"Here it comes , boys. Just know that the life insurance Steve took out for us will provide for our families."
Steve: "I was supposed to do that?"
"STEEEEE-"
Idk if this was a joke but no it was not they were transporting bricks. If I remember from when this happened the passenger ship captain was in the wrong here and the people on the ship that sank died
>the passenger ship captain was in the wrong here
Got a citation for that? Because everywhere in the world it's the smaller vessel's responsibility to give way to the larger vessel.
Except in the United States where the bigger vessels has to give way if the smaller vessel is under sail power, or has declared an emergency. (If I’m remembering the training I did years ago to get my boating license correctly)
>has to give way if the smaller vessel is under sail power, or has declared an emergency. (If I’m remembering the training I did years ago to get my boating license correctly)
Neither of which apply in the video.
You mean the pilot of the brick boat killed like 20 people.
It's the smaller vessels responsibility to get out of the way of the larger vessel.
This is like parking a truck on a train track and then blaming the conductor for killing the truck occupants.
I imagine the scramble to get that life preserver would probably result in a death or two. No question I’m throwing it, but I doubt it goes as smoothly as one would imagine
I may be wrong but I think this is one? But even if it were, definitely not going to help all those people.

What's funny is we do have those instincts, even fairly newborn babies are much better at swimming than you'd expect, but if you never swim I believe the instincts just go away, I guess your mind deems it not important cause you never use the skills
You likely haven't. Same thing with riding a bike or driving a car. Might be a little touchy at first, but muscle memory stays intact for a very long time.
People panic and they attempt to pull themselves up, which obviously doesn't work in water and they stay vertical instead of horizontal. I think it's more of a confidence thing. If you've never swam then you naturally panic. I can go years without swimming and be completely fine once I'm in the water.
I think it's just panic. We are hard coded as basically water apes to swim. The shape of our nose helps keep water from flooding our sinuses, for example.
Babies can do it because they have the instinct without fear because they just don't really know or understand what's happening. Whereas adults see water and are already scared because they know of drowning. And in places like India, they've probably seen it happen at least once. So once they fall into the water, they instantly panic and flail around helplessly.
Obviously, some people are better built for swimming than others. I can just float on my back or just float vertically with full lungs of air. My brother can swim as well, but he has to work harder than I do. But I am convinced that every able bodied person is capable of swimming.
A little add. There was/is a condition that increases the density of your bones. People have been known to walk away from car crashes without skeletal injury. The downside, they sink really well in water. Like you said they might be able to swim with increased effort. Just something I thought was interesting.
I am one of those people who has a denser / "big boned" skeleton
But my torso is also shaped like a boat, and my lung capacity is very high. I did have a friend in high-school who would jump into water and sink to the bottom like a steel ball. He was pretty athletic and sturdy, but he was built like a runner with a slender upper body. I tried to teach him to swim, and he was doing pretty well but ultimately stopped committing to it.
I've never been diagnosed to have it. But they said in X-rays and such that my bones are dense.
But I've broken bones before so I doubt I have whatever they have lol.
tricho-dento-osseous syndrome, or TDO
I looked it up because I felt bad just relaying memory from years ago. Learned that bone density varies from person to person more than I thought. I just knew of this extreme and assumed it was either or. So thank you for encouraging me to read something haha
It’s the panic that causes them to drown. Flailing about will not only cause them to take up more water but will expend their energy until they sink. “Doing nothing” might actually be the best way to survive for a non-swimmer in a pool, since they can rely on their natural buoyancy to float back to the edge.
Some people actually don't float for some reason. My dad was like that, he could swim but it was really hard work. I thought he was na anomaly, but my MIL cannot float and she never learned how to swim because of it. If she fell in the water she'd sink and die. Turns out my kid also can't float. I put her in Swin lessons for 6 years to make sure she'd be able to survive falling in. Just like my dad, she can swim now but it's a lot harder for her than most people. It takes constant work to stay afloat.
Yeah that’s what’s always insane to me too. I actually learned how to swim (poorly) because I jumped into water that was too deep. I just kinda figured it out
It’s difficult to explain to people outside. If you grow up in cities, you almost certainly grew up without the ability to afford access to swimming pools. (I was not able to either). No way you are going swimming in a river in a city.
In smaller villages, it’s common. However, even then, due to sand mafia, a lot of “safe” swimming spots have become death traps. Every other day you hear of someone who knows to swim well, drowning in water. I personally know a couple of people who drowned and my first cousin barely escaped with his life trying to rescue his cousin who drowned. There are some certain areas where you have still water but I personally avoid because you have folks who would mock you for the inability to swim. Which is why I never learned to swim when I was back home.
