It'd be even more terrifying than their last minutes portrayed here. There would be no light whatsoever, unlike in the film (the electrical system would've shorted almost immediately in a boat like that). It'd be freezing instantly. It probably wouldn't be so dignified, with possibly screaming/hysterical injured sailors. No music in background. Conclusion: A cold, dark, merciless drowning death.
I used to watch this when I was single and younger and it made me uneasy...now I'm almost 30 and married and have a little 11 month old boy and it destroys me
@@Grimreepa220 Agreed!!!! This is the North Atlantic, If Titanic couldn't beat it in April, These guys were pretty brave to try it in October. Tragic story!
@@MrChickennugget360 Most likely he's asking what to do next. Whether to just breathe out and get it over with, or abandon the rest of the crew and try to escape. Either way, it's not an easy choice, hence the line "no school for it"
In reality, their luck wasn't bad at all. They were pretty consistently lucky with fishing and in real life, didn't know about the storm until they were halfway home. They also had no clue how bad it would be because the weather forecasts undersold the conditions. They didn't get a real idea of how bad things would be until the morning of the day they'd hit the storm (way too late to turn back). It started off pretty strong, but manageable at 50knot winds and 30ft seas, but over the course of the evening things got worse and worse until midnight when winds hit 80knots and the seas were 100ft. Those poor men would have been terrified and had every shred of hope crushed as the storm worsened overnight.
The wave chaos scene at 3:23 is for me one of the most horrifying . Contrasting it with the quiet below the surface in the ship. Not sure I'd prefer to be on the surface for my last moments- if I had a choice.
Either way is terrifying. I would’ve rather gone down with the crew for a quick death rather than tread in ice cold water for an hour dying to either hypothermia or exhaustion followed by drowning.
This was so sad! My son use to fish on boats in Alaska. Everytime he would head out I would pray for his safety. It's a very hard and dangerous job I really admire the men who do this!
1991 I woke up in my hospital bed after being in an induced coma for week. I was so close to death that I had an after life experience. As I said when I woke up the TV was on and it had the news of the Andrea Gail on it. It had a huge profound effect on me. How strange to be nearly killed yourself to this being the first thing you see. I can never forget it.
i saw this in the theater. everybody was absolutely SILENT after the wave hit....and he was in the water talking to his gf :( then when they did the funeral, many people were crying beautiful movie to pay tribute to these men!
Mine too! It's just him sitting there as death is drawing near knowing there's nothing left to do... Reflecting maybe on his life in the brief moments he has...? God knows what runs through your head in a situation like that.
With Bobby getting out of the ship, I always want to believe that maybe he is out there somewhere, washed up on a desert island or something. But I know its a fool's dream.
Would it be worse though? If he did survive & washed up on a desert island. Bobby would be all alone & never see his family or friends again. His loved ones would all think that he’s dead.
Even if he did survive the sinking of his boat, there was no way he would've survived the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic, weather it was the waves or the freezing temperature.
May they R.I.P🙏🙏 some say andrea gail may have been washed off the flemish cap sea floor after she went under due to the current she could most likely dropped off the shelf and been pushed into the same depths as titanic
@@anthonylopresti3078 yeah I’d be more worried about my family than myself. The part where he’s like “this is gonna be so hard on my little boy” is so relatable and heart crushing.
the worst part about being stuck in that boat is you would be sinking down and down fast until its all black and youre getting crushed by the pressure like drowning is your least concern
This sequence is made all the more tragic by the fact that the real Andrea Gail and the men on board were never found. Only bits and pieces of the ship have been found to this day. It just boggles my mind how they could never find the rest of it.
She's most likely laying in The Gully off Sable Island. If you track her final reported position and keep a consistent heading, she'd be right overtop of the Gully at the time the storm was at its worst.
mgmg right but it is also possible the Andrea Gail could have been floating upside down for quite some time before officially sinking(this is according to the captain of the other boat featured In the movie)
@@johnhancock6769 That is also true. The storm winds and waves were travelling west/southwest but the storm itself was moving east. Add to that the currents and the uknown distance the boat would have travelled before being rolled, after their last radio contact. One thing we know for sure is that they didn't last a full 24 hours after their last radio contact, so wherever the wreck is it's not too far from Sable. Their final reported position puts them headed for Louisberg, Cape Breton, which would have been a 24-hour steam away. The winds and waves were behind them and so the boat would still have been pushed this way even if Billy had made the decision to bring her about into the weather.
