If its first time for people aboard a ship especially when you inside......you will feel the second nightmare. Been there and have seen what 3 metres high mean on boat since storm coming suddenly so cannot going back to ship. That video its like 10-15 metres high.

I live 5 miles from the North Sea, on the North East coast of 🏴. You’ve never felt fear like it until your stood at the end of a pier looking into that dark green, unforgiving abyss, let alone what’s inside it, the sea alone, and it’s roaring, deafening noise, crashing into itself in every direction.

During my tour in the Navy my ship, an aircraft carrier, experienced a North Sea storm and we rode that thing for 2-3 of the longest days I have ever lived. It tore the catwalks completely off the ship and we lost some aircraft and endured pure misery during the event.

The Irminger Sea is situated south of the Denmark Strait which separates Iceland from the east coast of Greenland by 250 miles of rough water. It is thought to be the windiest stretch of salt water on the globe and one of the stormiest places in the world. Ocean scientists have been studying the Irminger for the last 10 years. Hampered by its storms, powerful complex currents and convoluted seafloor topography, much about the sea remains unknown. Interestingly the sea is a narrow passage on the doorstep of the Arctic Circle and is a bottleneck on the “superhighway” of the oceans’ global circulation. It is the main route for waters flowing south from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic Ocean.

i've been in rough seas once and this video is the first time I've seen it like I saw in person. There is a massive wave moving towards you, towers over you and you climb over it. It's really insane. Edit: ah yes the youtube comment section where i can tell the same story and get 8,000 likes where in real life no one would listen 🤣👍
How do ships survive these? I'm so fucking scared of just watching this happening. How don't they sink? Is it the same for small yatch's as well as big ships like this one? What if that wave hit it directly from its left or right flank would the ship sink or still be above water like in this video?
I really truly think that lots and lots of people, definitely most, maybe even nearly all, would find they have this sort of side to themselves ... if it were more common for people to encounter opportunities to find out.
The thing I never realized until recently is that it's not simply getting hit by the big wave that's bad, it's that you are lifted up into the air 60 ft from the previous wave and then dropped 60 feet when you pass over it only to be hit by a 60 foot wave when you hit the bottom.
Yeah bro I was on a 60 foot yacht on my last vacation and we got caught in a legit storm and it was f’ing terrifying. It was probably nothing compared to that wave height and it still felt like a roller coaster for multiple hours straight
Yes. Ships experience reduced stability when riding the crest of the wave, and in following seas. Following seas also pose the risk of broaching-to, where the wave pushes you sideways from behind and causing the ship to capsize. If they ride the crest too long, they can experience total loss of stability and capsize for what looks like no reason. With that being said, the stability is constantly changing in all sea states, and it takes a good smart captain to bring everyone home safely.

самый большой кайф, восторг и ощущение полноты в жизни получил именно во время шторма! когда теплоход как с горки летит во впадину между волнами и гребень следующей волны выше надстройки корабля (высота 4 этажного дома над палубой), а затем волна перехлёстывает полубак и метровым слоем прокатывается по палубе (пару раз волна прямо через фальшборт - водопадом обратно в море 😃😃😃😃) и, когда через клюзы вода уходит, теплоход, встрепенувшись и "отряхнувшись" взбирается на новую стену серой воды!!! ЭТО НЕВЕРОЯТНОЕ ОЩУЩЕНИЕ !!! Не могу передать словами этот ВОСТОРГ! Находка - Невельск - Мыс Елизавета, постояли - Петропавловск - Пахачи - Провидения. И обратно - в Петропавловск.