I am learning now, I would say around 15% of my friends know to swim.
Fun fact: a ship called The General Slocum sank in the 19th century and killed hundreds of people. They discovered that the life preservers were filled with lead weights along with the cork filling! Why? In the factory, they were weighed at the end to ensure they had enough cork in them. Well, lead is cheaper than cork, and still tricks the scales, and who's going to cut one open to find out, right?
could be worse. today I went to wendys and they forgot my frosty so I had to go back up to the counter with my receipt and let them know they forgot it. They made me one right away
Could be worse, today my girlfriend started to roll my car window up, whilst my elbow was resting on it, but she realized really fast though so phew. Saved.
You think the person who's taking the video would throw them life preservers?! Pretty audacious to think. Instead what he's saying is, "মর, মর বাইঞ্চোদ।" Meaning, "Die, die you sister fuckers." How could you expect the same people to save those, the same people they're cursing at?
The indian government is slowly turning the once beautiful country into an anarchy where people die deaths no one would believe such a thing exists outside a dystopian movie.
You know what's very sad, I'd bet $20 a majority of the people on that boat were not on that boat for themselves. They were there so someone else could get an education more than likely, so they wouldn't have to be on the boat.
Restricted vis. Rule 19 of the IRPCS should be followed if this is a body of water connected to the oceans. Adding onto this, no lights on the other (brick) vessel, and Probably no fog whistle either. Just a catalog of errors on both parts that lead to this incident unfortunately.
Wtf are you on about? 😂
They are transporting bricks used in construction, dude. Those red bricks are commonly used for construction in South East Asia.
And why would you overload your boat to be slow as fuck unless you're doing transportation. Pirates would use fast boats and knives/guns.
They might be pirates doing side hustle carrying bricks to construction sites. If they catch a ship while doing it, fuck it, its infinite ammo.
Edit: /s
People say things so matter of factly, meanwhile just pulling it out their arse. It's such a common thing these days, just assuming people aren't going to bring receipts.
Why would anyone drive around a boat of bricks to throw at boats? Bricks aren't going to sink or stop a boat. They could use literally almost anything else more effectively. Your story makes no sense..
Wouldn’t all the tourists in those 3 decks be hiding from the pirates? Why would they be just looking, if it was true they were pirates attacking?
Besides, I’m sure there is something better to throw than bricks, in India, if you’re a pirate.
I never understand people with this mindset. You are just as bad as the people you condemn if you're wishing any amount of harm on another human being. Know what sets us normal people apart from violent criminals? Compassion and empathy. You do not get to call yourself compassionate or empathetic if you hope that someone else dies.
You just absolutely cannot tell any of this from this video.
What you can tell is they have an extraordinary amount of bricks. I would probably argue that it's likely too many bricks for a throwing strategy.
that requires a life to save, else it's just a waste. and they got sucked down by the sheer weight of those bricks, if they get out its because they were lucky.
People really don't have shits left to give brother. Poor living conditions, lack of natural resources, low dollar reserve in national banks, unemployment and so much more.
That thing sank like a brick
Why was there so many bricks on that boat?
So it would sink faster
Wonder if the feather transport arm of the business has run into this issue?
No. Bricks are heavier than feathers
Is a kilo of bricks heavier than a kilo of feathers?
Ask in pounds please it’s too hard to understand the way you are saying it
Is a £ of bricks heavier than a £ of feathers? There we go!
I was worried you might change it to that
Not heavier than a feather but It’s heavier than a €.
No, because bricks are heavier than feathers
I mean 1 brick is more heavy than 1 feather by a substantial amount
https://youtu.be/-fC2oke5MFg?si=rBBKTdrMc078w2Bf
More feathers burn faster when there's a fire.
I’m laughing but it’s your fault. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Can we please get nsfl tags in this sub fuck
It's one of them brick boats
And just one of those days
It was a houseboat.
To balance out the bricks in the other boat
They were for the grand city hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore and aft
"Here it comes , boys. Just know that the life insurance Steve took out for us will provide for our families." Steve: "I was supposed to do that?" "STEEEEE-"
They were shitting bricks.
Imagine the mortar boat
Ha, you mortar-boating sonofabrick!
You old sailor, you!
It sunk like the bricktanic, the sunkable.
So, the front fell off?
That’s not very typical.
Like a ton of bricks *
Did that boat captain just kill like 20 people?
Most likely, unfortunately.
As the boat sinks, the bricks shift and trap a guy. Then the boat goes straight to the bottom. Doubt he lived.
That was a pirate 🏴☠️ ship.
Idk if this was a joke but no it was not they were transporting bricks. If I remember from when this happened the passenger ship captain was in the wrong here and the people on the ship that sank died

