[andyrae1971]

Who emptied the wrong ballast tank.

[cakekillus]

barrel roll

[GEREEF]

Stability problem Gom=0 or negative

[n2dabloo]

RoRo's look like a stability nightmare anyway. I think I've seen this ship in Lagos.

[minardangel]

this shows how good the italian peoples are......

[TheReni87]

@minardangel wtf?

[fishysk8]

Somebody get the bucket and start bailing. Quick

[Visbyknutte]

I think the chiefofficer got he´s ass kicked :P

[SundanganBANEG]

1:10 nuke power plant?

[JetMechMA]

@SundanganBANEG Just goes to show...look at this huge modern ship. It looks brand new, in fact. A huge ship this new and in this day and age and it capsizes. The best laid plans failed. What about the best laid plans for that nuke plant in the background? Can Antwerp afford to have it fail in some way?

[BelgianEvo]

@SundanganBANEG : Yep, the plant is called "Doel". I work as captain on a tugboat in that harbor. I also don't know the exact reason for the capsizing of the ship........

[gladio4ever]

I wonder if the loadmaster got a christmas package from the ships owners ?

[EAadvisers]

THATS WHAT I CALL, A FAIL!

[Fortlin]

Hahaha, typical dumb belgians!

Hahaha, altijd die domme belgen :D

[CH2CHCHO]

@Fortlin als een kat jongen krijgt in een viswinkel zijn het ook geen vissen...

[CH2CHCHO]

@Fortlin als een kat jongen krijgt in een viswinkel zijn het ook geen vissen...

[wkruit]

@Fortlin Dom antwoord als je beseft dat het een Italiaans schip is.

[wkruit]

@Fortlin Domme reactie als je beseft dat het een Italiaans schip is.

[mrchumba]

lol once a tourist ship capsized off the coast of hawaii because it was passing a nudist beach...guess why

[Karletto555]

"quick! everyone to the portside"

[Flodder450]

DO A BARREL ROLL

[kippeneukendejood]

silly ship.. you're not supposed to be on your side

[richardquartimain]

definitely not good. . .YOU'RE FIRED!!! lol

[deathbert]

The ship is not oriented properly

[gladheateher4now]

By Crakky,did i do that?

[Karletto555]

not good, not good!

[ragingbullsht]

ok, we see the disaster but, how do you "fix" the problem??? ship has to be uprighted water pumped out????

[CH2CHCHO]

you can watch the video, antwerp ship disaster, the sequal where is shown how they fixed it.

[medfordJimmy]

She was upright when I left last night. Forgot to turn the water off in the tub I guess.

[XBOX360driftking101]

@medfordJimmy haha

[TowTruckJoe1]

It would be something to see. Looks like a container ship. Someone probably made a miscalculation when loading or off loading creating an unbalanced ship. Just a guess.

[Dorothyinstead]

I wonder which single one person was responsible for this.....and whether they still have a job?

[cutter1620]

could you imagine how bad it would suck to be in the head taking a dump when she began to tip. lol how fast can you wipe & run!

[Beelzebird]

It was my fault; I was on the cell phone. "My bad, sir. Sorry."

[tulagKY]

improper ballasting / cargo shift

[st8smn350]

ooops somebody forgot to put the bung back in!!!

[Theokondak]

LoL ... wellcome to the failboat!

[trinityroughneck]

wouldve loved to hear the phone call to the office explaning that

[annanoli]

Well,probably a mishandling with cargo. too much weight on top.

[DonBringer]

oops! that is 1 hell lifting! they can use 30 tug boats for the lifting the left side!

[t93sho]

how embarrassing!

[tommy9927]

It's a ConRo ferry (RoRo ferry able to carry containers as well) and capsized whilst loading. It was on a corporate misson as it was loading brand new FIAT cars and containers

[NavyFighterKid]

how did that happen?!?!?!

[CH2CHCHO]

what's this red button ...

[MembrainJ]

lmao

[CharIiePresents]

complete fail xD atleast they can clean the bottom?

[philipmusche]

ahaha

[lrmis11111]

I would like to see how one fixes that problem.

[CH2CHCHO]

Insurance company ?...

[Aramiak]

Where can you find a video that actually shows the LOL moment when it actually rolls over?

Anyone know?

[kyokurt]

The name of the ship is actually "Repubblica di Genova".

[CH2CHCHO]

That's correct!

[undrgrndr2]

Well if they had to repaint the other side, they could have do it

[k1971C]

what happened did all the fat american tourists try and get off from the ships side at the same time?

[jcadlols]

feasible if it wasn't a cargo ship.

[nocalsteve]

"Captain, they want us to dock on our starboard side."