Jerry Glinski Guess I can see that...I did have a thought one time before I went skydiving for the first time that if my parachute didnt open and I was falling to the earth about to die I would probably start laughing and screaming like lt. dan in the rainstorm in forrest gump lol
Imagine how many ships were crushed ? Dont say it was an easy walk . Vikings did it near the land, baltic sea, near land of Finland , Estonia and Russia. And i dont think they liked weather like this lol
My Dad served in the USN for 20 yrs w 4 out of the last 5 on a 450 ft Adams Class Destroyer. One time when his ship pulled into port from a N Atlantic cruise, I noticed that the aluminum deck ladder hand rails that were supposed to be straight as an arrow had all kinds of bends and twists in them. When I asked him why he rather non-chalantly said; "oh yeah, that's from huge waves in the N Atlantic pounding them for days". My 5' 6" Dad was suddenly 10 foot tall to me.
I don’t know which part of those waves is scarier, the height which the ship is lifted at, or the little downward motion the ship does right before the wave that makes it look Impossible to get over
You know that science has gone a long way when it's possible for someone to safely say "It's fucken awesome!" While directly confronting this monster. Kudos to the guys making those ships
Cheers to all the sailors before us who breathed, died, got lost and some excelled over these wild waves which I believe are the true representatives of nature's character which beholds power and beauty at the same time. The same water which gives life to all took countless lives of our old time simple sailors with nothing but a wooden boat and an Iron mind. Respect to them and love to all. Peace.

The sudden drop from going on those waves causes a weird laugh, its both nervous laugh, fun laugh and a stomach turning laugh. watch any other waves vids and laughings very common.
If it could've, it would've. But it didn't even threaten it. You only need to worry about waves like that when they come at you from the side and tip the ship over.
Every time i read a balls joke like that, i lose 20 points of IQ. It's that stupid. That's 40 so far. Now i'll have to learn 3 new languages to get smart again.
I remember i was on a cruise in Thailand and there was groups separated into different speed boats. We boarded on an island but after lunch it started to get really stormy and were obliged to board on the huge ship that could fit all those divided groups combined. The sea was really instable and the ship had to go over waves as high as 5-3 meters above surface level. I have sea sickness and so did the majority of the people there, so you could literally hear vomiting noises all throughout the voyage. Some foreign girls were looking at my dreadful careless look who had only the goal to reach the land in mind,they seemed to be unbothered by all the chaos around them lmao. My mom was praying out loud in front of everyone , and that was the first time in my life that i witnessed her doing that. My dad felt sick as well and the only physically unharmed person was my sister who kept recording us. We arrived in the end to the starting point safely but i suffered severe headaches the entire day until i finally slept. It was a very memorable day honestly. Thanks for reading the event that a bunch of inexperienced blockhead who happened to be reminded by that event while seeing this video. Have a nice day

I Am Sekou kind of matters. Trawlers usually stay closer to shore where the waves are tinier and you just stay in port for a storm
Idk why but these are some of my favorite videos
Anybody who can get that excited in those extremes was born to do that. Good for him for finding his passion in life. We need people like that.
I really truly think that lots and lots of people, definitely most, maybe even nearly all, would find they have this sort of side to themselves ... if it were more common for people to encounter opportunities to find out.
@@ItsAsparageese certainly not

Cameraman know he won't die that's why he is laughing
Plot armour
it's the other way round, he wanted to die and now he's laughing cuz he's gonna die
Yup he knew the water ain’t gonna do nun
u know he died when the camera turned off
Welp
The thing I never realized until recently is that it's not simply getting hit by the big wave that's bad, it's that you are lifted up into the air 60 ft from the previous wave and then dropped 60 feet when you pass over it only to be hit by a 60 foot wave when you hit the bottom.
Yeah bro I was on a 60 foot yacht on my last vacation and we got caught in a legit storm and it was f’ing terrifying. It was probably nothing compared to that wave height and it still felt like a roller coaster for multiple hours straight
@dygger2fr
Yes. Ships experience reduced stability when riding the crest of the wave, and in following seas. Following seas also pose the risk of broaching-to, where the wave pushes you sideways from behind and causing the ship to capsize. If they ride the crest too long, they can experience total loss of stability and capsize for what looks like no reason. With that being said, the stability is constantly changing in all sea states, and it takes a good smart captain to bring everyone home safely.

Imagine 500 years ago going out into this with no guarantee there's land at the other side or you can find your way back
Boats have been crossing the North Sea for well over a thousand years.

