Austronesians are the real kings of the sea. Sail over the pasific and indian ocean. They always live in islands. The ancestor of polinesian, south east asian, maori, hawaiian, etc.
@@HH-he4pw yeah since Southeast Asia is the crossroads of the trading path back in the day its crazy how they can cross the huge oceans... I guess since their galleon are way lighter than today ship they can just ride the waves.
@@sssharefff Yeah it was a hereditary knowledge i guess. The fact that austronesian decendants spread from hawaii to madagascar, across the polinesian and southeast asian islands, blows my mind. And they travelled through the oceans not the continent.
8:30-something like this happened to me once. I was on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, and we were supposed to go to five different islands. Unfortunately, there was a big storm heading our way, and so we had to quickly sail up the northeastern coast. This meant one stop was cancelled. But anyways, we went right into the storm. People were sick left and right. I remember someone vomited in the hallway. It was bad. The ship would go up, and then slam back down. The entire ship would violently shake. It was pretty alarming. Drawers would open and close without being prompted. Glasses in the bars would shake and hit each other. You weren’t really supposed to go out on the deck, because it was pretty dangerous. Luckily, I didn’t get seasick. It was actually kind of cool because if you jumped at the perfect moment while the ship was falling, you would be weightless for a split second. Still a bit scary.
My first and only cruise was in the west Caribbean back in 2006. Hurricane weather as well. Nobody could walk straight. We were constantly falling into one another. We awoke one morning to hear the captain apologize to everyone for the ship's wet condition. Apparently we went side ways in the night and took on water. The state rooms were flooded.
I was 13, surfing in Hawaii with some of my friends at Waimea Bay. It was a normal day with rideable waves about 3 feet tall. The sun was setting and all the lifeguards and beachgoers had left, my friends had it to ourselves and were catching waves at the lineup about 25 feet from shore. Then out of nowhere, all the way out on the horizon, we saw these huge lines slowly coming towards us. It was eerie and the mood became serious. We had never seen waves coming from so far out before and weren't sure what to do, we decided to swim towards them to attempt going under/over them before they broke. We swam as hard as we could towards the waves, but we were too slow. The wave, which now towered at around 15 feet, crashed right in front of us. I dove underwater to escape the blast and the rag-dolling lasted for a long, exhausting time before I resurfaced, only to see the next wave of equal height about to crash down on top of me. Same thing when I came up again, but on the third wave I was kept underwater for so long that I began to say my goodbyes to my family and god in my head. I had no energy, no breath, and I knew what awaited me if I was to make it to the surface again. I thought this is the place to let go. But, after a few seconds, I decided to make one last hail mary attempt to get to the surface. I made it, and that third wave was the last one in the set. My friends and I were amazed we all survived and slowly swam back to shore, with no words being said there or on the bus ride back home. We were all in shock. That "rogue" set of waves almost drowned all of us and I feel extremely lucky to have not been killed. Rogue waves do not only happen in deep sea- always be careful. Aloha.
When I was in the navy on submarines, we went under a hurricane and we were taking 10 degree rolls over 500 feet below the surface… I could only imagine how huge the waves were.
Ive always wondered what its like under the water of these gigantic waves and storms, good God its enough to make you kiss dirt as soon as you get on land.
@@EddiXP It could have been Isabel in 2003… It was quite some time ago. I can’t remember exactly what year it was. Either way it was pretty amazing how deep the water gets churned up during those storms.
I ask wats wondered how does it feel to be in a submarine, do you feel it when it goes deeper? And were you scared the first times? I mean just the submarine without big waves or storms
@@Crypto2638 for me being on a submarine was incredibly boring i never went through any major storm to me it almost felt like a windowless airplane I never experienced any rough conditions but I also didn’t last long as I hated it. For the most part it was gentle and quite smooth. The steeper angles were “intense” you had to hang onto something. It was quite cold as well
Unless you’ve ever been pushed underwater by a wave you’ll never truly completely understand just how scary the waves are and how that’s just a small bit of the oceans power
At the age of 6, I got dumped by a proportionately big wave, 3 times my size. I hit the ground hard and tumbled through the water with the crashing waves, I was shaken but okay. I'm 31 now and never stopped loving swimming.. when I can be bothered 😂 but yeah, just know that the ocean shows no mercy 🙃
@@jonathonwessling541omg same thing happened to me back when I was a child. I completely lost all sense of orientation and thought I’d die and I was in the water about to my hips
Waves at night are some of the scariest things. I helmed a USS Destroyer, the Fitzgerald, out in Japan one evening, and we were launched trying to out run a typhoon that was inbound. As night set, you couldn't tell the waves from the storm above until the water crashed over the bow, or lightning flashed and gave you a glimpse of the watery hell. Cresting some of those made you felt like the ship was aiming down like a dagger into the ocean, and watching the whole front disappear under the water and that water then overtaking the bridge windows made me wonder if we would come back up after a few of those. Still, one hell of experience that'll I'll never forget!
Wow that sounds crazy the Ocean scares me as well especially at night I wont even go into the ocean at night I dont know why I am scarred I guess its because I cant see it
Greetings I have a great respect for the ocean and have an understanding with the sharks They don't come where I am I don't go where they are I have never seen a shark on land🤣🤣
Here's a gnarly story :D I work as a maritime electrician on a big PSV (platform supply vessel). Currently, we transfer all kinds of oild and gasses to oil rigs out in the North Sea. One time, during a winter storm (average wave height of about 12-14 meters) I was walking to the stewards cabin to change a fluorescent lamp for him. Suddenly a monster wave hit and I swear to God I fell a complete free fall down an entire corridor, lamp in hand, and smashed my head and torso against the opposite wall on impact. I was fairly new still so the adrenaline was awesome haha i couldn't stop smiling after that. Managed to sort of wrap my upper body around the fluorescent lamp before impact to not have it burst and give out no-no gasses and glass shards everywhere. Im currently in my cabin as I'm writing this actually :P
Conclusion: The vikings heading west from Denmark to Scotland through the North Sea in tiny 20ft wooden boats needed giant sacks to carry their massive balls around.
I thought the large ships we have now can take a short but more dangerous route, as compared to the longer routes in the past but were safer. no fucking way a wooden boat could take the same shit as these monstrosities
I was pulled up and smashed into shore by a giant wave on Sicily as a child. Then it pulled me back into sea and I almost drowned, but my father came out and saved me. I was full of cuts and bruises, couldn't touch anything with my skin for a week. What a memory, still one of the best holidays I've ever had.
i love how the video ends when he starts talking about snow realizing it’s not about waves edit: jeez it’s been a year and I come back seeing that part get extended and a ton of likes on my comment, wow. thanks you guys
I am still waiting for my second date with the girl I asked out back in 1989. She told me I would see her again. Maybe her phone is disconnected or she is just waiting for a free weekend to call me. It will be a great second date. We are going to a viewing of, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and White Castle. Cut-offs are not always the end. If you would excuse me, I think I hear my telephone ringing. It might be Angela.
@@RobloxHeichel2018 It is like going out to a real hot date and the woman is really into the date and getting hot and heavy. Then she passes out before the deal is sealed.
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.
" I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea, I remember the fallen, do they think of me, when their bones in the ocean forever will be. " its a reference from a sea shantie
Served on the Midway. Enjoyed riding out two typhoons in the Pacific, 1959-60. The ocean is THE power House of the planet. Sailors should draw Hazardous Duty Pay any time their ship leaves portl. Oh, okay. We loved it. Still do. Once a Sailor always a sailor.
I guess the first 10 feet usually drowns you. The rest of the 15,990 feet of cold ocean depth is just there as backup to kill you in case the first 10’ fails.
The sailor is laughing at 14:15 because when you're in that situation, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the ride. No use being scared. If your captain isn't scared, you shouldn't be, either. Only people who love the sea will understand.
That's because behind the camera are people playing paper-scissors-rock for the next ride in the office chair. Sailors are not normal, but we are great at entertaining ourselves! :D
I was on a carrier in the Pacific. Can’t remember exactly where but we hit some massive waves a couple separate times. Quite exciting and as a young sailor I was proud about never getting sea sick.
I agree. When my dad was little, he went deep sea fishing with his older brother (older by 18 years). He told me that they paddled far out away from the island and he had to drop a rope more than 100x the length of his arm to go fishing for fish you only find in the deep, dark part of the ocean. And the fishes they get from the deep water look scary af. I couldn’t do it. Shxt I can’t even really swim.
I have experienced worse than any of these monster waves while working at sea. 2 general cargo ships, 4 oil tankers, and 1 car carrier, which was the worst of all. This is one of the most dangerous professions. God help them who are currently sailing in stormy weather.
Technically tsunamis are so powerful because of the wave length. A Nazaré wave may have a length of 2-300 feet or so, whereas a tsunami can have a wave length of tens or hundreds of kilometres. That means way more water that doesn’t stop coming, flooding inland.
I've sailed through the Bay of Biscay and North Sea and have to say it can be quite a hair-raising experience. Unlike the Barents Sea, which I always thought would be a wild experience, but was like a mill pond. You get good and bad days in all seas/oceans and I find it fascinating that it's only in recent times that we're starting to understand 'rogue waves'.
Yes I too have been in the bay of Biscay on a 750 ft long ship 53,000.00 thousand tonnes loaded in a gale and my hats off to the trawling fishermen out there disappearing under those waves and still fishing.
My dad's fav story to tell of his time in the navy, was being on the bridge during some really big weather and seeing green water go over them. He was on board a destroyer tender at the time, so it was pretty intense. He always wished he had had his camera on him at the time.
Darth. I'm interested in your dad's experience - do you know the ship? Water over the bridge, burrr! In 1978 I was a crew member on the destroyer tender USS Prairie AD15. We deployed on westpac into the teeth of a north pacific storm - we were late coming out of dry dock and had to sail as soon a possible to relieve the tender filling in for us. On the passage to Pearl Harbor we had 3 days of hurricane force winds and waves that swept the main deck 40 feet off the water line. We could not go out on deck, most of the sailors were sick and vomiting. The mess hall was in the forward part of the ship and it was a constant violent up and down world dropping out from under you - it stank of vomit - I'm nearly impervious to motion but I could only stay there for a few minutes before getting queasy. The command would let us experience the outside - we could go out on to the flying bridge for a few minutes. The chest high coaming kept you from being blown off you feet. I could take a minute or so but it was very difficult to breathe. But the waves! Seemed a mile apart stacked forever. The ship didn't missed a beat (luckily it turned out) but it was an intense and very tiring 3 days. Our passage took 7 days. After a few days of R&R we started our passage to Subic Bay. The ship, fresh out of dry dock, decided it needed more work and we spent many days dead in the water with main shaft problems. Dead in the calm, burning hot, glass smooth, electric blue tropical water. When we were moving it was 3 to 5 knots. 28 days and it seemed forever. But I'm glad to have experienced it - night's so black you couldn't tell if your eyes were open. Stars thick right to the horizon. We got to swim off the fantail in crystalline 3D fantasy water - gunners mates with M14's on shark watch. Somewhere near Guam we started moving at a consistent 10 knots and made our way on to a normal westpac (extended a month to 7 months!).
I was on 2 destroyer escorts homeported in Japan. Several times we had to transit the Sea of Japan in Dec. - Jan, To say it gets a little rough is a massive understatement. Footprints on the bulkhead weren't uncommon. If you timed it just right you could jump just as the ship crested a wave and kinda float there for two or three seconds. One trip we got caught in a storm, doing 35 - 45 degree rolls, when she rolled to starboard to 52 degrees according to the engine room inclinometer. The thing that scared me was when she just hung there for a few moments longer then she should have, like she was debating whether or not to come back or just continue the rest of the way. If we took on oil while underway (UNREP) when it was rough you could watch the oiler's screws come out of the water as she went over the waves. If it got too bad you couldn't go outside and sometimes they would even pull the aft lookout rather then lose him to the waves. Good times!! 😁👍
Tenders are pretty big ships too. The one that was permanently docked in Guam, the Samuel S. Gompers was a BIG ship. Tenders are like floating repair ships. They have to be big to have all the machinery repair equipment for the damaged destroyers.
@@randledewees4405 Went through all that my brother . . . . in a Destroyer stationed San Diego, CA. USS LF Mason DD852, an old JP5 4 boiler boat. I remember the Sea of Japan all too well. We had a ET go over the side of the boat when we took a 40 roller. He slid right off the gun mount in to the water. He gashed his leg really badly on the steel lifeline. Gunners mates assembled on the Helo deck with M14's. This guy should've been lunch, because the sharks were still hanging around from when the breakfast slop went over the fantail. These were really BIG sharks ! ! Turns out the guy never got touched . . . . . really strange, he said all he did was pray and that he actually heard a response to his prayers. Everyone believed that his faith saved him. We counted 11 sharks circling around him.
@@nilspetterhellvik5519 Well said, Nils. Why fear real life? Respect for the fishermen that face this to make a living. I was doing it only for fun on a sailing yacht.
@@MsTinkerbelle87 Yeah, as with comedy, jokes and seeing someone making a fool of themselves. This laughter can only be understood by those that were there. Considering your reply, you never were.
I have been at sea for 32 years passing trough storms of south Atlantic south Indian ocean and south Pacific in cargo and ballast - i have seen the power of the sea and storms. The waves of green water rolling over the deck of 350 m long ship breaking on wave breakers and still going as it is noting on their way hitting the accommodation with such force that doors came out of its hinges welded furniture in kitchen smashed to bulkheads. people thrown from their bunks furniture at cabins destroyed. Perhaps we did not know how close we were to the gate of hell but we returned. Damages were repaired we went home and after few months same story from beginning. I filmed huge waves and impressive mountains of water but camera can not show neither 5% of reality of the moment when recorded. the horrible whistling of more than 100 Knots wind the squealing of ships steel and roar of thousands of miles of sea and waves around deep 4 or five thousand meters. No one truly think in storm of the loneliness at sea of vulnerability of the ship, and very little chance to be saved if something happens. Now when I'm seventy and watching this videos I know that if I have to chose again it will be same. It was not easy life but it was life with a privilege to see and feel the might of the sea the anger and rage of wind and nature and to be the part of it.
My brain doesn’t like water where I can’t see the bottom. I have a very rational but irrational fear of drowning trapped underwater and can’t get out of something like a car. I can’t imagine the panic I’d feel seeing those huge waves in the middle of an ocean miles away from any help.
I have the same exact thought about water. I gotta be able to see the bottom. Otherwise how do I know what's in it? Gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
Read your comment. Soooo if you go on a cruise you could always bring your OWN life jacket AND a buoyant/floatable waterproof bag FULL of food. Just in case the ship were to sink. If someone has a FULL bag full of food it could last about 1 month. That should be more than enough time for help/rescue boats, helicopters to arrive. Otherwise there are tools you can buy for a few dollars that puncture car windows for a easy exit in the event one needs to exit quickly.
@@miatatude5362 okay, but have you been around the ocean? I went after a hurricAne, so everything from the middle of the ocean was on the beach. Jellyfish, saltwater crocs, I stepped on a freaking fish, because what are the chance of actually being able to step on a fish in the ocean. There was a whirlpool down the beach from me. The furthest I’ve been in the ocean is maybe about 15 feet. I don’t live near an ocean, I live on a lake but i think my main phobia that is the most pressing started when I had three dogs, how would I get all three of them out in time. Now I have a child with a car seat. Being around water In a vehicle, is a lot for me. I don’t tell people because I don’t want to seem ridiculous but yea, it petrifies me. My dad used to only take us to the lake on his boat, I like the shore, swimming on shore. Our lake you can’t see anything past about 3 meters, very dark, it’s just unnecessary. I know how to swim, I know nothing deadly is in their rationally. Irrationally, people let invasive species go all the time, just because a certain animal might not survive in our temperatures, it only needs to be out for a day, not released living their best life. Yeah, I ducking hate boats I don’t really see the point. It’s one thing if you are going scuba diving, that’s so cool and amazing. I just don’t see the point in going out to the middle of a lake to sit in hot open air and waters, where there is nothing of interest to see or do, and you don’t know what’s down there. I am a land mammal, I am comfortable being a land mammal. I will only do deep waters for dives.
I was in heavy seas off the Aleutian Islands in 1994 aboard a flat-bottomed amphibious ship while I was in the Navy. We were seeing 30-40 foot swells. I mostly just kept below decks but after a few days of this it's just exhausting, and it takes a while to get used to walking on dry land again. But the ship I was on was huge. I figured if smaller Navy vessels had been through this we could do it too.
you stayed below deck! I would be on the top holding on the rails with a life jacket on. After some days of clinging for dear life, that would be exhausting.