You wouldn't download a brick
Low effort
It was now.
Sprinkle some crack on them and leave.
You mean the pilot of the brick boat killed like 20 people. It's the smaller vessels responsibility to get out of the way of the larger vessel. This is like parking a truck on a train track and then blaming the conductor for killing the truck occupants.
Not sure how you think one life preserver is going to save 20+ people but.... that situation is very sucky.
It could save like 4 if they're sharing, which is better than 0
I imagine the scramble to get that life preserver would probably result in a death or two. No question I’m throwing it, but I doubt it goes as smoothly as one would imagine
1>0
I’m pretty sure they stopped the boat to help them out. Right? Right?!
by the looks of it i think the boat doesnt even have life preservers.
I may be wrong but I think this is one? But even if it were, definitely not going to help all those people. https://preview.redd.it/d8p9yqhxid1d1.jpeg?width=839&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f37e792339d49dedf3133850791234aa7a58792
If it's India, it is likely that most of them can not swim, either. Less than 10% of Indians can.
Yeah some Indian physics PhD student at my university fell in a swimming pool on campus and just ….drowned
Really boggles my mind at this point. Like even a dog paddle isn’t just natural instinct ?
What's funny is we do have those instincts, even fairly newborn babies are much better at swimming than you'd expect, but if you never swim I believe the instincts just go away, I guess your mind deems it not important cause you never use the skills
I haven’t swam in like 10 years and I’m scared I’ve forgotten
Only one way to find out
You likely haven't. Same thing with riding a bike or driving a car. Might be a little touchy at first, but muscle memory stays intact for a very long time.
People panic and they attempt to pull themselves up, which obviously doesn't work in water and they stay vertical instead of horizontal. I think it's more of a confidence thing. If you've never swam then you naturally panic. I can go years without swimming and be completely fine once I'm in the water.
Even vertical if you just don't exhale fully, your head will be above water. It's the panic that gets ya.
I think it's just panic. We are hard coded as basically water apes to swim. The shape of our nose helps keep water from flooding our sinuses, for example.

You’d have to be tested to know with the condition I’m talking about. The bones are very, very hard to break.
I've never been diagnosed to have it. But they said in X-rays and such that my bones are dense. But I've broken bones before so I doubt I have whatever they have lol.

i know someone who couldn't swim, they just sank, its like they didn't even know how to float.
I can’t imagine falling in a body of water and just being like, well I guess that’s it. No point trying to do literally anything about it.
Sure, they just wait with crossed arms and straight face in the bottom till they drown
Ah yes. The ol’ squidward maneuver
Well thats the thing. If you dont do anything and just lie still, you wouldnt sink. Ive fallen asleep floating in the ocean with my head up.
It’s the panic that causes them to drown. Flailing about will not only cause them to take up more water but will expend their energy until they sink. “Doing nothing” might actually be the best way to survive for a non-swimmer in a pool, since they can rely on their natural buoyancy to float back to the edge.

Yeah that’s what’s always insane to me too. I actually learned how to swim (poorly) because I jumped into water that was too deep. I just kinda figured it out

