I was on the QE2 when that wave struck. The passenger areas were empty, all of us had been confined to our cabins by Captain Ron Warwick. I had gone out on deckl around 30 minutes before and the wind was so strong I was frightened to go more than 1 step with my hands holding the doorframe, before I returned inside. Around 10 minutes later the crew locked all the doors leading to the deck...and we were all asked to return to our cabins. I believe the anti-flood doors were also lowered between corridor areas. After the storm, there was a fair bit of damage to the ships common areas. However, in no way were the passengers eating and drinking and the band playing even 30 minutes before the wave hit.
clearly that would have been the case- the QE2 got hit during a major storm- no ship would have the passengers having a party under those conditions. This video is dishonest in its depiction.
I was there too. I was a wine steward sitting in the crew bar, all the rest of the crew had gone to bed as it was starting to get a wee bit scary. I was very drunk. When we hit the big one the watertight doors buckled and water pissed in. I'm sat there and the captain and several officers came in to inspect the damage, all in overalls...so I knew it was serious as I'd never seen them wearing that before. They barely glanced at the young and very drunk idiot in the corner with water sloshing around his feet and instead proceeded to go check out the damage. I remember thinking I'd best be off to bed as things seemed very serious all of a sudden, so I sloped off. We stayed over in NY and assessed the damage. The crew and passengers all got a certificate stating we'd survived hitting a tidal wave. Great PR...passengers loved it, something to brag about. I've still got mine in the attic at my folk's house. They were good times :)
I wish they would do one on the SS Michelangelo's incident. In 1965, she was hit by a rogue wave that tore open her forward aluminum superstructure like tinfoil, causing way more extreme damage than this. The ship arrived in New York looking like a huge bomb had gone off. That incident and the fact QE2's own aluminum structure was really costly to maintain, is why Cunard built the Queen Mary 2 with traditional steel superstructure, despite the heavier weight it added.
i was on the ship when the wave occurred, and nobody was in the public areas. i was in my canin with some friends, and everybody else was in there cabins aswell. the ship went through one giant wave, me being on a window cabin. the window had been flushed with the wave, i was also on the high decks of the ship. nobody new how big the wave was, but it was terrifying. as the morning came, i returned to the public areas to see furniture everywhere. there was one bathroom i went in, and the toilit seat was smashed on the floor. it was a terrifuing experience, but it could have been way worse.
This is a good evidence that the QE2 was a proper ocean liner. What if an average cruise ship hits a 33 metre high wave? It was a little chaos onboard the Anthem of the Seas when she hit 10 metre waves in february 2016 and that ship has more than twice the tonnage of the QE2. This is one reason why I have a great passion for ocean liners.
Well, my Passion for Ocean Liners Comes from the fact that I just love their Designs...There´s something about old Ocean Liners....their look is just unique. I like today´s ship design too, but there are far less good looking ships today.
The design of the ocean liners is the other and actually the most important reason why I love them. All of them weren't big and fast like the QE2, and some of these beautiful ships were still built in the early 1970's, like the former NAL-liner MS Vistafjord (1972), later renamed Caronia, Saga Ruby and Oasia. Unfortunately this ship is sold for scrap now. I don't actually like the exterior design of the new large cruise ships, they look too fat and too boxy.
Well, that´s a matter of opinion. Many People don´t like the Oasis Class of Royal Caribbean, because they have so many balconys and look like a giant Hotel, but I still think that the ships have a beautiful side Profile. They may be very big, but from the side they still look like an actual ship, unlike other ships like the Norwegian Epic which have vertical walls at the Stern from the water line all the way to the top. And the Oasis Class has no strange clunky structures, like that "Thing" built on top of the Bridge of the Epic...
This is so unrealistic... the wave hit in the early hours of the morning. You think passengers would still be having dinner at 2am? All restaurants, bars, shops, theatres etc. had been closed for hours. I know. I was part of the crew on the cruise and went through this experience.

The QE2 was hit just two years after my then seven-year-old son and I crossed in 1993 on his first trip to the UK, so we followed the 1995 wave story with much interest. I remember reading that that grand piano in the Queen's Grill, which was bolted to the floor, broke loose and crashed across the width of the room to the opposite wall. We did another transatlantic QE2 crossing in 2003 before she was sold. That was the summer that NYC had the huge blackout, which was reported in the ship's morning paper. We planned to spend a few days in NYC and had a reservation at the Plaza, but with all their electricity knocked out the hotel had passed out pillows and blankets and sent their guests across the street to sleep in Central Park. I didn't know sleeping rough was so expensive! We had no idea whether we'd have a place to stay. Luckily by the time the ship docked the city power was restored and our room was OK, although Plaza employees were still collecting bedding from the park.
