I thought schittino was bad but this prick had the nerve, the gall and the audacity to just abandon all his passengers without even a word of warning, he was lucky no one died no thanks to him. And a massive amount of respect to the entertainment crew for managing to evacuate the entire ship with zero casualties.

The fact that you call out scoundrels who have no business captaining ships is one of the things I like about you. It shows that you have saltwater in your veins, Sam. The sea is beautiful and full of mystery, but it is powerful beyond our comprehension and utterly unforgiving. My dad was a captain, mostly of small sailing vessels, and I grew up on the water and learned to love and deeply respect the sea. To put it succinctly, it is no place to f*ck around, and I will always applaud the way you tell it like it is with these sea clowns. Thanks for all your great work.

There's a difference between being in shock and having to take a moment to collect yourself (understandable in such a situation) and just ignoring everybody throughout the sinking and then trying to abandon the ship, leaving behind hundreds of people to fend for themselves.

This Captain makes Schettino look like a Saint

[Tdaboy]

Sam you had a right to rage at this selfish man who doesn’t care about his passengers

[MakerInMotion]

If Sam ever covers the sinking of the Korean ferry MV Sewol, the rage meter will fill up and explode before he can get 1/4 through the story.

[Steve-gcnt]

He wasn't just a terrible Captain, he was a terrible human being.

[urmomsonmydick]

the rage meter was making me laugh so hard 😭 never change sam

[jimland]

Moss Hill is an absolute legend!

edit: I haven't even watched the video, but the fact that Moss Hill was a big damn hero twice as an entertainer is amazing.

[SezFrancis]

Honestly, this has to be one of the most horrific sinkings I've heard! The Captain is such a jerk and should have been punished! 😡

But well done to all the entertainment staff; so brave and heroic! 👏👏👏

Great video as always Sam; cannot wait for the next one 🙂

[Brandyalla]

If this is going to turn into a series of "Worst Reactions to a Sinking by The Captain" you should definitely cover the Sewol. Whoo boy

[willpat]

Sam, I'm surprised Moss Hill wasn't mentioned by name here. He was a hero in TWO SHIP

[loganhuffgarden]

The Oceanos is the perfect example of how a captain should not act like on a sinking ship. The behavior of the captain of this ship is down right unacceptable, An absolute disgrace of a captain.

[CriticalMaster]

Captain Avranas was actually defended by Epirotiki Line. He continued to command ships after the accident until his retirement. This is a quote from Captain Alevizos Klaudatos, the head of Epirotiki Line:
"Of course the crew members assigned to the boats have to enter first in order to assist the embarkation of the passengers", "as regards the captain abandoning the vessel, this is untrue and he has maintained his position throughout in assisting the rescue in the most effective way".
Make of that what you will.

[commanderbunny]

The fact that: the guitarist, his wife, the bass player and a magician are the main people who saved the people on this and not the damn crew is insane

[IloveCruiseShips]

Really loved it when Sam Raged at 18:59,
Great video as always, keep up the good work

[FullSizeBronco]

I was just a kid when this happened, but remember the extensive news coverage about it quite well.
The lack of professionalism by so many captains is appalling these days. Can you imagine an airline pilot like this guy? Unreal!

[davidmacfarlane]

You should do a video of the 2014 sinking of the South Korean ferry Sewol! The crew and Captain's actions aboard the Sewol were also very similar to the Oceanos, if not worse. This captain deserves you to unleash the entire fury of your rage towards him!

[brave_jedi]

It’s okay to rage every once in awhile Sam. Just as long as you try and calm yourself down between them. I nearly raged out at work last week, right in front of my shift leaders, but I immediately calmed myself down, and apologized to them

[ninjamasterbuilder]

Sam: oh no the rage meter is full

Sam: *begins raging at the Oceanos captain for being to within himself and not caring about the passengers
Also I think this is Sam's most rage video
