When a massive car carrier ended up on her side, everyone was shocked! But people started scratching their heads once they began thinking about the removal process for such a missive ship, which was full of cargo. How they finally did it, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

Hey your last rap was amazing and when are are revealing your face
Iove
Um, did you convert feet into liters at 6:18 ?
I was watching Andy’s channel for so long and missed the final cut 😭
the ship was operated by Hyundai Glovis, built by Hyundai Mipo. subsidiary of Hyundai auto, South Korean car manufacture. south Korean ships have tendency to capsize easily for some reason. MV Sewol sank similar fashion killing almost 300 students. the captain of the ship survived everyone else sank with the ship. new standard for the lowest professionalism
Remember, every ship is a submarine; some are just better at it than others.

@@gabandreialcantara4649 why did you have to comment that?
@@jameswyma9849 Bc it just brightened my day
“There are more planes in the sea than submarines in the sky” - Sun Tzu probably
Dude this is pure comedy
HAHAHA when you said "the cause was automation and AI" I was genuinely surprised, and then... "I'm kidding it was human error" was just perfectly executed, well done
When you get a good job,, but you don't want to do it.
Got me with that one too.
made LMAO
Well, the automation would have saved the day, in this case…
Got me really off guard, well done :D
I’ve made a lot of stupid mistakes in my life but it always makes me feel better to remember that I at least have never caused a multimillion dollar shipwreck.
Don’t worry, there’s still time! ☺️
I know what you mean , all 4 of my mistakes only cost a few thousand in divorce fees
you're not the costa concordia captain! it should be an affirmation we all say
yeah you can still do it man just apply yourself to that goal and you can accomplish it still
😆👏👏👏
That ending was genius. Well played. I work in shipping (with car carriers, as it happens), so it’s always fun to see such an overlooked vessel type get some attention - even if it could have been for less unfortunate reasons.
This thing has been an eyesore for two years. They're still pulling cars out of the sound and still have the oil barrier up since there's no good way to get it up at the moment.
I think it's a beautiful monument to a lazy crew
Well they can ask berbeshops to donate hairs since it's a great way of picking up oil just like using a piece of loaf to sponge out the oil on what you cooked and it's probably just free or atleast pay so little
kzhead.info/sun/n5aJnNBojWZ-l4U/bejne.html here's a link. But normal hair still pretty much works
Wow, this is a truly fascinating case! It seems we have a case of shipboard incompetence, that borders on being a case of deceptive practices. This results in a case commercial transportation becaming a navigational and environmental hazard. This triggers an environmental protection and containment response operation of huge proportions. The case then became a logistical exercise. The goal of which is to balance and coordinate an environmental cleanup operation against one of the largest salvage projects on record. The video documentation of this whole process then becomes a KZhead post, that spawns a viewer comment. This commentor interprets and describes the entire event as merely a medical case. Simply an acute case of severe conjunctivitis. So severe however, that it took two years to clear up. Worse than that though. It has now metastasized into what is being described as a case of erectile dysfunction of huge proportion and consequence.
"there's no good way to get it up at the moment." hehe
These ship jokes are amazing. Please never change!
Idk, some of these jokes were pretty ship.
@@Juno101 agree. There were some jokes that I laughed at but some were so dad-dy that I didn’t even made a face. Probably my sense of humour is not broken.
"Amazing" you say?! This was nothing more than a veritable endless stream of ship! One pun of ship piled on top of the last. One after another, then the next. Simply puns and puns of ship, creating a massive pile of ship. A metaphoric ship pun of ship if you will. And you call it "amazing"? Well then, NAY I say! "Amazing" fails to convey. Amazing can never hope To include the full scope Contained in all those lines From a misspent genius mind The guilty pleasure and fun Of the often maligned pun That was more fun than it should have been. But who am I to complain?
Deck pic, ship show lmao
Wrong.
I looked forward every day to Andy's reports. He was even out at night capturing the chain breaking through the hull. I will never forget the fire on May 13th. Excellent video of the whole process!