She did punch her way through that wave with remarkably little damage. She was built on the Clyde to take just that kind of punishment in the North Atlantic in winter. A magnificent ship! I cruised on her three times, with the utmost confidence in her abilities. The passengers on that crossing were all given a certificate as a souvenir of the the occasion.
I really wish that I could´ve had a chance to travel on her at least once. But I was 4 when she went out of service. Well, she still exists, maybe Cunard will get her back eventually....at least that´s what I hope.
Unfortunately she won't come back. Today, April 18:th, 2018, the QE2 finally opened as a floating hotel in Port Rashid, Dubai. At least she's safe now.
Was also on the QE2 at the time working in the Queens Grill. The ship was badly damaged if memory serves. we had to do an over night in New York for emergency repairs. we lost the spare anchor off the focsle deck ( 13 tons of it ) also squashed the forward deck by 15-20 feet and took all the railings with it!. The Pig & Whistle crew bar was a bit of a mess, again if memory serves, its been along time. I served under John Burton Hall as well as Warwick. Good Times!!
The death throes of Hurricane Luis. ROUGH water. We were on a HAL fall foliage cruise. We're locked in, battened down with Coast Guard escort between Halifax, Nova Scotia and St John, New Brunswick. Good to hear shipboard talk confirmed. I remember it was said QEII main staircase bent. All I know for certain is that there's no seasickness treatment strong enough!!! Glad you're safe!!!
Couldn't reply for some reason to Pigs Malone but if you see this, like you, we ended up in the shipyard in Marseille putting the boat back together. We spent 3 weeks putting her back in shape
The major difference between an Ocean Liner design and a Cruise Ship design -- Ocean Liner hulls are considerably thicker and more rigid, they ride lower in the water to gain support and stability, and their bows tend to be longer and extend higher, making it much easier to pierce through very large waves and gain buoyancy through waves that exceed hull height. Even a side hit by such a large wave would have been unlikely to fully capsize this vessel, due to its deep displacement hull design. That kind of wave would have made short work of the standard cruise ship designs preferred today. There are currently only a few passenger vessels that are Ocean Liner deep displacement hulls operating today. Queen Mary 2 is one, now that Queen Elizabeth 2 has been retired. These were remarkably well constructed, and expensive, designs that have the robustness to weather the worst conceivable storms and all but the largest ever detected ocean waves.
@@deborahpeeples1439 Hi Deborah; thank you for the compliment! I do so enjoy reviewing the extraordinary engineering of these older and more expensive vessels and lament their passing out of fashion as a form of convenient travel. With global WIFI and remote work and zoom meetups, one could all but avoid a fast and usually uncomfortable intercontinental aircraft flight in favor of transportation more at ease, spacious, and enjoyable -- and perhaps equally affordable -- aboard one of these remarkable Passenger Liner style vessels. So, perhaps there will come a time in our modern age when work/life balance and convenient interconnectedness revitalizes this mode of travel for more than the niche client... where people can once again revel in "the journeys of life" moreso than merely leaping as quickly as possible to each "destination." Moreso than QM2, QE2 had some engineering features that made it even more impervious to easy water incursion above its primary hull, which you can observe along its sides, for virtually the entire length of the craft. While QM2 began the trend toward sliding glass door accesses on topside infrastructure -- to be sure, a significant weakness point in engineering should any flanking superwave avoid actions by captain and crew to align against slicing bow structures. But people today expect hotel-like room views everywhere, with balconies that are difficult to reinforce against the potential 100 ton impact of a side swiper -- otherwise, these vessels were nearly as impractical to skuttle or sink as many of the best and largest navy vessels are today, and in fact have a better safety profile historically (outside of wartime) than intercontinental air or, indeed, automobile travel. In any case, hats off to the marvelous and thoughtful engineering that went in to this mode of travel on particularly these two amazing ships, QM2 and QE2.
"Turning everything into a nightmare". Yeah i hate when the wine spills and a couple of people fall over and an old lady wakes up. The stuff nightmares are made of...
