![Rescuing The Costa Concordia's Five Thousand Passengers - Part 2 [4K] | Wonder](/img/n.gif)
That mayor who went on the ship while the captain fled is a badass.
Yeah, man is a hero.
Ego. Pride.
Thank goodness for that man!! I cannot believe that Captain!!
A real hero 👏
He doesn't even deserve the title of "Captain" considering him a captain is like considering monsters that killed their children "parents"
"Do you want to go home, Schettino? It's dark and you want to go home? Get on board!"
Commander De Falco handled that little weasel brilliantly. Well done, sir.
I can’t believe that coward still left!! When I first heard he was arrested I wondered why, and wow did he deserve to be arrested! He failed at every task!
I was about to say how impressed I was with the Coast Guard Commander.
THAT is real command -- you could hear it in his voice.
And the sailors and hospitality workers who took up the mantle and organized their own efforts to help people --
THAT is real leadership.
Mario Pellegrini the mayor, and Commander De Falco, seem like real leaders of quality and character...
Schettino = chicken of the sea...he's a spineless chickenshit little coward and I hope the people he killed haunt him the rest of his life...it's sad that they didn't charge him with murder. That chickenshit needed to face multiple murder charges. I hope Schettino never knows peace ever again. the water was shallower than the draft of his vessel, he should've stayed on course and not done a sail by. Schettino saved himself from the water, he couldn't save himself from the law.
@@Jack29151 Did you hear his mistress as she left the court after having to admit she was his mistress? She said she'd suffered one death and now another. People were outraged in light people actually died in this tragedy and she was busy playing a victim.
@@isabellind1292 He has a nickname here in the states....Chicken of the sea...
You mean to tell me someone climed aboard to help the passengers but the captain had already jumped ship? What a disgrace and a coward.
Yes the mayor of the little island town.
Yes! I think someone actually ordered him to get back on his ship!
IIRC the captain was being criminally charged for it. Not sure if it ever came to fruition though
That's why we call him chicken of the sea here in the states.
@@tracyanne64 ~Yep! The cost guard ordered the captain to get back on the ship but he didn't.
I worked and lived on this ship in 2006. I sometimes still can’t believe what happened. I was lucky not to be on that ship that tragic January night, but 32 people unfortunately can’t claim that. RIP all the victims, and RIP Concordia, I have really fond memories of you... 🙏🏼
Arrogance sunk her...a sail by is an act of arrogance...and ignorance...
@@Jack29151 ~PRECISELY!! And the scumbag Captain's lack of morals most definitely cost people their lives....
Wow! It must be overwhelming to someone who worked and lived aboard it. Was that the ship w/the I-95 corridor? You must have put in a few miles, lol! I'm glad you weren't aboard it too. I'm glad you have such good memories of your time on the ship. It can't be easy work though so I admire people who are employed in the cruise industry, not to mention being away from your loved ones for extended periods.🚞🌺
I predicted this disaster exactly on 8.5.2006. Tereza Maxova didnt broke the bottle in June 2006 I suppose :-)
@@ondrejdobrota7344 It looked pretty, but it was the typical liner, very poorly maintained (most companies don't follow the manufacturer's schedule due to cost). and Schittino had his experience working against him. most maritime disasters are caused by captains that get arrogant due to experience.
De Falco should have gotten an award for seamanship, rescue work, something. He was awesome!
what was initially thought ... but luckily there are videos and recordings that show exactly that the captain came down with the last lifeboat, that he had taken orders from the one who at that moment had the right to command (not de hawk who was 400km away and didn't even know where the ladder to climb was .... in fact this ladder had already been under water for some time ... and it was impossible to climb ...)
everything comes from the mistakes of the helmsman who, on the contrary, did the maneuvers ...
He puts all other captains to shame. What an exemplary example of seamanship 🤮🖕
You never know one's true character until they're faced with a matter of life and death. In the case of those who live on the island who rushed to lend a hand and help in any way they could, opening their homes to complete strangers in the name of humanity, they are the definition of hero. Selfless people are a rarity and it is only when you're faced with a situation where you put yourself last and your character is tested when you can look at your life and honestly say to yourself you made a difference. When you can say, "I never even knew their names" of people you saved, you are really something of an extreme rarity.
Wow. I remember when all this was on the news. Can't believe it's already been 10 years.
The years, days, mins, all have sped up so so much since my summers as a kid. I would have guessed 5 years tops. It is still just as horrible today as it was 10 years ago.
I agree! Time flies
No kidding....
Ditto. It still feels like it happened just a few months ago.
Again, real stories is true journalism. Informative and nothing else.
That’s not what they do. They license documentaries.
