Uncontrolled anchor in great depth

What will happen if you throw the anchor of a ship at sea and there's enough chain to reach the bottom; Workers at a freighter does not correctly calculate the depth and leave the anchor to be dropped above have convinced. The weight of the chain becomes unbearable for the brake pulley's and follows the chaos. Fortunately nobody was injured.

The origin of the ship is unknown, but the exclamation 'malakaaa' at the end gives us a clue...

    the personnel in charge of the maneuver made a mistake when carrying it out. They released the chain too quickly, what prevented them from stopping it in time, This incident led to the loss of both the anchor and the chain. The crew member released the pulley too much and then could not brake it or the pulley brake could also be failing.

    In my opinion, the personnel in charge of the maneuver made a mistake when carrying it out. They released the chain too quickly, what prevented them from stopping it in time, causing a sudden jerk that resulted in the mesh breaking. This incident led to the loss of both the anchor and chain.

    In my opinion, personnel giving free fall or reining the anchor can cause this type of incident., The crew member releases the pulley too much and then cannot brake it or the pulley brake may also be failing.

  4. Luis Ernesto Salazar says:

    They were very confident in releasing the chain and when they wanted to stop it, the speed it picked up was already high... Overcoming the brake and cutting the chain when they couldn't find the seabed

  5. Luis Ernesto Salazar says:

    It happens due to not foreseeing the depth of the bottom and the brake is not enough until the chain is cut.

    In my opinion, the personnel in charge of the maneuver was wrong when carrying it out., since I let the chain go very quickly, without being able to stop it and causing it to jerk and break the mesh. Thus they lost the anchor and the chain

  7. Mioni says:

    From my point of view the mistake was while they were releasing the anchor and they trusted the seabed with a bad calculation

  8. Cristian says:

    Giving free fall or free rein to the anchor can cause this type of incident., The crew releases the pulley a lot and then cannot stop it , Or it could also be that the pulley brake is failing., In my opinion, it releases too many shackles when performing the anchoring maneuver. .

    In my opinion, The personnel in charge of the task did not have a dimension of the depth in their boat, At the same time, perhaps he did not specify the brands of the chains correctly and when he tried to brake them it was too late..

    In the video you can see how the chain passes by since they could not stop all its weight , making the mesh break and remaining silent in the background.

  11. Tobias Rios says:

    In the video it seems that they did not take into account the background since it seems that they did not realize when they should brake, causing the chain to break and be lost due to its weight..

  12. Tobias Rios says:

    In the video it is not seen that they have taken the calculations since it seems that they did not realize when they should brake, causing the chain to break and get lost.

  13. Federico Silver says:

    It's a human failure, Not knowing how to measure the depth of the chains is a serious mistake, I also don't use the pulley brake correctly.

  14. Ian Beber says:

    From what you see in the video, He did not see the painted links on the chain and did not measure the depth when releasing the chain, I drop completely and not calculate

  15. Walter Daniel cardoso says:

    From what I can observe , I couldn't stop the chain and with the same weight and speed I managed to cut the chain and set the stern winch on fire.