There was serious damage on the ship. Rogue waves arent just some big waves that do nothing. theyre dangereous. the Lusitania encountered one and had her bridge smashed in. It could have been much worse.
@@robertbarncord6341 Well we're talking about forces of 10x what science told us was possible back then. Yes all the aspects of the structural damage were left out. But look at the Bremen which nearly sank. Or the München, which did. I don't think we should make fun of it, even if we're not seeing what's going on in other parts of the ship. However I can't tell how much damage she actually took, since I never saw the documentary (I still want to.) and reiliable sources are scarce.
@@limeddasch382 Reasonable amount of damage to the public areas, like the ballroom, restaurants, bars. Some of the glass windows on the rear deck near the pool smashed. Some of the aluminium superstructure for the Q grade penthouses damaged. Overall not too bad considering.
This is an interesting video. And one of the highest rogue waves ever recorded. I think it was rather 29 metres, but anyway, massive. And in any case I believe it was reported that the wave almost sunk the ship
At least the Ship wasen’t on its side and hit the wave straight forward which keeps the balance. If it went to a poesidon position it would’ve been catastrophic. Imagine a News paper saying “Queen Elizebeth 2 MISSING out in sea with all occupants”
@@carlosthedeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not close by capsize 2 funnels fell and queen Mary went sliding on the land they left her to sank and made another queen Mary camouflaging the sink the worse thing they didn’t named it queen Mary 2
People: The Queen Elizabeth 2, TWICE as heavy as the RMS Titanic, large enough to carry well over 11,000 people, and built using the latest technology is definitely impermeable to damage! Sailors: The "rogue wave" will sink it People: That's just a myth. Just because the MS München sunk, and that oil rig off the coast of Norway experienced some damage doesn't mean those "freak waves" exist. Rogue Wave (which exists) : Rose out of the sea and battered it so hard that it tilted to a 55 degree angle (the sides of the ship almost touched the water).
The ship was in a storm, passenger are confined in their rooms, all loose thong probably got secured and there must have been no party or dinner etc...
Too hyped. I know, I was there. An officer onboard in the Pursers Department. The ship did not start to even move until about 10pm. The ship was really beginning to pitch about midnight and the 90 ft wave happened around 4am. By 8am the worst was over. Oh yes the recreation is pathetic. Could not even bother to get the uniforms right. Only the Captain was reasonable recreation of the real Captain.
@@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad If you saw the movie The Perfect Storm where the fishing boat climbs the wave ig was like that. I was in a forward cabin. The wave took us up climbing like an enormous roller coaster and we came down the other side like a fast bottomless elevator.
I too was aboard as Cruise Sales Manager and the re-creation here is ridiculous. As Terry mentioned, (hello Terry) we’d been pitching and rolling about for quite a while. I lived on 5 deck near G stairway, and was very bad back there. I’m sure it was worse in the forward section though. Of course I was in bed, and of course unable to sleep. As I laid in bed, I watched on my TV the (LIVE) camera view from the bridge. I remember when “it” hit, I watched on the TV the entire fo’c’sle deck do under, and when it came up the shipped shuddered terribly, which made horrible cracking and bending noises in and around my cabin. For the first and only time aboard ship, I feared for my safety, but after several minutes things started to get better. And yes, we actually had an overnight in NYC due to the need of the coast guard (?) needing to inspect the ship for seaworthiness. We were cleared to sail, and went right back to Southampton the next day. Fun to have an overnight in NYC though. By the way... I wouldn’t at all call this a rogue wave. We’d been tossing quite badly for a while. It certainly didn’t come out of nowhere.
Appreciated your account, Terry. I was passenger on HAL ship, sailing from Bar Harbor, Maine to Halifax, NS (rough) and then from Halifax back to St John's, NB (very rough) through the remains of Hurricane Luis. Leaving Halifax the captain came on the PA and told us to clear all surfaces, put everything in drawers. We were locked in/battened down/no access outside. They served supper, but all live entertainment was cancelled. We had a Coast Guard escort. There were trays of green apples and saltines, and barf bag dispensers everywhere. My family was knocked out with every seasick medicine available, but I couldn't sleep, so rambled around the ship. All the way forward the theatre was showing an action movie, I think it was one of the Die Hard series. There were only about a dozen of us there, eating popcorn and talking more than watching. The ship would rise and drop so that our bums left the seats, and the winds howling through the hawsers (sp?, anchor chain holes) was deafening. We all laughed about it being a surround sound, you-are-there, movie going experience. I slept on the cabin floor (vs top bunk!!) that night, and could feel the sea change when we headed north into the Bay of Fundy. There was talk all over the next day or two about the QEII and the rogue wave. The story was that her bow and main staircase had been damaged. It's most interesting to read the memories of survivors. Thx for sharing!!