Remindes me of the time my father who was working at a shipyard was asked how deep a Submarine they were building could dive. The answer is "As deep as the sea is at that point, but only once" The rest is classified.
The narrator’s puns are awesome
Upvoted for the corny, but fairly well delivered, Sir-Mix-Alot ending.
Extremely corny, but equally hilarious. 😂🤣😂🤣 It got my 'thumb sup' 'aswell'. 😁
same lol
That Captain made a 500 Million dollar mistake that could’ve easily been taken care of with a couple of clicks with the automatic computers and sensors. Wow
Do you think he got fired? Wow! What s piece of work!
It wasn't most probably even the captain
Awesome footage Andy . I'm glad you were out there capturing this disaster. Thank you very much
The passive agressive "Golden ray" after saying silver lining was hilarious
I live on the north end of St. Simons Island and know the harbor pilot very well. He's a great guy and is 100% not to blame. There is an audio recording from the bridge as the ship capsized. It's harrowing to listen to. But it's great not having to look at that ship anymore. If you walk the beach on St simons Island, you can still find car parts that have washed ashore.
Yea I was at SSI on the lighthouse the literally day before the ship capsized, I have a photo looking out where the ship layed over when it was clear. Kinda crazy to think in a short time it went from being perfect to having car parts everywhere.
I live where this happened. Brunswick, Georgia. To understand how big the VB 10,000 and the Salvage cranes at the port were is amazing. You would see them all the way across town. People still talk about it today. Its been almost a year since it was all removed. Was a pretty entertaining time with all the people coming to see it.
That thing is massive huh? Impressive piece of machinery.
Excellent break down of a very complex/expensive operation. Thanks for the upload.
"that's a lot of damage" while showing the ship cut in half, loved that reference!
It's exactly what you'd think. The captain decided to not fill the ship's ballast tanks at the port because of the high seabed and tipped over on her first turn. This has happened before
Phew I'm glad they could save on filters!
I like your sense of humor. It's very organic where other channels feel forced.
Awesome video. Thank you! As horrifying as such events are for the environment the way people are approaching these challenges and finally solve them is just astonishing. Respect to everybody involved in such a process.
Pretty darn good my friend! Very enjoyable. I spent 15 years on and off at sea. Our ship was only 470’ with two interior water tight doors. Our ship was ice rated and doubled hulled. We had a occupant load of 130 people and a captain and crew who ran a very tight ship. For certain those doors were monitored and controlled from the bridge. Massive alarm were sounded when the doors were opened and closed as anything caught in the movement of those doors would be destroyed. I was fortunate indeed to have experienced a life at sea and what it took to safely operate a vessel of only half the size which was described in this piece.
yeah the mc donalds barge to the rescue ba.... ba.... ba.... ba.... bah..................
Those cars getting sold on Craigslist: "Never wrecked, runs great, only small scratches and dents, minor water damage."
Freshly washed ....
*washed inside and out
🤣 That's what I said at first but those cars were trashed. Every one of them
Even if any of those cars looked perfect they still would have been scrapped - insurance would pay for them and if they were sold they would have been a liability.
I'm in maritime school and this ship is used all the time by my teachers as an example of what not to do when talking about ship stability
7ft per minute is actually incredibly quick to cut something. Speeds and feeds of many machines cannot do that. However the scale of it is the only reason it’s cutting that “slow”.
The court finds you guilty of excessive puns, and sentences you to be keelhauled.
*”Here’s some deck pics”* Damn you’re keeling it with these puns bro…
Incredible that such a thing happened, just goes to show, even more incredible about the chief officer getting to walk away uninterviewed. Great presentation, documenting hurculean engineering and salvage work, this presenter has a good sense of humor too, loved that finale!
Yeah the chief officer should be responsible after neglecting his duties
We all make mistakes at work. Just today I forgot to add extra onions on an order and the customer wasn't happy. But did I go to jail for that?
