Engine blackout on rough sea might damage, brake and sink the biggest ship very fast. Ferry or Big ship will sink and go under if ship engine stop or blackout on rough sea and vessel suddenly just float without control. This time, massive Ocean waves top over the ship deck and deck was completely under the water several times, ocean waves covered the deck for hours and we pray for the engine not to stop or blackout. Long and wide ship like this (340m x 60m), can go under water easier than medium size because of sagging-hogging bending moments. I was the guy who went out and this is real video from one wonderfully and scary moment of my life. It was extremely dire weather around Cape Horn (Tierra del Fuego), forced from the starboard side and stormy weather with severe wind and waves roll the vessel side to side. I this conditions is most important to stay calm and focused on keeping the good duty order on board with no panic or any other disruption . Keeping the course is very difficult since you have to avoid huge waves that can damage the vessel. Very important is to cut the waves under a certain angle.