"We'll show 'em"

[justheretosee]

lol xD

[mathiastheok]

Failboat come in to port.

[Scrat335]

How did they correct the problem?

[CH2CHCHO]

See video : antwerp ship disaster the sequal. Steel bars were attached to the ship and then was pulled out of the mud.

[HRMOKeefe]

no wonder you nit wits like Obama, you have no concept of reality "2.5MM dead" like were you maybe asleep when that (didnt) happen?

[HRMOKeefe]

no video of it rolling over?

"2.5MM dead"--what color is the sky in some of your worlds?

[CH2CHCHO]

I was just a minute late...

[ecsson25]

2.5 MILLION! how many of that were crew? 250,000? Imagine the size of the buffet...

[bono2100]

Waar halen ze het "A horrible disaster indeed, 2.5 million people lost thier lives in this tragic disaster" mensen lief , er is NIEMAND gewond geraakt , de crew was tijdig van boord. even opzoeken zou helpen voor de commentaar te posten!

NO ONE lost there live in this accident , All crew members where off board in time. Read news articles before posting.

[bobtul]

probaly a polish crew

[tiff5355]

2.5 million Dead ? er i dont think so

[Lordseydious]

Our company works with Grimaldi and we lost several cars and conatiners in this ship. We lost soem good clients

[alex37303]

Hoe do you ever bring that thing back up??? It;'s so heavy

[EinundzwanzigPanzer]

A horrible disaster indeed, 2.5 million people lost thier lives in this tragic disaster

[czdavid1]

2.7 million....get your facts straight!!!

[sheep21]

this had to be a wah!

np ship in the world could carry that many. idiot.

[LateralBud]

omg that's sad!

[davh11]

gees this is weird

[theshipman]

Thank God they wern't out at sea.

[PFCPEDERSON]

hwta a boring video

[robocock0]

hahaha what a dick. at least they have got the chance to clean the bottom. the master race at work. lol

[SteffanLlwyd]

Fancy pressing a wrong button sinks a ship! Wow!

Ships like the one at 3:32 are too ugly to be allowed on the sea. Does the architect have no pride? I hope these types don't represent the future.

[GardensOfStone]

This very vessel is frequently seen entering Sydney Heads with another load of new cars. I would not say it is ugly, although it certainly does appear top heavy, which, of course, it is not.

[belgicasken]

wrm is da schip nie beginnen zinken of was da water nie diep genoeg ?

[CH2CHCHO]

water was niet diep genoeg, ongeveer 18 meter en de ene kant van het schip is dus in het slijk gezakt van de dok.

[oooohmer]

I dont know. Usually ballasting can only effect a ship 3-5 degrees off an even keel unless her freeboard was exceedingly large, perhaps.

[TINBENDER53]

looks better upside down

[leftcoastrangers]

what, it just "fell over?"

[CH2CHCHO]

The turn was caused due to filling the wrong ballast tank and valve with malfunction. 5 months later, you can watch the ship at 'antwerp ship disaster, the sequal'

[Woestijnvos]

instantaneous stability ! :D

[dougstiro]

Ok so what does this button do?

[bugsier5]

just a failure in balasting!

Ships captain handled fast sended everyperson of the ship just in time!

1 min later it capsized! hurting no one (exept insurance company! Lol)

[notrombones]

Looks like an "oopsie" to me.

[scott9824]

Totally bizarre.  This ship is huge, it doesn't seem possible that it could capsize without some huge storm. The other bizarre thing is that basjunk says "quay." Haven't heard that word in a while, we call it "berth" in America.

[caerleon87]

Definitely "Quay" in britain!!!!!!

[ahereticiam]

"So, what happened at work today honey?" "Well, I got fired." "Fired? Why?" "Well, I was using the toilet on the port side of the ship and the handle stuck open and it kept running......I really don't want to talk about it."

[Yangarino]

ROFL

[sokjes]

laat ik nu eind deze week vertrekken met een zusterschip uit de vloot van Grimaldi.

[CH2CHCHO]

pomp dan niet de verkeerde ballast tank vol...

[basjunk]

the pomps gave out...

they pomped water in the wrong ballast tank.

i was working on another grimaldi the day before on that qauy...

[frinkgr]

WHY ARE COMMENTS NOT BEING POSTED? frinkgr

[Kevin19700]

Does anyone have any other information regarding this roll over?

[ffpombo]

este navio esteve no porto de Lisboa na SOTAGUS na viagem que antecedeu esta tragédia

[samopdrift]

Hoe krijg je t voor elkaar...?

[lojok]

a horrible view =( what a tragedy. just think what amout of moeny this will cost. I feel sorry for them...

[basjunk]

its going to be cut up to pieces i heard.

because its only worth of 28million€.

and salvige costs more.
