Yes but you never see the vid posted where one of these big waves hits sideways and that big ship heels over on its side and they're all squealing like little girls..They don't post those vids!
The thing I never realized until recently is that it's not simply getting hit by the big wave that's bad, it's that you are lifted up into the air 60 ft from the previous wave and then dropped 60 feet when you pass over it only to be hit by a 60 foot wave when you hit the bottom.
Yeah bro I was on a 60 foot yacht on my last vacation and we got caught in a legit storm and it was f’ing terrifying. It was probably nothing compared to that wave height and it still felt like a roller coaster for multiple hours straight
Yes. Ships experience reduced stability when riding the crest of the wave, and in following seas. Following seas also pose the risk of broaching-to, where the wave pushes you sideways from behind and causing the ship to capsize. If they ride the crest too long, they can experience total loss of stability and capsize for what looks like no reason. With that being said, the stability is constantly changing in all sea states, and it takes a good smart captain to bring everyone home safely.
How did you measure 60 ft? Depending on the ship, this could've been 100 or more feet. Aside from that, I'm curious if he would laugh as well if that ship actually broke apart. You don't mess with water.
@@niakoi7960 Well, first thanks for showing this respect to my error. Yeah, I said 60 ft approx, 'cause in my country we use meters and feets are a bit difficult. I know, this ships are huge like cities, and sea is wild anyways. 👍😉
He's a sailor. He expected it and trained for it, This is what he signed up for. If I was a sailor I wouldn't even consider myself a member of the crew until I experienced and survived one of these. But, I do get your point. :)-
Whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ that he died for your sins and whoever declares with their mouth that he is your Lord and Savior you shall be saved! Jesus's first word were _"Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand!"_ Repent!!! and turn to Jesus before its too late!
@@blaneycrabbe3390 the Fuck you on about? Where and how does it show he's stoned? He's the captain of a vessel. Believe it or not they get drug and alcohol tested.
Beautiful, I know all too well how big those waves can be, at night when it is all black the noise they make is truly horrifying. Especially when you too are in the water with them! Thanks for the memories! 🏴
During my tour in the Navy my ship, an aircraft carrier, experienced a North Sea storm and we rode that thing for 2-3 of the longest days I have ever lived. It tore the catwalks completely off the ship and we lost some aircraft and endured pure misery during the event. I'm no coward but I respect the North Sea (and all of the rest of them) and I'll tell you it's not a place to drop your guard. Kudos to the brave men who have managed it!!
The Irminger Sea is situated south of the Denmark Strait which separates Iceland from the east coast of Greenland by 250 miles of rough water. It is thought to be the windiest stretch of salt water on the globe and one of the stormiest places in the world. Ocean scientists have been studying the Irminger for the last 10 years. Hampered by its storms, powerful complex currents and convoluted seafloor topography, much about the sea remains unknown. Interestingly the sea is a narrow passage on the doorstep of the Arctic Circle and is a bottleneck on the “superhighway” of the oceans’ global circulation. It is the main route for waters flowing south from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic Ocean.
Yeah I had a pretty fucked up dream and to top it off at the end of it I was at some sort of beach fishing for something and I heard the waves were higher at night and when I actually saw the waves they were enormous and dark it was terrifying
If they encountered a storm like that they would sink. They only sailed during optimal weather conditions and eve. Then they sank alot. Better than starving.
@@Hercules003 Fuck off dude. His comment has literally NOTHING to do with shitty religions. Hes (rightfully) complementing the amazing engineers who design ships like this, often without any form of cad, etc as these ships are pretty old...
Going from France to Ireland by ferry we had this. My father drank, my mum slept and I ran from front to back of the boat being lighter and lighter and than heavier and heavier. Had a great time
How are they dead from this? This is a big storm but if you sail for months back then you will have to expect something like that And yeah who uses roman numerals today?
Es terrorífico el mar embravecido y que coraje el de los marineros todavía les causa risa esa montaña de agua. Yo me quedo segura en tierra. Creo que nunca haría un viaje por mar. Me da pánico. Bravo por ellos
You know that science has gone a long way when it's possible for someone to safely say "It's fucken awesome!" While directly confronting this monster. Kudos to the guys making those ships
@@jeremiasastorga8399 I see what you imply here, but what you said is widely unnecessary. Would you please let me know the purpose of this ridiculous comment?
I really truly think that lots and lots of people, definitely most, maybe even nearly all, would find they have this sort of side to themselves ... if it were more common for people to encounter opportunities to find out.
Oh god your name is almost true, I'm seeing your way more, even on this video I saw your comment like 5 minutes ago (and yes, I am currently falling in the bottomless pit that is old youtube videos): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hYuHKw5EI78.html

The vikings have traveled the north sea 1000 years ago, and they did it everyday, with boats that was 1-2 m over water. pretty impressive stuff.. But in 2018 Its not that bad to be honest. Its pretty standart conditions in the north sea, and we sail like this all the time. its nothing special
Jerry Glinski Guess I can see that...I did have a thought one time before I went skydiving for the first time that if my parachute didnt open and I was falling to the earth about to die I would probably start laughing and screaming like lt. dan in the rainstorm in forrest gump lol
Every time i read a balls joke like that, i lose 20 points of IQ. It's that stupid. That's 40 so far. Now i'll have to learn 3 new languages to get smart again.
Cheers to all the sailors before us who breathed, died, got lost and some excelled over these wild waves which I believe are the true representatives of nature's character which beholds power and beauty at the same time. The same water which gives life to all took countless lives of our old time simple sailors with nothing but a wooden boat and an Iron mind. Respect to them and love to all. Peace.
If it could've, it would've. But it didn't even threaten it. You only need to worry about waves like that when they come at you from the side and tip the ship over.
I remember i was on a cruise in Thailand and there was groups separated into different speed boats. We boarded on an island but after lunch it started to get really stormy and were obliged to board on the huge ship that could fit all those divided groups combined. The sea was really instable and the ship had to go over waves as high as 5-3 meters above surface level. I have sea sickness and so did the majority of the people there, so you could literally hear vomiting noises all throughout the voyage. Some foreign girls were looking at my dreadful careless look who had only the goal to reach the land in mind,they seemed to be unbothered by all the chaos around them lmao. My mom was praying out loud in front of everyone , and that was the first time in my life that i witnessed her doing that. My dad felt sick as well and the only physically unharmed person was my sister who kept recording us. We arrived in the end to the starting point safely but i suffered severe headaches the entire day until i finally slept. It was a very memorable day honestly. Thanks for reading the event that a bunch of inexperienced blockhead who happened to be reminded by that event while seeing this video. Have a nice day
Legend says the ship only survived due to the shear size and buoyancy of the captains nuts, laughing at certain death, that kept her sailing high over the mighty waves that day.