Back when I was in the marines, on the carrier Nimitz. We went through a storm that produced waves so high, they practically made the ship stop dead in the water. The XO looked at me, laughing while I was turning green 🤢😵💫. Thanks for the memories of the sea guys. Best time of my life, second only to my children and family. Best of luck to you and your families 🍀👍🏼☘️
I really enjoy seeing all the stories on here from former military personnel. Thank you all for your service! I know you hear that a lot and can understand it getting old to hear but honestly it’s the best I can do. Cheers lads!
Proud of you for hanging in there and getting your education. There have been countless youth spanning generations of families that haven't pursued their own educations as well so to hear anyone is actually interested in having an educated future makes my heart smile. Congratulations to you for the day you graduate.
I used to be a sport fishing captain, traveled all over the world to fish and I’ve never seen anything over 30 feet but countless times me and my entire crew werre sure we were going to die
Well go on an ocean beach on summer, you easily have one drown per day... AT LEAST... On the beach, with kids and grand pa... Ocean is a KILLER... Just go to surf in the ocean in winter, you'll have plenty of "Ok that maybe the end... NOW...".
On my first-ever cruise in 2008, we were sailing in the Bay of Biscay and were hit by the tail end of a hurricane. It was horrendous, I actually thought we were going to die (I was 11). Sunbeds were flying off the ship, we were made to wear life jackets, you weren't allowed to go on the top decks or the lowest decks, no lifts allowed etc. It was so scary and when the lights went off, it made it even worse. Everyone was told to stay in their rooms until the storm had cleared or until we found a port to dock in.
7:10 I seek refuge with The God from expelled satan Chapter 10 - Jonah (Prophet) 22. It is He who transports you across land and sea. Until, when you are on ships, sailing in a favorable wind, and rejoicing in it, a raging wind arrives. The waves surge over them from every side, and they realize that they are besieged. Thereupon they pray to The God, professing sincere devotion to Him: “If You save us from this, we will be among the appreciative.” 23. But then, when He has saved them, they commit violations on earth, and oppose justice. O people! Your violations are against your own souls. It is the enjoyment of the present life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do. 24. The likeness of the present life is this: water that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which the people and the animals eat. Until, when the earth puts on its fine appearance, and is beautified, and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it, Our command descends upon it by night or by day, and We turn it into stubble, as if it had not flourished the day before. We thus clarify the revelations for people who reflect. 25. The God invites to the Home of Peace, and guides whomever He wills to a straight path. 26. For those who have done good is goodness, and more. Neither gloom nor shame will come over their faces. These are the inhabitants of Paradise, abiding therein forever. 27. As for those who have earned evil deeds: a reward of similar evil, and shame will cover them. They will have no defense against The God-as if their faces are covered with dark patches of night. These are the inmates of the Fire, abiding therein forever. 28. On the Day when We will gather them altogether, then say to those who ascribed partners, “To your place, you and your partners.” Then We will separate between them, and their partners will say, “It was not us you were worshiping.” 29. “The God is sufficient witness between us and you. We were unaware of your worshiping us.” 30. There, every soul will experience what it had done previously; and they will be returned to The God, their True Master; and what they used to invent will fail them. 31. Say, “Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? And who controls the hearing and the sight? And who produces the living from the dead, and produces the dead from the living? And who governs the Order?” They will say, “The God.” Say, “Will you not be careful?” 32. Such is The God, your Lord-the True. What is there, beyond the truth, except falsehood? How are you turned away? 33. Thus your Lord’s Word proved true against those who disobeyed, for they do not believe. 34. Say, “Can any of your partners initiate creation, and then repeat it?” Say, “The God initiates creation, and then repeats it. How are you so deluded?” 35. Say, “Can any of your partners guide to the truth?” Say, “The God guides to the truth. Is He who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or he who does not guide, unless he himself is guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?” 36. Most of them follow nothing but assumptions; and assumptions avail nothing against the truth. The God is fully aware of what they do. 37. This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than The God. In fact, it is a confirmation of what preceded it (Bible, Psalms and Torah), and an elaboration of the Book. There is no doubt about it-it is from the Lord of the Universe. 38. Or do they say, “He has forged it”? Say, “Then produce a single chapter like it, and call upon whomever you can, apart from The God, if you are truthful.” 39. In fact, they deny what is beyond the limits of their knowledge, and whose explanation has not yet reached them. Thus those before them refused to believe. So note the consequences for the wrongdoers. 40. Among them are those who believe in it, and among them are those who do not believe in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the mischief-makers. 41. If they accuse you of lying, say, “I have my deeds, and you have your deeds. You are quit of what I do, and I am quit of what you do.”
I Seek refuge with God from expelled devil Chapter 31 - Luqman 28. Your creation and your resurrection are only as a single soul. The God is Hearing and Seeing. 29. Have you not seen how Th God merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night? That He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term? And that Allah is Cognizant of everything you do? 30. That is because The God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because The God is the Exalted, the Supreme. 31. Have you not seen how the ships sail through the sea, by the grace of The God, to show you of His wonders? In that are signs for every persevering, thankful person. 32. When waves, like canopies, cover them, they call upon The God, devoting their religion to Him. But when He has delivered them to dry land, some of them waver. No one renounces Our revelations except the treacherous blasphemer. 33. O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of The God is true. Therefore, do not let this (temporary) life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding The God. 34. With The God rests the knowledge of the Last Hour (The Dooms Day). He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. The God is All-Knowing, Well-Informed.
In 1966 I was on a Dutch Freighter called the Mass Lloyd. I was 16. My parents sent me off to the USA from India. Somewhere in the South China Sea we ended up in the middle of a Typoon. I was on the bridge with the Captain. We were really rocking and rolling so he faced the ship directly into the waves and dropped both anchors. These waves were monsters. On the Bridge looking as high as I could see was the top of the wave. The entire ship up to the bridge went under water then like a submarine the bow flew into the air. Those anchors held but to be honest I thought those waves were over 200 feet.
WHAT a lot of people do not know is that if it is say 20' waves means that at sea level it rises 20 ft and drops down 20 ft below sea level, that means actually a ship travels 40 ft up and down. These types of waves are from storms and wind, they are different than the waves a surfer uses, I was a commercial fisherman and have experienced some terrible and dangerous seas.
Back during my first deployment we had to take a hsv to somewhere for training and ended up in the middle of a hurricane. From what I remember the waves were huge like higher than the deck of the ship and had everyone scared. The hsv was rocking so much that it looked like we were going down, face to face with gigantic waves rocking forward and backwards. Had to get shots to stop the sea sickness. I don't know how big the waves were but I just knew I was about to be at the bottom of the ocean.
The North Atlantic during the winter time creates some HIGH seas. I remember being enroute to Kiel Germany onboard the USS Mount Whitney and learning what it was like to almost walk on the walls. The waves were so steep that one would be walking up the hallway and then running down. One wave almost sent one of the crew out to sea while they were on the smoke deck. Needless to say, the smoking area was off limits until we made it to our destination. Granted, my story wasn't so much seen as it was felt.
We would take some line and dangle a weight from it and attach the other end to the top of the bulkhead. That way you could see steep the angle was when hitting a swell.
The one rocking side to side, was totally because it lost power. This is due to this ship having a sophisticated ballast system that pumps ballast into tanks to counter the action of the waves. Without power the pumps couldn’t shift the ballast, so not really due to it ‘only’ being 100ft wide. If the pumps had been working the ship would have been very near completely stable.
A friend of mine works on a similar rescue ship (UK). And he told me that when such waves are coming, the people on the deck bet between every wave if it's going to roll them or not. He won ~300 pounds when everyone else bet that a wave (according to him around 90Feet) got them from roughly 1 o clock direction.
I was onboard the Norwegian Dawn in 2005 when we sailed through a storm and we were hit by a 70’ wave at one point. The ship took damage and people were hurt. It was a nightmare and pandemonium.
I used to work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and can remember riding a workboat between rigs and being at the bottom of a wave and seeing nothing but a wall of water all around. Waves that were 25-30' tall were not uncommon.
Actually, if we see gigantic waves it satisfies us, but not making us surfing, well, if you see gigantic waves like that you can go over 13 meters or more till it covers you till belly or arms, THAT means FUN for me
I too experienced something like that sailing from Bordeaux to The Azores islands on a bulk carrier, as Ordinary Seaman. Several ships, including the one I was on, were severely beaten and damaged. It lasted five days and nights.
Sounds horrible! I don't know how you could stand it for so long. I have never been drawn to cruise ships. Any place I can't just get off if I want to makes me uncomfortable. I will stay on the beach at the pool and in the ocean if it's a calm day! Kudos to all seafarers. God keep you all, on that mighty ocean.
So I live on the east coast of central Florida. Back in early September 2004 I was 12 years old and hurricane was to hit our area. The cruise industry thought it would be a great idea to offer a “cruise to no where” to locals needing to evacuate. Basically we got on a cruise ship out of port canaveral and the goal was to go around the hurricane and come back Into port once the storm passed. The waves at sea were insane. We would walk the halls in a zig zag pattern. Everyone was sea sick. 20-30 foot waves for 3 straight days. Then the port was to damaged to return. We got stuck at sea for over a week. Eventually they ported in Miami and bussed us back up to cape canaveral. Not before riots broke out on the ship. People were hysterical trapped on that boat for 10 days. It’s an experience I’ll never forget
@@manifestgtr We were fishing the Viking Bank off Norway coast,December and there was nothing funny about it, a lot of fishermen were lost during that storm. We suffered so much damage she had to go on the slips for repairs back in GY. Unless you've been in a storm keep your stupid remarks to yourself mate.
@manifestgtr, You're clearly a youngster, what are you Gen Z? We can spot you kids a mile away. You're so disrespectful because you lack extensive life experience outside of your computer. This man is obviously from different country and maybe they use different numbers to describe hurricane force? Or maybe it's a maritime designation? Did the possibility cross your mind? Don't assume you know what you don't know. From Aristotle, wisdom is to admit that you know nothing. I suggest you study his writings.
