The person actually staring the ship along with his second hand should also be in prison

The last Titanic reference isn't here, when he throws the bell in the ocean, like Rose did the necklace (or whatever it was).

2:13 Guess he kinda looks like a Baldwin maybe.

Why I don't go on cruise ships.
-
I was in the Navy in my 20’s, and I loved going out to the O-8 level (top deck of my ship) at night and looking at the stars. You can see EVERYTHING when you’re running dark in the middle of the Pacific and 1000+ miles from the nearest light source. The ocean is really beautiful and I never understood why some people are afraid of it. Yeah, it’s dangerous, but so is driving a car.

Cats are considered good luck on ships.

Believe it or not, there was a worse captain than Schettino. Captain Joseph Clark abandoned SS Jeddah . On getting picked up, he reported the ship lost with heavy loss of life, only to see it being towed in a few days later.
Sad to say that if Schettino and his crew were swapped with Smith and his crew, Smith would have probably saved everyone on Costa Concordia , while everyone on Titanic would have probably died. One of the reasons so many people were saved on Costa Concordia was because she ran aground, buying as much time as was needed, apart from for anyone who was trapped. Titanic only took 2 hours, 45 minutes to sink because of the crew's efforts to keep it afloat as long as possible. Despite his engineering crew's efforts, Schettino would have sent people to the lifeboats too late.

The sail-by-salute was supposed to be a favour for the maitre d' , whose sister lived on the island. Obviously it backfired.
A navigator reacted to this video, and said that besides the speed, all the microadjustments to the course didn't help with control either. They should have taken on heading and stuck with it until they needed to do the swing, then they'd have avoided the collision. And just in case you're wondering about the speed too, a ship needs some speed to steer if it's using a rudder system: Water rushing past the rudder is what enables it to steer. So when Empress of Ireland was pulled over on the St. Laurence River, and the Storstadt came out of the jog, Empress of Ireland didn't have enough speed to steer out of the way because she needed to get up to speed first. Worse, Storstadt ended up breaching her right in the main boiler room, meaning that on top of the massive hole in the hull, she lost steam fast. Many passengers were trapped in the dark belowdecks, on an unfamiliar ship they didn't know how to navigate yet at the best of times. She went down in minutes., because there was too much water to even close the watertight doors.
Lying to customers to prevent panic is one thing, they also lied to the authorities.
Actually they didn't lie on Titanic , at least about the sinking (there were a few times before where both Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews (the main designer) were heard calling the ship 'unsinkable).' Once Andrews confirmed the damage, they started waking the passengers to try to get them to the lifeboats. But it took a long time to convince them their supposedly unsinkable ship was, in fact, sinking, and that it would be safer aboard the lifeboats. This was in large part because recently a lot of people drowned from getting thrown out of their lifeboats by choppy, stormy seas. People preferred to stay on the ship as long as possible. Lifeboats were seen as a way to ferry people to a waiting rescue ship, but in this case none were nearby. Closest was SS Californian , but because her radio operator had gone to bed, and the captain didn't want to wake him, they had no idea the lights they saw nearby was Titanic , and she was sinking. They thought it might be that ship, but didn't know she was in danger. She was also anchored for the night, surrounded by pack ice. The first ship to arrive, RMS Carpathia , would only arrive three full hours after Titanic 's final plunge, and only because she was running with every ounce of speed the ship could muster, permanently damaging her engines. Carpathia normally ran somewhere around 12 or 13 knots. Olympic-class like Titanic could do 23 knots. SS United States , which holds the speed record, could do almost 40 knots. Carpathia was doing 21 knots.

1:11 god my ears why did i have it turned up so high
-
2:59 Thank you for actually pausing and seeing the text saying that the video being shown isn't real.
So many reactors miss that text even when pausing to look at it or talk about it.
-
Has anyone requested her to watch the Q&A?
-
This story is so funny but also dangerous. It really shows that hiring of people need to be way more strict, especially when you're responsible for people's lives.
-
concordia the cruise ship, concorde the supersonic airliner, and concord the game. I am seeing a pattern here.
-
That man looked familiar because he's apparently the only man in Italy, that's why all the women want him.
-
Chat I might be cooked I'm going on a cruise soon
-
"Chat what do you do?" Idk I don't have cat ears 😂🤣
-
So, the reason for the salute is essentially a favor for the matre-de… His sister lived on the island and the captain wanted to get close enough so the two could wave to each other…
-
9:15 See, this is the reason for the 'minimum safe distance'. There is absolutely no reason that a cruise ship should be in an 'every second counts' situation.
-
Thanks you for doing another internet historian video. I love your reactions to them. ❤. Hopefully another one soon. 🙏
-
Hey nekrolina 8:12
-
50:27 yes Chicago is totally in Indonesia 🤣🤣
-
kinda got cut abruptly…
-
Ill forgive the cutting off the Bell joke at the end, you watched his ad which is better than 40% of the v-tubers who skip them. Not all is lost.
-
Wait she knows about the knot? O w o;
-
hears knot and says internet ruined me 😆
-
They mentioned in another video that the reason the captain was trying to get so close to shore was because one of his crew had family living in town, and he wanted to help the crewmember show off to his family.

