A Mysterious Sinking | Lawless Oceans


I’ve asked my friend lugs to help me
take a look at the pink Shin 101 last
journey let’s just go through this
together because a couple things I need
some verification on ready as a former
New Zealand maybe engineer lugs knows
what it takes to sink a ship so here’s
what I think it did in July 2014 one
past diego garcia and then was intending
to sail home all the way back to taiwan
and in this spot right here
in the middle of the Indian Ocean
furthest away from Archie
pretty far from Colombo relatively far
from Diego Garcia on the 7th of July
2014
it sank here right you
this is the Australian Maritime Safety
Agency and they had a report of that the
pension 101 suffered mechanical failure
and that the crew was abandoning the
vessel into life rafts let’s ping what
the mechanical flight was ships that
lose power and heavy seas can capsize as
they drift broadside to the current if
there’s no talk of that in the report
you’ve had cases where ships had broken
down with mechanical failure and they
just get towed into the port yep but
there’s a second report from the rescue
ship they said that this ship
experienced flooding in the engine room
with one of these things think just
because the engine room floods
I think that’s a bit weird Otis does
because they always use the engine room
as a safe room for pirate attacks right
because you can elongate it well here it
will be the same right it should be
water pipe yeah and why would that
rupture we’ll have to run a ground or
someone’s gonna blow on purpose
you mean someone scuttling the ship yeah
I’m sure the rescuers only reported what
the crew told them but whining
consistency
the Taiwanese then say in their official
report that the ping Shin 101 grounded
and started taking on water and sank and
I mean this is where it sank right here
and in this immediate area the nearest
land mass the nearest place where
there’s even a reef for this thing to
ground on was in Diego Garcia and that’s
470 nautical miles
Diego Garcia is a British territory
that’s home to a major US military base
it seems unlikely but the ping Shin
would come close enough to shore to run
aground and even if the ping Shin 101
grounded is it feasible that they could
have even failed 470 nautical miles
while taking on water
anyway the loss of the 101 is important
it was the key physical link to the
killing normally a homicide scene would
have forensics fingerprints DNA in this
case we only have video and even the
ship it was recorded on is gone
