  • Oh my, You open your eyes.

  • There's a loud rumbling in your ears and people are running around in panic.

  • Broken dishes are everywhere.

  • The floor is thrashing.

  • What's happening?

  • Wait, Someone is yelling at you.

  • The ship is sinking.

  • Get up And then you remember 18 hours earlier.

  • You've been waiting for this all year vacation.

  • Finally, you pack everything you need into your suitcase, Hawaiian shirts, shorts, flip flops, sunblock and a couple of books.

  • It's time to go to the airport.

  • Ah, you find yourself on the Pacific Coast After a four hour flight here at the pier, you and 1500 passengers are waiting for the super modern luxury cruise ship.

  • You come on board, order fresh lemonade and watch the shore disappearing in the distance.

  • After a couple of hours, you can take the scorching sun anymore and go to the cabin to read a book.

  • A few pages later, you fall asleep.

  • Loud noise suddenly wakes you up.

  • You spend several seconds in confusion.

  • A crew member brings youto life and reports that the ship is sinking.

  • Now.

  • The main thing is not to panic and follow the safety instructions first before slipping on your life vest.

  • Put on as many clothes as possible.

  • This is necessary to preserve precious heat.

  • The weight of it won't pull you down, thanks to the life vest put on top.

  • Even if your cruise ship is in a tropical area, the ocean water isn't more than 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • It seems warm, but your body will quickly cool down in the water.

  • Most of the heat goes through the head, neck, legs and feet, so try to protect these areas of the body as best as possible.

  • Most importantly, don't forget to take off everything made of metal.

  • Your belt buckle, shoe fasteners, anything.

  • You should get rid of this if you don't want to pierce the lifeboat accidentally when you jump into it, but more on that later.

  • For now, it's important to follow the evacuation plan.

  • You should be able to find it in your cabin.

  • Of course, you don't want to think about evacuation when going on a sea cruise, but it can really save your life to remember it better go through the entire ship once following the plans directions.

  • It's better to do it when everything's calm, because if your first time is in a real emergency, you can get lost easily in all the commotion.

  • If you didn't read the plan before, though, and are now too scared, just try to get to the upper deck where the lifeboats are.

  • And remember the important maritime law.

  • Women and Children are the first aboard them.

  • The last to abandon ship is the captain.

  • You'll have to jump into a boat, try to land on the inflatable edge, do it sideways and never jump into the boat feet.

  • First, you can tear through the bottom, but let's consider another situation.

  • All the lifeboats have left without you, and you must dive into the water.

  • In the movies, people often dived beautifully with their arms in a straight line above the head.

  • Forget that the safest way to jump is to grip your mouth and nose tightly with one hand and hold the life vest with the other.

  • Bend your knees and push yourself forward as hard as you can.

  • Falling feet first.

  • Ready 12 Stop.

  • First you need to look down and make sure you don't jump on someone's had all fine.

  • Okay, then jump.

  • Now that you're in the water swim is far away from the ship is possible.

  • Firstly, someone may not look down and jump right on top of you.

  • Secondly, when a huge ship sinks, it forms a gigantic funnel in the water that could easily trap you.

  • Just don't stop until you're least 300 feet away.

  • After that, find a lifeboat and swim towards it.

  • If there are no boats around, then try to save your energy as much as possible and just stay still.

  • Ideally, curl down into the fetal position.

  • Pressure knees to your chest and wrap your arms around them.

  • The life vest will keep you afloat anyway, and the ball down post will conserve your warm for longer.

  • It's also very important to be able to hold your breath underwater just in case.

  • But let's get back to an even worse scenario.

  • Shall we?

  • Suppose you're inside a swiftly flooding ship and you need to swim through a long corridor to get to the upper deck.

  • First, stay calm because panic takes away a lot of oxygen.

  • And don't put your life vest on just yet.

  • You'll need to dive, and the vest will keep you afloat instead.

  • Now stretch your lungs before diving.

  • Take a relaxed position.

  • Breathe calmly for a minute and then hold your breath until you feel uncomfortable.

  • Start breathing again for a full minute, then hold again.

  • Breathe in as deeply as possible.

  • Repeat it three times.

  • I know, I know our ship is sinking and there isn't so much time, but these several minutes might save your life in the end.

  • If you're still beside yourself, make it 20 seconds instead of a minute.

  • Now that your lungs are in shape, you're ready to dive.

  • Try to swim as close to the surface is possible.

  • The deeper you dive, the more difficult it is to hold your breath.

  • It would also help if you didn't eat 2 to 3 hours before swimming food.

  • Digestion consumes part of the oxygen.

  • Yeah, you couldn't have predicted that there would be such a need.

  • But you can always eat less.

  • Well, see traveling.

  • Yeah, right.

  • With eight buffets a day on the ship.

  • Okay.

  • You've reached the upper deck safely, put on a life est at last, jumped into the water and are now swimming towards the boats or staying still to keep your energy and wait for rescuers.

  • Suddenly you notice land in the distance and it seems not too far off.

  • But before you start swimming towards it, stop and think a little.

  • If you've ever heard about mirages, Yeah, like those in the desert that just might be it.

  • In clear weather, you can see the shore from four miles away from your position in the water.

  • But it might look much closer.

  • Don't try to swim there yourself.

  • Most likely you won't succeed and get stuck somewhere in the middle.

  • Exhausted and even worse, Rescuers will have a hard time finding you.

  • So you're waiting now?

  • Minor Life s have a beacon that lights up automatically as soon as you jump into the water.

  • This beacon helps rescuers find you.

  • If you got a vest without it, then you need to shout and wave your hands.

  • But only if you notice the rescue team.

  • Still no signs of them, huh?

  • Well, lifeboats are full.

  • The ship is completely sunk and you're very cold.

  • Don't panic.

  • Look around and find other people like you swimming in their vests, unite in groups and snuggle together.

  • This way you'll keep warm.

  • And it'll be more fun to wait for help.

  • In general, more over a large group of people is better seen from a helicopter.

  • Now you've done everything necessary to save your life.

  • Now you only have to wait for help.

  • Helicopters arrive and evacuate you.

  • An hour later, you return home and decide to go on a hot air balloon trip.

  • But that's a completely different story.

  • Oh, by the way, if you were waiting for the part where the sharks tried to eat you while you were waiting for rescue, I didn't want to load you down with too much, especially with that spinning bus on cargo that's floating your way.

  • We'll save those for another time.

  • Hey, if you learn something new today, then give the video alike and share with a friend and hear some other cool videos I think you'll enjoy.

Oh my, You open your eyes.