Crystal chandelier’s and crystal Scones are a no-no any ship. Even on the RMS Aquitania with all its Edwardian interiors, no tingling crystal chandelier’s. Not good on a moving object. Who wants to be reminded one is sea 24 hours a day.
@@maxjudge020 there is only 1 ocean liner left and its the RMS Queen Mary 2. It's enormous.. But symphony of the seas is larger ( cruise ship though) Choose one of these I'd say.
@@mrd9147 I've always liked this song, so...personal choice, it's as simple as that. And, while I do listen to quite a lot of classical music, I don't know any classical piece I could use that has the same dramatic effect. I know it's cheesy and horribly cut, but I did this when I was 15...nothing worth making a fuss about. My other videos do have more classical music anyway...
Thanks I guess ^^ I originally wanted to do many more vids of various ship disasters, but life's just kinda gotten in the way. Maybe I'll pick this back up at some point when I have the time and motivation... we'll see...with UA-cam now being far more aggressive concerning copyright than they were back when I uploaded this I don't know if I'll be able to, but oh well...
l was there on board absolutely terrifying 3 days not allowed on deck. Wind speed indicator was blown away at 130 mph. Consolation was extra 3 days in New York for repairs
Must´ve been a hard time...still I wish that I´ll experience something like this some day...it may sound stupid, but things like this completely change the way you see things...
Because risks are higher at night than at day. You would be able to see objects or rough storms more faster during the daytime rather than the nighttime
It's okay, I find her to be one of the most interesting ocean liners built. Cunard's eagerness for her to take up the transatlantic passage from her predecessors when travel by sea was at an all time low is incredible. It was a massive gamble for Cunard. If QE2 failed them the entire company went down the toilet and would not be here today, as a matter of fact QE2 actually saved Cunard, she became increasingly popular and kept the Cunard Line bankrolling for over 49 years of service. Truly the great thing about her was that her design had made her easily upgradeable, in fact over the course of her life she had over 9 refits!!! It's too bad she languishes away in Dubai as a floating hulk with all of her luxuries covered in a thick layer of dust and rot thats stinks from constant neglect and loneliness.
I came across another Video in which someone uploaded the documentary again. The Name is "Katastrophen der Seefahrt". As far as I know there´s unfortunately no english Sub or Dub.
leDespicable Also... Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass du deutsch bist, von daher schreibe ich jetzt auf deutsch. Du kennst ja sicherlich den LASH-Carrier MS München, der angeblich von einer Monsterwelle versenkt worden sein soll. Und wir sprechen hier nicht von beschädigt sondern eirklich versenkt. Es ist also schon krass (selbst für eine Monsterwelle) einen 50.000 Tonner zu versenken. Von daher bezweifle ich stark, dass solch eine Welle das Schiff versenkt hat. Die Welle hätte mit 30m Höhe das Schiff zwar beschädigt, allerdings noch lange nicht versenkt. Und die QE2 hat ja auch eine Montserwelle scheinbar pberlebt die 33m hoch war. Ich glaube zear, dass der Hurrikan die Welle so hoch aufgepeitscht hat, jedoch ist es ja immer noch eine Welle.
Schon klar. Allerdings werden Wellen in der Höhe ja trotzdem als Freak Waves bezeichnet, weil sie aus der Reihe tanzen. Bei Schiffen wie der München muss die Welle ja nur die Brücke lahmlegen, dann ist die Situation sehr schnell brenzlig.
leDespicable Die MS München war ein hochseetüchtiges Schiff, dass solche Stürme schon öfters überstanden hat. Selbst wenn die Brücke von einer Welle lahmgelegt worden wäre, hätte das Schiff immer noch tagelang weitertreiben können. Man hätte das Schiff auch vom Maschinenraum aus steuern können. Aber die Frage ist, dass wenn es eine Welle wäre, sie wirklich die Brücke zerlegt hätte. Denn Schiffe wie die RMS Olympic wurden auch von Monsterwellen getroffen, auch die QE2 konnte trotzdem weiterfahren. Ich glaube deshalb nicht, dass das Schicksal der München wirklich von einer Monterwelle besiegelt worden war.
the ship did not sink because it was aimed at the tsunami and it turned off the machines instead the poseidon is not where the tsunami and it did not turn off the machine
@@eltripunlantelluvioso I never even HINTED that it sank because we all know the QEII did NOT sink. My reference to the Poseidon Adventure was more to do with how everything inside the ship was sliding around and falling and breaking BEFORE the Poseidon finally turned over.