This is why I will NEVER EVER go on a cruise ship. They spend literally billions of dollars on building and equipping these things, and then go super cheap on EVERYTHING else.
The food – lowest bidder, preferably from some 3rd world country (and often source of various parasites and food-borne diseases).
The staff and crew – hired from 3rd world countries, kept as borderline slaves, paid in peanuts, provided minimal training, and forced to work insane hours.
The quarters – cramped, filled with people to the point where the moment 1 person get the flu, the entire damn ship will have it the next day. Disease is insanely rampant on these ships.I think anyone who goes on these death traps is insane.
NOTE: The Captain being the last to abandon ship is not a rule, it's internationally recognized maritime law. Because of how boats are often far from shore for days on end, the captain of the ship is literal god. He is judge, jury, and executioner. This goes back to the earliest days of sailing ships. The captain has the authority to pretty much do anything, but because of that, they are also charged with a great deal of responsibility. One of them is ensuring EVERYONE gets off the ship. If the captain leaves before someone else, and they die as a result, the captain is criminally liable for the death.
Also an FYI, air traffic laws borrowed heavily from these laws and traditions, which makes the captain of an airplane have similar level of extreme authority and responsibility.
-
17:40 lying under a situation like this is never okay. You need to get people to the safe areas as fast as possible. Especially if you know the ship is sinking. Also, if they find out staff is lying, they wont trust staff anymore and the situation will get more chaotic.
-
He looks like "Alec Baldwin" frfr
-
Yeah i'm hungarian and we don't had any kind of scams like this before so we don't needed any laws for it…
-
More internet historian please
-
cruise ships are stupid.

1:00 earr@pe warning ⚠️

You cut out one of the best jokes, when he's dragging the bell at the end
-
He looks a bit like Michael Madsen and he’s an actor 🤔😊

2:03
Ok so for anyone who doesn’t understand, this is actually not unheard of. Sometimes the company will hire a qualified* captain but don’t have a position for them to fill at that moment, so they’ll stick them in another position to keep them on the payroll.*Not necessarily high quality

29:08 Captain being the last to leave is not a rule, but considered a duty and responsibility after a ship sinking in the 1800s, where the captain (for the first time in history) ordered women and children into the lifeboats. He and his men stood in formation on the deck as the boat sank, he went down with the ship. Ever since, it's been considered a captain's duty to ensure everyone else is off the ship before he leaves.
Sadly, most captains are selfish and will chose their life over their passengers (see Sewell where the captain ordered all passengers to their rooms while he escaped the ship. Hundreds of children died.)
When the Britannic sank after hitting a landmine, the captain was the last man off the ship. When he determined that the ship was too far gone to make it to shore to beach it, he pulled a long and hard blast of the ship's whistles to tell the remaining menin the boiler room to get topside to abandoned ship. He waited at the lifeboat for the last man to arrive before boarding himself. All of the deaths involved with Britannic's sinking were because the crew and passengers ignored his orders.
Needless to say, modern maritime law will persecute a captain if he does not do his best to try and save his passengers. He does not have to be the last one on the ship, but he shouldn't be abandoning ship while he can still coordinate evacuation. For example, let's say the ship is on fire and there are still people trapped below deck. The captain will not be expected to throw away his life for people that will almost surely perish.

So the 2010 "crash" was talked about after the disaster like saying "look at what they did before" except there really wasn't a 2010 crash. One of the side walkways got smashed while moored. It isn't uncommon because of the strong winds. That is why there is no real record of it. I say that the crash itself was at most 10% the captains fault. It was the companies fault for hiring cheap and inexperienced, and the helms fault for getting it wrong. With that being said, everything AFTER the crash was 100% his fault. Also yes the captain was head of security first, but he was going through captain training. The security role was just to get his foot in the door until a position opened. Everything that happened after the crash proves him a coward and he belongs in jail. He might have been railroaded there, but it is also something he deserved.

I’m addicted to watching Vtubers watch Internet Historian and Shoeonhead

2:33 He looks like Justin Trudeau but fatter.

Regarding the helmsman, Jacob, TECHNICALLY he doesn't need to have like, sailed a big ship before.
If you look at his job, it's basically "See this wheel thing? Turn it to the number the captain says."
Like with a crash course on terminology, you could know enough to be just fine sailing one of these things with like a day of training.
Under normal circumstances. In an emergency, every single second counts.
So if the captain were to just do the NORMAL cruise ship stuff, or even if IN an emergency he remained calm and gave clear orders, it wouldn't matter that Jacob wasn't experienced yet. What mattered most in this situation, was that he didn't speak the language that well. He did speak it, just poorly. So in a casual situation, he can make a mistake, and correct it without worry. Out on the OCEAN it's kinda hard to hit stuff, especially when you don't have any reason to even get remotely close to anything.
But Schettino decided to do the CLOSEST sail by salute ever! Precision is CRUCIAL in those situations, and they were being WAY too casual about it all. So because he didn't speak Italian that well, he made a small mistake turning the helm, which made them get way too close to shore, then the captain starts to PANIC and shout and throw out order after order REALLY quickly (And since most people probably don't speak Italian, the specific words Jacob would have been hearing, port and starboard in Italian, sound pretty similar to one another, it's not like saying right or left which sounds very different) and so because his grasp of the language is poor, and he doesn't have any experience working under pressure, he made another mistake.
The captain SHOULD have if not grabbed the helm HIMSELF, pulled Jacob off of it and put ANYONE else on it as soon as he realized they were heading for rocks.
So this whole situation IS the Captain's fault, he made SO many mistakes, and his mistakes CAUSED Jacob's mistakes and caused his mistakes to be compounded. As the Captain he calls ALL the shots, so if something is happening that puts his ship in danger at all, he NEEDS to get on top of it immediately, but he just didn't care. His performance reflects the outlook of the company as well, so now everyone knows they hire the bottom tier captains. It's like getting the surgeon that graduated at the bottom of the class. Cause he DID graduate, he IS officially a trained surgeon, but do you want that one doing your heart surgery?

6:50 …it’s ‘16 knots,’ isn’t it?

ngl the captain kinda looks like mell gibson
