at first your voice reminded me of a 7th grade boy. but the way you read was fantastic! you should have got first place

[Gallop1234]

@captainofthetitanic um...the way you wrote this makes me think it is more a insult that a compliment.. soo thanks??????????????????????

[ShadowGuardian3337]

The most significant naval disasters that COULD have been avoided! Most of these ships could still be afloat if only people would LEARN from previous disasters! But at least this disaster didn't have someone saying "we could get to point a faster if we just sped up a little'

[Gallop1234]

@ShadowGuardian3337 Not to be rude or anything, but why are you writing random things on my video?

[OilCrash]

Very informative, thorough and well made! Congratulations, Gallop1234!

[Gallop1234]

@OilCrash Thank you.. The reason it is so informative is because we need to tell the story of the historical event in 10 mins.

This was an excellent presentation about the Andrea Doria Stockholm accident.

Well done.

@Gallop1234 - I think your project is very good - very good information. dont pay attention to those that have to criticize.

Great video! I had just turned 10 the the ship sunk and remember seeing the limited things they showed on the news. Thanks for taking me back!

I am an Ocean Liner expert, and when I watched this video, I noticed that you put in details that were crucial to the point. I think you did an amazing job.

Totally enjoyed it. You should be proud of yourself.

Great job on this video, young lady. I've been fascinated by this subject since reading "Collision Course" way way back, even before I spent four years in the Coast Guard (in Mass..: ). Keep up the good work.

[dragin331]

Very nicely done.

[metube336]

Excellent job.

One point: The ship is named for a man and as such should be pronounced "An-DRAY-A Doria". Don't worry; nobody pronounces it properly...just a pet peeve of mine :)

[Gallop1234]

@kevincohenrox Um.. I am a girl.. and the whole voice thing being hot.. is kinda a little bit sketchy.. JUST SAYING

[scraplife]

Nice work! I was looking for a diving video and came upon this and watched the whole thing. Lots of info in a short package, good job!

[ShadowGuardian3337]

@Gallop1234 That's not about random things. I've been reading about this ship since I first heard of it back in the late 80's early 90's, this isn't the first Liner lost where a lesson hasn't been learned.