@@RuhrRedArmy didn't know that. The documentaries they license then
Nick please wake up. You've been in a coma. We're trying a new technology to try and contact you, we hope this message gets to you and that you can wake up soon
Exactly. Be informative not subjective. That’s why I don’t spend a penny on news
@@Bassmasterwitacaster I ain’t getting up for nothing but boats and hoes
I love it when the Coast guard was the captain out saying "OH IT'S DARK & YOU WANT TO GO HOME?! GET BACK ABOARD!!"
Props to the unsung heroes of this tragedy: The servers, cooks, housekeeping staff, and entertainers who stepped up when the crew sat back and did nothing.
Well not nothing. They did crash the ship.
Other than that, yes they were useless.
@@ko7577 Yes, let's give them a hand for that...at least they did it well 👏
That's what's called sarcasm before anyone gets upset.
This tragedy has many faces, that of the people who were unable to save themselves, those who survived, but will never forget, the rescuers, the inhabitants of the island , the power of the mayor and that of a captain who does not deserve to be called so
That phone call between the Italian coast guard and the captain 😂😂
Hello Tangowhiskie
The world would be a better place if more incompetent people got a dressing down. Now we tip tie around everyone's feelings
@@chris00nj 💯
How are you doing today 😊
@@richardtaylor1468 terrible
Followed the Costa Concordia from accident to salvage through all kinds of media and webcams.
I happened to see the wreck in real life when it was in the harbor for dismantling. Drove past it by chance with my family when we were on vacation.
I experienced it as very impressive, the ship was so big and the damage was really enormous. And the sense of the drama that has played out on this ship. Shed a tear
The Costa Concordia has created and ended great stories... Condolences to the bereaved families.
The Salvage Master, Capt Nick Sloane wasn't even recognized by the South African Govt for his extraordinary efforts as lead salvage master in successfully removing the ship. It was an enormous achievement that brought their country global recognition. As a result, the Mariners Society created a medal and awarded it to Capt Sloane as their highest honor for mariners.💓💜
Mad props to Mario Pellegrini, even knowing his life would be at risk, he boarded the ship regardless and because of him (and many others, including all the locals) people were saved 🙏❤
Also, listening to De Falco absolutely rim out Schettino was so satisfying to hear 👏
No one on that ship should've died that night in the way that they did.
May their souls be at rest, and may their loved ones find peace 💜
Absolutely agree. They should have all made it to safety in a much less chaotic manner. The captain should be charged with murder for each one of the lives lost that day. Absolute disregard for safety of the plotted, preplanned cruising course. Also total disregard for making adequate safety calls over the intercom as soon as the events unfolded and he knew. Not even mentioning the blatantly lying to the coastguard 😠🤦🏼♀️
@@SMA1mommy is that Ahole Captain even charged?,,
@@theprinceoftides6836yep, he's now serving a sixteen years sentence.
what beautiful people on that island too
A worse captain, Smith from titanic or this schettino?
Russel Rebello. The last missing victim and a crew member of Costa Concordia was from my community in Mumbai. He had a kid 💔
So sad. Such an unnecessary thing to happen. Condolences to his child and family.
❤
i remember vividly this tragedy, i was 7 years old and i'm from italy. it was really scary hearing about this and seeing the tragic images. I was so scared that from that moment on I developed a kind of "terror" of cruises
😢😢😢
Things like this scared me at a young age also, giving me a type of irrational fear.
Granted, it wasn't anything current at the time, but it was two young readers encyclopedias, one on The Titanic, the other on Pompeii. The diagrams, drawings, and photos shook me.
30 years later, and I have no desire to go out to sea, or travel anywhere near volcanoes.
Sympathy and prayers going out for the victims and their families. The incompetence of the captain and others running the ship is mind boggling. Thanks to the brave ones who rescued and helped people. Cruise ships scare me!
I love how the Italian coast guard gave it to that coward captain!!!
The ship's Captain is a coward ! God bless all those that helped to rescue passengers. My condolences to the family members whom lost a loved one. 🙏💔😭
what was initially thought ... but luckily there are videos and recordings that show exactly that the captain came down with the last lifeboat, that he had taken orders from the one who at that moment had the right to command (not de hawk who was 400km away and didn't even know where the ladder to climb was .... in fact this ladder had already been under water for some time ... and it was impossible to climb ...)

@@ludovicofara4899 That's why he's in prison right? Because he did such an exemplary job. Who are you trying to kid?! He says to De Falco that he's off the ship when there are people/passengers still on it. Maybe you should go back & listen 🙄
Schettino's name shall go down in history as the biggest coward ever.