Jozua86 The portuguese men? Yeah I remember that. Hugs from portugal
Yea, many died
The vikings have traveled the north sea 1000 years ago, and they did it everyday, with boats that was 1-2 m over water. pretty impressive stuff.. But in 2018 Its not that bad to be honest. Its pretty standart conditions in the north sea, and we sail like this all the time. its nothing special
Those are the ones who the treasure hunters look for these days.
No need to imagine, most would not sail the seas. They would wait untill spring.
*Remember, men sailed these waves in tiny wooden boats for centuries.*
Yeah
Well, at least those seas. They may have wisely avoided the seasons when they could reasonably expect these waves.

самый большой кайф, восторг и ощущение полноты в жизни получил именно во время шторма! когда теплоход как с горки летит во впадину между волнами и гребень следующей волны выше надстройки корабля (высота 4 этажного дома над палубой), а затем волна перехлёстывает полубак и метровым слоем прокатывается по палубе (пару раз волна прямо через фальшборт - водопадом обратно в море 😃😃😃😃) и, когда через клюзы вода уходит, теплоход, встрепенувшись и "отряхнувшись" взбирается на новую стену серой воды!!! ЭТО НЕВЕРОЯТНОЕ ОЩУЩЕНИЕ !!! Не могу передать словами этот ВОСТОРГ!

Imagine being a tiny little viking era ship in this sea
Yeah you're 120 longships would've been annihilated, still lucky if 20 ships survive
Imagine how many ships were crushed ? Dont say it was an easy walk . Vikings did it near the land, baltic sea, near land of Finland , Estonia and Russia. And i dont think they liked weather like this lol
Dont think they were dumb... I guess they were just out there when weathers good

My Dad served in the USN for 20 yrs w 4 out of the last 5 on a 450 ft Adams Class Destroyer. One time when his ship pulled into port from a N Atlantic cruise, I noticed that the aluminum deck ladder hand rails that were supposed to be straight as an arrow had all kinds of bends and twists in them. When I asked him why he rather non-chalantly said; "oh yeah, that's from huge waves in the N Atlantic pounding them for days". My 5' 6" Dad was suddenly 10 foot tall to me.
And unfortunately our ship route is Atlantic Ocean and north sea 🌊 which is fully iced

I don’t know which part of those waves is scarier, the height which the ship is lifted at, or the little downward motion the ship does right before the wave that makes it look Impossible to get over

You know that science has gone a long way when it's possible for someone to safely say "It's fucken awesome!" While directly confronting this monster. Kudos to the guys making those ships
Amazing how you can get such huge waves on a relatively small expanse of sea like the North Sea. Impressive!
North sea , small ???? WTF xD
@@HALTSMAULALLLER He said relatively, which is true, when you compare to the like of Bay of Bengal or Arabian sea.
Because of the currents and tidal waters that run through a relatively shallow channel. Some of the roughest seas in the world.
Small? Not really. Obviously. Have you seen some of the waves they get in the great lakes?
We get waves like this during winter storms on Lake Superior.

Cheers to all the sailors before us who breathed, died, got lost and some excelled over these wild waves which I believe are the true representatives of nature's character which beholds power and beauty at the same time. The same water which gives life to all took countless lives of our old time simple sailors with nothing but a wooden boat and an Iron mind. Respect to them and love to all.
Peace.

I remember i was on a cruise in Thailand and there was groups separated into different speed boats. We boarded on an island but after lunch it started to get really stormy and were obliged to board on the huge ship that could fit all those divided groups combined. The sea was really instable and the ship had to go over waves as high as 5-3 meters above surface level. I have sea sickness and so did the majority of the people there, so you could literally hear vomiting noises all throughout the voyage. Some foreign girls were looking at my dreadful careless look who had only the goal to reach the land in mind,they seemed to be unbothered by all the chaos around them lmao. My mom was praying out loud in front of everyone , and that was the first time in my life that i witnessed her doing that. My dad felt sick as well and the only physically unharmed person was my sister who kept recording us. We arrived in the end to the starting point safely but i suffered severe headaches the entire day until i finally slept.
It was a very memorable day honestly. Thanks for reading the event that a bunch of inexperienced blockhead who happened to be reminded by that event while seeing this video. Have a nice day
If you were recording instead of your sister, you’d of been fine. Nothing bad for the cameraman

Many waves were created by your co-workers on the rivers.