My best friend's Dad is in The Royal New Zealand Air Force and was on the ship in the Thumbnail of the video also at 13:49 and it was actually one of his mates that was recording the video. So when I saw the thumbnail on my feed I clicked the video instantly. Amazing video honestly
As someone who was on the USS Kitty Hawk for that wave, it was off the east coast of Japan, during a tropical storm, not a typhoon. Fengshen went thru PI, far to the south.
Travelled on an Irish sea ferry every weekend for 10 years been out in storm 12+, they run a lot of ballast, waves higher than the ship, you just sleep through it.
I am retired U.S.Navy 1964-1995. Six ships and twice around the Earth years apart, and I loved every minute being a Non-seasick loving the sea kind of Idiot (as you called us). My smallest ship was almost 300 feet long, and we hit a storm in the Med. in the mid-80's that lasted 3 full days. Crackers, and Bug Juice(homemade Kool-aid) was all the cooks could handle all that time. Best sleep I ever got when not on watch (alone) while others were GREEN all the time with their plastic bags. I still miss it.
i was a sailor for 2 years and only one time in my life I saw a monster wave, it was so big that I woke up on the freaking wall instead of my bed, my computer wicht where on the table slammed into my head waking me up, every single trasbin was tipped over, chairs was flipped 180 degrees, everything from the fridges to the rescue boat was destroyed
Ahh, the Shitty Kitty. I was riding a Spruance class destroyer. We decided to race. We got up to top speed pretty quick, but then the Kitty Hawk started blowing black smoke. We were doing 30 knots, she quickly caught up and was gone, we looked like we were tied to the pier in comparison
I saw monster waves once off the north coast of Teneriffa, one of the Canary Isles in the Atlantic. The waves were at least 20 meters high when they hit the coast - an unbelievable sight showing the monstrous power of nature.
Back in 2006 i was about 8 years old and my parents will still together. My Dad saved up to take us to his home state in Oaxaca, and we went to Acapulco Mexico and huatulco. We went on a cool little cruise and it took us out to privately owned beaches around the area. Later in the evening on the return to one of the resorts some seaweed got caught in our propellers and the waves where really picking up as it got darker. The titanic theme song came on and i lost it i started crying and i really thought we were goin down yo even my mom was getting worried and the DJ was keeping his cool about halfway down his bottle of 1800. This being the ride of his life, meanwhile everyone on boards struggling to fit on the inside and my dad was just holding onto me and my little brother telling us to try and enjoy it. Some crazy dude ended up tieing a rope to his waist and dove off the jetski to cut the seaweed with his machete. I remember taking a picture on the ledge of the boat. The top deck was a good 20-30 feet up in the air. Those waves were spilling over the stern at times. Ill say tho for whoevers reading, another thrill of mine. I was Departing from Denver international enroute to Wichita KS, and this wild pilot and flight control crew decides to let us through this lightning storm cause we were in a small ass bombardier jet. Its only an hour flight. And if we didnt take of then, we'd be delayed a whole more 6 hours or more due to weather. So we take off and ascend for a good 2 minutes and bam that sucker started jolting like nothing ive ever felt before and the pilotwas telling us to remain calm as all the lights inside the cabin turned off. I think he ended up turning thr whole plane off and on. Ive been on a good 16different flights in my life. Ive never flown in a plane that quiet before. All you could hear was whisps of air and ppl breathing
Correcting a piece of info in the video. He says that freak waves are whipped up by high winds. This is not how I believe they are widely explained. Firs of all just think about it, look how the wind strength is in the clip around 6:40, and look how ridiculously huge that wave is-doesn’t seem feasible. The explanation I’ve heard that makes the most sense intuitively is how wavelengths combine. Imagine you drop three stones in a pond in a perfect equilateral triangle. Where the ripples overlap the wave lengths combine and become larger. In the center, three wavelengths will overlap and form a short lasting peek. In the ocean there are many different currents and directions of individual waves, when three or four or five wavelengths overlap you may see a wave so large that it looks like magic.
Laird Hamilton and 2 guys that he Tow surfs with were the “Stunt Surfers” in that movie. I remember seeing them in the credits. Can’t remember the 2 other guys, but they were considered the pioneers of Tow in surfing.
I've been on 6 cruises and granted these ships are huge, but back in 1987, we went on a 1 day cruise gambling ship. It was about the size of a Love Boat type of ship, much smaller than modern day cruise ships, and we were caught in very high seas in the Gulf of Mexico. I wanna say the waves were around 30-40ft, and maybe even larger. Ship tossed and turned violently, and most everyone on board got sick. But I've never seen waves anything near that big since I've cruised on modern ships. I wonder if the technology just wasn't as good back then, cause I can't believe they would have left port knowing the seas were that violent. We sailed out of Corpus Christi that day.
Probably because adults say constantly if you go into the ocean you’ll get swept away, if you are a good swimmer however and are strong you could swim your way back if stuck in the current. Don’t worry onlookers would call people to save you even if you couldn’t get free from the current!
I personally love to go on vacation to countries like Spain and visit the beach, also I love windy weather and smashing myself into some waves...but this here, nah that's damn scary
I have never even come close to riding the waves that you revealed today, frightening mostly because the sea is an unforgiving and deadly place. Even the very best and most experienced captains have been lost at sea, to see the aircraft carrier having waves break upon the deck is incredible. Can you imagine being a pilot having to land on an aircraft carrier, of course not in such heavy seas but they do practice landing in some pretty rough weather
I Seek refuge with The God from expelled devil Chapter 31 - Luqman 28. Your creation and your resurrection are only as a single soul. The God is Hearing and Seeing. 29. Have you not seen how Th God merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night? That He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term? And that Allah is Cognizant of everything you do? 30. That is because The God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because The God is the Exalted, the Supreme. 31. Have you not seen how the ships sail through the sea, by the grace of The God, to show you of His wonders? In that are signs for every persevering, thankful person. 32.And as soon as they are overwhelmed by waves like mountains, they cry out to The God ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But when He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, only some become relatively grateful. And none rejects Our signs except whoever is deceitful, ungrateful. 33. O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of The God is true. Therefore, do not let this (temporary) life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding The God. 34. With The God rests the knowledge of the Last Hour (The Dooms Day). He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. The God is All-Knowing, Well-Informed. Have a good night ..
Search “USS Carney Perfect Storm”. Was on that ship during that Mediterranean storm. Some great wave footage - submerging cargo ships and the 505 ft long destroyer.
@14:41 the Captain was laughing, he's on. a rescue vessel. Going to and from the oil rigs making sure things are safe and secure. I've had the honor of talking to him on his RUclips channel. Brave and dedicated crew the whole lot of them.
Ive been working on container ships almost all my life and Ive seen waves like that almost every year specially in the pacific. It look scary on video, but it feel much different on the ship and its normal to hear people laughing :)
The 2011 Japan Tsunami taught people that sea walls dont always work, but some sea walls( that people scoffed at & thought unnecessary) saved a whole town. They also learned the incredible horrible power of water to travel great distances inland. Its always better to get as high up as possible (no matter where you are). In Hawaii we have a beach called Lumahai, we nicknamed it Luma- die beach because no matter how many warning signs there are posted, the visitors ignore them and stand at the shoreline awaiting the MASSIVE shorebreak waves! Each time Hawaii has a Tsunami warning( even with sirens), inevitably hundreds of excited tourists run out to beaches like Waikiki and eagerly anticipate the oncoming colossal wave ( cameras ready).🙄
@eringemini7091, It's hard to believe some people are so massively ignorant of the dangers of bad weather whether coming from the sky or the sea or an overflowing river! As a kid in the '70s learning emergency situations and awareness was a part of our sixth grade school curriculum. Obviously they've removed it these days!
Being a Submariner we were in the North and those seas are crazy....I remember the pilot was announcing Surface-Submerged repeatedly until the O.O.D. was annoyed....and of course fire control throwing up lol 😆
I was in the US navy for 8 years and majority of the time at sea as ship's crew unfortunately youtube did not exist then but the things I seen and experienced seeing the waves outside is one but walking on walls and going up or down stairwells without climbing or walking is amazing being hit by waves so hard that it bends the lifelines inward and causes damage to the hull yea good times
I was on the USS John F. Kennedy in 89-92. On the way back to Norfolk in 91, we hit the southern end of a big storm. It was so big they made a movie about it, called Tye Perfect Storm!
It may be scary viewing this, but as a sailor, it gives a different kind of adrenaline. Especially when steering inside a storm battling rolling forces. Its F U N.
It takes a special kind of person to become a Sailor. I was crew on the USS Ranger CV-61 when we were returning from WestPac '87. We hit the storm waves from a hurricane that originated in the Gulf of Alaska. They were at least as big as those you showed the USS Kitty Hawk. It's not for the weak hearted. The crews of our escorts has it worse. I watched the frigate on the Port side imitate a dolphin e with only its stack above water at times.
Chapter 10 - Jonah (Prophet) I seek refuge with The God from expelled devil 22. It is He who transports you across land and sea. Until, when you are on ships, sailing in a favorable wind, and rejoicing in it, a raging wind arrives. The waves surge over them from every side, and they realize that they are besieged. Thereupon they pray to The God, professing sincere devotion to Him: “If You save us from this, we will be among the appreciative.” 23. But then, when He has saved them, they commit violations on earth, and oppose justice. O people! Your violations are against your own souls. It is the enjoyment of the present life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do. 24. The likeness of the present life is this: water that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which the people and the animals eat. Until, when the earth puts on its fine appearance, and is beautified, and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it, Our command descends upon it by night or by day, and We turn it into stubble, as if it had not flourished the day before. We thus clarify the revelations for people who reflect. 25. The God invites to the Home of Peace, and guides whomever He wills to a straight path. 26. For those who have done good is goodness, and more. Neither gloom nor shame will come over their faces. These are the inhabitants of Paradise, abiding therein forever. 27. As for those who have earned evil deeds: a reward of similar evil, and shame will cover them. They will have no defense against The God-as if their faces are covered with dark patches of night. These are the inmates of the Fire, abiding therein forever. Have a good night..
I was a paramedic on an oil platform out in the Gulf of Mexico and one of the fun things to do was go down the stairs to the very bottom level and stand on platform that sits just above the surface of the water and watch the waves crash against the legs of the rig itself.

