You might think that the times of the Titanic are long gone, but what if I told you that less than 20 years ago there was another ship that almost followed in the steps of the Titanic? This time, abandoned by their captain, around 600 passengers would have lost their lives if not for the quick-thinking and courageous cruise ship entertainers. The Oceanos, built in France and first launched in July 1952, was a Greek-owned cruise ship. On August 3, 1991, after a serious delay, it set off from East London, South Africa, on its fateful voyage toward Durban. Even before the journey started, the ship had already started to wear… TIMESTAMPS:

Where is the Oceanos now? 10:02 #titanic #ships #brightside The cruise ship Oceanos leaving Piraeus Harbor on June 1986: By Peter J.

SUMMARY:
– The Oceanos, built in France and first launched in July 1952, was a Greek-owned cruise ship that traveled along the Marseilles – Madagascar – Mauritius route. – Usually, the ship's crew would’ve organized a "sail-away" party with the entertainers and musicians on the deck outside. But everything seemed to be going wrong this time. – The problem was that, in an attempt to make up for the previous delay, the Oceanos entered rough seas. But it turned out to be a fatal mistake.
– The situation was much, much more dangerous because the Oceanos encountered rogue waves, also called monster waves. They’re incredibly large and unexpected; they appear all of a sudden and can wreck even large ships and ocean liners. – The ocean water was flooding the ship through the main drainage pipes, which meant that it was uncontrollably spilling out of toilets, showers, and the water disposal system. – As soon as the crew realized that the ship was beyond hope and couldn't be saved, they got ready to abandon it. They didn’t follow the standard procedure of locking the portholes on the lower decks, and they even failed to raise the alarm! – The captain and his crew weren't going to save the day. They departed on several lifeboats without looking back. Luckily, the ship still had its entertainers. – Moss Hills performed on the Oceanos as a singer and guitarist. He could tell that the ship was having a problem, but at that time, he hadn't realized yet how serious the situation was. – As soon as Hills realized the horror of the situation, as well as the fact that they couldn't expect any help from the panicking crew, he sprang into action. – The South African Air Force and the South African Navy sent 16 rescue helicopters that were to arrive at any moment. – Meanwhile, Moss Hills organized an orderly evacuation process where children and women were the first to use the remaining lifeboats.
– All 571 people who were on board the ship after the crew abandoned it were saved. Moss and Tracy Hills, as well as Butler and Boltman, were among the last to leave the ship. – At about 3:30 PM the next day, the Oceanos touched the sand bottom, 300 ft (90 m) below the ocean’s surface.

More It Could Be Titanic II But a Guy Saved 600 Passengers Alone Videos

Life is simply not as fun without a cat. Just think, when was the last time your little fluffy amused you with their hunt for another fly, or how they suddenly began to complain when you returned home? They’re more than our beloved pets, they’re family members. And if they suddenly bite you after rubbing against your hand, don’t worry, they aren’t mad. Perhaps they were just going crazy with love! Here're some ways your cat say "I love you". Just don’t forget to scratch your kitty’s belly to make sure it knows you love them too! TIMESTAMPS:
#1. Don't think that your cat accidentally touched your lips…
…they know where to aim to show their love. 0:30 #2. Rubbing their head against yours isn't a call to fight…
…it's a sign of affection. 0:51 #3. Your kitty blinks slowly while looking at you…
…because your greatness blinds them. 1:11 #4. Get a free massage for no reason from your kitten…
…because they love you. 1:32 #5. Cats also understand the idea of "follow me"…
…and do it perfectly. 1:51 #6. They come running after hearing, "I'm at home!"…
…they're hungry, but they also missed you terribly. 2:11 #7. Your kitty cares about you and won't let you starve.
So be polite and take the mouse graciously. 2:31 #8. Your pet is ready for you to scratch it.
But no one else has the right to touch that fluffy belly. 2:51 #9. Sleeping on your clothes is sweeter…
…no matter how many lint rollers you go through! 3:11 #10. Your cat sleeps with you since you're a great pillow — and its beloved human, of course. 3:31 #11. Licking your hands isn't a way to teach you about hygiene.
Your cat is trying to tell you about their tender feelings. 3:51 #12. Bitting may hurt. But be strong and don’t worry…
…it’s how they show their love! 4:12 #13. Don't scold your cat if they prevent you from using your gadgets.
Your kitty loves you and craves your attention. 4:32 #cats #pets #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

