Cruise ships collision in Dubrovnik, Croatia

[dl8rds]

hey all you Serbs and Coratians, you have more in common than you believe, and the reasons why you quarrel are ridiculous. Same language, both Christian countries (who should be forgiving!!), same culture. So come on, enjoy Europe. We have a lot of potential if we just accept each other as friends!

[thecar1888]

@dl8rds well i admit that we fight over nothing that will help us and youre right that we should accept each others as firends

[dl8rds]

@thecar1888 The best thing about Europe is that Europe belongs to us all. Germany welcomes French Europeans and France welcomes Germans. This is the way to put an end to 1000 years of war. So Strasbourg is France! We can accept that as we're free to live there and ask nobody for moving there. Same should happen with Croatia and Serbia. Imagine a Serb can move to Dobrovnik and just live there. And a Croat can move to Serbia to live there without asking the authorities... THIS is Europe.

[MegaAplauz]

with those huge liners and other big vessels it`s all about anticipating miles in advance..

because there are no quick turns with those

so, captains just stood helpless after mistake made hundreds of meters before collision..

btw, Dubrovnik was predominantly Serbian republic - city in the past

after some cunning moves by Austrians it has became Croatian - Austrian, city.

[frankie1972w]

@MegaAplauz You wish serbian boy. Educate yourself before you start spreading lies around. Understandable though coming from serbian, cos jealousy towards croatians is pretty obvious. Btw, your comment has nothing to do with this video...

[MegaAplauz]

@frankie1972w XDD

;P

( had me laughing early in the morning )

[Ivan6235]

@MegaAplauz LoL you are juste another jealous serbian who wants Croatia so desperately,but Dubrovnik was Croatian city and he will always be

[MegaAplauz]

@Ivan6235 I`m just trying to emphasize the fact that Dubrovnik had a lot to do with Serbs

most of the citizens were Serbs, but they had to change religion and nationality into Croatian under pressure

[thecar1888]

@MegaAplauz you are a nother jealous serbian after all crap you said

[MegaAplauz]

@thecar1888 I admit saying crap

just for the fun of it

and reactions that came later

[thecar1888]

@MegaAplauz well u think im mad at you no i think you lack information cuz thats not true what u say you mesed

up the history dude get a grip on it you dont know anithing about history of any country or something else

[parkertheyognaut]

captain 1 "jesus man the cruise ship jumped out of nowhere"

captain 2 "i bet the other captain was a women"

no offence intended it is just a comical comment

[TheJuzy]

Jester: "Looks like someone had a little trouble with parking thier boat"

[1scott921]

jebeno!!! fali mi Dubrovnik :(

[navalaviator017]

Ship1 captain: YOU MOVE!

Ship2 Captain: NO YOU MOVE!

Ship 1 captain:NO YOU MOVE!

Ship2 Captain: IM NOT MOVING!

Ship 1 captain: WELL IM NOT MOVING

[MrHobiecat]

the skipper on the one ship just wanted to get the phone number of the skipper on the other ship

cause he is so CUTE!

[Sp33dyD3m0n]

Dont you guys use harbor pilots who know the route like the back of their hand? Well you should, it will minimize this type of accident.

[1scott921]

@Sp33dyD3m0n well this was the only accident like this one

[john91722]

I am having right of way, right of way. You are not having right of way! Let's us to be playing the Chicken game, to be seeing who changes course firstly of this time Yes?

[kidthing1119]

For all of you idiots, ships like that take close to a mile to slow down to a stop, they cant just stop. There is so much momentum and so much wind force on those ships, if they floored it in reverse, he would still hit him. Christ.

[noshtromo]

ovo je jedan MSC Fantazia

[Dennishard1]

dumb fucks! HIT THE BREAKS HIT THE BREAKS good lord you over 900 feet long aand a 100 feet hight and you crash at likw 5 miles an our dumb shit

[SR71ABCD]

God it's like playing Battlestations Midway while to get my aircraft carrier in between the two battleships.

[m14lover1]

lol they are both RC ships too. lmfao

[robstrevor]

Your good, your good, your good, DAMN IT! 