Scientists say waves this big can't happen. They said Titanic would not have broken in half...then we find the wreck and it did...proof that scientists can be arrogant as hell. The sailors report these, but Mr. PhD says no, does not happen. Might as well believe in sea monster. I tell you science should, with respect of ones own lack of knowledge on the matter, be allowed to be questioned. If you haven't proven it, don't tell people you're right.
@@leewayne6330 if scientists don't allow science to be questioned they are not scientists. everything that is now science was once considered impossible.
I remember watching this movie years ago and feeling helpless. What was even sadder is that they really thought they were gonna get out alive and only one person survived.
My family is from Gloucester where this took place and we have two men that are fishing boat captains in Alaska and in the Bering Sea. Waves like this can even flip oil derrecks and tankers.
"You know what? Your a god damn Swordboat Captain". movie is truly awesome. it's too bad this actually happened. R.I.P fisherman, even the dudes who died outside of this movie. Such a dangerous job.
It was once said that sailors, are the warriors of the sea. And that storms are when they do battle, not against man, but against the sea her self. For men do not take the privilege lightly, when strong veteran backs, are your defensive walls.
Wow, my dad is a warrior of the sea, fishing for 30 years. Buried in the Atlantic by his beloved crew. Fishermen pass, they go to our sea to protect other fishermen against their ocean battle.
As much as they should've lived it, to see this ending with the Andrea Gail sinking and for Billy to go down with his boat was a smart move because EVERY hero fisherman sacrifices for the greater good, so it was best for the skipper to go down with his boat but hey at least he as well as the crew of Andrea Gail will forever be remembered as heroes and terrific fisherman! Amen
@13%Commit50%OfAll MURDERSinUSA Well not just in movies most captains irl and this based on true story but captains are suppose to stay on there boat/ship till every crew member and anyone else on the ship to get off first before captain goes.

life... we always try the best for our families... no matter the risk involved.... people with money will never understand... Andrea Gail had to try... all Rest in Peace...
It may not be so far fetched as it seems the Sable Island weather buoy recorded wave heights of 30.5m. This was the maximum height that it could record so what the crew of the Andrea Gail really faced sadly went with the boat and her crew.
This is based off the book by Sebastian Junger, most of the scenes were a "what if", since only a buoy from the andrea gail was rescued, the surviving families of the fishermen sued the owner of the Andrea Gail, because of alterations made to the ship, however they lost, as it was proven that the alterations actually made the boat a lot safer for them. The guy that stayed back before they sailed the last time, also drowned, so no surviving crew memebers.
Daniel lovelock yeah I know from experience getting stuck underwater sucks really bad. This ending is an utter nightmare for everyone but unfortunately it's what happened to these guys
The Mad Hammer. sorry to hear about ur experience mate, it would be terrible to go through. yeah they were very brave men and did not deserve that kind off death, its a shame to cause it would have been inspiring story for the history books if they survived the night. 😭😯
I saw something on Discovery Channel where they were speaking of Rogue Waves. This movie was used as an example. Speculation was that there are indeed waves which can reach 100 ft in height. This was done through seisemic (sic) testing and readings. Was pretty interesting especially if you are a fan of this move, which I am.
The scene of Wahlberge floating by himself in the water always got to me. At that point you know there's no hope of getting out of this, so do you keep on fighting, or do you just give up and let yourself drown? Granted, that may not be how he died at all, but it's still something worth asking.