@@kevinstefanescu9319depends on how it was hurt From the movie Poseidon it was broadsided. Vs. head on. Where head on it stands a much better chance surviving then hit broad side
I´ve thought about that, but Titanic is way too overused. There´s enough videos about Titanic out there. I am more interested in smaller and less known ships and disasters. The QE2 is an exception.
Oh my...I didn´t notice that :l I don´t remember the name of the documentary and it seems that I deleted it from my Laptop...sorry, maybe I´ll find it again :l
No. It's simply the second ship to bear that name. Not named after the current Queen. It's the same with the Queen Mary 2. Both the QE and QM ran a passenger service between Southampton and New York from the late 1930's up to about 1968/9. QE1 was sold in 1968 but it caught fire and sank in Hong Kong harbour in 1972. Cunard replaced it with the QE2 in 1969. QM1 was retired in 1967, sold in 1968 and is now a floating hotel/museum and tourist attraction in Long Beach California. RMS QM2 entered service in 2004. Hope that helps:-)
He's a captain with years upon years of experience in harsh seas such as the North Atlantic in winter. This is nothing new to him. While he admitted that this one particular wave was the biggest wave he had ever seen, it's all about keeping things professional. The captain is responsible for everyone on the ship including the ship itself. Screaming would have helped no one. Taking the best possible action as soon as possible would.
@@leDespicable My apologies. I didn't notice the age of the filmmaker until I read more comments. In fact, you made well-honed piece that hangs together well. tbh I noticed things that were regretfully left out by focusing on one aspect, specifically _how the pace of the visual and musical footage dovetails increasingly through the work, until the two combine into a single thread_ at the end. Good editing and a fine accomplishment!

I cruised on her three times, with the utmost confidence in her abilities. The passengers on that crossing were all given a certificate as a souvenir of the the occasion.
I really wish that I could´ve had a chance to travel on her at least once. But I was 4 when she went out of service. Well, she still exists, maybe Cunard will get her back eventually....at least that´s what I hope.
Ian Mcphail Thank you for letting us know the outcome. I was wondering if she had been damaged much.
Unfortunately she won't come back. Today, April 18:th, 2018, the QE2 finally opened as a floating hotel in Port Rashid, Dubai. At least she's safe now.
@@leDespicable she's never gonna sail anymore, sadly. She isn't even owned by Cunard anymore. She is owned by a company in Dubai.
"September 11"
I got a bad feeling about this
Was also on the QE2 at the time working in the Queens Grill. The ship was badly damaged if memory serves. we had to do an over night in New York for emergency repairs. we lost the spare anchor off the focsle deck ( 13 tons of it ) also squashed the forward deck by 15-20 feet and took all the railings with it!. The Pig & Whistle crew bar was a bit of a mess, again if memory serves, its been along time. I served under John Burton Hall as well as Warwick. Good Times!!
The death throes of Hurricane Luis. ROUGH water. We were on a HAL fall foliage cruise. We're locked in, battened down with Coast Guard escort between Halifax, Nova Scotia and St John, New Brunswick. Good to hear shipboard talk confirmed. I remember it was said QEII main staircase bent. All I know for certain is that there's no seasickness treatment strong enough!!! Glad you're safe!!!
Couldn't reply for some reason to Pigs Malone but if you see this, like you, we ended up in the shipyard in Marseille putting the boat back together. We spent 3 weeks putting her back in shape
The major difference between an Ocean Liner design and a Cruise Ship design -- Ocean Liner hulls are considerably thicker and more rigid, they ride lower in the water to gain support and stability, and their bows tend to be longer and extend higher, making it much easier to pierce through very large waves and gain buoyancy through waves that exceed hull height. Even a side hit by such a large wave would have been unlikely to fully capsize this vessel, due to its deep displacement hull design. That kind of wave would have made short work of the standard cruise ship designs preferred today.