[krabby4000]

its practically touching the island aswell not a good day.

[tony1tiger1]

@dylankickyoazz Omfg haahahaha XD i cant stop laughing

[6000edward]

@dylankickyoazz hahahahahahahaha

[meringandan]

someones going to get fired over this.

[722erodz]

awesome : ]

[TrainTrackTrav]

skerch, bump! "Umm, okay, nobody saw that so we'll be on our way then."

[Msdistarr]

@TrainTrackTrav  Hysterical comment. LMAO. Can you imagine. I can just hear the captain asking his crew: Do you think we should leave a note on his windshield? The crews response: Nah, nobody saw it. Just flip a U-turn and leave 'em our wake.

[telx2010]

They're still searching for the smaller one due to giving false insurance details

[joetylerdale]

Sir, please step outside the helm. I'm sorry sir I didn't notice you were blind, but I may have to impound you seeing eye dog!

[cksilverado1]

Somebody told him that it would do a 180 if he pulled the e-brake!

[azimuth361]

Oops. My bad. Should I leave a note?

[foreverthewho]

is the left boat one of the norwegian ''hurtigruten'' float??

[DjSkrull]

probably high winds and a narrow path out

[HotShotVQ35]

drunk captain??

[javaqwe]

the ocean is soo vast and they still manage to collide lol

[Chopsycro]

@javaqwe how stupid one must be to say that Dubrovnik and this incident happened at the ocean??

[tonche696]

@javaqwe phahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha­hahahahahahahahahahahaha ocean looooooooooooooooooollllll

[Plainmark]

lol imagine the police turning up in a little dingy...

'Alright... who floated into who? come on, own up. Seriously guys, two big ships in the ocean still manage to hit each other, in the OCEAN. Not exactly a bath tub here guys'

[blasfemi08]

Hit and run.

[LanituastaFilm]

Now they have to exchange insurance information.

[KraljLazar]

@LanituastaFilm

deep and very small bay, in combination with crosswinds up to 100 mph.

Usually, I think ships wouldn't be allowed to anchor there, during storms...

[mysticalwonder7]

One of the coolest jobs on earth, dealing with the elements!

[KraljLazar]

I remember that day.

It was severe wind, and intense sea currents which made two anchored cruise liners to collide in the middle of the bay...

Captains of the bothships reacted propperly as I remember...

[zachray263]

I hate to be the insurance company paying to fix the damage

[waaahnnn]

the mother of the smallship-captain told him in the morning: " iff there is coming a bigger boat, go beside!" But the captain means:"mother tell me everytime the same, coming bigger ones, go away! No, not today! I ve my own rights and never, never again i will listen what my mother say!" Ans so children, here you see the problem, when will not accept what your mother says!"

[calisaetia]

what are you on about?

[Quintinlicious]

is that the norwegian and royal caribbean cruise line

[nipster6]

no its an MSC ship (the big ship with the blue stack) and a Costa ship

[CanadianGuy82]

Norwegian doesn't go to Croatia

[Solsearcher1960]

Yes, Norwegian does stop in Dobruvnik. My wife and I did that cruise for our honeymoon 3 years ago.

[Ceasar1030]

That would have been damn scary to be on the ship being hit. Imagine looking out your porthole to see a giant ship, then having it break through your window!!

[Brgat]

it's not drivers fault!! they were parked, it was very windy, south wind

[SSPoseidon846]

Ocean Liners do not park they Moor or Anchor and the driver is reffered to as either the Ship's Pilot or Quater Master.

[mickeymoose76]

dey maast have been driiinkin too match vodka!!!

[imthebomliketicktick]

blame it on the alcohol

[neuphin]

Did they actually touch?

I don't remember hearing anything about it, though I suppose they'd keep it quiet considering MSC Poesia is the flagship...

[huggison]

i have been in croatia

[Rogier21]

Haha that's what you get with Italians and Greeks on cruise ships...

[Shelltank]

did anyone told you the incident with the lighthouse and one of your state of the art air carrier?? ask someone to tell you about it and then you can put your comments about Greeks and Italians in your ass!

