Transcribing "Terror At Sea: The Sinking Of The Concordia"

Good day,

dear forum members!

Currently I'm involved in transcribing a 4channel documentary "Terror At Sea: The Sinking Of The Concordia".

I kindly ask everyone with a skillful ear to help me with the most difficult parts of the film.

The difficult parts are separated into MP3 pieces and are available for direct download.

Suggested text:

I'm not as strong, I'm gonna die, 'cos it's "you are not coming out of this one".


Is it correct?

I'm open to all suggestions & corrections.

I can't help with the dialog but I will suggest that you include several seconds (at least 10) of dialog before and after the section of interest. It's almost impossible to understand such a heavy accent (heavy to my American ear, anyway) without hearing more of it that you have provided. In addition, having some of the context may help in filling in the parts that otherwise can't be understood.

Sorry, Alek, but it really is unintelligible! I can only be sure of the narrator's line:

Almost exactly a hundred years on from the sinking of the Titanic, another luxury cruise liner is on course for disaster.

...gonna die. We're not coming out of this one.

Looking behind us, the ship is coming down behind us.

Mister Micawber, it just raises a question how at all did they manage to interview that man! ;-)

Here's another piece:

These are my suggestions; I'm not sure either. Remember that you must temper what you think you hear with commonsense: what the person would realistically be saying.
