Back in the early 1990's came an incredible event, most now, don't remember or know about. It was an event that ended with the sinking of a family cruise ship and an incredible air rescue all while the captain had already escaped. This is the story of the sinking, of the Oceanos.

  • Titanic: Goes down vertical Costa Concordia: captain abandons ship Oceanos : lemme have both
  • @MrFlacogst
    The crew who abandoned ship WHILE telling everyone that everything is ok should have been charged with 500+ counts of attempted murder....
  • @Arterexius
    It gets a bit more awkward when you realize that Moss Hills, the guitarist, singer and one of the entertainers, have survived the sinking of two cruise ships, the second being the MS Achille Lauro, which caught fire in the Indian Ocean and started sinking. Moss Hills used what he learned on the Oceanos and helped people to safety. He refuses to stop entertaining on cruise ships and still sails.
  • I still find it staggering that the Captain, Officers and Engineers weren't jailed! This could have resulted in hundreds of lives lost by their inaction.
  • @CrazyKungfuGirl
    cruise ship singer: uh, ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm, but it appears I am now the captain...
  • @gigagaming9630
    That moment when your cruise ship musicians do a better job at helping out than your own captain.
  • @partybear2579
    To the Oceanos, thank you for holding on until every one of your passengers was safe. You were a great ship
  • Update : August 2021 Two passengers Neal Shaw and Mick O’Mahoney who helped get off people from the stricken ship have been given bravery awards by National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) of South Africa Only 30 years after the event, but better late than never Well done to both of them
  • @johnboy4025
    The Titanic band would be proud of those entertainers.
  • @Wanking_wanker
    Imagine being on a cruise ship to entertain people then having to end up running the evacuation
  • Two entertainers not only coordinated the rescue of the passengers, they went below to assess the damage to the ship and its rate of sinking AND went to the bridge to establish comms with the rescue helicopters! Legends!
  • I can’t understand how the Captain thought he wasn’t in the wrong for trying to abandon ship. He is responsible for the ship and the souls on board her.
  • That Captain though... "If people want to stay they can stay." ...on a sinking Ship?
  • @PatrickWagz
    The "Captain" says, " IF the passengers WANT to stay..." yea, I'm sure they are having a blast, and don't want to leave!!!
  • @Paladin1034
    The entertainment crew deserves so much recognition. The military does too, for what they did was remarkable, but the entertainment staff is not trained or prepared for that kind of thing. They did it anyways and 574 people have their lives because of it. Truly amazing. Their names need to be immortalized.
  • He admitted to leaving the ship while there were still passengers. As a Greek, I have to say I am disgusted by any of the officers who left the ship before everyone was safe. Actually, he could've been a hero... if he had a spine!
  • @gavincurtis
    Youtube is steering me into sinking ship videos again...
  • @no_idea8012
    I'm starting to think that even pirate captains were more trustable than these cruise ships' captains..
  • @mrkipling2201
    Moss Hills is a hero. I’ve just watched the Achille Lauro video on this channel which Moss was also on and saved many people. If there were more people like him in the world then it would be a much better place. I hate to think what would have happened if he and the rest of the entertainment staff hadn’t taken charge of the sinking vessel.
