unaware of when I watch these. It's like he has lived under a beard shaped rock for much of his life and just is emerging into the world for the first time.

So, when you analyze the reality of it all, the reason the captain was lying to the passengers was because he knew that his career was basically over. He was in denial, hoping to regain control of the situation and maybe salvage his career. If he could avoid a media outbreak, he might have been able to salvage his career, but he put the passengers at risk for his own selfishness.

Its crazy to think this all happened because that fucking bottle of champagne

I love the Xeno react videos, internet historian is so damn good. That man breathes humor and creativity

I'm glad my favorite truck crash react strummer is branching out to maritime disaster react strumming.

This react is legendary. I've watched it so many times since it's been uploaded. The combination of Internet Historian and Xenos just puts me into a comfort zone everytime I watch it.

This was not caused by the drive by salute- those are done all the time. And to the captain’s credit, his instructions to course correct would have avoided the crash. The crash was caused by an unfortunate series of cascading failures, most of which were preventable. The escalation into a full-blown disaster was solely due to the captain, his denial of the situation, freezing, refusing to take command, and hindering emergency operations. As to the cascading events, those would be hiring a steerer who couldn’t effectively communicate with officers, the officers being complacent about procedure, the parent company not maintaining the ship leading to the door failure and diesel fan failure, and not giving emergency procedures to the passengers immediately upon boarding (they were going to do it the day after the crash). Really more people should have been punished for this. But the captain failed so hard, it effectively took the heat off of the others.

How do you fail at breaking a glass bottle against the side of a fuck off giant metal ship? Those bottles explode when they fall off the kitchen counter but you can't throw it hard enough to break it on a ship? Also, they make prop glass champagne bottles specifically for these ship launch occasions. Sailors are a rather superstitious bunch.

I love this vids, keep it up. Btw, the Q&A vid has A LOT more interesting info, like how people didn't pressure him to go back in person cause they were afraid he'll jump into the rocks.

biggest joke of the original video? "more videos more often on the main channel" kek

1:46 woah woah woah woah woah woah woah.... stop right there!.... ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Is this actually the first time ever hearing or seeing the Champaign tradition for a ships maiden voyage?!.... That’s like the main and singular boat trope from anything movie... anything that has to do with boats!

33:27 Just a reminder that people actually died. And she says that.

The Q and A to this video is also really good.

[ 36:05 ] My guess is that that much allowance of deviation is in case you find dangerous things along your pre-approved route. For example, extremely high-speed winds, waves and generally storms that the Captain may deem as unsafe to "power through".

Loving the reaction content flowing in while EW is coming up, this shit is great :^)

am i going to watch this video being reacted to for the 20th time ? yes i am

This is prob my fav historian videos after 76 and no mans sky

One of the best IH videos

I want to point out a few things: - In Italy the number 13 is considered lucky. The unlucky number for us is 17. The number 13 is considered unlucky only when we are at the table. (The religious tradition in Italy makes itself felt and the 13th person at the table with Jesus during the last supper was Judas). - If you think your judicial system sucks, the Italian judicial system sucks even more. Life imprisonment is practically non-existent, it is given rarely and only in the most serious cases (eg organized crime, or particularly brutal murders). If you expected Schettino to have taken more years in prison, well you are in the wrong country. In Italy, penalties are shit. If it were up to me, Schettino would be on death row.

This whole thing was so corrupt. How can anyone book an italian cruise ship agency after this ? ? ?

this guy is funny, maybe he can make for a good Final Fantasy 14 strummer

been loving the reactions

Definitely watch the Q&A video!

Im honestly disappointed after that sick pump up of a intro. Black screen. He doesnt say "and so when it sank" 😂 im at the start of the vid btw. Just was expecting a titanic scenario Ah now that im more into it....definitely wish he said it LOL

Well no wonder jacob rusli bin can escape anyway. It's easy to escape in Indonesia as long as you stick to villages/rural area. Even FYI there's a rumor/conspiracy the beloved dictator from german isnt dead and spend his old days in Indonesia while no one asking or even know where he came from. Sound pretty legit. So it's easy to evade crimes in Indonesia as long as local media didn't know what you look like lol

Schettino, the ultimate mentor.....🤦‍♂️ XD

I know this was forever ago, but the best part about this video is the braindead person in chat saying VPN software is a scam. What a smooth brain take LMAO

Figures there'd be at least one moron who can crash a ship and kill 32 people for what amounts to a ding dong ditch. How he wasn't buried after everything came out is beyond me.

Imma gonna eyeball of how I'm not going to hit a rock Famous last words from schettino

My favourite react strummer

i am surprised how he can pull off such an insane ads on his Videos :D

Poggers! Content!

Now just add Ssethtzeentach's videos to complete the react baldman experience!

The 15 mile thing is to make allowances for bad weather conditions on the route.

