Creepy Reason Nobody Talks About this Shipwreck Deadliest Than Titanic

I am going to tell you about a huge ship disaster, but inbetween I will randomly name other disaster and explain them in detail and after I have done so, you will indeed realize, that there was not the tiniest connection between them, so I will go with the original story for a bit until I repeat the process and hone my skills at side tracking for no effectual reason other than making this video substatually longer, than it needs to be to tell the story, that I said I would

I'm only flabbergasted they'd let a second in command go on a voyage in a ship he has ZERO training in. That's outstanding negligence.

I believe there were actually 3 crewman of the Artic that stayed at their post till the end as you said the captain who remarkably survived, but there was also a man he told to fire a cannon as a sort of SOS to any close by ships, he even told his captain “Tell them one man stayed at his post till the end!” or something to that effect. There was also a woman in the lower parts of the ship, tho she technically wasn’t crew she did a damn better job than most of the real crew so she has my acknowledgment, anyways she was using a manual hand pump trying to combat the rushing water coming in hoping to buy just a little more time so everyone else could escape, it’s said her hands were torn and bloody from cranking the hell out of the pump and when she was told they need to get the hell out of there she refused, absolute legends the both of them.

This would have been less disjointed if you first told the main story of the Moro Castle, and then told about other similar disasters. I needed a trail of bread crumbs to get thru this. Ive known of this story since childhood only because both of my grandparents would talk about it from time to time.

All that water and yet there’s still so many instances of these huge ships crashing into each other

A lot of my dad's friends' families were on the Dona Paz, on their way to Manila to find a better life. It was such a big tragedy for our small town :(

A ship this size could never carry 10000 people.

FYI the Arctic’s Captain James Luce didn’t want to be traveling full speed with sporadic visibility through the fog. He was required to by the politicians who gave the Collins Line their subsidies. I highly recommend PartTimeExplorer’s videos.

Correction: the Arctic was NOT caused by the crew, but the United States congress. TLDR: congress prohibited them from slowing down for any reason. The captain of the Arctic was a noble man who dealt with some traumatic decisions that night. He also dealt with one of the worst situations imaginable regarding human decency. There are many documentaries that cover this incident.

The person who lost the bet to jack for the titanic ticket in the movie was the luckiest guy ever 😂

The Dona Paz was slightly different because any ship that strikes an oil tanker (and thus is sprayed with oil, as it seems happened here with the Dona Paz) is gonig to burn to a crisp. In fact I believe the leaking oil was part of the reason so many people died as they jumped int othe water thinking that they could escape, only that the water was literally "on fire" because of the oil from the tanker. It's also believed (and supported by witness claims) that the Dona Paz was overloaded with too many people (i believe it was rated for about 1700 people, but had as many as 4300 or more. I would say that probably my biggest fear these days is not so much sinking of a cruise ship (or even a major collision, as technology has improved drastically in the past 70-80 years to a point where these incidents are very rare) but my bigger feature is being on a cruise ship with say 6,000 other people (strangers) or worse yet, a massive sickness that might sweep over a ship (which has happened in more recent times). With the design of modern liners, if you take into account, even the Costa Concordia sinking, I believe "only" 32 people died out of perhaps out of about 3200 total people, so that's 1%. Granted it's 1% too many (ie. should have been no deaths) but far far "better" than the double digit percentages we see in even sinkings that happend in the last century. So while being on a ship with 4000+ people (registered passengers) is a bit of a daunting number to be spending a week or more with, the days of massive ship wrecks is pretty much gone and the Costa Concordia was mere negligence of the company and was totally avoidable.

Dude I just wanted to hear about the ship in the title 😂

The actor Eric Braeden. Guy who plays as J. J. Astor IV in Cameron's Titanic, is Wilhelm Gustloff survivor.

Hell, this cruise was about as bad a fate as it could be. A real ticket straight to hell. It's hard to believe that something like this actually happened. Words cannot describe how sorry I am for all these people, they did not deserve such a fate, no one did. Here, something is clearly not clean, there are too many coincidences in this story, and unfortunately we are unlikely to ever know the truth. It's amazing how easily people can take other people's lives. By the way, I do not understand at all why this catastrophe did not become more famous than the Titanic. I understand that everyone is turned on by the fact that for many years no one understood why it sank, but this story is much more interesting! Sometimes people's attention is a very strange thing. 🤔

In a few decades, we might get to witness stories like this for Space ships. And 100 years after that, our future Generations will watch videos like these about those Space ships.

This video was about 15 minutes longer than it needed to be.

This was a little confusing to follow, too many shipwrecks in between the one you’re actually talking about.

It is unfortunate that at times we have to learn to build better and better ships through tragedy after tragedy.

About Captain Luce and the Artic, he actually was not the reason the ship held the full steam ahead approach. That was a mandate by the US government. Captain Luce was an incredibly honorable man along with the handful of his crew who did not mutiny

How are you just spitting our fully edited, script written, and narrated videos so fast. Can we appreciate the grind