8:30-something like this happened to me once. I was on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, and we were supposed to go to five different islands. Unfortunately, there was a big storm heading our way, and so we had to quickly sail up the northeastern coast. This meant one stop was cancelled. But anyways, we went right into the storm. People were sick left and right. I remember someone vomited in the hallway. It was bad. The ship would go up, and then slam back down. The entire ship would violently shake. It was pretty alarming. Drawers would open and close without being prompted. Glasses in the bars would shake and hit each other. You weren’t really supposed to go out on the deck, because it was pretty dangerous. Luckily, I didn’t get seasick. It was actually kind of cool because if you jumped at the perfect moment while the ship was falling, you would be weightless for a split second. Still a bit scary.
My first and only cruise was in the west Caribbean back in 2006. Hurricane weather as well.
Nobody could walk straight. We were constantly falling into one another.
We awoke one morning to hear the captain apologize to everyone for the ship's wet condition. Apparently we went side ways in the night and took on water. The state rooms were flooded.

@Dick Johnson ....what?
I was 13, surfing in Hawaii with some of my friends at Waimea Bay. It was a normal day with rideable waves about 3 feet tall. The sun was setting and all the lifeguards and beachgoers had left, my friends had it to ourselves and were catching waves at the lineup about 25 feet from shore. Then out of nowhere, all the way out on the horizon, we saw these huge lines slowly coming towards us. It was eerie and the mood became serious. We had never seen waves coming from so far out before and weren't sure what to do, we decided to swim towards them to attempt going under/over them before they broke. We swam as hard as we could towards the waves, but we were too slow. The wave, which now towered at around 15 feet, crashed right in front of us. I dove underwater to escape the blast and the rag-dolling lasted for a long, exhausting time before I resurfaced, only to see the next wave of equal height about to crash down on top of me. Same thing when I came up again, but on the third wave I was kept underwater for so long that I began to say my goodbyes to my family and god in my head. I had no energy, no breath, and I knew what awaited me if I was to make it to the surface again. I thought this is the place to let go. But, after a few seconds, I decided to make one last hail mary attempt to get to the surface. I made it, and that third wave was the last one in the set. My friends and I were amazed we all survived and slowly swam back to shore, with no words being said there or on the bus ride back home. We were all in shock. That "rogue" set of waves almost drowned all of us and I feel extremely lucky to have not been killed. Rogue waves do not only happen in deep sea- always be careful. Aloha.