Dude. Your channel came out of nowhere and instantly became one of my favorites, just from how you explain all these topics in an interesting and fun way, but this video with the puns and that song bit at the end just sealed the deal. You're fricken awesome. Keep it up!
I used to have a sign over my desk that said, “Why is there never enough time to do the job right the first time but always enough time to do it over?” This is probably the biggest example I have seen. However, you might’ve been right about the automation being to blame. It seems strange to me that the system wasn’t designed to just check the ballast levels automatically and send some kind of huge alarm out if things were not right. I mean all the parts were in place. Why didn’t it just do that automatically? It’s hard to say what happened, but I see a common problem. Companies will spend tons of money on fancy automated computer stuff and then try to do the training on the cheap. 🙄
I would check out Sal from 'Whats Going on With Shipping's interview with the gentleman from Minorcan Mullet. There seems to be a fair amount of evidence of sabotage or at the very least, questions regarding it. When there is such seemingly gross incompetence and disregard of alarms, it can't help but raise the question
Seems to me that someone abused a manual override.
yeah I thought it was crazy when he said the wrong ballast levels were used. Even having an auto load feature isn't enough. You would think it would take reading automatically every so often. One less thing for human to screw up.
Well, the one-time purchase of tons of money is cheaper in the longer run than the labour it's replacing
@@stinkymart3173 don’t overlook the fact that expensive equipment requires maintenance and you may be replacing workers that earn $30 an hour with technicians earning $200 an hour.
Great video, i love these deeper dives into specific content
"Deeper dives." 😄😄😄
@@skyden24195 pun intended
This was by far one of the best scripts, had me chuckling every couple minutes, and I’m still laughing after that remix at the end.
You know what I really appreciate how much effort you put into these videos your research and production is really top notch thank you for teaching me something today.
Total ship show, deck pics, ship outa luck, to name a few.... well done sir.
That ending had me rolling on the floor. 🤣
Yess xDD I absolutely didn't see that coming but I loved it!
This was one of your best vids. It was informative, humorous and entertaining. Thank you for sharing.
You had me at “Ship show” and “Deck Pix”
I actually lived in Brunswick over the summer and got the chance to see the Golden Ray very often. It happened right off the St. Simons pier and you could see it from the causeway onto the island.
I had the pleasure of living there for a year. crazy to think that went down.
Same man, i live there now
Ship storm, deck pics, bullship, no ship Sherlock, pieces of ship. I like big boats and I cannot lie! Stay classy, San Diego.
I subbed to this channel a couple weeks ago because of the vast number of subjects and mainly due to the narrator's voice plus his great humor. That is no Bullship! Shalom
I watched this, and was kind of frustrated at the start when you mentioned everything in feet and gallons, but after the first few I noticed you also wrote the metric number in the corner. That's really awesome and I just wanted to commend you on that!
Americans don't use metric. why would he put it in metric being sourced from and American? Its not overly difficult to convert it... being simple math most can do it in their heads
I lived on Saint Simon's Island for 20 years... the last couple of them, around the time of the Golden Ray's capsizing, the culture shifted around it and has remained engrained since. In fact, the shops on the pier off where the boat was capsized, vendors made products including the GR in their merch. With tag lines like "Ship happens", the Golden Ray will probably be in the Islands consciousness for a while 🤣🤣🤣
Did not know that. Thanks for sharing!
Aaaaaah, St Simon’s Island - now I get why the UNLOCODE for Brunswick is USSSI. Always was slightly curious.
I live an hour and a half away and went down to Brunswick a couple times during the duration the vessel was there, saw it first like a week or 2 after it capsized and during the removal and it was massive and the equipment used to remove it was massive pretty cool how they eventually got it done and the technical aspect of how it got done
Why did you see it "Like" a week or 2?
