Emma Maersk ON FIRE - World's Largest Container Ship

[zarniwoop42]

Wow that sucks. At least it was not at sea. Most likely would've lost her.

[Guildforsucks]

During construction welding caused a fire on Emma Maersk 20006<---according to Wikipedia

[pmkealey]

it was iranins with rpgs

[hudelson85]

wires problem

[08krecker]

that guy in the end is probably thinking this is like pissing in the ocean

[P4W370Z64]

EMMA I LOVE YOU

I WORK ON HER :)

[alpingcebupacific123]

@P4W370Z64 what happen???

[alpingcebupacific123]

@P4W370Z64 why she is on fire???

[schrap72]

OMG.......

[sebjuanthefirst]

I was ironing and then Mum rang about the roof. It has been leaking badly she said. So I left my cabin because the signal was poor and went out side the ship. Next thing I know some idiot has started a fire and I will find him your Honour. When I do that man will be punished for his mistake. My pants were completely ruined in that fire and Iost my shirt with the Gold braid and I am not happy. We will endeavour to find who is responsible our Worship, I give you my word on this. DOH!

[zlatko780]

this is not a Emma Maersk

[hall9OOO]

@zlatko780

not the new emma.

i'm not shure but i think i heared that it give an old emma maersk......?

[zlatko780]

wtf

[labka2]

People stop guessing !!!! follow the link at description, below video, read the whole story and keep calm !!!!!!

And if you dont like chineese shit then manufacture top quality products in your own country (provided have enough money to pay).

[Smithyards]

I notice a distinct lack of fire fighting going on, mind you, an interior attack on that would be suicidal.

[tjlay96]

dang ill bet thats expensive

[TheMrRedbullrocks]

the captain should stop smoking in the bridge

[Mr73581251]

Accident? it,s seems impossible! There were someone or something mistake according my experience.

[eduardodeleon1]

Again and again...keep the matches out of reach of children!

[lampost1]

Deckies spilt their coffee on the console again...

[kenfo0]

anyone know what caused it? anyone hurt?

[GeorgeVeld]

bucket's we neeed buckets

[malvern666]

This is when they were building the ship

[tomz2chokolade]

@malvern666 lol. how do know that?

[malvern666]

@tomz2chokolade I read it somewhere, it was from welding I think

[xxbigt206xx]

Looks like wal-mart isn't getting their next shipment

[HannahsNursery]

Dear Emma, Hows it all going? I had some 'little friends' to set you alight. See you down there, the two sisters,

Titanic and Britannic P.S meh..the biggest ship in the world....

[tomz2chokolade]

@HannahsNursery this ship is 397 meters and titanic was only 265 or 300 meters

[HannahsNursery]

@tomz2chokolade And? Your point is?

[kenfo0]

@HannahsNursery stupid. what is wrong with you?

[HannahsNursery]

@kenfo0 Nothing, what about you?

[kenfo0]

@HannahsNursery I didn't ask IF there is something wrong with you...there clearly is. I just don't know what to call it, other than "stupid, attn-seeking a-hole". Me? I'm what used to be called a normal man. Today, it draws all sorts of invective from losers, idiots and scumbags. Doesn't phase me one bit. Good luck w/whatever "it" is.

[webchieftain]

Omg... i would have stop the fire by only having a pee on it...

[kenfo0]

@webchieftain how would you squat that high, girlie?

[chriscute1]

if filifino the captain in that ship no fire in the bridge . change the crews in filipino

[Mamulea]

this happened during contstruction

[calebharry]

thats sad

is she alright

[InvasorEspacial007]

Someone should sink the ship, so the fire is out.

[MrJholand7]

it smells money..

[scoff6593]

friggin candles round the bath again

[tmitchell6]

how does it feel to watch it burn, burn?

[TheMb153]

look like its going to fall or sink merry christmas

[TheMb153]

look like its going to fall or sink

[johnlumain]

..well sometimes no matter how carefull we are..accidents do happen..the ship is on building stage inside the shipyard..i dont think we can blame the captain and the crew..

[pushermus]

The fire was at newbuilding stage in Odense Steelshipyard , Lindoe. Denmark.

They took the accomodation from the next ship in the series and mounted this.

Some Wooden staging was set on fire by welding.

[MannyHMo]

Was it a Filipino crew that caused the Titanic to sink ? Just wondering. LOL

When you're a crew member, your life depends on the other members and their lives depend also on you. I don't think anyone can be allowed to be negligent or careless inside the ship.

[76mrsailor]

@MannyHMo nuts

[76mrsailor]

@MannyHMo pathethic

[manos3790]

Don't know if it survived? But my obsevation's state that it wz a poor and futile attempt at trying to quench it in the first place.