When I was in the navy on submarines, we went under a hurricane and we were taking 10 degree rolls over 500 feet below the surface… I could only imagine how huge the waves were.
Ive always wondered what its like under the water of these gigantic waves and storms, good God its enough to make you kiss dirt as soon as you get on land.
That's pretty insane. Do you remember which hurricane it was by chance? Out of curiosity..
@@EddiXP It could have been Isabel in 2003… It was quite some time ago. I can’t remember exactly what year it was. Either way it was pretty amazing how deep the water gets churned up during those storms.
I ask wats wondered how does it feel to be in a submarine, do you feel it when it goes deeper? And were you scared the first times? I mean just the submarine without big waves or storms
@@Crypto2638 for me being on a submarine was incredibly boring i never went through any major storm to me it almost felt like a windowless airplane I never experienced any rough conditions but I also didn’t last long as I hated it. For the most part it was gentle and quite smooth. The steeper angles were “intense” you had to hang onto something. It was quite cold as well
I think the laughter is relief. Like a rollercoaster. You have an intense movement through a turn and then feel relieved and joy that you didn't die.
nah i know alot of ship guys they are just nuts dude lol.
that laugh was not relief, i'm pretty sure this man is mad he was enjoying it
Some people just enjoy the thrill
I would enjoy that too
Sometimes you gotta laugh so you don’t cry or scream in a situation like that! XDD
Unless you’ve ever been pushed underwater by a wave you’ll never truly completely understand just how scary the waves are and how that’s just a small bit of the oceans power
At the age of 6, I got dumped by a proportionately big wave, 3 times my size. I hit the ground hard and tumbled through the water with the crashing waves, I was shaken but okay. I'm 31 now and never stopped loving swimming.. when I can be bothered 😂 but yeah, just know that the ocean shows no mercy 🙃
@@jonathonwessling541omg same thing happened to me back when I was a child. I completely lost all sense of orientation and thought I’d die and I was in the water about to my hips
@@merylstreeptasticyou reached the truth
If the power of the ocean currents could be harnessed it would be the largest bomb able of splitting the planet.
Ocean has crazy levels of BDE.
Waves at night are some of the scariest things. I helmed a USS Destroyer, the Fitzgerald, out in Japan one evening, and we were launched trying to out run a typhoon that was inbound. As night set, you couldn't tell the waves from the storm above until the water crashed over the bow, or lightning flashed and gave you a glimpse of the watery hell. Cresting some of those made you felt like the ship was aiming down like a dagger into the ocean, and watching the whole front disappear under the water and that water then overtaking the bridge windows made me wonder if we would come back up after a few of those.
Still, one hell of experience that'll I'll never forget!
Very vivid imagery, thank you for sharing!
Wow that sounds crazy the Ocean scares me as well especially at night I wont even go into the ocean at night I dont know why I am scarred I guess its because I cant see it

Here's a gnarly story :D I work as a maritime electrician on a big PSV (platform supply vessel). Currently, we transfer all kinds of oild and gasses to oil rigs out in the North Sea. One time, during a winter storm (average wave height of about 12-14 meters) I was walking to the stewards cabin to change a fluorescent lamp for him. Suddenly a monster wave hit and I swear to God I fell a complete free fall down an entire corridor, lamp in hand, and smashed my head and torso against the opposite wall on impact. I was fairly new still so the adrenaline was awesome haha i couldn't stop smiling after that. Managed to sort of wrap my upper body around the fluorescent lamp before impact to not have it burst and give out no-no gasses and glass shards everywhere. Im currently in my cabin as I'm writing this actually :P

I agree. When my dad was little, he went deep sea fishing with his older brother (older by 18 years). He told me that they paddled far out away from the island and he had to drop a rope more than 100x the length of his arm to go fishing for fish you only find in the deep, dark part of the ocean. And the fishes they get from the deep water look scary af. I couldn’t do it. Shxt I can’t even really swim.
I have experienced worse than any of these monster waves while working at sea. 2 general cargo ships, 4 oil tankers, and 1 car carrier, which was the worst of all. This is one of the most dangerous professions. God help them who are currently sailing in stormy weather.
The oceans are always simultaneously magnificently beautiful and absolutely terrifying
Right. "Never turn your back on the ocean," as they say.
This is why i prefer mountain vacations rather than beach/sea vacations. The mountains won't suddely wake up and kill me. They stay put.
Technically tsunamis are so powerful because of the wave length. A Nazaré wave may have a length of 2-300 feet or so, whereas a tsunami can have a wave length of tens or hundreds of kilometres. That means way more water that doesn’t stop coming, flooding inland.