The book discusses the process of drowning in great detail, because it's highly unlikely any of the crew made it out of the vessel. You can't really consciously drown yourself. Your survival instinct will prevent you from just going underwater and inhaling to "end it." Even if you tried, your airway would close off due to an automatic reflex called the laryngeal sphincter. Eventually, if you stayed underwater long enough (either through physical exhaustion or you were trapped under water) your brain would experience hypoxia and eventually force your body to inhale through reflex to avoid losing consciousness. This is the painful part of downing. That first inhalation of water burns, and you are still conscious and feeling everything. Then your lungs would fill with water and you'd start to breathe water in and out for a short time. This is the so-called "peaceful" stage of drowning. Unfortunately, since your body cannot extract oxygen from water, this doesn't last more than a few seconds. Eventually, you lose consciousness. But you still aren't dead. You have technically "drowned", but your brain is still alive. It takes about 3-4 minutes without oxygen for your brain to actually start dying. This is why drowning victims can be resuscitated if they have their airway cleared, and are given CPR within 3-4 minutes of drowning. But the longer they remain unconscious due to hypoxia, the greater chance for permanent brain damage. Most people's brains will die within 5-6 minutes without oxygen, but in some rare cases, drowning victims (usually very young kids, in very cold water) have been revived after 20 or even 30 minutes without serious damage. The cold water puts their brains into a kind of "suspended animation" where no brain damage occurs. But this is very rare. Most people who aren't revived and given CPR within 3-4 minutes never wake up.
@@EricaEchosThere's a possibility that at least one crew member made it out of the boat alive, but it all depends on whether or not they were in the wheelhouse when the boat went down. An un-inflated life raft was recovered among other debris from the boat, and while seemingly insignificant at first, it can actually tell us a great deal about the boat. Firstly, these rafts are designed to inflate at depth because their capsule breaks from the water pressure, which uncaps internal CO2 cannisters, thus inflating the raft and sending it to the surface for any who make it out of the boat. The fact the raft wasn't inflated, and still in its container, indicates it did not float free when the boat sank but rather it was knocked off the boat instead, most likely by an enormous wave. Something along the lines of a breaking 50-footer would have the force necessary to knock it off, and we know waves of that size were plentiful after 8pm, looking at NOAA weather buoy readings (specifically buoy 44139, some 50nm from the AG's last reported position). So this tells us that; 1 - the boat was *most likely* still afloat around 8pm 2 - approximately this time, the vessel was struck head-on by a breaking wave between 40 and 50 feet high 3 - the forces exerted are well over what the Lexan wheelhouse windows can handle - they would be blown right out of their frames. While it's not necessary that EVERY wheelhouse window was knocked out, it's reasonable to assume more than one was This leaves an open exit for any crew member lucky enough to find themselves in the wheelhouse when the boat starts going down, assuming she still had power to provide light, it's possible, even reasonable, that at least one crew member made it out
Working on a ship like this right now i am home now tho but we are pushing the limits out in norways seas i am swedish. we all know evertime we go out it might be the last time. we are vikings tho and the pay is good so :) pray too god this never happens too my crew
Exactly... taking a wave from behind is many times worse than taking it head on. This monster would have swallowed the boat when it broke. You can't really outrun a wave, and in this case, their best chance was to try to take it head on, which, just wouldn't work.
Base on the logic of the film and the fact it was a significantly mall boat, i think it would have had a chance taking it from the side and rolling with it. Like they did earlier and like the sailboat. A bigass ship need to break the wave but a smaller ship can play the rolling card i think. And you can see him trying to turn the andrea gail side ways to roll the wave
They were already in eye in the storm. As Greenlaw said in her mayday earlier they were heading for middle of the monster. As Coast Guard they were heading straight into hell.
I had a father who went through it for 30 years, it’s rough being out smack in the ocean. It’s hard communicating when they call you from out there too.
@@SilentDanDisney In real life, the storm actually did form over them. The movie shows them getting a weather forecast when they're still out on the fishing grounds, and then choosing to drive home through the storm. In real life, they were already halfway home and the first weather forecast greatly underestimated the storm. The real conditions of the storm ended up being nearly 4 times worse than the forecast predicted.