There are currently only a few passenger vessels that are Ocean Liner deep displacement hulls operating today. Queen Mary 2 is one, now that Queen Elizabeth 2 has been retired. These were remarkably well constructed, and expensive, designs that have the robustness to weather the worst conceivable storms and all but the largest ever detected ocean waves.
Yes, compare 35 milimetres of steel to 15.
Love reading your post. Thx.
Is NAW, North Atlantic Winter, a real designation?
@@deborahpeeples1439 Hi Deborah; thank you for the compliment!
I do so enjoy reviewing the extraordinary engineering of these older and more expensive vessels and lament their passing out of fashion as a form of convenient travel. With global WIFI and remote work and zoom meetups, one could all but avoid a fast and usually uncomfortable intercontinental aircraft flight in favor of transportation more at ease, spacious, and enjoyable -- and perhaps equally affordable -- aboard one of these remarkable Passenger Liner style vessels. So, perhaps there will come a time in our modern age when work/life balance and convenient interconnectedness revitalizes this mode of travel for more than the niche client... where people can once again revel in "the journeys of life" moreso than merely leaping as quickly as possible to each "destination."
Moreso than QM2, QE2 had some engineering features that made it even more impervious to easy water incursion above its primary hull, which you can observe along its sides, for virtually the entire length of the craft. While QM2 began the trend toward sliding glass door accesses on topside infrastructure -- to be sure, a significant weakness point in engineering should any flanking superwave avoid actions by captain and crew to align against slicing bow structures. But people today expect hotel-like room views everywhere, with balconies that are difficult to reinforce against the potential 100 ton impact of a side swiper -- otherwise, these vessels were nearly as impractical to skuttle or sink as many of the best and largest navy vessels are today, and in fact have a better safety profile historically (outside of wartime) than intercontinental air or, indeed, automobile travel.
In any case, hats off to the marvelous and thoughtful engineering that went in to this mode of travel on particularly these two amazing ships, QM2 and QE2.
The QE2 is a testament to Cunard's shipbuilding prowess. It could have been MUCH, MUCH worse. We're talking Poseidon Adventure in real life worse.
QE2 was also 26 years old by that point (two thirds of the way through her 39 year service with Cunard).

@@leDespicableWhere do WE find the documentary?
This is an interesting video. And one of the highest rogue waves ever recorded. I think it was rather 29 metres, but anyway, massive. And in any case I believe it was reported that the wave almost sunk the ship
The movie Poseidon almost became reality that night
Wait it really happened??
@@mv2175 Yup, QE 2 saw a 33 meter high rogue wave that night
Also this also happened to the queen mary and the queen mary ALMOLST CAPSIZED

@@jackglynnmc.studios7408 Considering the fact that everybody on board QM could've died I'd say it propably wouldn't, yes.
At least the Ship wasen’t on its side and hit the wave straight forward which keeps the balance. If it went to a poesidon position it would’ve been catastrophic. Imagine a News paper saying “Queen Elizebeth 2 MISSING out in sea with all occupants”
Actually RMS Queen Mary was broadsided by a similarly sized wave transporting troops in WW2. She survived.
wouldve been worse if the wave came sideways to the ship
i think the 1st queen mary hit a rogue wave on its side and it was very close to capsizing
@@carlosthedeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not close by capsize 2 funnels fell and queen Mary went sliding on the land they left her to sank and made another queen Mary camouflaging the sink the worse thing they didn’t named it queen Mary 2
@@carlosthedeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yes about two or three degrees more and she would've been a goner. She already was known to be a prominent roler.
@@limeddasch382 maybe the only reason she didnt sink is that she was the first ocean liner to have ways to cope with bigger waves
People: The Queen Elizabeth 2, TWICE as heavy as the RMS Titanic, large enough to carry well over 11,000 people, and built using the latest technology is definitely impermeable to damage!
Sailors: The "rogue wave" will sink it
People: That's just a myth. Just because the MS München sunk, and that oil rig off the coast of Norway experienced some damage doesn't mean those "freak waves" exist.
Rogue Wave (which exists) : Rose out of the sea and battered it so hard that it tilted to a 55 degree angle (the sides of the ship almost touched the water).
