This story by Moss Hills about the Oceanos shipwreck is incredible.  I can&#x27;t believe I&#x27;ve never heard about it before or that there hasn&#x27;t been a big blockbuster movie made about the wreck.<p>The ship MTS Oceanos had a crew of the most craven, selfish, cowardly Greeks to have ever gone to sea. When the ship started sinking off the coast of South Africa, the captain and crew all deserted the ship without even raising the alarm to alert the passengers that the ship was sinking.  They snuck off, leaving the passengers in the dark to fend for themselves.  They lowered a half-full lifeboat as soon as all the crew and their luggage was on board, despite people screaming at them not to.<p>Moss Hills was the guitarist in the resident entertainment team and after checking the state of the ship (finding that the captain had lied in his announcements) he went to the bridge and found it deserted. Here is the video footage Moss took when he went down below deck to verify his suspicions that the boat was indeed going down:  <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;9BFux2AAMso?t=57s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;9BFux2AAMso?t=57s</a><p>Hills tells how he contacted another ship on the radio:<p>&quot;By radio, I spoke to Captain Detmar aboard the ship &quot;Nedlloyd Mauritius&quot; a few times and the radio reception was clear.  Captain Detmar was extremely calm and efficient sounding and was very reassuring.  At first he asked me a few technical type questions and wanted to know our exact position, how many people were still on board, our angle of lean and current strengths, etc. When I was unable to answer he wanted to know my rank. I answered that I wasn&#x27;t any rank, I was a guitarist. After a short pause to digest this he came back on and was extremely supportive. In fact, South African newspapers picked up this story and ran a cartoon of me as a small figure on the bridge of a listing ship in pounding seas, captioned with &quot;Attention, attention, this is your lead guitarist speaking&quot;. The artist sent me the original of it which I still have.&quot;<p>He and some of his entertainment teammates organized getting the passengers rescued from the heavily listing and sinking ship by helicopter. Hills was the last man to be air lifted off the boat, minutes before the ship sank. Most impressively, despite the captains best efforts to be utterly derelict of his duties, not a single life was lost.<p>Moss Hills later also survived ANOTHER shipwreck a few years down the road.