[blindzzz27]

that's a big shipp.......how come that there's only few firemens on the scene...?

did the ship survived?

[MrMarineEngineer04]

petbruk, you're jealous with the filipino seafarers, i've been with them for many years and i can say that they are all competent and true blooded sailors and taking care of the ship like their own home. well for you to know, I am a Third Engineer onboard Maersk tanker vessel and they serve the company better other than any asian seafarer. How about you buddy? are you a seafarer?

[glennis3]

Nobody eliminates jobs like Walmart. This ship constructed to require only 13 people to operate it.

[youngdones]

What caused the fire? Where did it start?

[VARITHMS]

10 Story ship, 9 story water cannon.

[LoopyTheBubblebrain]

145million and no fire extinguisher... it's a man thing lol

[antihubshock1]

i think its for insurance heheheh

[tupsumato]

@antihubshock1, I don't think the insurance paid anything but rebuilding.

[carbonsnail]

What set her ablaze?

[sk8hate1]

a women must of left the stove on

[noel6158]

i was in emma maersk my captain is captain marios my C\h is moller 

[superscotman]

Who did leave the stove on??? That's crazy!!

[roibaird7]

the blackpan!

[krashdown102]

it would be funny if this happened in London

[WaiWu]

Dam it woman! I told you to stay home.....!

[veterannz]

I think this happened during construction

[1dadandson]

bummer

[petbruk]

Other than cheap labour there is nothing more to it. And of course, phillipino crew do longer shifts onboard (6 months on/3 months of), no overtime, crewchanges done by crewboats insted of helicopers+++ The list goes onandonandon... CHEAP LABOUR!!!!

[narnasqueneth]

@petbruk

philippino may be cheap but whome to blame? Danish owners? German owners? or other fuckig European owners or management companies? Why they are cheap? because Europeans do not see these people as a human being and keep them on board 9 months.Dont they have families or wife,children,feelings? They are the best seaman I have ever seen and met. They must not be kept on board more than 6 monts at the max

[bigwaliper1]

@narnasqueneth in reality anybody could be off shore for upto 12 months thats what the cap is

[Endorfinjunkie]

@narnasqueneth at least at the big ships with european charterers its more like being 8 Weeks on board and 8 weeks where ever they want...

[themidnightdaylight]

I don't know anything about this ship, but I'm curious, was it saved ?

[Pickupotto]

@themidnightdaylight Yes she was saved and she was the 1 of 8 built. With 14770 TEU.

[LGTheOneFreeMan]

@themidnightdaylight Something that fucking big, you have no choice to continue forward unless the hull has melted into the ground.

[Marvcohen]

someone should find some water..............somewhere

[deelkar]

@Marvcohen and maybe, just maybe, a pump to pump it into the 20th floor.

[schilviu]

@Marvcohen If you imagine that your comment is a joke or spiritual, you wrong..! You never boarded a ship and as a consequence you can't imagine what happened there. Once the fire breaks, is almost impossible to stop it.

[Rimouski418]

Hum...Call your insurance broker...

[gav12806]

what happened her was she scrapped or rebuilt???

[iskate553]

wal-mart is fucked now

[mayankducati]

ohhhh...i cant see my compny ship like tht

[luisbeck007]

Hi you can watch my website with the most complete Humanoid Robot list in the World and interesting issues...

[BigMacProDaddy]

Uhm, What happened?

[akhansen82]

@BigMacProDaddy the ship burned.

[ACEGR1]

how it happend ?

[belzebob07]

LOL in this situation it's not about COLREG.

[belzebob07]

what the hell happened to the emma maerk,it is because of the neglligence of the crew of the ship.shit!

[middsteve]

BS ...Bush set it on fire!!

[haakonvestby]

Foxdmulder:

Peter Griffin left the electric blanket on.

I talket to him about it yesterday, and he is really sorry for that.

[ghosterdude]

ouch!

good thing it wasn't sailing.

a fire at sea is a sailor worst nightmare.

[Hausamr]

EMMA has a fire on board. It was before she made her first ride. It was in the shipyard in Odense/Denmark.

Than they have to build some thinks new. But it is still a very great ship.

[johnsenkenn]

If it is not Emma, then who is it.

[trinityroughneck]

who left the stove on?

[meringandan]

maybe a chip fat fire in th galley LOL

[10boyle13]

@trinityroughneck uh deff not the stove..................... talk on the radio get too hot???

[Flangebenders]

Fire was during construction, welding cockup

[foxdmulder]

the Emma maresk never had a fire on board,

P.s Who left the electric blanket on?

[Jenytedeschi]

It's not Emma !