Damn that huge wave gives me the chills... Same feeling I get when the tidal wave in the Poseidon Adventure is spotted through the telescope for the first time. Always makes me take a deep breath lol... Rest in peace to those lost.
it is a fact that waves can get that big. science has measured wind velocity and estimated that the maximum wave height that can be produced during a storm is 192 feet high. Wave height during that storm were measured by bouys in the ocean and those bouys were reporting waves over a hundred feet. those bouys werent where the Andrea Gail last reported her position, but the storm did produce waves in excess of 100 feet. that part of the movie is accurate
Horrible way to die thats what happens when you put too much pressure on people Tyne was under pressure from the start to bring home a good score he and his crew paid for that with there lives
In real life, the Andrea Gail's last catch was pretty good, Tyne was a consistently good captain. Their final trip was supposed to be a normal trip like any other, and it would have been the last one of the fishing season.
Fishing was their job, it was basically all they knew how to do. They're not gonna go out and learn an entirely new skill just because they need money. They're gonna do what they are good at. If you spent all your life doing something then all of a sudden you need money, you're not gonna switch careers just like that. It's the north east. A place that has a heavy fishing culture and heritage. And for the record, a small boat like that cannot over-fish, in one trip.
If they did not tell you it was based on a true story, a part of me would like to think that no reality and no ones' luck could be this bad or sad, but it is true and it is quite realistic. That ending shot of Wahlberg's character out there in the ocean by himself trying to stay a float in the storm, with no help, anywhere, is very sad. It represents tremendous human optimism going against insurmountable bad luck. It comes to mind whenever I think I have had bad luck.
The waves were bigger than that. By midnight on the 29th, wave heights were topping 70 feet with the bigger outliers (like the rogue wave in this scene) hitting just over 100ft.
They didn't choose the battle. I always hated that about the movie, but the book makes it more clear. In real life, the crew of the Andrea Gail didn't know about the storm until they were halfway home, and the first weatherfax they received (along with every other boat from the New England fleet) vastly underestimated the conditions the storm would actually reach. By the time they received the final weatherfax (which called for worse weather than the first one) at dawn on the day they'd hit the storm, it was too late to head back to the fishing grounds because the storm was moving faster than the boat and they didn't have the fuel to make it that far. They had to keep heading for home. The actual conditions they would have experienced were also much worse than the NOAA predicted, with the final forecast calling for 50knot winds and 25-35ft seas, even though the actual conditions in that area spiked at 80knot winds and 100ft waves. These poor fishermen were taken by surprise and they would have been terrified every second during the ordeal
@@mgmg116 exactly the movie makes too much about them dying over fish. They would have had no qualms about dumping their load if keeping it meant hazarding their ship. Anything otherwise is negligent. the movie would have been just as good if they had the storm drop on them without warning.
@@MrChickennugget360 Agreed 100%. I think the movie would've been more sad and possibly resonated more with audiences because the real story is so tragic.
@@brycewakefield6565 Sure, if working your ass off for 20hrs a day on the soaking wet, slippery deck of a rocking fishing boat with 300-400 pound swordfish, sharks, and bad weather that could kill you sounds like easy money
This music is this scene has to be on another movie. The horn part of it at 1:10 mark sounds so familiar and I can't think of it. Anyone happen to know?
James Horner composed the soundtracks both for this and for Titanic, and they both similar in arrangement and composition, so that's possibly why it sounds familiar
![[DOKKAN BATTLE] Worldwide Campaign Announcement Video Part 2!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JpT5Voak6WA/mqdefault.jpg)
It'd be even more terrifying than their last minutes portrayed here. There would be no light whatsoever, unlike in the film (the electrical system would've shorted almost immediately in a boat like that). It'd be freezing instantly. It probably wouldn't be so dignified, with possibly screaming/hysterical injured sailors. No music in background.
Conclusion: A cold, dark, merciless drowning death.

Daniel lovelock yeah I know from experience getting stuck underwater sucks really bad. This ending is an utter nightmare for everyone but unfortunately it's what happened to these guys
The Mad Hammer. sorry to hear about ur experience mate, it would be terrible to go through. yeah they were very brave men and did not deserve that kind off death, its a shame to cause it would have been inspiring story for the history books if they survived the night. 😭😯
Daniel lovelock oh hell yeah it would have been an incredible story, unfortunately it ended in an all to common way for fishermen.