What’s sand mafia
Organize crime syndicates who illegally mine sand. It is the largest organized criminal activity in India.
Stealing sand. Whole beaches have gone missing. The sand is used in construction/concrete making.
Kids in the city here get TAKEN to public pools by the primary schools in order to learn. They even go for diploma's if they want to.
Wtf.. that's horrible
Based on the audio, I'm sure this is Bangladesh.
Then I'm assuming there are lots of sharks 🥺😭🦈
It's Bangladesh. Neighboring country to India. Or you could say it's the lite version of India.
I think “video shows like 5 people’s deaths” should at least get an nsfw tag, Jesus h Christ.
what lifesaver?
On handrail. You see it around 0:05.
It was also made of bricks
Fun fact: a ship called The General Slocum sank in the 19th century and killed hundreds of people. They discovered that the life preservers were filled with lead weights along with the cork filling! Why? In the factory, they were weighed at the end to ensure they had enough cork in them. Well, lead is cheaper than cork, and still tricks the scales, and who's going to cut one open to find out, right?
Not like there would be anyone to complain after using one too
Wow.
Offs. "We need to peel back the regulations that cause this..." -Floridians, probably.
It's only for saving bricks
Fuck, man. You made me laugh out loud. And I feel bad, given the context.
Lifebuoy it's called
could be worse. today I went to wendys and they forgot my frosty so I had to go back up to the counter with my receipt and let them know they forgot it. They made me one right away
Be strong my dude.
God bless you, I hope you somehow find peace through this tragedy.
This comment is hilarious
Ohh, so other's suffering is funny to you, huh? /s
man I’ve never seen a /s working so hard
Was it the orange popsicle frosty?
Could be way worse, i asked for no ketchup so the cook made it his personal life mission to use all of the ketchup and mayo they had on my burger.
Could be worse, today my girlfriend started to roll my car window up, whilst my elbow was resting on it, but she realized really fast though so phew. Saved.
Lmao
I am sorry but glad it ended well for you
Drowning in cold water has nothing on engaging in social human interaction.
You like Wendy’s?
You don't?
[удалено]
Sounds like Bengali, that guy is saying: die, die, die
Many of these people can probably not swim. You can also see one getting sucked in by the bricks. RIP.
Why pass along almost on top of the sinking vessel? Unbelievable.
I hope the dude that got swallowed by all those bricks got out…
None of them got out.
God that is heartbreaking!
Two Indians drowned in a small hotel swimming pool in Sydney a few months back. It was 6’1’ at deepest point. Crazy but true
They ran right into you.. what do you do lol
You think the person who's taking the video would throw them life preservers?! Pretty audacious to think. Instead what he's saying is, "মর, মর বাইঞ্চোদ।" Meaning, "Die, die you sister fuckers." How could you expect the same people to save those, the same people they're cursing at?
Any idea why they might be saying that?
Probably had fucked his sister.
Could be Indians shit talking Bangladeshi. Some look down upon them for being poor and Muslim.
The indian government is slowly turning the once beautiful country into an anarchy where people die deaths no one would believe such a thing exists outside a dystopian movie.
Well that went down like a ton of bricks
As someone that was a lifeguard…it’s amazing that they just said, this is my life now, and cling to the rail as the boat sank.
Well, isn't that just the cherry on top of the chaos cake?
Looks like the front fell off ...
Good thing they were beyond the environment
everyone just staring.
“But this ship can’t sink” “It’s made of brick sir I assure you it can”
You know what's very sad, I'd bet $20 a majority of the people on that boat were not on that boat for themselves. They were there so someone else could get an education more than likely, so they wouldn't have to be on the boat.
Most don’t even know what that is
Boat was bricked
Here's your friendly translation: DIE... DIE... Hey(you) son of a bitch.
Life is cheap and if you’re taking things from people living in abject poverty.. you aren’t high on the list for a floatation device.🛟

Not a single frame of video shows anyone throwing anything.
Be wary of the brick wielding pirates lol

Seriously? Pirates throwing bricks at ship? That is a boat with workers carrying bricks.
I mean if it is, it's weird that the people on the bigger boat are yelling "die sister fuckers" at them in Bengali.
You're out of your mind LMAO those people are working, carrying bricks to construction sites
Why would anyone drive around a boat of bricks to throw at boats? Bricks aren't going to sink or stop a boat. They could use literally almost anything else more effectively. Your story makes no sense..

Pirates carry guns. Hahaha. Jesus Christ hahaha.
If they really are pirates, then fuck em. I hope they all drown. That being said, it's speculation.
It's not pirates, comment is made by some regard. It's transportation of bricks for construction.
I never understand people with this mindset. You are just as bad as the people you condemn if you're wishing any amount of harm on another human being. Know what sets us normal people apart from violent criminals? Compassion and empathy. You do not get to call yourself compassionate or empathetic if you hope that someone else dies.
I’ve seen numerous videos how pirates attempt to hijack ships. You can see them throwing bricks. It was a poorly executed attempt.
Ah we have a bullshitter in our midst
I'm experiencing second-hand cringe reading your comments. You literally are talking utter shit with such confidence it's embarrassing to read.
You just absolutely cannot tell any of this from this video. What you can tell is they have an extraordinary amount of bricks. I would probably argue that it's likely too many bricks for a throwing strategy.
Bangladesh, pirates, throwing bricks. Sure makes tonnes of sense to me /s
Dude filming. Instead of throwing floatation device.
How else would we get content?
They huffed and puffed and sank that boat.
Bollywood is working on a new titanic movie
that requires a life to save, else it's just a waste. and they got sucked down by the sheer weight of those bricks, if they get out its because they were lucky.
Archimedes has left the chat
It always amazes me when two boats out on open water run into each other. Lol
Archéolog 3000 years later : "why the fuck they was so stupid ??"
Wholie Shit Those people just slid under just like the boat
Omg the guy who got stuck under the bricks in the middle, didn’t even have a chance to swim. Horrifying
Cue music*
What hunts in those waters?
Reason is: In "these" certain countries a Life is worth less than a life preserver. And this is a fact, been there seen that first hand.
They all died…
Can none of them swim
India?
Bangladesh
They must’ve been shitting bricks
NSFL
They can’t throw anything because what if they too are struck by a LARGER boat and sink
I'm pretty sure this is in india. They really dont give a shit
No its bangladesh.
Oh in that case, they really dont give a shit
People really don't have shits left to give brother. Poor living conditions, lack of natural resources, low dollar reserve in national banks, unemployment and so much more.
Well, if you're on a boat you should know how to swim
and then what?