[NikolajJakobsen]

THIS IS EMMA MAERSK!

[jackietraver]

This is not Emma Maersk

[hms557]

this is not Emma Maersk !

[satweavers]

Ooops!

[mstaff657]

I would say the set the ship on fire for insurance.

who else would the bridge burn so hot

[Ruodhaid]

the man that owns the ships has more then 1.8 billion dollas, im pritty sure i wont burn his ships to get more

[mstaff657]

just because someone has lots of money does not mean they are not capable of insurance fraud

[Titanicsailer1912]

Im from Denmark and i know what happened. it was a wlding spark that startet the fire in the weelhouse and then spread to the rest of the stearing house

[more4life10]

@Titanicsailer1912 makes sense, sucks because they where almost done with her

[yeesnaw]

only the rofl copter can save them now!

haha, i would love to see sombody on the inside of that window.

[anusfeatures]

I heard a flip left the toaster on. Stupid cunts

[youngdones]

What started the fire?

[dyingangelo]

what happened?!!!

[TheElephant79]

Holy crap...

[vankalabaw]

i happen to know 4 Filipino captain (seaman) 2 on cargo and the other 2 on oil tanker. if they're incompetent, i guess the shipping company is incompetent, that's like saying maersk is incompetent... think about it... just passing by... PEACE man.

[theblink]

I've met quite a lot of Filipino seafarer's, they're better off as ratings. Hard workers and creative people also rather pleasant but I've never come across a good Pinoy Officer.

[jeff454ss]

If I was in charge of that ship none of you fuckin retards would come on board. My goodness just think of what would happen had it been in service. Go USA all the way!!!!

[aioshimike]

nah im a korean' for all of the info' yeah' filipinos was hired at cheap prices' that because of their own landcrisis get it' for us korean we acknowldge or neighboring country' didnt you no that phillipines was the 2nd wealthies country at late 60S? too bad their goverment was suck' after their president have kickoff' because of martiallaw'

[cobra2359]

AP Moller Maersk Singapore started to hire Filipino Masters in 2008 and my husband was one them.. He was in command of Maersk Welkin, now Hoegh Chiba for 2 consecutive terms and now on board Maersk Arizona for his second year with the company..latest development in the company is that the crewing center East was moved to Singapore last

August 2009 and Manila will handle the crewing of the container vessels effective January 2010. This is another good news for the Filipinos seafarers...

[jayrsantos]

johnhar271 is obviously an idiot. this is still being built, so no basis for such comment.

and you are just being bitter :)

i work for Maersk shipmanagement. And for christ' sake's it is "Filipinos"

[Liam7272]

U Philippinos should calm the hell down! if you knew johnhar and the tard below me, you could kick their asses but you don't. Besides you guys couldn't drive a ship on fire anyway. so dont be so cocky.

[ivanasskickah]

can you drive a ship on fire? who could? why do these fuckin retards insult us filipinos? are we liable for what happened to this ship, besides it happened while it was being built! obviously there are no crew onboard it.

[chenn007]

this accident happened due to a careless dunderhead from filipino

[ivanasskickah]

you think so? hey dumbass, this incident happened at the shipyard. while it was still being built. obviously, there are no crew onboard it! so why do you ssay it happened due to a careless dunderhead filipino? shut the fuck up motherfucker! if you happen to be here in the philippines, i'd shove your head inside johnhar's ass!! fuck off!

[cats400]

fuck off asshole

[petbruk]

@ivanasskickah Well, most Fillipinos are sloppy and take shortcuts onboard ships. I work with a bunch of them, so I know. As you say, this fire started at the yard, but in general they have bad attitudes. Say one thing and do another.

[BlueonGoldZ]

@petbruk then why are they the most favored to operate ships. If you were right, despite the cheap labor, they wouldnt be held in such high regard.

[shurah001]

hey

johnhar271

what did you just say? we filipinos are untrained??

hey dumbass,, i my self is a Nautical Student here in the Philippines, and you know what?

we had a Lots of Scholar student that was own by the Norwegian Shipping owners, not just only Norwegian but also Japan, and etc...and don't just insult filipino seaman, because my uncle was a Captain of a international car Ship, and there's nothing happened to the car ship...because WE ARE A WORLD CLASS SEAFARER!!...haahhaah...

[gradimir12]

@shurah001

you may have schools and etc., but there are no schools to change and teach you on a different mentality. Its like every time somebody doesnt follow the COLREG and starts bargaining on the radio for how to follow the rules, you can be sure is a Filipino officer. For the ratings, yes, i agree, you are exellent.

[gradimir12]

[sambot9]

is this real?

