I'm both fascinated and horrified by just how fast ships that large can sink.
It is really scary to see how fast she went
Agreed
the 350.000 tons load of iron ore probably had something to do with it 😉
@iz_no_good the iron ore was really innocent in this case 🙂
This is why tanker ships like these have the quick release, gravity dropped life raft at the rear (you can see the slot for it). If a tanker is going down… you’re probably not going to have enough time to lower a conventional life boat.
In WWII submarine movies, men on the attacking sub can hear the steel of sinking ship groaning an snapping. This video made me realize those sound effects were pretty accurate.
It is indeed
I know a guy who'd been a sonarman on submarines & one of the few references that he could make to his old job was that he'd heard a ship sinking & it bothered him for years what he heard.
@@doughesson oh dear, doesn't sound nice at all
@@rjonsenIt's NOT! Retired Navy ASW crewman
@@VVtos174 Are you sure about that?Just because you can't hear noises on your bass boat fish finder,doesn't mean that sonar operators in a submarine can't.
incredible how quick it happens. and the speed it is diving down with! frightening.
It's really scary how quick she went down
With all that iron ore on her it's no wonder.
Oh yes! Especially when you consider how slowly it was going before. It takes a while for the ship to be swamped like that. Then suddenly, within 30 seconds, it's gone. Crazy.
Seeing the aftermath of the ship sinking makes you realize how terrifying it must’ve been to hang onto the Titanic til the end
For sure
Love how the radar unit was left on,spinning till the end.
They kept as much as they could running to burn as much fuel as possible
And the lights are burning on deck too 😳
@@DrDrehstrom they left as much as possible of the equipment on to burn as much fuel as possible
@@rjonsen They couldn't have lightered the fuel off the ship or gotten as much usable equipment off first?
@doughesson the salvage company did just what you said, really hard to get out everything
What a waste of Iron Ore. Imagine all thay energy spent getting it out of the ground with the hope of of turning it into quality steel
It's a shame indeed
They offloaded about 2/3 of it but still quite a bit went down with the ship.
@@MrBruinman86 indeed
More like: What a waste of ship. One human error and many thousands of hard labor hours got lost.
@@heyyo162Some things are unavoidable.
Respect with the horn at the end
It was well rigged by the salvage crew for a last salute
The sounds it makes while going down i allways asked myself from watching "das Boot" if you really heard these metal creaking sounds under water. But you can even hear it above water so it must be really loud on a hydrophone. Also the way it just speeds down into the ocean at around 1:25 is crazy imagine you are still on the ship and you think "yeah at this rate we got another 2 minutes before it sinks" but then suddenly it speeds up and almost looks like the ship just entered a hyperspace portal and disappears in seconds.
Working on ships myself, it's really scary to see how fast it goes down.
Whenever I play "Aces of the Deep" I love to get the notification: "I hear the death rattle of a sinking ship!" For 1990's PC game, the metal creaking sound effect is really good - just as you said, you can hear it while your U-Boat is underwater near a cargo ship wreck.
" I swear my boat was parked right here!"
Haha 😂
"Hold on tight, Rose! When I tell you, take a deep breath!"
I trust you!
"She's made of iron sir, I assure you she can!"
Rose: get off my big door!
There's no one on the ship, it's been scuttled duh.
@capndallas4918 everyone was accouted for luckily
this might sound weird but it was oddly emotional watching it go down. I felt like watching a loved one leave even though I have never heard of this ship before
It was really sad seeing her disappear into the ocean
Facts vato 😊❤😢😢😢
@@rjonsenincredible !! sunk in one minute 😮😮😮😮😮
@pimuce it's really scary how quickly she went
Same feelings, but didn't comment above not to be weird. But here I am..
Cool how the funnel ripped loose and popped up to the surface
It was quite supprising seeing it float to the surface again
Respect given to a fine ship😢
Indeed
Thats so cool that a float switch was added to the horn for the scuttle to say goodbye. Humans can be pretty cool sometimes :)
For sure 🙂
Amazing. Literally no matter how big and strong we make them, the ocean will win every time.