Back in my day ,captain was the last one to leave a sinking ship
And never complain about having to help other ships in distress.
There is no better language on Earth to express anger and to curse with than Italian. The utter RAGE projected to Captain Coward, you can FEEL the impact of the words.
I didn't know 32 people died. So tragic!
Props to people of the island of Giolio, opening up their homes to complete strangers.
Why would the Captain want to do a Sail-by salute at night anyway? One of many bad decisions that moron of a captain made that trip
I love your documentaries, and it's great to see one on this incident. Thanks.
Lovely cat.
I heard on the news that the captain said he "fell" into the lifeboat. How shameful, no honor at all. He caused the death of 32 people and got only 16 years in prison!!!!!. Only when those 32 people walk out of their graves should he be allowed to walk out of prison.
i agree, he is responsible for all this tragedy
If he "fell" into a lifeboat what was his excuse for not going back on when ordered to by De Falco? He fell out as he tried boarding? What a pos, cowardly, murdering sob he is. Glad he's in prison where he belongs.
What a joke of a captain. An empty uniform.
I remember when this happened. Thank you for this documentary.
I was at the library and they gave me a free book about this. Have to read it.
crew: captain ship is tilting we need to evacuate.
captain: completely normal phenomenon.
that photoshop job at 5:45
So heartfelt and compelling for all involved including viewers.
I remember when you used to be able to see it on Google maps
12:29 She's like: I'm laughing but I wanna cry.
Modern Titanic...nothing changes, unable to use the boats, crowded, screaming people. Unbelievable.
Titanic was more tragic
I hope to watch the process of the salvage operation of this Concordia in the near future, Amen...even if it comes in several parts. 🙏🏻
czcams.com/video/Dm6afx5MgFc/video.html
So weird, I’m watching this while on a huge cruise ship sailing outa Miami. Amazing report, & so sad. God bless those amazing people from that island.
What a tragedy..........and such a beautiful ship. This whole nightmare was avoidable.
I have been on the Concordia, not when it crashed but before that. It’s crazy and sad to think that shortly after being on this ship and having a great vacation, that people just trying to enjoy life went through this horrible tragedy and many people lost their lives and also family and friends
I could not help but cry
Thanks 🙏 for posting, a very detailed documentary
I love this vid i really needed one more on it
Watch internet historian then 😆
@@Corei14 was gonna say this. Internet historian makes great documentaries
Ok I will tell them to sink other Concordia.
@@aitkhebbach-k5 k thx
May all the ones that died Rest In Peace. I’m still not sure what was the captains problem. Why didn’t he evacuate sooner
He was afraid of being responsible for panic. Losing his job. Not trained for this. Take your pic.
I hope he was punished , the Captain shouldn't have left until all passengers were safe !
his problem wasgross incompetency and cowardness
@@nevermind19700 He went to prison. I'm not sure for how long though.
@@rachelmartin3631 16 years
Literally everyone EXCEPT who is supposed to be in charge crushed it in this. The coast guard was incredible, from not believing that 'everything is fine!' to absolutely laying into that loser 'captain'
I loved it when the Coast Guard captain finally got hold of Schettino and started yelling at him . Telling him to go back to that ship climb on the rope ladder and start helping people . Schettino says it's dark . The Coast Guard tells him oh its dark . Did you want to go home now. Get back on the ship rite now that's an order. Of course Schettino punks out . But he also got 16 years in prison .
16 years isn’t near enough. He should have gotten 30 years minimum with no chance of parole.
Thing's I never knew about this ship. One thing that I happened to notice about 55 seconds into the video was a racecar.
Touching story.
Exceptional narrator. ✔💯
Truly heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all in that boat ❤❤❤
Prayers to those that last their lives. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank God they werent in deeper water.
It wouldn't have happened if they were in deeper water.
@Freejay Free No, this kind of accident, to crash to rock, can’t happen in deep water.
I was on another cruise ship when I heard about this. We had just passed this ship one a day before and after we heard about the tragedy..
OM Gosh 😳... that must have felt surreal, heartbreaking and just a plethora of emotions. Blessings 🕊 🙏💛
Amazing story, told very well
These real stories scare me. It was really emotional to watch this, that bit at the end where that mother says she identified her son who was dead, I shed a tear. Really sad indeed. Those who lost their loved ones, I am so sorry.
All the officers on board were a disgrace. When Schettino abandoned his post, absolutely no one took command in his absence and it was ironically the hospitality and entertainment staff who did the most help people. Who are these companies hiring to command their ships?
I did enough sailing in the NAVY - I never need to go on a "luxury" cruise. That said, how poorly trained are the staff when it comes to damage control and rescue? It appears it's an afterthought for these cruise lines.
