Rogue Wave XVID

[15jumpmaster]

Something you do NOT want to hear on a boat- "Where's all that water coming from?"

[AussieNathan91]

did they suvive?

[MrOceanfisher]

@AussieNathan91 yes, the boat righted itself shortly after the wave.

Rogue Waves are EXTREMELY dangerous and come out of nowhere usually on the ships side. unlike normal waves they are a huge wall of water 40-100feet high.This 60 foot wave could knock a cruise ship 800-900feet long on its side. The worst waves ever were on November 25,1990 a.k.a Savage Sunday. the Time Bandit on Deadliest Catch survived that day when rogue waves exceeded 80 feet in record

Hell yeah, reminds me of Bay of Biscay last autumn :D That was fun guys... :D

if i were him id yell out free from the crew then die.

lol

I would have peed in my pants right then and there...Lol

I thought I heard once somewhere that the higher the waves are have something to do with the gravitational pull of the moon to the Earth and the closer it gets to the Earth's atmosphere, the higher the waves get. So there must've been some type of strange lunar activity.

[reuben23]

you dont go to the beach often do you? Or out in boats? The height of the tide has to do with the gravitational pull of the moon but the waves can be due to anything, wind, currents, volcanic activity etc...

Rogue Waves are absolutely a nightmare. They many times come out of nowhere. Unlike regular waves, the wave is nearly a perfectly vertical, towering wall of water that can exceed 100 feet in height. The trough before it is so deep, that a ship that plunges headlong into it has a good chance of not re-surfacing!

[celderian]

This is why I'm never gonna go on a cruise....

[donbribon]

eso es un golpe de mar y lo demás son tonterías

[Benjigga]

I'm in the Coast Guard and patrol the Bering Sea.. I've NEVER seen anything like that. I pray that my boat will never encounter a 60'er. Hopefully we came to help in that event.

[chefmarty125]

Now thats why you dont go fishing in the ocean... Lessn learned =)

[bernhard12345]

They were lucky that it was only a 60', a 100' would have sunk them for sure...

[jgehb]

Yep ... 100 feet is not uncommon. In fact I read where one of the waves during the "Perfect Storm" pushed 150 feet ... ohhhh crap!

[bernhard12345]

Here in the Netherlands, we have a govermental body who is in charge of everything that has to do with water.

They say that a monsterwave could be as high as 35 feet!

This is a big lie! I don't know why they are denying the fact that for instance, on 1 januari 1995 an oil rig measured a wave of 90 feet. Perhaps it has something to do with shipping insureance etc.

[schafer4016]

OH SHIT

[PDK80]

No wonder they call it the deadliest season!