My dad's fav story to tell of his time in the navy, was being on the bridge during some really big weather and seeing green water go over them. He was on board a destroyer tender at the time, so it was pretty intense. He always wished he had had his camera on him at the time.
Darth. I'm interested in your dad's experience - do you know the ship? Water over the bridge, burrr!
In 1978 I was a crew member on the destroyer tender USS Prairie AD15. We deployed on westpac into the teeth of a north pacific storm - we were late coming out of dry dock and had to sail as soon a possible to relieve the tender filling in for us. On the passage to Pearl Harbor we had 3 days of hurricane force winds and waves that swept the main deck 40 feet off the water line. We could not go out on deck, most of the sailors were sick and vomiting. The mess hall was in the forward part of the ship and it was a constant violent up and down world dropping out from under you - it stank of vomit - I'm nearly impervious to motion but I could only stay there for a few minutes before getting queasy. The command would let us experience the outside - we could go out on to the flying bridge for a few minutes. The chest high coaming kept you from being blown off you feet. I could take a minute or so but it was very difficult to breathe. But the waves! Seemed a mile apart stacked forever. The ship didn't missed a beat (luckily it turned out) but it was an intense and very tiring 3 days. Our passage took 7 days.
After a few days of R&R we started our passage to Subic Bay. The ship, fresh out of dry dock, decided it needed more work and we spent many days dead in the water with main shaft problems. Dead in the calm, burning hot, glass smooth, electric blue tropical water. When we were moving it was 3 to 5 knots. 28 days and it seemed forever. But I'm glad to have experienced it - night's so black you couldn't tell if your eyes were open. Stars thick right to the horizon. We got to swim off the fantail in crystalline 3D fantasy water - gunners mates with M14's on shark watch. Somewhere near Guam we started moving at a consistent 10 knots and made our way on to a normal westpac (extended a month to 7 months!).
I was on 2 destroyer escorts homeported in Japan. Several times we had to transit the Sea of Japan in Dec. - Jan, To say it gets a little rough is a massive understatement. Footprints on the bulkhead weren't uncommon. If you timed it just right you could jump just as the ship crested a wave and kinda float there for two or three seconds. One trip we got caught in a storm, doing 35 - 45 degree rolls, when she rolled to starboard to 52 degrees according to the engine room inclinometer. The thing that scared me was when she just hung there for a few moments longer then she should have, like she was debating whether or not to come back or just continue the rest of the way.
If we took on oil while underway (UNREP) when it was rough you could watch the oiler's screws come out of the water as she went over the waves. If it got too bad you couldn't go outside and sometimes they would even pull the aft lookout rather then lose him to the waves. Good times!! 😁👍
Tenders are pretty big ships too. The one that was permanently docked in Guam, the Samuel S. Gompers was a BIG ship. Tenders are like floating repair ships. They have to be big to have all the machinery repair equipment for the damaged destroyers.
@@randledewees4405 Went through all that my brother . . . . in a Destroyer stationed San Diego, CA. USS LF Mason DD852, an old JP5 4 boiler boat. I remember the Sea of Japan all too well. We had a ET go over the side of the boat when we took a 40 roller. He slid right off the gun mount in to the water. He gashed his leg really badly on the steel lifeline. Gunners mates assembled on the Helo deck with M14's. This guy should've been lunch, because the sharks were still hanging around from when the breakfast slop went over the fantail. These were really BIG sharks ! ! Turns out the guy never got touched . . . . . really strange, he said all he did was pray and that he actually heard a response to his prayers. Everyone believed that his faith saved him. We counted 11 sharks circling around him.

I have been at sea for 32 years passing trough storms of south Atlantic south Indian ocean and south Pacific in cargo and ballast - i have seen the power of the sea and storms. The waves of green water rolling over the deck of 350 m long ship breaking on wave breakers and still going as it is noting on their way hitting the accommodation with such force that doors came out of its hinges welded furniture in kitchen smashed to bulkheads. people thrown from their bunks furniture at cabins destroyed. Perhaps we did not know how close we were to the gate of hell but we returned. Damages were repaired we went home and after few months same story from beginning. I filmed huge waves and impressive mountains of water but camera can not show neither 5% of reality of the moment when recorded. the horrible whistling of more than 100 Knots wind the squealing of ships steel and roar of thousands of miles of sea and waves around deep 4 or five thousand meters. No one truly think in storm of the loneliness at sea of vulnerability of the ship, and very little chance to be saved if something happens. Now when I'm seventy and watching this videos I know that if I have to chose again it will be same. It was not easy life but it was life with a privilege to see and feel the might of the sea the anger and rage of wind and nature and to be the part of it.
My brain doesn’t like water where I can’t see the bottom.
I have a very rational but irrational fear of drowning trapped underwater and can’t get out of something like a car.
I can’t imagine the panic I’d feel seeing those huge waves in the middle of an ocean miles away from any help.
I have the same exact thought about water. I gotta be able to see the bottom. Otherwise how do I know what's in it? Gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
Read your comment. Soooo if you go on a cruise you could always bring your OWN life jacket AND a buoyant/floatable waterproof bag FULL of food. Just in case the ship were to sink. If someone has a FULL bag full of food it could last about 1 month. That should be more than enough time for help/rescue boats, helicopters to arrive. Otherwise there are tools you can buy for a few dollars that puncture car windows for a easy exit in the event one needs to exit quickly.
That's pretty much thalassophobia
@@miatatude5362 Well I'm "the las' oaf o be a" gettin in that water.
@@miatatude5362 okay, but have you been around the ocean? I went after a hurricAne, so everything from the middle of the ocean was on the beach. Jellyfish, saltwater crocs, I stepped on a freaking fish, because what are the chance of actually being able to step on a fish in the ocean. There was a whirlpool down the beach from me. The furthest I’ve been in the ocean is maybe about 15 feet.
I don’t live near an ocean, I live on a lake but i think my main phobia that is the most pressing started when I had three dogs, how would I get all three of them out in time. Now I have a child with a car seat. Being around water In a vehicle, is a lot for me. I don’t tell people because I don’t want to seem ridiculous but yea, it petrifies me.
My dad used to only take us to the lake on his boat, I like the shore, swimming on shore. Our lake you can’t see anything past about 3 meters, very dark, it’s just unnecessary. I know how to swim, I know nothing deadly is in their rationally.
Irrationally, people let invasive species go all the time, just because a certain animal might not survive in our temperatures, it only needs to be out for a day, not released living their best life.
Yeah, I ducking hate boats I don’t really see the point.
It’s one thing if you are going scuba diving, that’s so cool and amazing. I just don’t see the point in going out to the middle of a lake to sit in hot open air and waters, where there is nothing of interest to see or do, and you don’t know what’s down there. I am a land mammal, I am comfortable being a land mammal. I will only do deep waters for dives.

I was in heavy seas off the Aleutian Islands in 1994 aboard a flat-bottomed amphibious ship while I was in the Navy. We were seeing 30-40 foot swells. I mostly just kept below decks but after a few days of this it's just exhausting, and it takes a while to get used to walking on dry land again. But the ship I was on was huge. I figured if smaller Navy vessels had been through this we could do it too.
you stayed below deck! I would be on the top holding on the rails with a life jacket on. After some days of clinging for dear life, that would be exhausting.