That is certain
Ngl its sad to see all that iron ore go down, that's alot of useful material gone to waste
It is for sure
Maybe. Maybe it can be recovered later.
@wendigo53 think it's gone for good, not worth recovering
@@wendigo53nah its iron coming into contact with salty seawater its all fucked
@d4ntheman it is indeed
Imagine being some kind of fish deep in that water and this thing coming down at full speed
crazy to think something that huge is down in the dark abyss now. Unsettling
It's someting to think about for sure
The way the back goes in at the end is out of a movie.
It certainly does
Keeping the oceans clean I see 👍👍👍 putrid is doing the same to his navy
By God, you tell em! You and your wooden car!
an underwater view would have been INSANE
It certainly would be
Why does that give me horrible anxiety? I’m physically recoiling at it.
It is really scary to watch for sure
Radar still turning, lights on, generators still running. Didn't pump the fuel off?
They pumped out as much as they managed. They let everything run to burn as much fuel as possible
Also lifeboat is attached, probably a big oil spill happened after the sink
@danutailincai7383 we didn't see any oil spill after she went down
“The fish love it, it’s good for their tummy” -King Mudbeard
Would Love the video of underwater view of sinking into big blue.
Absolutely
And the funnel is broken by the sinking, in a similar way to the ones in Titanic. In fact in this one it seems the main force breaking the funnel is the speed at which is rushed into the water but the effect is the same.
I guess the sinking ship sound effects in movies were pretty accurate.
They sure are
Okay that was cool and fast.
She went really fast indeed
To give context, this ship (when fully loaded) is 3x the size of a Nimitz Carrier and 6x the size of the Titanic.
It's really massive indeed
Weight, not size. There’s a diff, I.e. dimensions matter!
@@edwarddebone402 indeed
@@adonislimes6156 using the term size, doesn’t give the context he mentioned. Could be interpreted as length, width, anything.
@@edwarddebone402 Weight (or rather mass) is a measure of size.
We as humans just have a phycological tendency towards the concept of visual size bias, better known as physical dimensions.
Amazing power unleashed by water to shear that smoke stack right off... Imagine if you waited until the end on the stern to jump off - you might not make it with all that debris and churning water.
Wouldn't be anywhere near that in the water 😂
Oh you would be sucked in with that mass pulling all the water down with it, almost delta p style minus the crushing
Hello there i am engine cadet and hopefully a furure merchant marine mechanic.As far as i know the bulck carriers(the type of ship that transfers like iron,coal,dirt,sand...) are very dangerous ships.They go down like the other ones until one of their cargo holds starts filling with water(yes they are kind of waterproof the hatch covers but not fully) and as they fill with water the sinking event is sped up.Each one that fills with water it increases the speed of sinking, its like the snowball efect on the stock market strats from almost unnoticeable and eventually it takes a matter of seconds as shown to the video.
If i have made a mistake please correct me bcs i am new to the world of maritime
What I have heard as well
Yep you are absolutely right. I’m doing mechanical engineering so we’re in similar fields. This is precisely what happened with the Titanic and how most ships with hull compartments go down. Compartments flood into each other one by one until the weight of the water is too much and eventually drags the rest of the hull down with it. Pretty cool but terrifying to see physics in action like this
Fascinating insight into how the Titanic would have sank. The film was surprisingly realistic.
A shoutout to the engineers in the engineroom, that still keep working to keep the lights on so other ships can see her sinking!
True heroes. but tbh, someone should've told them that all had already left the ship.
tragic...
Everyone was accounted for fortunately 🙂
@@rjonsen don't ruin my sarcastic comment with facts! ;D
@@Xingmey haha 😂
An acquaintance who worked in a shipyard told me about how to tell if a ship can be salvaged from imminent sinking. He told me that it was very important to see which way the ship was sinking, since that would tell if the water was flooding into the passageways and compartments uncontrollably, or if it was meeting "resistance" inside the hull.
