NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE Ship Propellers

Diver nearly gets killed after getting close to a ships propeller as the engines turn on

The scariest thing is the bad quality of this animation.

Having worked as a commercial diver. I worked boats where I had to service the propellers of the boat when something got stuck in them. We have lockout procedures to prevent someone inadvertently starting the engines while we are in the water.

A minute of silence for the kid who thought this was real😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

On cargo ships, especially ones this size take around 10 minutes to get the propellers to around %60 spin speed, it takes very long because they are so big.

When I was in the coast guard we would board large ships and when we would transfer from our 41 footer we had to climb up this tiny ass ladder, and my fear was always falling in and getting sucked into the screws, I couldn’t think of anything more terrifying, except maybe driving with my mother in law.

Bro combined 2 of my biggest phobias together without a warning

[Fury.]

Still safer than those who were on the titan submersible

Aboard merchant ships, signs are posted everywhere "Diver in the Water" and various means are used to ensure that the prop will not be turned for any reason until the divers are out of the water.

Rule number one. Never get close to any propeller

Something similar happened in the Navy. I was on an aircraft carrier (USS JFK CV-67), and we were doing an underway replenishment with a tender ship. We were traveling side by side about 120 ft. apart. There was cargo, jet fuel, and diesel marine going between our ships. All of a sudden, the two ships started to merge together at a rapid speed. I was on the fantail watching the action. The collision alarm started sounding off, and all of the fuel lines started seperating along with the cargo lines that contained munitions, missiles, and food. Everything fell into the ocean. Then, just like that, the two ships started separating and going into different directions. An investigation found the cause of the near collision was that an electrician accidentally turned off the aft rudder controls so he can fix a water fountain. He got his rank taken from an E-6 down to an E-3.

[amazing]

pow: the propeller goes to the other direction💀

[MurasakiToshiko]

This is literally my thalasophobia, megalophobia, and submechanophobia combined.

In the Navy they would pass the word. "There are divers working over the side, do not rotate screws, cycle rudders, take suction from or discharge to the sea".😮

Before the engine start the engineers will usually row the engine and the propeller first at a super slow speed and that will be a warning sign for any people that are still in there. The officers will usually check to make sure there’s proper propeller clearance before that tho

[mahir]

The good thing is that they weren't in reverse

[AdakStillStands]

5 blades pass before he bolts.
That's 4.5 too many.

Rule number one "how to die": Dont do what this guy did. The best rule is the rule 34

[survivingbehindliberallines]

"Who's in the water, Smithers?" "ALL ASTERN." "DAMN IT, I SAID ASTERN, NOT NOW SMITHERS GOT 😅😅😅

My buddy was a Navy diver, now he's an underwater tech and welder. He tells me personal tales like this and it gives me nightmares. Breathing underwater is something else
