Have you ever watch The Perfect Storm? If so, maybe you remember that giant waves
scene when Bill Tyne trying to get over the wave from that movie right?
We know if the Andrea Gail and her six-man crews were lost at
the Sea during the Perfect Storm of 1991 . However, there are also real events,
WHEN Big Ships must face life and death moments against rough seas and terrifying monster waves.
SO here are 10 NERVE-WRECKING MOMENTS SHIPS IN HORRIBLE STORMS THAT CAUGHT ON CAMERA!
What you are seeing right now is a footage of rescue moment when the fishermen
were trapped in the middle of horrible storm in the Gulf of Alaska, United States…
From this video, we can see how the boat was tossed here-and-there by the waves.
And please… don’t ask about the wave’s conditions
because it was so terrible! In fact, it looks like the waves
were about to roll up these fishermen's boats and sink it to the Atlantis…
Of course we know what will happen next.
This 3 crew-boat was “finally” rolled-down and sunk after being repeatedly hit
by those waves in the waters of the Gulf of Alaska, United States of America...
Luckily, the three crews were rescued by the ship's officers
who recorded the incident.
This incident, it reminds us how big is the risk of working as a fisherman on the high seas out there..
In this video, Norwegian Coast Guard Team performs an extraordinary rescue mission for the 12 crew
of a Dutch cargo ship, which has been trapped in the middle of a storm because of broken engine.
This incident that happened on 6th April 2021 ago near Norwegian beach was quite thrilling.
Because this poor vessel was hit repeatedly by 15-meter-high waves and also strong wind gust.
From this footage, we can see how tilted the ship is, which makes the mission is
more dangerous and difficult to do. Even there is one of the crews who
jumped to the ocean so the rescue helicopter can save him because his position was unreachable.
Fortunately, the Norwegian Coast Guard quickly saved him although in a somewhat dangerous way…
The good news is all the crew members of this cargo ship
were survived from this horrible accident!
Remember that Interstellar Movie when Cooper sees a giant waves that Brand
mistook it as a mountain? Scary isn't it? It turns out that giant waves can also be
found in the real life, of course if we work in the ocean as shown in the following video.
The sailors who were crossing the waters of the North Sea in the Atlantic, experienced
a thrilling and frightening moment, when their ship passed through giant waves like A Tsunami!
Or this one, a rare footage when Russian sailors recorded scary moment of Terrifying Monster Waves
that appear in front of their eyes.
Thrilling and terrifying.. These two words may be the right
words to describe this following incident… A fishing boat in the New Zealand waters
has to deal with rough sea when it was on its way to work.
A choice to work that almost cost a Life when the next massive wave
hit this fishing boat that nearly capsized it. In the end, the boat was dragged back by the next
waves right towards the shore, which indicated his choice to work had to be postponed next time.
we are travelling splits into two parts. Like in this movie scene..
Thankfully, in the movie Scene there are Spider-man dan Iron Man who can unite the two
halves of the ship back into one again. Of course, it’s just a movie.
But in real life there is also similar accident as experienced by the MV Arvin ship which was sailing
in the Black Sea on January 17, 2021, ago. The Ship which was on duty to transport
the cargo was broken into two parts after being hit by waves and strong wind gusts.
The ship's hull, which looks sturdy and large, turns out unable to withstand
the natural forces of the Sea. It can be seen from the following
footage of how the Ship was ripped apart and swallowed by the ocean...
Sadly, it was reported that several crew members of the MV
Arvin ship died as a result of this accident.
Of course this reminds us of how big the risk faced by people who work in the ocean
This time a giant luxury cruise ship, called the Grand Voyager, experienced one of the
most stressful events caught on camera! It was when the cruise ship was caught
in the middle of a horrible storm in the Mediterranean Sea in 2005 ago.
Imagine, the giant cruise ship weighing 24,000 tons and with about eight hundred passengers
even tossed to the right and left like it was a small boat made of wood!
The good news is that there were no fatalities because of this incident…
However, it was reported that there were around 8 passengers who had broken bones…
Working as a SAR Team or known as Search and Rescue team is one of the most challenging and
dangerous jobs like the sailors out there! How can be not? While they do their job,
they often must go through really bad weather like this…
You can see for yourself; this SAR team of the Royal Nation Lifeboat Institution
must be trained in this such a way to be able to pass the brunt of the waves
that might make us seasick or even immediately resign from this job.
Unlike us, of course these officers are mentally and
physically prepared to deal with such conditions. Even so, the training and duty of these SAR Teams
are not always to be smooth without any failure... Just look at what happened to these officers
of the Royal Nation Lifeboat Institution, which happened in 1999 ago.
It can be seen how the small boat of this SAR TEAM officers
had to capsize after being hit by the waves.
From this video, it certainly reminds us how hard the duty of the SAR team officers is
There are many kinds of goods sent by cargo ships, and one of them is a car.
But, what if the cars that transported by the ship has to deal with terrifying storms?
Like this one, experienced by the Astongate ship: The ship that carrying the cars had to deal
with crazy storm which made the cargo of this large ship wrecked so badly.
All the cars were destroyed by colliding with each other,
and even some of them even fell into the sea.
In consequences, it was reported around 52 cars fell to the seabed.
Since stormy weather as well as terrifying monster waves are quite common in the Gulf of Biscaya,
the French Marine Nationale regularly has to build capable ships and exercise properly
to be able operate successfully under these hostile conditions.
Just look at this.. Crazy!
they do not look like sailing..
but climbing a steep mountain!
Another one, far in the Japanese Ocean. A captain and his crews of a Japanese Coast
Guard Patrol Vessel have to sail in rough seas which looks like an impossible mission to them.
It sounds crazy and unbelievable, but thanks to the experience and
skills of the captain, they managed to get through the brunt of the big waves
that almost made their ship upside-down! We can see how the captain handily turned
the direction of the ship towards the front which made the ship safer and easier to pass the waves.
Salute to the Captain who maneuvered that ship out of such
treacherous waters! His skill saved many lives that day.
Who is not familiar with the Pirate Ship Ride in the amusement park?
Of course, the experience of having a vacation on the Pirate Ship ride
in the amusement park is a pleasant experience. But it’s a different story if you had what these
tourists experience in Greece waters in 2011 ago.
These tourists had a horrific experience,
because their ship was caught in rough sea just about when they were to go sailing
We can see how struggling the ship is, even it was swayed to the right and left after
being repeatedly hit by the waves and strong winds that made these tourists scream in fear…
Of course, the screams of these tourists are different from our screams when riding
the Pirate Ship in the Amusement Park… Fortunately, the ship was still not too
far from the beach. So they can get rescued by the security officers near that area.