Sounds sensible
The radar unit spinning was like the band on the Titanic, playing until the end like true gentlemen would
The MV Derbyshire must have gone down very much like this, absolutely terrifying
It is for sure
You can see the fwd part of the ship start to sink very quick with that tonnage of water coming in
Indeed
A horrifying glimpse of how fast an ore hauler sinks. Now imagine an open top ore hauler breaking in half due to metal fatigue, that's happened a bunch of times. In 3 cases I'm aware of, the ships just went missing because there was no distress call. Everything is fine one minute, then boom, it folds in half and sinks, and to this day nobody even knows exactly where they sank.
It's horrifying for sure
Wow that is amazing how quick that sunk.
It's really amazing and scary at the same time
🎶 oh how I wish to go down with the sun....🎶
This looks like our Cunard Liner LUSITANIA since May 7th 1915 on the southern coast of Ireland🇮🇪on the Celtic Sea!
I like how the radar keeps spinning even when the ship goes under
It must have been running on emergency power at that point
@@rjonsen yeah probably
Another amazing captain.
Not a wise decision taking that shortcut
I detect just a teeeeny bit of sarcasm wipsplash 😂😂
Sad to see a ship go down
It is sad indeed
Scary stuff, cool video.
Thank you 🙂 it's really scary for sure
Has anyone ever recorded a ship sinking from an underwater view? Maybe 100 feet down?
That's a really good question, haven't seen footage of it myself
Going down with the lights on. That's like dying with your eyes open.
That's one way of saying it
Madness, how quick it's done.
It certainly is
With a load of iron ore 350,000 tons more than the Stellar Banner weighed empty
It's like filling a bathtub with iron ore
This company also lost the Stellar Daisy a few years back.
That's sad to hear, hope the crew got rescued
recently got into marine transport
this is heartbreaking
It sure is
Did the Stellar Banner blow her horn right before she went down? or was it the tug towards her bow? i'm referring to the first, duller horn, not the second one that is clearly from the vessel that was filming her sinking.
The Stellar Banners horn was rigged with a float switch, triggering it as a last farewell
Nice submarine! Damn must be scary on a sinking ship.
It must be really scary for sure
Scary how deep the ocean is and how terrifying it would be if you were on a ship that is sinking.
It certainly is
bro that float is so strong it tore off the funnel 💀
Guess all the air rushing through tore it off
There more history on the bottom of the ocean, than all the museums in the world...
There is indeed
According to the company '“Prior to scuttling, floating objects, such as mooring line and pollutants, also a minimal quantity of gas oil which had remained onboard have been removed. Part of the iron ore, navigation equipment and basic machinery remained on the vessel, which are deemed to pose no risk to marine life,”
Correct

@@michaelhenzen7993 Why is bro so mad at a sinking ship?
@@bad74maverick1 Ich nicht aber du😂
damn once the sea got a hold on her, it never let go
For sure
You wonder if this is what the last moments of the _El Faro_ would have looked like if you could have seen it through the hurricane wind and waves.
For sure
No wooden doors to not share on this one Rose😂😂
I assume they never salvaged any electrical components since i can see the radar spinning?
They didn't salvage much, they kept as much as they could running to burn as much possible of the fuel they could not pump out
В момент затопления дг были в работе!
They were indeed
Iron is in short supply in the ocean and where ships are sunk in shallow areas it can lead to a flourish of sea life.
It certainly can
My schoolfriends brother, who lifed across the road from me, was lost on the mv Derbyshire in a typhoon in the south China Sea. She went down like this.
The Derbyshire sinking was really fast too. It caught everyone out.
That's sad to hear
It's really scary seeing big ships going down this quickly
The seas is always right
The seas is certainly demanding
It would have been cool to have some underwater video as it went down
I find it terribly poignant to see the ship sink with the sound of the fog horn and the other ship's response to say goodbye! 😢
It is indeed
I would love to have seen an underwater camera of this.
Terrifying how fast it suddenly went down
It sure is
Imagine if it was the Titanic 😢
scuttled!? The ship was still on power?! I think he is sinking not scuttled?