I think that's probably the most heartbreaking line in any film.
George was awesome in the final act. He decided to go down with the ship.
"this is gonna be hard for my little boy" :´(
"On" my little boy
Dear God, little Dale Jr must have been grief-stricken after he found out what happened to his pa😢.
The guy in the yellow is my cousins cousin on the other side of his family, bobby shatford Gloucester Massachusetts
jackosumm oh sorry about that man 🙏❤️
I'm so sorry he had to lose his cousin condolences and love
I saw something on Discovery Channel where they were speaking of Rogue Waves. This movie was used as an example. Speculation was that there are indeed waves which can reach 100 ft in height. This was done through seisemic (sic) testing and readings.
Was pretty interesting especially if you are a fan of this move, which I am.
The scene of Wahlberge floating by himself in the water always got to me. At that point you know there's no hope of getting out of this, so do you keep on fighting, or do you just give up and let yourself drown?
Granted, that may not be how he died at all, but it's still something worth asking.
Ultimately it wouldn’t take long for you to fatigue and drown
The book discusses the process of drowning in great detail, because it's highly unlikely any of the crew made it out of the vessel.
You can't really consciously drown yourself. Your survival instinct will prevent you from just going underwater and inhaling to "end it." Even if you tried, your airway would close off due to an automatic reflex called the laryngeal sphincter. Eventually, if you stayed underwater long enough (either through physical exhaustion or you were trapped under water) your brain would experience hypoxia and eventually force your body to inhale through reflex to avoid losing consciousness. This is the painful part of downing. That first inhalation of water burns, and you are still conscious and feeling everything. Then your lungs would fill with water and you'd start to breathe water in and out for a short time. This is the so-called "peaceful" stage of drowning. Unfortunately, since your body cannot extract oxygen from water, this doesn't last more than a few seconds. Eventually, you lose consciousness.
But you still aren't dead.
You have technically "drowned", but your brain is still alive. It takes about 3-4 minutes without oxygen for your brain to actually start dying. This is why drowning victims can be resuscitated if they have their airway cleared, and are given CPR within 3-4 minutes of drowning. But the longer they remain unconscious due to hypoxia, the greater chance for permanent brain damage. Most people's brains will die within 5-6 minutes without oxygen, but in some rare cases, drowning victims (usually very young kids, in very cold water) have been revived after 20 or even 30 minutes without serious damage. The cold water puts their brains into a kind of "suspended animation" where no brain damage occurs. But this is very rare. Most people who aren't revived and given CPR within 3-4 minutes never wake up.
@@EricaEchosterrifying
@@EricaEchosThere's a possibility that at least one crew member made it out of the boat alive, but it all depends on whether or not they were in the wheelhouse when the boat went down.
An un-inflated life raft was recovered among other debris from the boat, and while seemingly insignificant at first, it can actually tell us a great deal about the boat.
Firstly, these rafts are designed to inflate at depth because their capsule breaks from the water pressure, which uncaps internal CO2 cannisters, thus inflating the raft and sending it to the surface for any who make it out of the boat.
The fact the raft wasn't inflated, and still in its container, indicates it did not float free when the boat sank but rather it was knocked off the boat instead, most likely by an enormous wave.
Something along the lines of a breaking 50-footer would have the force necessary to knock it off, and we know waves of that size were plentiful after 8pm, looking at NOAA weather buoy readings (specifically buoy 44139, some 50nm from the AG's last reported position).
So this tells us that;
1 - the boat was *most likely* still afloat around 8pm
2 - approximately this time, the vessel was struck head-on by a breaking wave between 40 and 50 feet high
3 - the forces exerted are well over what the Lexan wheelhouse windows can handle - they would be blown right out of their frames. While it's not necessary that EVERY wheelhouse window was knocked out, it's reasonable to assume more than one was
This leaves an open exit for any crew member lucky enough to find themselves in the wheelhouse when the boat starts going down, assuming she still had power to provide light, it's possible, even reasonable, that at least one crew member made it out
Working on a ship like this right now i am home now tho but we are pushing the limits out in norways seas i am swedish. we all know evertime we go out it might be the last time. we are vikings tho and the pay is good so :) pray too god this never happens too my crew
As a father of 3 sons. “This is gonna be hard for my little boy” got me in my feelings💔💔💔
James Horner was a genius! RIP Andrea Gail crew and James Horner
Exactly... taking a wave from behind is many times worse than taking it head on. This monster would have swallowed the boat when it broke. You can't really outrun a wave, and in this case, their best chance was to try to take it head on, which, just wouldn't work.
