To end the modern world? There isn’t enough lithium in planet earth to make the batteries needed continue life as we know it. Carbon dioxide is only 0.04% of the atmosphere, the idea that it is changing the climate is ridiculous on its face. If it drops to 0.02% plants can no longer grow, then what? I can think of a million things worse than the temp of the planet rising 1-3 degrees. You know, things like nuclear war come to mind, and it seems we’re headed in that direction.

    I am an Australian who loved the sea in my younger days. The in my thirties I lived in London and only occasioally saw the ocean. I came back to Perth, West Aust, and my brother took me sailing in a 14 foot catamaran along the coast inside the reefs. In the course of this short sailing we had to avoid a couple of big sealions, several sharks of varying sizes and species, stingrays by the dozen, and various other, to my mind, malcious sea creatures.
    I was scared out of my wits by what he considered a normal uninteresting sailing trip.
    I was quite happy to return to London.And now years later I am quite happy to see these videos when I am 100km from the ocean and 60 km from the nearest permanent river and 250metres above sea level. I don't even eat seafood any more.
    (For those interested it started at Whitford's Bay Yachting Club and ended in sheer terror for me. After that the slums of London held little fear for me.)

      @robertmunafo5039 Panicking, mostly¡ I was a goocd swimmer, but I had not lived near the ocean since 1970 when I moved to Canberra. I had also suffered in two major car accidents and had endured, or was enduring, two fractures of the skull,, a compressed neck and spine, damage to the right shoulder, rib cage, hip, knee and ankle. I have scars in my brain, and c-t scans show that the impacts have left stress marks in the cranial bones, The brain has compression marks in it, and the shock fractures are evident. The shock absobing layer that protects the brain has been crushed in a couple of places. (Sports medical people are now finding such compressiojns in rugby players and others who play hard contact sports.) Life was painful all the time. Still is, decades later.

      @Royalty12345 I was born in Sydney and now live in Coonalpyn in South Australia. There are about 300 people in the census area. No service stations, no grocers, no petrol stations. Just trees, grasses, sheep, cattle, eagles, bIack tailed cockatoos, Rosella type parrots, crows, noisy. Mynahs, butterflies, bees, the odd snake and lizard. But no traffic problems, no shoulder to shoulder housing..
      Melanomas and basal cell carcinomas and eye damage have convinced me that I need to be more careful of myself. At my mid-70s, I realised that my children and grandchildren are still greatly influenced by my actions, and that includes protection from inimical forces. (Not including the ATO.)

    I spent many months on several of those rigs, the Transocean Winner, Leader etc. as a rig mover. A winter in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea is fun. You can literally spend weeks waiting for the weather to calm sufficiently before you can put the rig on its new spot. It's more exciting on the anchor handlers, though. To sleep in your bunk, you have to sleep like a 'starfish' to stop yourself rolling out of bed. Not that anyone gets much sleep when it blows up... a few weeks of unbroken weather and everyone gets very snappy.

    I’ve always understood “rogue waves” to be not just big, but completely unexpected; waves that sneak up on you. The waves in this video are really spectacular! But, since they are coming one after another (which, as I understand it, is fairly common in The North Sea), they don’t fit the description that I’ve heard of true rogue waves. That last video of the sinking oil rig was spectacular! Just as well it fell apart then, rather than later when it would likely have been way out at sea. Amazing no one was lost!

    This goes to show you're never too old to learn. I thought all oil rigs were stationary. Didn't know some of them float. I don't know why I wouldn't realize that. I do realize that the ocean can be a volatile and scary place. I could never work on a rig.

    A friend of mine was in the Alexander Kielland platform accident in Norway 1980, he had just started his shift and had walked over to Edda-C from Alexander Kielland when he was alerted by a co worker that Alexander Kielland was tipping over... it took about 20minutes and then Alexander Kielland fully tipped over, floating with it's legs upwards. Cause of the accident was that 1 of 5 legs broke off in the stormy weather due to a failing support strut that first broke off, before finally the leg broke.123 people died that day.

      I was in the radio room on a nearby rig on the night of that disaster. There I heard the radio operator calling mayday just before the rig capsized. That night was a pretty rough night and it was very lucky that anybody survived. Forty years later I was watching a youtube video of the disaster, and I was surprised too see in the video the very same radio operator, I heard calling out the mayday 40 years previously.

    The first clip was a supply boat or safety vessel, not a rig or platform. The guys that man those vessels are the toughest seamen in the world. The last clip was of a production jacket, not a rig. The jacket is installed over a template on the seabed, then a Jack-up rig is positioned over the jacket to drill production wells. The South Pars field is actually an extension of Qatar’s North Dome field, the biggest gas deposit in the world. I was on a Jack-up rig off Denmark once; the bottom of the drilling barge was about 70 feet above the water but one storm sent waves banging up against the bottom of the structure.

    In the first vid these are no rogue waves. The definition of a rogue wave is, that it has to be twice as tall as the average height of waves that passed in the last minutes or hours. As these waves are all quite big, this criteria is not fullfilled. But I don´t know what would happen, if a real rogue wave would come along. Must be a hundred feet tall and easily smash this rig.

    These are not big waves, let alone rogue waves. Here off the south coast of Australia we have the Southern Ocean with 30-50 foot swells that are normal every day. In 1998 The Sydney to Hobart yacht race encountered what we call a East Coast Low. We get these regularly. During the race, the swells were 90 ft crest to trough but the distance between crests was more than half a kilometre. Thats manageable. But what can happen is a cross swell can come across at 90 degrees and fill the trough with 100 feet of white water. That's a rogue wave. One such wave wrecked a number of yachts and many lives were lost.
