Title: MTS Oceanos
Post by: firestar12 on February 09, 2009, 22:06:54

Has anyone here heard of the MTS Oceanos? It was a Greek cruise ship that sank in 1991. (Apparently Greek ships tend to sink a lot.???) Anyways, I was looking for some extensive info on it. I checked wikipedia but there wasn't too much info. Thanks for Any help.

I've seen a video of that ship sinking on worlds most amazing videos. The ship was on a huge list and the captain and senior crew just abandoned all the passengers for their own lives. So all the passengers had to be air lifted by helicopter. there is probably some vids on it on you tube, i would take a look if i were you ;)

Compare it to the video.

No, but I am naturally suspicious.