[ivanasskickah]

hey asshole!! how dare you insult us filipinos? if we filipino seamen are that incompetent, why are you badass motherfuckers replaced by us?? why do huge shipping companies trust us? cos u stinking faggots are incapable of handling huge responsibilities! and u fuckers are way incompetent!! fuck off!!!

[juuls26]

Because your cheap labour plus you don't hold any high rank position in Mærsk sorry have nothing against filipinoes but if can show otherwise at least in terms of Mærsk then show me!

[Snowboard4546]

hey retard they hire u filipinos cuase u r cheap labor and u filipinos come to america to get better jobs then the shit ones in filipino land

[AAD030]

@Snowboard4546 I know it is annoying that the Job for you was given to Filipinos. I may see that besides of the cheap labor, Filipinos can deliver the task equally to what you can give or even better. So if I am the owner of the company, why should I hire you if I can hire Filipinos who can do your job? Can you see the point?

[JetMechMA]

@AAD030 The question is, who's side are YOU on? Are you with us or against us? That's all that matters now. Because a cultural revolution is coming. Who's side are you on?

[emilen2]

I would not trust anyone with a mouth like this to even control a tugboat toy in a bathtub. :)

[scanman2012]

That is the Emma maersk, or one of the e class as i compared it with a photo

[diverngpuque]

seamanrobbers----this is for you asshole!oh you've earn 60k a year? how cheap your salary is, ahh i know maybe ur just a poor! captains boy, who got extra bucks for sucking his dick! poor boy!

[seamanrob]

you really are one sad little man. Cheap, and sad.

[JtsGreene]

I don't even have to see the whole conversation to tell you to go to hell....

[jimmywrangles]

You can't even spell properly and everything you say is filth.

Typical of your country though.

[sunsetreptiles]

how did this start

[egoetrexmeus]

DO NOT SMOKE ON THE BRIDGE! lol

[zargawikhale3]

this is not emma maersk

[wannoraindosh]

dats not emma mearsk !!!!

[goodluckpeace44]

isnt it?

[Koggenversenker]

thats not at all emma maersk!

We have pnly seen the accomodations of fire, and nothing else.

It s not Emma!!!

[stockshunter]

The captains received alot of vodkas as a gratitude when they sailed from Russia's port.

[Irrit8d]

How can that float, it's made of metal. Everybody knows that metal sinks.

[childrenwithcancer]

dumb cunt

[stockshunter]

Buoyancy

[angelicsnoww]

no you idiot

[carmiePANSY]

stupid asshole

[SuperFckFan92]

It can float due to arkimedes law that states that an objekt has an equal amount of up rise as the objekt displaces

simple fysics

[gonein7]

objekt=object

fysics=physics

simple spelling,simple person.

[CharIiePresents]

irrit8d it can float because of in 1234 a man called sheldon wasamar found on the island of chiridamos tiny little working animals called goyas. he took these men and told them to kick there legs when under his hollowd out tree, the result is it could float... then 600 years later a man called dunken retar put the same method on steel and it worked!! it was a miricle

[ptakpiorko]

why that happend ?

[johnhar271]

it happened because trained proffesional mariners are replaced with cheap untrained Philippinos. The Mexican laborers of the sea

[THENAMEISREMYSON]

Shit that was so bad, someone trying to get out and getting cooked to shit then just flopping out :'''''(

[DaManzMoney]

Is tis the one that just got hijacked

[mariners8704]

No...that was a much smaller containership the Maersk Alabama

[nexprotein28]

On the Bridge there is no fuel, no combustibles. Nothing really to ignite. Compare it with the Engine Room..which has a million things the Captain is unaware of that may catch fire. Yet the Bridge catches fire. Executive command on board ships must go from Captains. They don't know how ships run.

[Persicanada]

lol, ok, so a captain which has had a minimum of 10 years at sea isn't aware of combustibles in an engine room...omg wtf bbq LOL

[pantheonsgade]

Att. jenskolli.

This IS Emma Maersk, still under construction at Odense SteelShipyard, Denmark, June 2006

[jenskolli]

This is NOT Emma Maersk!!

[Paraffinmeister]

Nope, I think you'll find it is!

[flight110]

Damn, that sucks.

[SpartanHunt3r60]

"Video by fire brigade"

Uhm...correct me if I'm wrong...but aren't they supposed to put out the fire, not record it?

[terryhfs]

Fire brigades video record their efforts and use them in training and analysis. It means that they get better at putting fires out.

[GigaMinion]

that can just be repaired, right? lol

[Olhado256]

Are ships supposed to be this flammable? What if it had happened at sea?

[baptistekab]

we have a special fire fighting training during our studies. And believe me, it burns :)