[SparwoodApple]

Umm what you are referring to actually never took place - There have been many versions told of that story - some of which involve ships that were not in service at that the time - Some even involve lighthouses that were automated or taken out of service. There is 12 different versions of this story

[Shellocker]

Ok you may be right! So we dont know if the story is real or fake, but if you think of it as an "event", its really stupid, and proves that even a high rank officer or an "admiral" could easily do something stupid!

[pabstman57]

funny someone from Greece would want to put something up your ass. I mean I always heard rumors but never believed them.

[Shellocker]

yep!!!we always put comments about your asses!!! Now I am supossed to make a comment about your mothers ass, but I will not do it! I respect your stupidity, mind retarted! You are right about not believing rumours you heard.Your mother knows the truth!

[pabstman57]

I noticed the first English most inbred foreigners learn are curse words. you poor little inbred simpleton.isn't your sister satisfying your sexual needs lately?

[Shellocker]

no!!cause I ve been satisfied by your mother!She is dissapointed cause of your disability! Anyway, when did your great nation started "speaking" and "writing" elnglish, indian dialect,Datch,spanish, French language etc etc??? And honestly, how long do you think we will keep cursing each other?? How many years??

[pabstman57]

you poor pathetic little pea brained person,keep saving your pennies you'll be out of your parents basement in no time. ps my mom died about 4 months ago.

[faroolabjalmak]

pabtman57 wot dis shit u says? dis fer tru? to much bro dis fer tru ocur o wot? ha dis funi shit cos u fuck u mum n u sister o wot? nah me i lik lik tru dis fer tru u is fagot cos u fuck u fader o u boyfrind wana fuck u anus big one tim two tim lik dis fer tru asshole fuck u ha ha bro dis fer tru praise

[pabstman57]

indeed your moldy shit. your parents were brother n sister. your relatives are animals. I pray to your fake Ala eats your stomach with cancer. cry for your kind, they have suffered for thousands of years and because of inbreds like you they will be tortured for ever.

[pabstman57]

farool you are a bottom feeder. come to my home, I will open you up and show you your insides.

[pabstman57]

30 years old in greece. you have no future. you'll probably die of cancer like so many of your kind.

[pabstman57]

shellocker in 10 years no one will even remember your name.

[flitzekacke00]

the ship was so small, they didn't see it after a few bottles of slivowitz!! xDDD

[Alrahaa]

you go left i stay right..didn't work i guess!

[cruisesstar22]

What happend is the ships okey.

[Jeffgoalie]

lol that is cool! if i become a captain i would be like SHIP DEAD AHEAD! And crash into another ship intentionally at full power just to get my anger out! lolz

[YingtheGreat1]

nice...

[UberShadow666]

lol, and get fired, jailed, possibly kill a few people, but hey man.. Whatever floats your boat! lol

[jakefucks]

he was joking

[leehamvernram]

so was he

[Sh4rkSt4r]

how do they not see that coming jesus christ

[tezgaa84]

those are very hard to see lol

[GoranDBK]

their anchors rounded up which led the collision.

also, anchors destroyed the public utilities of the island behind them, and the repair lasted about half a year

[Sh4rkSt4r]

DAAAAAMMMMMn

[FCI1908]

p.s. ..comunque guardando il video non mi pare sia la Poesia ad andare addosso alla Costa ma viceversa, quindi non so chi ha sbagliato eh.. Pero'l'importante e' che non sia successo nulla di grave x nessuna delle due.

[FCI1908]

Mah.. meno male che comunque non e' successo niente a nessuna delle due navi, ne' ai passeggeri. Per il resto,come sto scrivendo un po' ovunque, amo la MscPoesia "mia" prima crociera. E se il primo amore non si scorda mai... Fatela tutti xche' e' splendida (specie se il mare fa il bravo e non e' mosso eh eh eh).Nella mia settimana ho viaggiato su una lussuosa nuvola.