Base on the logic of the film and the fact it was a significantly mall boat, i think it would have had a chance taking it from the side and rolling with it. Like they did earlier and like the sailboat. A bigass ship need to break the wave but a smaller ship can play the rolling card i think. And you can see him trying to turn the andrea gail side ways to roll the wave
They were BRAVE men. God bless them and their families.
Captain dying with his ship made me cry.
Don't know about that. Those waves were pretty huge in that storm.Even for the titanic.
That's a big wave. Awesome film.
It's based on a true story to
I have the DVD and when I was little when I saw the ending I always cryed so hard.
He followed the old saying "a good captain always goes down with his ship"
Nowhere to go, death all around now or alone in the sea.
The fact that that storm just formed over them without any warning without any chance of escaping and certain death.
They were already in eye in the storm.
As Greenlaw said in her mayday earlier they were heading for middle of the monster.
As Coast Guard they were heading straight into hell.
I had a father who went through it for 30 years, it’s rough being out smack in the ocean. It’s hard communicating when they call you from out there too.
@@SilentDanDisney In real life, the storm actually did form over them.
The movie shows them getting a weather forecast when they're still out on the fishing grounds, and then choosing to drive home through the storm.
In real life, they were already halfway home and the first weather forecast greatly underestimated the storm. The real conditions of the storm ended up being nearly 4 times worse than the forecast predicted.
I get butterflies just thinking "Wow, this is it, im going to die."
Everytime I see this, I think of the guys entombed in the Edmund Fitzgerald. What a horrible end trapped below
Damn that huge wave gives me the chills... Same feeling I get when the tidal wave in the Poseidon Adventure is spotted through the telescope for the first time. Always makes me take a deep breath lol... Rest in peace to those lost.
it is a fact that waves can get that big. science has measured wind velocity and estimated that the maximum wave height that can be produced during a storm is 192 feet high. Wave height during that storm were measured by bouys in the ocean and those bouys were reporting waves over a hundred feet. those bouys werent where the Andrea Gail last reported her position, but the storm did produce waves in excess of 100 feet. that part of the movie is accurate
Horrible way to die thats what happens when you put too much pressure on people Tyne was under pressure from the start to bring home a good score he and his crew paid for that with there lives
In real life, the Andrea Gail's last catch was pretty good, Tyne was a consistently good captain.
Their final trip was supposed to be a normal trip like any other, and it would have been the last one of the fishing season.
If Bob Brown had properly fixed the ice maker, they could have just waited the Storm out. I don't mean to speak ill of Robert Brown, but......
"Yours forever", its on you tube
Saddest movie ending ever. Especially after what these men have been through. But there was no real chance to win this battle. :(
Music always sets the tone in iconic scenes and this is the perfect example.
Fishing was their job, it was basically all they knew how to do. They're not gonna go out and learn an entirely new skill just because they need money. They're gonna do what they are good at. If you spent all your life doing something then all of a sudden you need money, you're not gonna switch careers just like that. It's the north east. A place that has a heavy fishing culture and heritage. And for the record, a small boat like that cannot over-fish, in one trip.
If they did not tell you it was based on a true story, a part of me would like to think that no reality and no ones' luck could be this bad or sad,
but it is true
and it is quite realistic.
That ending shot of Wahlberg's character out there in the ocean by himself trying to stay a float in the storm, with no help, anywhere, is very sad.
It represents tremendous human optimism going against insurmountable bad luck.
It comes to mind whenever I think I have had bad luck.
First thought: RIP to these men. Second thought: James Horner did some serious copy and paste when he made the Avatar sountrack.
does anyone else fell nauseated watching them ride that wave or should i see my doctor?