@@chrisclarke7828 because this was over 2 years ago when it happened and I don't remember exactly when I saw it first, I saw it a week or two after it happened, sorry I don't have a Sheldon Cooper memory
I have a ton of pictures of the wreck taken from st. Simon's Island
@@chrisclarke7828I know right. It seemed pretty clear in the video that this has taken approximately two years. Why would this commentor describe it as if it was two weeks? No Sheldon Cooper memory, but a Valley Girl vocabulary.
@@bob2161 no idea, l was not concentrating on the commentator, l never allow sound when its a yankee voice because l am prone to vomiting.
You don't mention it for some reason, but the cutting up of the ship and the salvage was done by SMIT, who do incredible work. They also did the same kind of job on the Tricolor in the English channel, and were the company that cut the bow off the Russian nuclear sub Kursk, and then recovered the sub.
T&T salvage was the contractor for the salvage operation. I worked on site for the entirety of the removal.
SMIT did work on Betelgeuse in Bantry Bay at Whiddy Island
@@smokie3248 Ya, originally it was SMIT, and they were starting the work, and it was going really well, but they provided a realistic timeframe and cost for the removal, and T&T said they could do it much faster and cheaper, so SMIT was replaced. And apparently T&T didn't do a very good job.
Really Amazing how the salvaging operation gracefully completed the HUGE hideous task!!! Loved the time lapse recording 🤙🏽🇬🇧👍🏽🇺🇸💯💯💯🙏🏼
Saw capsized car carrier. Said, "ah, the Cougar Ace". Narrator "Golden Ray..." Me: How often does that model of boat do that?
There's an entire wikipedia page for RoRo disasters - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_roll-on/roll-off_vessel_accidents
I grew up on SSI and still have family there. The wreck was easily seen from the pier and was a huge mess. After two years of this eyesore I am relived it has been removed.
"It was a total ship show" 🤣 I love the humor you add. 🤙
Dude, you really float my boat. You, sir, are the shipnit!
I've quit "Liking" videos after they quit showing the the "dislike" counts, but this video deserved a "like".
Didn't even thought that will be interested in ship crashes, ever, but your delivery just hypnotizes! Good vid!
Some of your best lines so far!
One of the best Yet!! Funny informative and entertaining!! Thanks
Oh my, that was your best video by far so far. I had so much fun listening to the multi "ship" puns and the Sir Mix A Lot song was the ultimate killer. He sounded like a Russian Count Dracula. Lol
I still can't comprehend how a chain can cut an entire ship roronoa zoro style, I understand that it can damage it, but metal being cut like that, holy crab
Imagine the tension applied to that chain
Its easier if you think of the chain ripping the ship apart instead of cutting.
Ripping under high tension.
Wow the number of puns that were made may have set some sort of record. I loved it.
Wow! Love this channel! Cant believe you covered this!?!?!?! Im about an hour outside of Brunswick and remember when this happened
That crane is really impressive! The US does build some impressive things!
1:19 - "here are some deck pics" prolly a pun ahahahaha
Gotta say, this is the most spiced up short documentary channel I have ever encountered
I gave your video my very rare, and highly coveted, thumbs up button smash for the Sir Mix A Lot cover at the end. That was pretty creative.

I am apart of the Civil Air Patrol Squadron in Savannah. I have flown over the ship a lot and have some cool areal footage. I remember when it sank and hearing about all of the fires that broke out. It’s amazing it took them 2 years to finally remove it.
@@curved8657 I have a separate, personal KZhead channel
CAP is a great program that offers great opportunities such as low cost to getting your pilots license and other careers that you can explore. I recommend joining your nearest squadron as a cadet if you are 12-18 or joining as a senior member of you are 18 or older. It’s a great nonprofit. I will make a post about it on my KZhead channel
these cross sections are amazing to look at. just love this channel.
Excellent - very interesting, thank you. Also shoutout for the number of ship/t-related puns you got in. Nice!