On my first-ever cruise in 2008, we were sailing in the Bay of Biscay and were hit by the tail end of a hurricane. It was horrendous, I actually thought we were going to die (I was 11). Sunbeds were flying off the ship, we were made to wear life jackets, you weren't allowed to go on the top decks or the lowest decks, no lifts allowed etc. It was so scary and when the lights went off, it made it even worse. Everyone was told to stay in their rooms until the storm had cleared or until we found a port to dock in.
7:10 I seek refuge with The God from expelled satan
Chapter 10 - Jonah (Prophet)
22. It is He who transports you across land and sea. Until, when you are on ships, sailing in a favorable wind, and rejoicing in it, a raging wind arrives. The waves surge over them from every side, and they realize that they are besieged. Thereupon they pray to The God, professing sincere devotion to Him: “If You save us from this, we will be among the appreciative.”
23. But then, when He has saved them, they commit violations on earth, and oppose justice. O people! Your violations are against your own souls. It is the enjoyment of the present life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.
24. The likeness of the present life is this: water that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which the people and the animals eat. Until, when the earth puts on its fine appearance, and is beautified, and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it, Our command descends upon it by night or by day, and We turn it into stubble, as if it had not flourished the day before. We thus clarify the revelations for people who reflect.
25. The God invites to the Home of Peace, and guides whomever He wills to a straight path.
26. For those who have done good is goodness, and more. Neither gloom nor shame will come over their faces. These are the inhabitants of Paradise, abiding therein forever.
27. As for those who have earned evil deeds: a reward of similar evil, and shame will cover them. They will have no defense against The God-as if their faces are covered with dark patches of night. These are the inmates of the Fire, abiding therein forever.
28. On the Day when We will gather them altogether, then say to those who ascribed partners, “To your place, you and your partners.” Then We will separate between them, and their partners will say, “It was not us you were worshiping.”
29. “The God is sufficient witness between us and you. We were unaware of your worshiping us.”
30. There, every soul will experience what it had done previously; and they will be returned to The God, their True Master; and what they used to invent will fail them.
31. Say, “Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? And who controls the hearing and the sight? And who produces the living from the dead, and produces the dead from the living? And who governs the Order?” They will say, “The God.” Say, “Will you not be careful?”
32. Such is The God, your Lord-the True. What is there, beyond the truth, except falsehood? How are you turned away?
33. Thus your Lord’s Word proved true against those who disobeyed, for they do not believe.
34. Say, “Can any of your partners initiate creation, and then repeat it?” Say, “The God initiates creation, and then repeats it. How are you so deluded?”
35. Say, “Can any of your partners guide to the truth?” Say, “The God guides to the truth. Is He who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or he who does not guide, unless he himself is guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?”
36. Most of them follow nothing but assumptions; and assumptions avail nothing against the truth. The God is fully aware of what they do.
37. This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than The God. In fact, it is a confirmation of what preceded it (Bible, Psalms and Torah), and an elaboration of the Book. There is no doubt about it-it is from the Lord of the Universe.
38. Or do they say, “He has forged it”? Say, “Then produce a single chapter like it, and call upon whomever you can, apart from The God, if you are truthful.”
39. In fact, they deny what is beyond the limits of their knowledge, and whose explanation has not yet reached them. Thus those before them refused to believe. So note the consequences for the wrongdoers.
40. Among them are those who believe in it, and among them are those who do not believe in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the mischief-makers.
41. If they accuse you of lying, say, “I have my deeds, and you have your deeds. You are quit of what I do, and I am quit of what you do.”
I Seek refuge with God from expelled devil
Chapter 31 - Luqman
28. Your creation and your resurrection are only as a single soul. The God is Hearing and Seeing.
29. Have you not seen how Th God merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night? That He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term? And that Allah is Cognizant of everything you do?
30. That is because The God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because The God is the Exalted, the Supreme.
31. Have you not seen how the ships sail through the sea, by the grace of The God, to show you of His wonders? In that are signs for every persevering, thankful person.
32. When waves, like canopies, cover them, they call upon The God, devoting their religion to Him. But when He has delivered them to dry land, some of them waver. No one renounces Our revelations except the treacherous blasphemer.
33. O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of The God is true. Therefore, do not let this (temporary) life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding The God.
34. With The God rests the knowledge of the Last Hour (The Dooms Day). He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. The God is All-Knowing, Well-Informed.
@@erhanabdurrahman9381 what the fuck?
In 1966 I was on a Dutch Freighter called the Mass Lloyd. I was 16. My parents sent me off to the USA from India. Somewhere in the South China Sea we ended up in the middle of a Typoon. I was on the bridge with the Captain. We were really rocking and rolling so he faced the ship directly into the waves and dropped both anchors. These waves were monsters. On the Bridge looking as high as I could see was the top of the wave. The entire ship up to the bridge went under water then like a submarine the bow flew into the air. Those anchors held but to be honest I thought those waves were over 200 feet.

WHAT a lot of people do not know is that if it is say 20' waves means that at sea level it rises 20 ft and drops down 20 ft below sea level, that means actually a ship travels 40 ft up and down. These types of waves are from storms and wind, they are different than the waves a surfer uses, I was a commercial fisherman and have experienced some terrible and dangerous seas.

Back during my first deployment we had to take a hsv to somewhere for training and ended up in the middle of a hurricane. From what I remember the waves were huge like higher than the deck of the ship and had everyone scared. The hsv was rocking so much that it looked like we were going down, face to face with gigantic waves rocking forward and backwards. Had to get shots to stop the sea sickness. I don't know how big the waves were but I just knew I was about to be at the bottom of the ocean.
The North Atlantic during the winter time creates some HIGH seas. I remember being enroute to Kiel Germany onboard the USS Mount Whitney and learning what it was like to almost walk on the walls. The waves were so steep that one would be walking up the hallway and then running down. One wave almost sent one of the crew out to sea while they were on the smoke deck. Needless to say, the smoking area was off limits until we made it to our destination. Granted, my story wasn't so much seen as it was felt.
We hitnsome huge swells in the Indian ocean and in the Marianas trench. 30 foot swells for sure.
We would take some line and dangle a weight from it and attach the other end to the top of the bulkhead. That way you could see steep the angle was when hitting a swell.
The one rocking side to side, was totally because it lost power. This is due to this ship having a sophisticated ballast system that pumps ballast into tanks to counter the action of the waves.
Without power the pumps couldn’t shift the ballast, so not really due to it ‘only’ being 100ft wide. If the pumps had been working the ship would have been very near completely stable.
A friend of mine works on a similar rescue ship (UK).
And he told me that when such waves are coming, the people on the deck bet between every wave if it's going to roll them or not.
He won ~300 pounds when everyone else bet that a wave (according to him around 90Feet) got them from roughly 1 o clock direction.
Excuse me but putting the duck sound affect when the sea princess got hit by the wave should not have made me laugh the way I did lmao

I was onboard the Norwegian Dawn in 2005 when we sailed through a storm and we were hit by a 70’ wave at one point. The ship took damage and people were hurt. It was a nightmare and pandemonium.
I used to work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and can remember riding a workboat between rigs and being at the bottom of a wave and seeing nothing but a wall of water all around. Waves that were 25-30' tall were not uncommon.

I too experienced something like that sailing from Bordeaux to The Azores islands on a bulk carrier, as Ordinary Seaman. Several ships, including the one I was on, were severely beaten and damaged. It lasted five days and nights.
Sounds horrible! I don't know how you could stand it for so long. I have never been drawn to cruise ships. Any place I can't just get off if I want to makes me uncomfortable.

So I live on the east coast of central Florida. Back in early September 2004 I was 12 years old and hurricane was to hit our area. The cruise industry thought it would be a great idea to offer a “cruise to no where” to locals needing to evacuate. Basically we got on a cruise ship out of port canaveral and the goal was to go around the hurricane and come back Into port once the storm passed.
The waves at sea were insane. We would walk the halls in a zig zag pattern. Everyone was sea sick. 20-30 foot waves for 3 straight days. Then the port was to damaged to return. We got stuck at sea for over a week. Eventually they ported in Miami and bussed us back up to cape canaveral. Not before riots broke out on the ship. People were hysterical trapped on that boat for 10 days. It’s an experience I’ll never forget

I saw monster waves once off the north coast of Teneriffa, one of the Canary Isles in the Atlantic. The waves were at least 20 meters high when they hit the coast - an unbelievable sight showing the monstrous power of nature.
Back in 2006 i was about 8 years old and my parents will still together. My Dad saved up to take us to his home state in Oaxaca, and we went to Acapulco Mexico and huatulco. We went on a cool little cruise and it took us out to privately owned beaches around the area. Later in the evening on the return to one of the resorts some seaweed got caught in our propellers and the waves where really picking up as it got darker. The titanic theme song came on and i lost it i started crying and i really thought we were goin down yo even my mom was getting worried and the DJ was keeping his cool about halfway down his bottle of 1800. This being the ride of his life, meanwhile everyone on boards struggling to fit on the inside and my dad was just holding onto me and my little brother telling us to try and enjoy it. Some crazy dude ended up tieing a rope to his waist and dove off the jetski to cut the seaweed with his machete. I remember taking a picture on the ledge of the boat. The top deck was a good 20-30 feet up in the air. Those waves were spilling over the stern at times. Ill say tho for whoevers reading, another thrill of mine. I was Departing from Denver international enroute to Wichita KS, and this wild pilot and flight control crew decides to let us through this lightning storm cause we were in a small ass bombardier jet. Its only an hour flight. And if we didnt take of then, we'd be delayed a whole more 6 hours or more due to weather. So we take off and ascend for a good 2 minutes and bam that sucker started jolting like nothing ive ever felt before and the pilotwas telling us to remain calm as all the lights inside the cabin turned off. I think he ended up turning thr whole plane off and on. Ive been on a good 16different flights in my life. Ive never flown in a plane that quiet before. All you could hear was whisps of air and ppl breathing
Loved the story's and that's why I'm scared to go on an airplane.
Wow! That was quite an experience!
Seaweed het jn jet druves too just not orops