Mans legendary beard

I really wished he talked more and wasn't so quit through most of the video

Regardless of the quality of the rest of his content (which i think is great) his adds are just hilarious.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO I was actually waiting on this one!! Hype to watch

I came across this video and i sorta expected him to have a Scottish accent, cause of the beard.

You have a glorious beard good sir

im so pissed at this video... people in the chat ... mama mia... ITS MAMMA MIA jesus christ.

jesus what is this with the subs, you are suposed to react not to do bullshit

Just in time for MSQ Roulette. Thanks Xeno.

Xenon binging internet historian is best

wooo, didn't expect he would actually watch it

46:07 LMAO XD am out✌️

Cruise liners aren't designed to survive the brutally dangerous conditions of the open ocean the way ocean liners were, and are, they're designed to wander up and down coasts at a leisurely pace. When they do cross oceans, this is called a 'repositioning cruise,' and it allows them to service other routes. They are permitted to detour around hazards like storms if they can, because the hulls are not made of as thick or as strong steel as dual-purpose and ocean liners, and because they are floating resorts, so they would take massive damage from things like rogue waves. Nor do cruise liners have full double hulls, usually just double-bottom hulls, just like _Titanic_ did -- and which helped neither ship. Today there are very few ocean liners, and most, if not all, are owned by Cunard (which operated the Olympic-class _Titanic_ 's main competitors, _Lusitania_ and _Mauretania_ ), which got bought by Carnival Cruiselines because the then-owner wanted to make a new ocean liner to replace the _Queen Elizabeth II_ when she was retired. Today the _Queen Mary II_ is the only ocean liner doing the same transatlantic route that _Titanic_ was doing when she sank. Like other ocean liners, _QM2_ is not a resort on the water, but a greyhound of the seas. But she's dual-purpose, so she also does cruises in her 'off' season.

i think 16 years is because it already was like 5 years after the incident. so it should had been like 21 years if he didnt stall (from what my dummy brain understands)

25:42 yea largest "cruise ship" disaster but that Korea ferry that capsized had 300 people that died.

It is said that the sail-by salute was a favour to the maitre d, whose sister lived on Giglio. Besides a possible distraction by civilians being on the bridge when they shouldn't have been, there was also the communication barrier and the non-existent adherence to policies and procedures, which is directly responsible for many maritime disasters, not just this one. Such as: - MV Sewal - MV Dona Paz and MV Vector - MV Estonia Another one where the captain abandoned ship was the _Oceanos_ . But this one has a happy ending because the entertainers led the evacuation.

What a fecking disgrace, and the these people in charge of the ship. People you rely on to keep you safe, and in the event of not being able to do so. To give you the truth of the situation, and to look to the safety of all passengers and staff swiftly and promptly. But no they lie consistently, and fail to take decisive action endangering life. Which is why I'm distrustful of most institutions, who are supposed to have your welfare at heart.

I cannot watch his videos. Every time he stops he says Woah woah woah. He sheer ignorance of the world is just astonishing in itself

You can find De Falcos phonecall with the captain here on youtube.

Half a billion dollar ship, court accepts 1 million in damages...

30:30 it took me forever to realize she's not a natural blond.

This guy's like the Michael Scott of ship captains.

Me being like hmm hasn’t he seen this one… No I just forgot I watched this on stream with him

Secret Channel 1. Storymode Expleened

truly all the big ones are falling to the deep reacts from xenosys vex

how have i not seen this video before, this internet historian dude is kinda funny

28:48 Item Condition: Used No shit

Its quite clear xeno never saw an ltt intro)

The chat is a nice bonus for this reaction video.

This is the most Italian story I've ever heard.

Get this man some Sseth

this is the one I've been waiting for lol

The man just flees

Damn I already know...

I've been waiting for this one

THIS IS THE ONE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

spicy

you can tell what kind of reaction this is gonna be 2 minutes in when he pause and rewinds to ask "hey is that a tradition?"

I think this "watch (generic guy 6) react to a video ABOUT a historical event" trend is overplayed as hell. You're literally adding nothing to the subject matter, I mean in my opinion it's not funny, and a total waste of bandwidth.

Weact mewr beawded bawd mwan! UwU

A bunch of rich drunk people crash their really expensive ship from being idiots. Lovely story.

the guy turning his cigarettes off in his keyboard was so gangster I like

This guy pays barely any attention to the video. He'd be a shitty parent.

Would have been better for the ship to hit full on, the engines would have survived and the ship would not have sunk

The captain should've gone to prison for 20 years for everyone dead. At least. Best to put him on artificial life support as long as possible keeping him in prison as long as physically possible with modern medicine.

i feel bad for the captain, he became a sacrificial lamb of the company and for the remaining crew.

This should be made into a movie lmao, Jim Carrie would play the captain quite well.

Nothing like spending half a billion dollars on a ship and hiring a guy who's never steered a ship to pilot it because he's cheap.