How we're taught: "You must come up with creative and intuitive solutions to complex problems" These people: " *Alright boys, get out the saws* "
I remember the day that this happened. I was on Saint Simons Island the day after and it was impossible to find any parking nearby to go get a look. Considering SSI is better than Tybee my wife and I go down there a few times a year since it's not that far. I'm going to miss that big hunk of metal in the channel. It sure was an interesting landmark for the last two years. Also, the sandy path of beach across the channel from SSI is where they filmed the coast scenes for The Walking Dead.
Get one of the many T-shirt’s or mugs 😂 port city Brunswick has my favorite. It says clean your ship up
I happened to be staying on st. Simon's Island a couple months after she sank. It was a crazy sight to see a vessel so massive sitting out there on her side in the sound
i've been watching the Mullet's channel regularly, what a chit show this has been, thanks for putting it in a short video, first i'd heard about the doors left open.
Hi, i've seen before pictures about the removing a ship like this in the bay of biscay, but not see the sawchain, only the shipcuts, it was impressive, but see it in action is great, well done :-) I thought too, it was a large wire with something especial to cut metal, it's surprising see an "simple" anchorage chain cutting a ship. Thanks for show us all this. And the chronography and numbers of all that accident.
I love your videos, also you voice is so soothing.
I'm not gonna lie this video deserved a sub, thank you for bring this to my knowledge.
Your content is always so interesting, insightful, and hilarious!
That solo in the end really hit the spot
Your awful puns always put a smile on my face. And that ending had me rolling!
Fantastic narration in this video!
Boy, I am jealous,your sharp wit and puns made this video entertaining and easy to watch(and of course educational)but more important this was fun
Great video! I love the combo of humor and well researched videos with lots of footage. My parents saw that lifter heading to the Sound, it’s huge! Keep up the good work!
These Dad level puns are really floating my spirits in these trying times.
That rap deserves a Grammy, an Emmy & a Tubey Award!
Loved your puns!!! Especially the last one!
My brother is an airline pilot. The thought processes that sank that ship would never happen in the airline industry.
yeah ships are less strict about this stuff
Makes sense, I can't really picture a 737 listing 90 degrees with zero casualties
Yeah, who would ever enter in the wrong calculations on an airplane? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider
Come on be truthful we have all left a airplane ✈️ door open on a flight or two, nobody's perfect.
Or imagine an A380, fully loaded fall off the sky
I went to St Simon’s last Summer and was able to see this ship still capsized in the water. Just a crazy sight.
lmao! not sure what was my favourite, the deck pics pun, or the little rap at the end haha
this was wonderfully high-effort. You're KEELING it!
The wreck of the SS Normandie in 1942 was bigger than this one. It displaced about 80,000 tons and was 1,029 feet long.
That was my first thought when I read the title. That I wanted to check the figures.
I absolutely love this! The puns and comic observations let alone the unique educational content! Great stuff, I’m loving it!! 😍😂🙌
Wow that was amazing whenever you song cappella with Sir Mix-A-Lot!!
The end was absolutely amazing. Perfect execution.
Hi, I want more videos like this, they are very interesting
Bro I lived in Brunswick my whole life this was the craziest thing I've seen in my life i got pictures of it and what not i really was a site to see im very glad its gone just really upset on the nastiness it released on our shores and life but they did a very good clean up
Oh ship, these puns were on point! There was no sinking feeling about that, they did just float right... 😇😁😁😁
This one of your best videos for sure
These kinds of cleanup operations often feature incredible feats of planning and engineering. 🤯
The cleanup was mostly paid for by Hyundai Glovis who owned the ship and unironically have the same patrent company as alot of the cargo.
Easily my favorite channel on KZhead 😂😂😂
Really really fascinating video my friend! Well done!
I like your content so keep it up and have a good day
i like this video, it’s just good interesting and educational content that is also entertaining! plus no product promotions or ads included which is another awesome thing about your channel. keep up the great work
Thank you. We do promotions from time to time though 😉
GREAT narration! Love your rap at end, too! 😆 Awesome!
