The Story Of The Oceanos

Back in the early 1990's came an incredible event, most now, don't remember or know about. It was an event that ended with the sinking of a family cruise ship and an incredible air rescue all while the captain had already escaped. This is the story of the sinking, of the Oceanos.

Moss Hills, the entertainer, was the last person off the ship. Hero!

That Captain though... "If people want to stay they can stay."
...on a sinking Ship?

[PatrickWagz]

The "Captain" says, " *IF* the passengers *WANT* to stay..."


yea, I'm sure they are having a blast, and don't want to leave!!!

[Arterexius]

It gets a bit more awkward when you realize that Moss Hills, the guitarist, singer and one of the entertainers, have survived the sinking of two cruise ships, the second being the MS Achille Lauro, which caught fire in the Indian Ocean and started sinking. Moss Hills used what he learned on the Oceanos and helped people to safety. He refuses to stop entertaining on cruise ships and still sails.

The entertainment staff are real heroes

cruise ship singer: uh, ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm, but it appears I am now the captain...

She was a great ship, she held onto life to ensure all her passengers got off before letting go...

[PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

I still find it staggering that the Captain, Officers and Engineers weren't jailed! This could have resulted in hundreds of lives lost by their inaction.

When you said every passenger got safely off the ship I never been so happy, I am so happy they all lived

[suapman]

So my uncle was one of the Helicopter Pilots who helped rescue those passengers.
He passed away on the 27th at 62, very suddenly.
I was amazed when I saw this came up on youtube just a day after, he would be proud.

RIP Uncle Graham. You were such a Badass.

Titanic: Goes down vertical
Costa Concordia: captain abandons ship
Oceanos : lemme have both

[realburglazofficial]

Two entertainers not only coordinated the rescue of the passengers, they went below to assess the damage to the ship and its rate of sinking _AND_ went to the bridge to establish comms with the rescue helicopters!
Legends!

[johnboy]

The Titanic band would be proud of those entertainers.

Captain: “psst hey kid... you wanna wear the captain’s hat?”

[nyc_gabe]

"Remind you of anyone?" YES THE CONCORDIA CAPTAIN

[partybear]

To the Oceanos, thank you for holding on until every one of your passengers was safe. You were a great ship

[Paul-ourx]

"The captain goes down with the ship."
Captian: You never said what ship.

[MrCrumpets]

Captain to random passenger: “Look at me! Look at me! YOU are the captain now!

[gigagaming]

That moment when your cruise ship musicians do a better job at helping out than your own captain.

[MrFlacogst]

The crew who abandoned ship WHILE telling everyone that everything is ok should have been charged with 500+ counts of attempted murder....