[gigiorosy]

Tu da membro dello staff di bordo come fai a dire che la posizione di fonda della msc non era corretta? Che ruolo ricopri a bordo? Ci spieghi come deduci la non corretta posizione??? GRAZIE

[worldlybabe]

When did this collision take place? That is just off of Lokrum island.

[NunaMSC]

Oh mio dio ç___ç

Quando è successo?!?!?

[BellaVenuto18]

omg wow..i went on the costa classica when i was a little baby like 2wice---and now in february im going on the MSC Orchestra, can anyone tell me if the MSC is a nice, good cruise line, Ive never been on it and i want to know how it is before I go...

[jtreign9097]

even the slowest speeds possible can do alot of damage

[australianmade74]

how the fuk can two ships at snail pace hit each other????? fuken retards

[Skeleton10000]

Unexpected change of power and direction of wind on tight manuvering space. Plus enourmos inertia force...

[backgammonPL]

We have simillar situation in Turkey - change of wind direction and ship hit a pier - there was a hole in crew bar. Ship Royal Princess, now Artemis in P&O fleet.

[cdamauser1963]

@Skeleton10000 and stupidity? dont leave that out.

[Hubjoe]

@Skeleton10000 .... Exactly ... that guy thought it was like driving his bike or something, hahahaha

[l8erh8er420]

@Skeleton10000 i would put my money on it being a rude i got the right way thinking by one person, an the other actually having the right-a-way.

[schoschie]

@australianmade74 because of the enormous kinetic energy --> inertial force. ships are very heavy.

[lfshannu]

@australianmade74 yeah lets see you drive a 5 million pound boat

[Kamikuru77]

@australianmade74 it happend cause jesus buttfucked mary

[Mattsana]

@australianmade74 How old are you anyway? lol

[australianmade74]

@Mattsana 2 im very smart for my age, i an even swear asshole so fuck off.

[Mattsana]

@australianmade74 Doesn't seem like it with your behaviour...

[australianmade74]

@Mattsana zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzz

[martinsuper73]

So, can Italians drive? NO!

[AntCZC]

Comunque si sta facendo del casino per nulla!!!!

Non è successo niente di che. Lo scalpore c'è solo perche le due navi sono MSC e COSTA. Ma sapete quante di queste stupidaggini succedono ogni giorno per colpa del vento forte??? Solo che le navi non si chiamano MSC.

[guidillodeejay]

Chi scrive è un membro dello staff di bordo che vi dice che prima di postare commenti bisognerebbe sapere come sono andate realmente le cose prima di lanciarsi in avventate deduzioni....la Costa Classica era in rada in posizione corretta, MSC Poesia è arrivata dopo mettendosi in una posizione non corretta, quando ha iniziato a muoversi i motori non erano pronti per una manovra rapida, ciò ha causato la leggera collisione;mirabile il lavoro del comando della Classica che ha evitato il peggio!

[LINFANO58]

come si fa a salvare o scaricare questo video? chi mi aiuta per favore??

Silvio

[bramix08]

per enzo corini: fai attenzione a quello che dici perchè esiste la querela. da quello che dici si vede che sei un incompetente in materia e pure ........la prossima volta documentati prima di sparare ca.........e studia un pochino di cinematica navale se sei in grado di capirla, contadino!!!!!!!!!

[enzocorini]

a volte è veramente difficile capire come tali incidenti possano accadere evidentemente sul ponte della nave più piccola stavano ballando! 5* per aver ricordato che al timone delle navi ci sono uomini che a volte non fanno il proprio dovere. ciao

[05911001L]

le immagini possono ingannare, specie se incomplete: è la nave più grande che si è girata e sospinta dal forte vento è andata ad urtare quella più piccola la cui ancora aveva continuato a tenere. ciao

[bramix08]

ad enzocorini: prima di fare certi commenti, sei pregato di documentarti. attenzione a quello che scrivi perchè esiste la querela. dalle tue parole si vede che non capisci nulla di mare

[rosegomez07]

wow , when did this happen?

[giovanninoal]

after this hour would not make more 'stop ships in harbour but bring in port

[dreamward]

Oh,Also ships can kiss.

[barconauta]

realy? oh Know MSC Poesia have bad friends!