They kept as much as possible running to burn fuel
It might be helpful to consult the wiki entry for this exact ships fate. Fortunately, there was no loss in crew! And the loss in ore (freight) and steel of the ship itself total value did not even cover the eventual cost of a professional salvage. In the clip, there are two salvage tugs to see, and usually, they dont move to lost ships, only for the thrill, of seeing them going to the ground…
How could it sink if it ran aground? Or was it moved away and then sunk? Why would that make sense?
The salvage company partly offloaded her to get her afloat, then she was towed to deep water for scuttling
C'est incroyable de voir un navire de cette taille (60 mètres de plus que le Titanic) sombrer à cette vitesse!
It is indeed
Stop using the sea as a dumping ground
Agree with you
Should they carry the ship on land?
I saw a vlcc sink in around 1977, the ship was Sun Seahorse, scuttled on 18deg west, turrned out to be a big fraud, ship was originally called Salem, I was a junior engineer on British Trident, we picked up the crew and took them into Dakar.
Reminds me to the tragedy of the Edmund Fitzgerald and gives a feeling of how fast a large can sink in real life.
Indeed
@@rjonsen Image the scenery how this 300+ meter long vessel rushed down to the oceans floor in 3680m depth at that speed in complete darkness.
@CustomChris for sure
Anyone else get a cruise advert before the video. 🤣 no thanks
Oh dear 😂
Well, the front fell off. It is not supposed to do that. Is the ship now beyond the environment?
Imagine how violent and loud it would of been when titanic sank
It certainly must have been
El hundimiento se produce por la entrada de agua el peso del barco y la fuerza gravitacional de la tierra en el suelo oceanico
Indeed
Bloody hell! Good job the tug boat wasn't attached.
The tug boat was attached by a weak link, which is designed to break under a certain load.
Would be crazy if Slash suddenly comes out from the water like from 'estranged' and plays a solo 🎸
That would be crazy indeed! 😂
So instead of recycling the materials from the ship to build something else with it, someone decided to just sink it.
Pretty much what happened
It’s unrepeatable in the middle of the ocean. What are they supposed to do?
It wasn’t going to make it anywhere for repairs.
Anyways, ships that sink/get scuttled typically promote coral reef development, so it’s really not that bad for the environment.
I wonder if they removed the iron ore before the ship got scuttled?
They removed a lot of the iron ore before refloating and scuttling her
Did the captain stayed in the bridge like Titanic? lol
1:31 Good thing you included that note, otherwise the comment section would be overflowing with Einsteins worrying about the poor guy who was still aboard.
Thank you 🙂
well idk how fast titanic sunk in its last stages but this here was surprisingly fast.
It sank fast indeed
Was that Stellar Banner's horn being triggered by the float, or an attending vessel?
It was triggered by a float switch
Can just imagine how terrified all those passengers onboard the Titanic must have been now.
Remains me , Estonia 1994....
Did they unload it first?
They unloaded between a 3rd and half the cargo to re-float her, before towing her away to deeper waters for scuttling
At the bottom of the ocean the depths of the abyss they are bound by iron and blood
Indeed
The flagship of the navy, the terror of the seas
His guns have gone silent at last!
Last part looked like Davy jone’s ship
It certainly did
Why is it not used for construction metal?
That's a good question
Expensive loss. It’s a shame she couldn’t have been scrapped 😢 Insurance will help recover the loss.
It's a shame indeed!
Honestly think she is better at the bottom of the ocean than in a scrapyard.
With that cargo you could have just melted down the entire thing.

Well that was quicker than I thought.
She went down really quickly
twss
It’s sad for the ship it’s worked so long for us only to get betrayed by us running it aground and making it sink.
It is sad indeed
@@rjonsen
👍😔
How could it sink if it ran aground ?
The ship was floated, but was too heavily damaged to justify the economics of rebuild her. She was towed to deep waters and scuttled
На какой глубине затопили?
It was over 1000m depth
Sunk so fast at the end because the cargo holds are full of both water and all that iron
Indeed