Absolutely agree 👍🏻 and knowone regulates them all so knowone is held accountable. It is an industry that needs a big piece of humble pie.
May they Rest peacefully with the ocean waves 🌊 😔🙏🕊
This is all so sad and could have been avoided had the captain not tried to get close to the shore. The captain deserves his jail time for being such a coward and abandoning ship. He should have stayed on board until the last person got off including the dead.
Such a sad story. Maritime tragedies always fascinated me.
Side note: Why does that photo of the couple they keep showing look photoshopped?
Mayor is a hero ! God bless him
I’m still stunned this could happen in modern times.
Any ship can sink no matter how amazing and futuristic it is.
We are humans, modern times or not tragedies will always happen
@@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY with stupidity it can happen at any time
Why? Plans still crash it’s not surprising at all
The captain not helping and looking out for himself reminds me of the Sewol Ferry tragedy ( Rotten Mango made a really good video about it.) When things got bad, the captain took a rescue boat with his crew and saved himself, leaving the kids behind. It was disgusting and that reminds me of this captain. Pathetic.
One day we have a movie made!
13:15 - The Bilge Pumps didn’t “fail” per se, they required at least 3 engines working to use, as the engine room had flooded and all 6 engines were out of commission the pumps were unusable.
I stand to be corrected but I thought I heard 26 life boats on a ship with over 800 people. Is that the standard?
I salute the Mayor and all who helped save lives
My condolence to the families of all who passed on.
Well, that may very well be enough. How many people fit in a lifeboat, nowadays?
Modern lifeboats can hold upwards of 100 people. The minimum requirement for the total lifeboat capacity of a ship is 125% of the ship’s maximum capacity of passengers and crew.
I was on that ship that night it was extremely scary so much yelling and pushing
Sorry to hear about that wow really still cant believe this really happened so lost for words so many love ones gone so sad rest easy to all the ones who didnt make it out
Godbless you and everyone there that night🙏🏽
Selfish p o shytes
I've lived my honeymoon in there, in 2009, one year before it sunked. I have the memories of my life It really breaks my heart!
Good on DeFalco for calling the captain on his cowardice
Wow, I've never heard of this
Wow that happened on my birthday!!
Wow no more shivery! 🥺 😩 😭 😱
Crazy this happened on Friday the 13th and almost 100 years to the day of titanic and I still luv cruises
Titanic was on April 1912.
Thank you for this informative and non-sensational telling of the disaster. I once sailed on a COSTA ship (SS Flavia), and thus was quite curious about the fate of the Concordia. I can't believe I'm the only one stunned by the gross irony & insensitivity of an advert for a cruise line being played/inserted in this doc and a visual advert for Virgin Voyages appearing to the top right of the screen the entire time.. Wow. And, not in a good way. Have to wonder what the marketing department's goal was in so doing....
I can’t get over how self centered and cowardly the captain was. Dude you’re a few hundred meters away from the shore. Just stay on the ship. It’s not like he was on the titanic where once the ship sank you froze to death in minutes.
I have thought quite a bit about this incident. I am not excusing his behavior. But I believe he was in total shock. I can’t even imagine how I would feel if through stupidity I wrecked a 500,000 ton ship.
@@tommym321 He shouldn't've been a captain then. Every single captain is fully aware that sinking is a possibility & should be able to handle the situation should it arise.
@@munkustrap2 well one never truly knows how they will react in a shocking situation until they are actually in the situation
"Vada a bordo, cazzo!" A line that should never be uttered to any Captain or man in a position of authority. You're the captain, you have the ultimate responsibility and accountability for each and every soul on that vessel. When you realised it was inevitable you should have ordered the ship to be abandoned. In fact you should have got people to the boats as a precautionary measure first, then ordered them launched as the situation deteriorated. But no, you ran around with your hair on fire for 20 minutes, got into a panic and ran away. You couldn't even stay in uniform, your actions, rather lack of, certainly showed your unworthiness of it.
It's sad that the Captain of all people could have gone down as someone who did everything he could and have to be practically dragged off his ship after hours of searching and helping people trapped. But again, no. History will forever record he was the exact opposite, with a legacy of 32 dead people and their families forever shattered. And countless PTSD and trauma among the thousands of survivors. We can only thank providence that the Concordia sank the way it did, and that close to shore. If it had gone the other way how many more people would have been killed. The worst thing is how preventable it all was at so many steps and missed opportunities.
I am watching information in the wrong orders as they have occurred. Thanks to the survivors for giving us their films and accounts. Because of this I will keep my feet on dry land and remember those who are interred below. My many thanks to the people who came together to help the people and welcome them into their home and provide safety. There is a place reserved for you at the table of our maker above.