You have the coward of a man that was the captain of the Costa Concordia, then you have this captain.
I just finished watching this move :'( I've seen it before, but it gets me every time. God keep those men safe in your arms.
Hurricane Bob was a cupcake to us on land.....but to those @ sea...holy shit...different story all-together
A captain always goes down with his ship
I don’t know if I would rather sink and drown in the boat, or swim up to the surface to be bashed by 50 foot tall waves. Both are equally scary.
you'd swim up anyday, survival instinct will kick in and you would do anything for a molecule of air.
I'd take the wave any day have some fun instead of sinking to the bottom
I'd swim. Dying gasping for breath is about up there with getting burned alive. I'll take being bashed by a waves.
The waves were bigger than that. By midnight on the 29th, wave heights were topping 70 feet with the bigger outliers (like the rogue wave in this scene) hitting just over 100ft.
'It was a hell of a fight though' yeah but you gotta know when to choose your battles. Not every battle can be won.
They didn't choose the battle. I always hated that about the movie, but the book makes it more clear.
In real life, the crew of the Andrea Gail didn't know about the storm until they were halfway home, and the first weatherfax they received (along with every other boat from the New England fleet) vastly underestimated the conditions the storm would actually reach.
By the time they received the final weatherfax (which called for worse weather than the first one) at dawn on the day they'd hit the storm, it was too late to head back to the fishing grounds because the storm was moving faster than the boat and they didn't have the fuel to make it that far. They had to keep heading for home.
The actual conditions they would have experienced were also much worse than the NOAA predicted, with the final forecast calling for 50knot winds and 25-35ft seas, even though the actual conditions in that area spiked at 80knot winds and 100ft waves.
These poor fishermen were taken by surprise and they would have been terrified every second during the ordeal
@@mgmg116 exactly the movie makes too much about them dying over fish. They would have had no qualms about dumping their load if keeping it meant hazarding their ship. Anything otherwise is negligent. the movie would have been just as good if they had the storm drop on them without warning.
@@MrChickennugget360 Agreed 100%. I think the movie would've been more sad and possibly resonated more with audiences because the real story is so tragic.
@@mgmg116true but with all movies you gotta have people to root for and people you dislike.Plus hollywood likes to exaggerate the truth a bit.
Captain always goes down with his ship
Unless you're a certain captain of a cruise ship that bailed from his ship after he "fell" into a lifeboat several years back.
“ We had to try “
This movie is so heart wrenching. This is my dads favorite movie and I love it Too.
Lets get outta here huh.
As crazy huge as that rogue is they actually can get bigger.It just takes the right elements lining up to produce one.
Prob my fav movie ever...my dad is a fisherman ...this is the constant nightmare you have everytime they leave home ...
2:15 That's true man-friendship ! :)
Perfect Scene - Perfect Movie
The saddest part is that something very similar to this really happen to the true Andrea Gail on 1991...
Alejandro Fallas no shit Sherlock. This is a movie based on the event.
Cheers Geoff
My theory after many videos I’ve watched of footage from storm.
They were probably broadsided by a wave and didn’t see it coming.
When I saw this in the theaters couldn't and haven't even to this day understand why you would want a job like this.
easy money
@@brycewakefield6565 Sure, if working your ass off for 20hrs a day on the soaking wet, slippery deck of a rocking fishing boat with 300-400 pound swordfish, sharks, and bad weather that could kill you sounds like easy money
no words straighter or more true than those
Makes you really miss James Horner's soundtracks too. RIP
Looking up at a hundred foot wave like that, I would promptly crap myself.
i remember this in the movies, put me back in my seat thats for sure
the last recorded words from the captain Billy were,"She's comin on boys, and she's comin on strong!"
Outstanding acting.
Russia Nazi
This music is this scene has to be on another movie. The horn part of it at 1:10 mark sounds so familiar and I can't think of it. Anyone happen to know?
James Horner composed the soundtracks both for this and for Titanic, and they both similar in arrangement and composition, so that's possibly why it sounds familiar
would be freaky as hell to be floating on top of the waves of that storm!
This movie is sad But It was also a great movie.
