If there is anything worse than sheer negligence of seafarers at sea, it is the lack of common sense and knowledge to quickly act in an emergency situation arising out of such negligence. This video aptly demonstrates the lack of professionalism and seriousness among these seafarers.
We do not have much knowledge of the video, but it is clear that these people are trying to launch a fast rescue boat when the ship is underway. The launching process goes terribly wrong, as the craft almost tips, throwing the people overboard. What is more surprising to watch is the ship crew’s inability to act quickly during the man overboard situation. The crew members just stand staring at the craft from the deck, as the people from the craft go overboard and disappear into the sea
These seafarers show us how to fail epically when it comes to launching the fast rescue boat whilst underway! Not only do they fail at that but they also fail to react quickly to the man overboard situation that follows.
I am not claiming ownership of this video. I have simply uploaded it to YouTube as it had not been uploaded by anyone to this site.
