That family could have slipped and fell 😭😂

True!

I rather watching the silent videos, the narrator is distracting, we could see what's going on.

It's pee poor the first time through, Can't believe I suckered to this twice; won't happen the third. Despicable.

These creators love the sound of their own voices. Bell ends

Why not skip the narration entirely. We did not learn anything from the narration he merely described what we could already see with our eyes. Maybe this is a channel for blind people?

@paulgarcher Correct! The narrator does not know what he is talking abut!

@paulgarcher Lifts are calculated these days. Weight, distance etc are all worked out before the crane gets anywhere near the lift itself. Apparently someone thought or maybe was told that the boat was lighter than it actually was.

Its UTUBE not the BRIGHTEST.

@@roberthertz6634 What are you talking about?

@paulgarcher Agreed but the liftplan should have that as part of it. Assuming that they had one which seems unlikely. :)

@@lesgraham6602 same energy as " this is why mom doesn't love you!"

🤦‍♂️

It was a big wave but it died down a little

PEOPLE'S FEET GOT WET!? OH! THE HORROR!!!!

THE BOAT WAS RUINED, pretty sure that counts as horribly wrong.

cheap video money.

Actually what "happened" is the boat discovered gravity and took the crane along for the ride.

That’s what happens when you use a small crane to carry the bulk of the weight, ie engine’s etc. .

Agreed. That crane didn't even have counterweights. It's a light duty, not meant for big lifts. This is what happens when people think they know what they're doing, rather than actually know what they're doing.

He also made number one the launch that he didn't have film of.

Or fortnite/cs video game clips

And the water level had nothing at all to do with the tip. Honestly, who the hell writes these scripts?

@@tomrogers9467 Agreed. If the crane that tipped had been placed the other way about it would have been OK.

The crane operator 100% caused that crane was badly positioned. Boom was extended out to the rear where the crane has minimal braving, and the boom was lowered as the boat was swung out over the water, shifting the cranes center of gravity in ways that the operator had not planned. I know of a few Fire Departments that managed to sink their very expensive ladder trucks the same way.

@@andrewtaylor940 also as the load goes below the line of the crane it increases to load affect, same as reaching out reduces the load ability of the crane lot of people dont know that

@@raypitts4880 Basic leverage, dangling the weight below the cranes center of gravity is every bit as dangerous as having it above the center of gravity, works both ways, over-extension, bad load planning, bad orientation, honestly the whole thing was a perfect storm of bad decisions that ended with an overturned crane, it wasn't just one thing that went wrong there, it was many.

And?

@@ElizabethRhyner You like to be misinformed it seems :)

Or how those two cranes were sharing the load. Not just keeping it steady.

not that serious 😂🙄

@@ElizabethRhyner exactly lol 😆 😂

Ok cool thanks for letting us know.

It litterary says PILOT om the side so not just any boater who got a new boat. Yes, they are built to take a pounding in the sea. It was only the two first that went horribly wrong especially the one in Indonesia that got scrapped.

Yes, the first is an Italian pilot boat. They are designed for incredibly rough seas in the Mediterranean, going alongside giant merchants to deliver the pilots. They get beaten up by the seas and the sides of the customer ships, tossed in the waves, and just keep going. As a Navy officer I took these boats alongside more times than I can remember

I was thinking of that - it just tipped over when put into water.

No video, unfortunately.

That was a fun one.

@@roysigurdkarlsbakk3842 If I recall correctly (Disclaimer: from what I've read, I wasn't actually there...) it didn't tip over right away. It did a minor test drive first that went okayish, and then they went for the big, official premiere thing and that's when things went south.

My Brother who had Swedish gf went to a museum about the Wasa. He told me it was a design fault as the king of Sweden wanted an extra floor on this ship making it the biggest ship at that time. Builders warned him not to increase height as it woukd become top heavy easy . But the king insisted....( refusing a request from a king would be dangerous sometimes)

Very nice video! Thank you for learning about the ship! :) If you want to learn about the swedish ship Vasa, see here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/jGBhdXp8jY9l2aM.html&ab_channel=Historiepodden

And he keeps going from "boat" to "ship" verbally like he is confused as well.

I would pay to attend a launch lol. Definitely looks exciting and interesting. So im sure the locals are proud

I know that the Navy has 'ships', but I always called them 'boats' in private conversation. My son was a Naval officer, so I tried not to do that in his presence. 🤭😏

You don't understand bhow click bait works my guy.

U sound angry about it

@@DBuckyBoy it’s hard to watch someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing ruin a perfectly good boat, if only because you appreciate the craftsmanship that went into it.

Im crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

it's more amazing how much padding this video took to roll 10min out of 1min actual footage...

Dido

They ruin the video!

He also says one crane is lifting the boat and another crane is holding it steady, when clearly both cranes are lifting the boat from either end

Use bluebackss

And there's the moron bringing up the Fitzgerald. You really need to get help with that fixation. It's very unhealthy.

Isn't that ship underwater

Ah that's why it snapped

And there's moron number 2 with the Fitzgerald.

who cares

@@jeremyhesaid alot of people

Guy bought it second hand. The port was retiring it and he got a good deal on a boat that can handle rough water.

