1. Well, that's weird. during hurricane Igor off the Grand Banks, the supply ship Burin Sea was there overwatch at the oil rig with 20 meter plus sustained seas off the Grand Banks. The night the Ocean Ranger went down there was a 100 foot rogue wave measured. Same at that time. Where the Andrea Gail went down, 100 foot waves, the trough of the waves they said were actually touching the bottom of the ocean.

2. Stopped watching at the climate change propaganda part 👍

3. I grew up sailing.The first time I saw a cruise ship (small by today's standards), I knew it wasn't sea worthy. I learned that giant gyroscopes keep cruise ships 'on an even keel' during heavy weather. That did not reassure me. What if the electrical systems were damaged? No cruise ship adventures for me! I love to go out on the sea in truly sea worthy ships. When I was 26, I crossed from Southampton, England to NYC on one of the smaller Cunard line ships. We passed through a violent 3-day "storm" (probably a nor'easter, in New England speak). The waves towered over the ship when it bottomed out in the wave troughs. I went to the stern and felt completely safe looking up through those huge emerald waves. At times I was weightless (admittedly, that wasn't a very smart place to be). I had the dining hall to myself for three days. 😆

4. Good documentary

5. Extremely tall Tsunamis and large deep sink holes is my #1& #2 most feared natural disaster phenomenons. Even over volcanoes, twisters, avalanches, forest fires and hurricanes. Because those two are almost un-survivalable IMO. But what the hell do I know!

6. I used to have recurring dreams when I was about eight. I was on a beach and looked out to seat to see a wave as high as the clouds coming slowly. Kind of like Miller’s planet

7. What about Nazaré, Portugal 26m !!!

8. The reality is that the sea can, and does, produce conditions that are not survivable.The game is avoiding such conditions if possible.

9. Well done! A terrifying topic for those who spend time at sea.

10. You see the cross rogue waves at the beach all the time!
    When 2 waves come in at different angles, every now and then, there'll be a combining of the waves to such an extent that one very tall and steep wave is created! Sometimes they don't even break, they just rise up then sink back down again! Easily at least twice the height of the surrounding waves but very short and super steep!

11. That carrier with the hole in it is nightmare fuel😮

12. Thanks goodness it’s not AI generated

13. The crew of the Caledonia was stellar in getting that ship through that monster. Excellent documentary. Now if I could just get my husband to watch it. Then he might understand my total refusal to cruise on a monster cruise ship!

14. This channel continuously has quality programming on it. The documentaries and various shows on here are professionally done and informative. We need more quality channels like this on Youtube.

15. ‼️‼️PLEASE, enable áudio with another lenguages on video‼️‼️

16. Thank you! I enjoyed this. I live on the coast and we now get these super gigantic swells. Huge waves breaking way out to sea. I've been here my entire life and never saw this before. The waves took out part of 2 wharfs, one had people on it. They survived without injuries. And a pier connecting the beach to an old ship along with a campground was destroyed. Deadly looking.

17. thats not cruise ship lol

18. “Rogue’ waves are no fun. Worst storm undertaken in 205’ USCG ship unexpectedly hit by two waves approx 40’. Heeled the boat over nearly 40 degree’s. This was a storm full of 20-25 footers. This will make you sphincter pucker. North Atlantic in winter is that bad. In a career that spanned five ships and 12 years at sea, never saw things that bad again.

19. 26 meters= 85.3 feet. 30 meters= 98.5 feet. 10 story building= 100 to 140 feet. Unable to withstand 15 meters. Companies are too cheap to fix the ships to withstand 150 meters.

20. My grandad was doing the arctic convoys during the war and he said green waves are the scariest.He was on the bridge of one of the escort vessel and he was looking at a wave that was as high as the bridge was and he said to me he thought he wasn't coming home. It's not just a giant wall of water its a vast trough on the back side of the wave that the bow of the boat is nose diving into and may not be coming back up

21. My name is Joe I was work on a offshore supply vessel in the oil fields off the coast of Texas usa in the gulf of Mexico and while standing watch was hit with a monster wave .the vessel suffered a lot of damage knocked out the wheel house windows flooded in inside this happened in 1978.i really enjoyed watching your video on monster waves thank you

22. They should make ships capable to go through these waves, not have to take them straight on. Or be part sub and go below in heavy storms.

23. I am not a fan of wave machines, all those lovely waves all going in the same direction. The real world is a little more complicated. Land reflected waves .Ground sea running in shallower seas ,with the wind sea on top of that and many many more.

24. Captain dooms his ship to terror and then paint him self as hero… Any ship lost because of weather is captains bad call in my eyes…

25. Global Colding 👍

26. Ha! My children are on the Icon of the seas right now! Wow!

27. He looks and sounds half Italian! Why can't we predict these monster waves if they really take that long to form?
