p.3 Real Navigation Officer Reacts to Costa Concordia Q&A

After reviewing ‘’The cost of Concordia’’, it was only natural to also cover ‘’Costa Concordia Q&A’’ from internet Historian. Just like my previous video, my intent is not to actively bash the work done by the folks at Internet Historian, but to give extra professional comments on the whole narration.

I also have to say that this has been an honor to appear in this video. Words are failing to say how grateful I am.

On 13 January 2012 at 21:45, Costa Concordia struck a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the eastern shore of Isola del Giglio. This tore open a 50 m (160 ft) gash on the port side of her hull, which soon flooded parts of the engine room, cutting power from the engines and ship services. As water flooded in and the ship listed, she drifted back towards the island and grounded near shore, then rolled onto her starboard side, lying in an unsteady position on a rocky underwater ledge.

The evacuation of Costa Concordia took over six hours, and of the 3,229 passengers and 1,023 crew known to have been aboard, 32 died. Francesco Schettino, the ship's captain at that time, was subsequently found guilty of manslaughter, causing a maritime accident, and abandoning his ship. The wreck was salvaged three years after the incident and then towed to the port of Genoa, where scrapping operations began.

Over all, Internet Historian did an amazing job. It was a very accurate summary of all the events surrounding the Costa Concordia. And at the same time, fun and entertaining to watch. I can’t recommend it enough. You can find the link to his video over here:

A little bit about myself: I used to work as a navigation officer for the Canadian Coast Guard fleet for more than four years. I also did my training at the Coast Guard College in Cape Breton. I took part on multiple operations around the country, including the Arctic. Nowadays, I enjoy a comfortable life on shore. I still work for the Coast Guard, but from the office. A drastic change in my everyday life, but it gave me the opportunity to do youtube videos like this one.

Got any movie or video game related to the navigation world you would like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you for watching!