How to get rid of sleep problems? When was the last time you had a really great night’s sleep? Yesterday? Last year? When you were a child? Anything from body pain to your sleeping position to your emotions can disrupt your sleep cycle, causing you to wake up fatigued. So what can you do to fall asleep when the sheep are nowhere to be found and that warm glass of milk doesn't help? A good night’s sleep is necessary for optimal health. So if you’re one of the millions of people in the world who suffers from a sleep disorder or you want to fall asleep faster, here're some quick unconventional tips for you, and sleep experts swear by them! TIMESTAMPS:
Stop trying to fall asleep 0:45
Tense every muscle in your body 1:04
Do mental aerobics 1:31
Replay your day in reverse 1:47
Do the breathing exercise 2:10
Don't check the time 2:46
The phone needs to go too 3:06
Roll your eyes 3:54
Wash your face with cold water 4:24
Take a warm bath 4:40
Try some Feng Shui 5:04
Keep your room quite cool 5:29
Put your socks on 5:50
Change your mattress 6:05
Put a pillow between your legs 6:27
Share your bed with your dog 6:45
Get enough sun during the day 7:05
Take a nap during the day 7:32
Avoid late-night eating 7:58
Always go to sleep and wake up at the same time 8:36 #insomnia #sleepproblems #brightside SUMMARY:
– Lie in bed with your eyes wide open and challenge yourself by repeating "I will not fall asleep" repeatedly. Our brain isn’t very good at processing negatives, so it’ll take this as a command to fall asleep instead! – What if it’s your thoughts keeping you up at night? Easy: get them out of your head and onto a piece of paper.
– Try replaying your day in reverse. Remember every single mundane detail from the moment you went to bed to the second you opened your eyes this morning.
– Speaking of your eyes, keep them off the clock! When you keep checking the time, it stresses you out, your cortisol levels rise.
– Before you say you always check the time on your phone because who has a separate physical clock these days anyway – the phone needs to go too. – If you’re now not sure what to do with your eyes, just roll them!
– You can wash your face with cold water. Instead of shocking you awake like you’d assume, it works to reset your nervous system.
– A warm bath before bedtime kind of works the same way but on a much larger scale. – Make sure your bed is open on both sides and that it’s in the northwestern part of the room. Hey, Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years, so it must work! – Don’t forget to put some socks on before you get under the covers! Studies show that if your hands and feet are warm, it helps regulate your internal body temperature. – Try putting a pillow between your legs to avoid tossing and turning all night. – And, speaking of which, what better way to fall asleep than to cuddle up with your pooch? Hey, it’s been proven by science! – Make sure you’re getting enough sun during the day. – Feel free to take a nap during the day! Napping for 30 minutes or less can improve your overall brain function, which aids in sleep!
– Avoid late-night eating, even if you swear you’re about to fall into a food coma! – And finally, try to always go to sleep and wake up at the same time. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More 12 Hilarious Things Only Sisters Will Understand Videos