12:00 i can relate to him...hes on vacation sitting in his room on his laptop.
He's not on vacation.
He's at work. But it's a good thing you were paying attention.
I pray for you that someday you find a way to set the laptop down and touch grass with the fervency of your childhood. We all need more of that and less work and responsibilities so often.
They wanted the ship scuttled in deep water so they didn't have to admit the stupidity of going so close to the island.
This makes me cry. This should never happen in this time we live. Stop trusting those that build these ships, sky scrapers, planes and vehicles to make them able to withstand humanities idiots. No one is coming save yourself that is the best advice I can give any one reading this.
Spare me the paranoia. You can't bubble wrap yourself against the world.
@@sheiladawg1664 exactly.
ehm... have you ever heard of Captain Chesley Sullenberger that landed A PLANE in the Hudson River and managed to save EVERYONE? There aren't ONLY idiots around, believe me.
You sound bitter
That was Friday the 13th that Fateful day
Accidents happen every days.
5:43 why is that picture photoshopped lol
18:16 Such Beautiful young couple😞
20:40 I had and I have many opportunities to go on a Cruise but, I don't feel safe, nor comfortable in a Ship on the water with thousands of people, and as this gentleman saying in a caos accident no trained people to help, and the "Uniform People Capitan etc Disappeared 🙄
No Thank you... RIP 🙏 the innocent people who died because of the Capitan etc Mistakes🙄
Me neither, I never had the desire to go on a cruise ship.
It's the captains job to go down with the ship.
No thats dumb
@@flyguyry1 ok
The ship didn’t go down. A captain job isn’t to sink his ship. He made too many errors but his presence or absence on board after the accident would have changed nothing. Apparently, he didn’t know what to do.
@@pinktights747 Unless he’s the last one off and it’s his job to hurry to the aid of other ships that are in distress.
@@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY agreed.
“He made a mistake and should fess up” what a sweet old lady fr
Yall couldn't tell the deputy of the island who had white stuff on the side of his mouth during the interview? Lol
Brah, he just ate some bomb Italian food. Good for him.
Beegee you would know
Why wouldn't the captain tell them it was only a blackout. So crazy
The modern titanic 😳 titanic happened in 1912
Why am I feeling that I'm looking at commercial for that cruise?😂
I am so glad I didn’t watch videos before I went on a 3 day cruise about 8 years ago, not sure I will get in one again. I almost drowned as a child so it took years for my husband to convince me to try a short cruise
When captain is just so irresponsible and just beyond nonsensical to leave the ship.
The captain as I remember the story for lack of a better way of saying it was " showing off " for a woman he brought up to the bridge...if he was thinking with his big head 38 people would still be alive...what I learned watching this was the ship was on a collision course if the captain hadn't tried a " Hail Mary " manuver the ship would have just ran a ground...
This is good but internet historian will always be king!
Why marine ships do not have a more reliable safety system
"Torni a bordo cazzo!"
I remember, at news, 10 years ago one of the barman working in Giglio saying in an interview "people start coming here to see this... (Pointing the ship tilted) 😂 absurd
I can’t believe the captain was so reckless with so many human lives! Does anyone know where the captain is now? May the victims and the Costa Concordia RIP. ❤️❤️
In 2015 he was sentenced to 16 years in prison and won't get out until 2031.
@@MLMLW Thank you I was wondering how this turned out. I think 16 years is too good for the coward captain.
HE'S STILL IN PRISON WHERE HE BELONGS.
Its not the captain’s fault. In this video they say he was giving orders that his officers were ignoring because they were Indonesia and cant even speak Italian. None of this was his fault
5:46 … okay that picture was photoshopped
Was looking for this comment. Why the heck did they include that, kinda creepy. Blatant photoshop.
@@tkk85 I'm too far down in the comments to go back...are you talking about the silhouettes of the people trapped in that tunnel thingy, flailing around as they were being pulled up? It was totally creepy!!!!!!

Crazy how this happened almost exactly 100 years after the titanic sunk 🤔 rip to the lives lost what a tragedy😔
It was planned to bring back sympathy to the titanic ! Lol
Hmm, well, at least the next ship disaster is not due till 2112
Not really. Do you realize how many ships have sunk between 1912 and now? A LOT. There is no weird connection between these two cases

@@Julie.Canada yeah I don’t see any similarities or connections at all
Who is here coming from mkurugenzi 😊
So much for the captain going down with his ship. Incompetent, arrogant and a coward. The trifecta
The Captain is a disgrace. I’m glad he’s in jail