There's no delay in the throttle, which they didn't shut off

@@treed5953 there are some boats where there is a delay in the controls. When you shift throttle from backwards to forward, there is a delay while the gear box does it's thing. While gear is shifting the boat wil continue backwards, if you push throttle more forward because nothing happens, you can get in trouble once the gear box is done shifting to forward. Then, if you didn't loose your balance from the boat suddenly going forward, you might try reverse again, but if the boat already have speed forward, it will again continue while the gear box is shifting. But if you lost your balance, there's no one to stop the boat. I don't know if the boat in the video had this kind of controls. Just saying that things like this are prone to happen with inexperienced drivers if that was the case. If you know about the gearbox delay, (that's there by design to avoid excessive force from switching rotation too quickly), then you take it into account, to use controls in advance, to have enough time for the shift.

@@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 A visit to Lake Havasu will help you form an opinion of the qualifications of the boat operators there. ( It probably won't be a high one)

@@treed5953 obviously the driver is inexperienced, and should never been allowed to operate tat boat. When people believe driving a boat is just like driving a car, it's just an accident waiting to happen. I grew up in walking distance from the sea, I don't need to go anywhere to believe there are idiots in boats other places too. My point was merely that some boat engines have a gearbox that won't switch without a delay. 1 second delay isn't a problem when you are aware of it, but if they never been in that boat, they suddenly realize there is no brake pedal. Looking at the clip again, my guess is: First they put it in reverse, but were a little startled by the power, and tried to coner that, going a little forward, when it didn't switch to forward they pushed the throttle more. When it finally switch to forward, it kicks with full throttle, an they are completely overwhelmed unable to do anything but try to hold on. By considering a possible gear shift delay, I'm not trying to make an excuse for the accident. More like speculation arround contributing factors to a worse outcome.

@@treed5953 there can be if the throttle and direction are on the same lever (and a great many are), once the gearbox actuator jams, the cable from control lever to gearbox will not move , neither will the lever, and thus neither will the throttle. His only option was to shut it off or pull the Deadman out.

A lot of different reasons for different launching. The opening launches (not the first bad launch, but the 2 US Navy ships in the intro) are done sideways in to the Menominee River in Marinette Wisconsin. There is less distance needed from the shore to launch. First the length vs width of the ship, and the momentum that carries the ship in distance. Same thing was done in Manitowoc WI as well (submarines, car ferries, landing craft, ore carriers...), all sideways.

Almost half of them are what we call "credit card captains." They buy a fancy new boat with their "platinum level credit card" to show off to everyone but they don't know anything about boats. I'm talking NOTHING. And quite a few cannot swim either.

🤦‍♂️

totally operator fail to do his maths

Exactly, who,the heck writes the scripts for this crap? This footage is probably fifteen years old to begin with!

Yep. When I worked in a shipyard we used wood under them for launches.

I've got piles.

Boat depending on size and quality and labour and other costs

🤣

nope, no one died after seeing it,

@@jeremyhesaid yes it was. It was stated so in multiple documentaries

You must mean the SS Principessa Jolanda, in 1907. It matches your description. The Princess Leopoldina was launched in the 1960s, and had an uneventful life.

Don't cranes with extentions have strain gauges on them??? Like when the strain gauge starts going down, stop moving!

@@randysmith9715 Depends Randy. Clarification is in order. For instance, the electronic indicator on most 2000 and later vehicles attached to the rear view mirror that indicate which compass direction you are traveling in are electronic. Versus the old sckool magnetic compass scouts would use. Modern strain gauges are electronic circuitry on a circuit board connected to micro processor that converts ohms and micro volts into data that the micro processor determines whether or not pre programmed weight limits have been exceeded. Such circuitry may also [likely] involve wheatstone bridges, load cells, and alarms. I'm not talking about any of that crap Randy. When I started in construction there were still fellas in the industry who were introduced to crane operation via rigging. Riggers who showed potential were occasionally giving opportunities to operate a crane. There was no formal training. Until I entered the field. My introduction was old sckool [intentionally misspelled] not the latter. The cranes I operated still had mechanical strain gauges (devices inside or outside, visible from the cab, that worked like a plumb bob). The problem with electronics is if it fails your hosed. The actuators that control the hydraulics ( or in the case of a tower crane electric motors and gears) fail and lose the ability to raise an object but MAY still have the ability to lower it. I'm not disparaging formal training, on the contrary. One should fully understand the relationship btw weights and leverage and not rely on electronics. When lights replaced gauges on vehicle dash boards they were referred to as idiot lights. That was my point in the last post.

@@UserName_no1 what cranes can you operate

@@carlthelongshoreman1979 As I eluded to in my comment I have no formal training. I came into the workforce at a time when it wasn't always a requirement. My experience is/was limited to construction jobs ranging from commercial buildings worth a couple million to multi billion dollar budgets. From structural steel to reinforcing steel. So some of the equipment I familiarized myself with were boom cranes or stationary cranes. I operated a limited variety of boom cranes and served as a rigger for the stationaries.

Well you could launch a ship with nobody on it but then you have to watch it float to the ocean

Ah yes the last clip was my favourite.

No it's not

More money than brains!

Note: The cruise ship lunch disaster at 3:32 had the ship half flooded because the tipped over passenger ship was half way underwater!

5:36 Cruise ship that can hold a maximum of 100 passengers: Successfully launched but then the splash turned into a massive tidal wave that made half of the audience get wet but were not swept away by the mega tsunami but the other half were swept away by the wave in the aftermath the shore was flooded it was the greatest ship lunch disaster the world has ever seen! But this large passenger ship was still able to carry passengers and enjoy wonderful voyages!!!