Ever dozed off before your PC at work only to wake up mere seconds later? Tedious job will do that for you. And now imagine that you’ve been driving for 10 hours non-stop, and that you didn’t really have a good night’s sleep before that either. What do you think may happen while you’re at the wheel? That’s right: microsleep can be dangerous. Now, microsleep sounds as if it’s just an extra short nap that you take when your body says, “I’m done with this.” But what really happens is that you’re both asleep and awake at the same time. You can sit in front of your computer or at a meeting and stare at some random point on the wall opposite you without even being aware of it. That is, until you wake yourself up or someone does this favor for you. TIMESTAMPS:
How this thing happened to me 1:15
Becoming a zombie for a few seconds 3:23
❗️ No one’s really safe ❗️ 4:21
What about pilots? ✈️5:28
What happens to you when you have a microsleep episode 6:25
The most dangerous thing of all 8:15
How to get rid of microsleep? 9:35 #humanbrain #sleep #brightside SUMMARY:
– Microsleep is a rather common issue with lots of people. It’s a state when you’re asleep but not quite. The thing is, certain parts of your brain simply shut down during microsleep, while others keep on going like nothing happened.
– I thought microsleep was linked with lack of healthy night’s rest, but it seems well-rested people can also experience it, so no one’s really safe.
– In as early as 1994, NASA conducted a study that proved pilots who had 40-minute naps performed much better in the last 90 minutes of their flight than those who didn’t have the luxury. – Can you even imagine how dangerous it is for a pilot to zone out during a flight? That’s exactly why it’s mandatory for all civil aviation pilots to have an 8-hour sleep before their next flight.
– During microsleep, areas of the brain responsible for alertness suddenly lit up. If it were normal sleep, they wouldn’t so much as spark, but in this case, they simply burst. – Microsleep was declared a state in which your brain really wants you to fall asleep, but at the same time it doesn’t feel safe enough to turn you off. – Many people don’t notice their episodes because they’ve never stopped doing what they were doing, and they don’t even realize they’ve just zoned out of reality. – You can’t get rid of it completely, but you sure can reduce the time spent in this state. And it’s simple to the point of ridiculous: get quality sleep every night.
– And if you can’t allow that to yourself, at least take several 20-minute naps during the day or one big 1.5-hour nap in the middle of the day. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More What Microsleep Is And Why ‘Extra Naps’ Can Be Dangerous Videos

Catherine Dickens is far less known than her legendary husband, Charles. When you think about Victorian novels, his name is the first one to pop up. But the story of Mrs. Dickens’ life is very much like a novel itself. Catherine was not only a brave traveler, but a good actress, an excellent cook, and even a writer. She acted in Charles’ amateur plays and wrote and published a cookbook that was a bestseller. So, why did this woman of many talents, a devoted wife and mother of 10 make a desperate move and divorced her husband? For many years Dickens’ biographers treated her as foolish and impulsive, but it’s high time you knew the truth about her! TIMESTAMPS:
How Charles Dickens met Catherine 0:39
“Best half”, “wifey” and “Mrs. D.” 1:29
What Charles blamed Catherine for 3:50
The fatal mistake that put an end to their marriage 4:52
Why the kids stayed with their father 6:16
What Catherine's great-great-granddaughter says 8:03
Awful thing Charles tried to do 8:50 #CharlesDickens #womensrights #brightside SUMMARY:
– Catherine Hogarth was born in Scotland in May, 1815. She was the first of 10 children brought up in a good, intelligent family. – She was a smart and beautiful young woman, and Dickens liked her at once. Charles was dreaming of a loving, close-knit family and Catherine was perfect for the role of a good housewife, a thoughtful mother and an intelligent friend.
– They were young, free and joyful. No domestic or financial problems would distract them from enjoying each other. They would go to theaters and parties. Charles called Catherine his “best half”, “wifey” and “Mrs. D.”
– Before the birth of their 5th child, the couple visited America. Dickens had had huge success there; his novels immediately became bestsellers. – Well, when Catherine gave birth to their 5th child, Charles was no longer happy about having a large family. For the first time, he complained about having so many children. – Within 15 years, Catherine had given birth to a total of 10 children and had 2 miscarriages. No wonder she was under so much stress and looked nothing like the young and pretty woman Charles married. – Finally, Charles concluded that they weren’t made for each other. He would tell his friends that his wife was cold and apathetic.
– Soon after that, in spring, 1858, a fatal mistake put an end to the Dickens’ marriage. A bracelet that Charles had bought for a young 18-year-old actress, Ellen Ternan, was delivered to their house instead. – Catherine had had enough. She left Charles forever.
– The Victorians treated marriage as something that couldn’t be broken. But if it did happen, a woman had no rights. That’s why it was only the eldest son Charles Jr. who left the family house together with Catherine.
– The society condemned Catherine and considered her unworthy of her famous genius husband. – It was only 139 years after Catherine’s death, in 2016, that her great-great-great-granddaughter Lucinda Hawksley, who is an author and lecturer herself, defended her. She said that Dickens' biographers hadn't done justice to the woman who was a good wife and mother but had a very uneasy life with Charles. – The discovered letters show that before getting an official divorce, Charles tried to institutionalize his wife based on a fake diagnosis. He tried to convince a doctor to declare Catherine insane. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Dickens’ Wife Left Her 10 Children and the Writer Videos