Correcting a piece of info in the video. He says that freak waves are whipped up by high winds. This is not how I believe they are widely explained. Firs of all just think about it, look how the wind strength is in the clip around 6:40, and look how ridiculously huge that wave is-doesn’t seem feasible.
The explanation I’ve heard that makes the most sense intuitively is how wavelengths combine. Imagine you drop three stones in a pond in a perfect equilateral triangle. Where the ripples overlap the wave lengths combine and become larger. In the center, three wavelengths will overlap and form a short lasting peek.
In the ocean there are many different currents and directions of individual waves, when three or four or five wavelengths overlap you may see a wave so large that it looks like magic.
Tide has the biggest effect on waves usually and edges shoals and canyons make them stand up
The tallest wave ever surfed was by James bond in die another day lol
Oh how we laugh at that terrible CGI 🤦🤦😂
Bruh XD
Bro today I found Mysterious video

Like cryptographic
Please explain
@@seeker7074 yeah that's weird
Laird Hamilton and 2 guys that he Tow surfs with were the “Stunt Surfers” in that movie. I remember seeing them in the credits. Can’t remember the 2 other guys, but they were considered the pioneers of Tow in surfing.
That's why they call it "nervous laughter".
I've been on 6 cruises and granted these ships are huge, but back in 1987, we went on a 1 day cruise gambling ship. It was about the size of a Love Boat type of ship, much smaller than modern day cruise ships, and we were caught in very high seas in the Gulf of Mexico. I wanna say the waves were around 30-40ft, and maybe even larger. Ship tossed and turned violently, and most everyone on board got sick. But I've never seen waves anything near that big since I've cruised on modern ships. I wonder if the technology just wasn't as good back then, cause I can't believe they would have left port knowing the seas were that violent. We sailed out of Corpus Christi that day.
Looking at these huge waves sends chills up my spine!😱🌊
Is it just me or is it when a tanker smashes through waves is oddly satisfying.
Definitely... Its like a massive FU to mother nature... Come at me bro, I take all comers. Human engineering is something to be feared
@Dick Johnson his paws don’t look red to me!!
I have an unreasonable fear of waves, I don't know why.
Probably because adults say constantly if you go into the ocean you’ll get swept away, if you are a good swimmer however and are strong you could swim your way back if stuck in the current. Don’t worry onlookers would call people to save you even if you couldn’t get free from the current!
I personally love to go on vacation to countries like Spain and visit the beach, also I love windy weather and smashing myself into some waves...but this here, nah that's damn scary
👋did i scare u ?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not so unreasonable, if they are big enough to KILL you, is it?
it is reasonable fear if waves are bigger than you
The fact that there was a wave that hit in a lithia bay at night and was 520ft is insane. Thats over 5 tines that size of biggest surfered.
I have never even come close to riding the waves that you revealed today, frightening mostly because the sea is an unforgiving and deadly place. Even the very best and most experienced captains have been lost at sea, to see the aircraft carrier having waves break upon the deck is incredible. Can you imagine being a pilot having to land on an aircraft carrier, of course not in such heavy seas but they do practice landing in some pretty rough weather

Chapter 31 - Luqman
28. Your creation and your resurrection are only as a single soul. The God is Hearing and Seeing.
29. Have you not seen how Th God merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night? That He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term? And that Allah is Cognizant of everything you do?
30. That is because The God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because The God is the Exalted, the Supreme.
31. Have you not seen how the ships sail through the sea, by the grace of The God, to show you of His wonders? In that are signs for every persevering, thankful person.
32.And as soon as they are overwhelmed by waves like mountains, they cry out to The God ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But when He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, only some become relatively grateful. And none rejects Our signs except whoever is deceitful, ungrateful.
33. O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of The God is true. Therefore, do not let this (temporary) life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding The God.
34. With The God rests the knowledge of the Last Hour (The Dooms Day). He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. The God is All-Knowing, Well-Informed.
Have a good night ..
I never knew that Portugal had such a deep ocean and I’m from there
És de Portugal e não sabes que a Nazaré tem as maiores ondas do mundo numa altura do ano?
@@Fernando44170 deve ser daqueles que nunca sai de casa.
Search “USS Carney Perfect Storm”. Was on that ship during that Mediterranean storm. Some great wave footage - submerging cargo ships and the 505 ft long destroyer.
Checking it out!
The US Navy having a carrier named the Kitty Hawk was honestly the most surprising thing in this video lol.

@14:41 the Captain was laughing, he's on. a rescue vessel. Going to and from the oil rigs making sure things are safe and secure. I've had the honor of talking to him on his RUclips channel. Brave and dedicated crew the whole lot of them.
Ive been working on container ships almost all my life and Ive seen waves like that almost every year specially in the pacific. It look scary on video, but it feel much different on the ship and its normal to hear people laughing :)
The 2011 Japan Tsunami taught people that sea walls dont always work, but some sea walls( that people scoffed at & thought unnecessary) saved a whole town. They also learned the incredible horrible power of water to travel great distances inland. Its always better to get as high up as possible (no matter where you are). In Hawaii we have a beach called Lumahai, we nicknamed it Luma- die beach because no matter how many warning signs there are posted, the visitors ignore them and stand at the shoreline awaiting the MASSIVE shorebreak waves! Each time Hawaii has a Tsunami warning( even with sirens), inevitably hundreds of excited tourists run out to beaches like Waikiki and eagerly anticipate the oncoming colossal wave ( cameras ready).🙄
@eringemini7091, It's hard to believe some people are so massively ignorant of the dangers of bad weather whether coming from the sky or the sea or an overflowing river! As a kid in the '70s learning emergency situations and awareness was a part of our sixth grade school curriculum. Obviously they've removed it these days!
It's so underwhelming too because the wave doesn't usually look that big. It's less a wave and more just the ocean seemingly expanding onto the land.
I finally talked myself into sleeping for the last couple hours before work so I try looking up waves to fall asleep to and here I am watching this 😁
Being a Submariner we were in the North and those seas are crazy....I remember the pilot was announcing Surface-Submerged repeatedly until the O.O.D. was annoyed....and of course fire control throwing up lol 😆
You'd think being underneath as opposed to on surface wouldn't register the same treacherous wave conditions.
@@TCFan30 waves are a surface condition. I'm not sure why they weren't submerged in the rough seas.
I was in the US navy for 8 years and majority of the time at sea as ship's crew unfortunately youtube did not exist then but the things I seen and experienced seeing the waves outside is one but walking on walls and going up or down stairwells without climbing or walking is amazing being hit by waves so hard that it bends the lifelines inward and causes damage to the hull yea good times
I was on the USS John F. Kennedy in 89-92. On the way back to Norfolk in 91, we hit the southern end of a big storm. It was so big they made a movie about it, called Tye Perfect Storm!
It may be scary viewing this, but as a sailor, it gives a different kind of adrenaline. Especially when steering inside a storm battling rolling forces. Its F U N.
So sailors are going insane.
Until something goes wrong😅
It takes a special kind of person to become a Sailor. I was crew on the USS Ranger CV-61 when we were returning from WestPac '87. We hit the storm waves from a hurricane that originated in the Gulf of Alaska. They were at least as big as those you showed the USS Kitty Hawk. It's not for the weak hearted. The crews of our escorts has it worse. I watched the frigate on the Port side imitate a dolphin e with only its stack above water at times.

I seek refuge with The God from expelled devil
22. It is He who transports you across land and sea. Until, when you are on ships, sailing in a favorable wind, and rejoicing in it, a raging wind arrives. The waves surge over them from every side, and they realize that they are besieged. Thereupon they pray to The God, professing sincere devotion to Him: “If You save us from this, we will be among the appreciative.”
23. But then, when He has saved them, they commit violations on earth, and oppose justice. O people! Your violations are against your own souls. It is the enjoyment of the present life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.
24. The likeness of the present life is this: water that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which the people and the animals eat. Until, when the earth puts on its fine appearance, and is beautified, and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it, Our command descends upon it by night or by day, and We turn it into stubble, as if it had not flourished the day before. We thus clarify the revelations for people who reflect.
25. The God invites to the Home of Peace, and guides whomever He wills to a straight path.
26. For those who have done good is goodness, and more. Neither gloom nor shame will come over their faces. These are the inhabitants of Paradise, abiding therein forever.
27. As for those who have earned evil deeds: a reward of similar evil, and shame will cover them. They will have no defense against The God-as if their faces are covered with dark patches of night. These are the inmates of the Fire, abiding therein forever.
Have a good night..
I was a paramedic on an oil platform out in the Gulf of Mexico and one of the fun things to do was go down the stairs to the very bottom level and stand on platform that sits just above the surface of the water and watch the waves crash against the legs of the rig itself.
Coming soon 10 million ❤️
