The Cruise from Hell: What Netflix Didn't Explain About the "Poop Cruise" Engineering

The "Poop Cruise" is a modern maritime legend, but the documentaries often miss the most shocking part: the engineering. While everyone talked about the smell, I’m taking you behind the scenes to show you the complex systems that failed and how a simple engine fire led to a total breakdown of a ship's sanitation. In this video, we explore the $100 million systems that keep a modern cruise ship running, the physics of vacuum toilets, and the specific mechanical failures that turned the Carnival Triumph into a floating disaster. This is the technical side of the story that Netflix didn't explain. — 📚 Buy my books: https://www.frameandcross.com/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com/ 🛳️ My Maritime History Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ — 🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT: Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQn Lav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA Voice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales. — Discover the shocking truth behind the infamous Carnival Triumph incident, from the unsanitary practices of early steamships to the cutting-edge water treatment plants aboard today's mega-ships. #cruiseship #cruisenews #cruising #poopcruise #carnivaltriumph # #trainwreckpoopcruise #cruiseline #carnivalcruiselines --VISUAL-- Tima Miroshnichenko (Laundry): https://www.pexels.com/video/blue-towels-spinning-inside-a-washing-machine-8756627/ Magda Ehlers (Pipe): https://www.pexels.com/photo/red-and-gray-industrial-machinery-2569842/ Tom Fisk (Water): https://www.pexels.com/video/from-above-footage-of-an-egret-walking-on-murky-water-close-to-the-mangroves-and-flying-away-2980973/ ; https://www.pexels.com/video/drone-footage-of-a-water-treatment-facility-5099278/ ; https://www.pexels.com/video/sewer-pipes-releasing-water-in-the-river-5535467/ Sher Lyn .