The mysterious jungle is known to be the home of many different species – and humans, unfortunately, aren’t among them. In fact, when we hear the word jungle, we tend to run away from it as fast as possible. It sounds cozier to sit at home, watch tv and enjoy our everyday luxuries, like a nice cup of hot cocoa on a Saturday afternoon. But one fearless man decided to explore the jungle and embarked on a wild journey. So the question is: why did this man choose such a lifestyle? Living in the wilderness, hunting in dangerous weather and swimming in crocodile-infested waters? Well, one thing is for sure, Michael Fomenko is no ordinary man. So, let’s find out what happened from the beginning. TIMESTAMPS:
Was he part royalty?! 1:10
Traveling on foot for about a month 1:38
Michael becomes a star athlete 3:11
Transformation into the real-life Tarzan 4:12
Life in the jungle 5:20
So was he insane? 6:25
The best choice he could’ve made 7:47
Michael's pranks 8:21 #jungle #truestories #brightside SUMMARY:
– Even though Michael’s latter life choices could be considered primitive, he had a luxurious upbringing. He was part royalty. His father was a Cossack and his mother, a Georgian Princess.
– Poverty became an issue that the family had to face. And to survive, they took all the valuable things they had, sold them, forged their identifications, and embarked on a journey of survival. – Unfortunately, safety was still an issue in China, so the family decided to move to Japan, which was more secure.
– A few years went by, and Michael’s father decided that it’d be safer to move the family again. He suspected that a political conflict was about to happen, and he didn’t want his family to be part of that.
– This time, they moved to Sydney, Australia, and they restarted their lives with more hope. Michael’s dad took a job as the headmaster at a very prestigious school in Sydney.
– Michael was quite the athlete. In fact, he was a star athlete. His athletic skill helped him to become a celebrated decathlete; and his state medals kept piling up.
– You see, despite his success on the athletic field, Michael still never really felt like he belonged, and his need for isolation only became stronger. – Soon enough, he began to disassociate himself from material possessions for the sake of exploring nature. His mindset had changed, and his outlook towards life had evolved, along with his appearance.
– Slowly and gradually, Michael moved closer and closer to the jungle, until he became a full-time resident there.
– Queensland jungle received a phone call that an almost naked man was spotted wondering in the streets. The police responded quickly, and after a lengthy chase, Michael was arrested. – The police decided to admit him to a mental institution, where he would be diagnosed and treated appropriately.
– What the doctors didn’t understand at the time, was that his “barbaric”, Tarzanian behavior, wasn’t due to mental illness; it was just his choice. After years of trying ineffective treatments, doctors finally gave up, and Michael was free again. – In 1966, he joined the Australian Aboriginals, and that was the best choice he could’ve made at the time, because he remained with the aboriginals, and lived off the land, for more than 50 years. – He was also quite the prankster as well. He would wait up in trees and jump on passing trucks to scare the passengers. Even though he didn’t want to be part of society, he still enjoyed having some minor contact with it.