Nobody knows exactly if the MS München really sunk because a freak wave hit the ship...

Thanks for this.. QE2 is a fine looking ship it has been down under.
Next time asked videographer how did he survive d storm as he managed to film d ship..hahaha
Fortunately, everyone onboard survives without injuries.
Hopefully the cruise line learned from their mistake and switched to plastic bottles for the booze. What a terrible waste that was.
😂
The ship was in a storm, passenger are confined in their rooms, all loose thong probably got secured and there must have been no party or dinner etc...
A rogue wave is really scary to experiance onboard an oceanliner.
Too hyped. I know, I was there. An officer onboard in the Pursers Department. The ship did not start to even move until about 10pm. The ship was really beginning to pitch about midnight and the 90 ft wave happened around 4am. By 8am the worst was over. Oh yes the recreation is pathetic. Could not even bother to get the uniforms right. Only the Captain was reasonable recreation of the real Captain.
What did it feel like when the big wave hit? Im curious. I like details.
@@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad If you saw the movie The Perfect Storm where the fishing boat climbs the wave ig was like that. I was in a forward cabin. The wave took us up climbing like an enormous roller coaster and we came down the other side like a fast bottomless elevator.
I too was aboard as Cruise Sales Manager and the re-creation here is ridiculous. As Terry mentioned, (hello Terry) we’d been pitching and rolling about for quite a while. I lived on 5 deck near G stairway, and was very bad back there. I’m sure it was worse in the forward section though. Of course I was in bed, and of course unable to sleep.
As I laid in bed, I watched on my TV the (LIVE) camera view from the bridge. I remember when “it” hit, I watched on the TV the entire fo’c’sle deck do under, and when it came up the shipped shuddered terribly, which made horrible cracking and bending noises in and around my cabin. For the first and only time aboard ship, I feared for my safety, but after several minutes things started to get better. And yes, we actually had an overnight in NYC due to the need of the coast guard (?) needing to inspect the ship for seaworthiness. We were cleared to sail, and went right back to Southampton the next day. Fun to have an overnight in NYC though. By the way... I wouldn’t at all call this a rogue wave. We’d been tossing quite badly for a while. It certainly didn’t come out of nowhere.
Appreciated your account, Terry. I was passenger on HAL ship, sailing from Bar Harbor, Maine to Halifax, NS (rough) and then from Halifax back to St John's, NB (very rough) through the remains of Hurricane Luis. Leaving Halifax the captain came on the PA and told us to clear all surfaces, put everything in drawers. We were locked in/battened down/no access outside. They served supper, but all live entertainment was cancelled. We had a Coast Guard escort. There were trays of green apples and saltines, and barf bag dispensers everywhere. My family was knocked out with every seasick medicine available, but I couldn't sleep, so rambled around the ship. All the way forward the theatre was showing an action movie, I think it was one of the Die Hard series. There were only about a dozen of us there, eating popcorn and talking more than watching. The ship would rise and drop so that our bums left the seats, and the winds howling through the hawsers (sp?, anchor chain holes) was deafening. We all laughed about it being a surround sound, you-are-there, movie going experience. I slept on the cabin floor (vs top bunk!!) that night, and could feel the sea change when we headed north into the Bay of Fundy. There was talk all over the next day or two about the QEII and the rogue wave. The story was that her bow and main staircase had been damaged. It's most interesting to read the memories of survivors. Thx for sharing!!
For those wondering why the Captain didn't turn when the wave, If the ship had turned It would've rolled the ship all the way over
Yes, i’d say that not turning would be best. If you have a good hull, it will not break.
@@ShipsandGames Yea

UA-cam deleted it and I don´t know the name anymore, I´m sorry :l
It's okay, I find her to be one of the most interesting ocean liners built. Cunard's eagerness for her to take up the transatlantic passage from her predecessors when travel by sea was at an all time low is incredible. It was a massive gamble for Cunard. If QE2 failed them the entire company went down the toilet and would not be here today, as a matter of fact QE2 actually saved Cunard, she became increasingly popular and kept the Cunard Line bankrolling for over 49 years of service. Truly the great thing about her was that her design had made her easily upgradeable, in fact over the course of her life she had over 9 refits!!! It's too bad she languishes away in Dubai as a floating hulk with all of her luxuries covered in a thick layer of dust and rot thats stinks from constant neglect and loneliness.

This wasn't a freak wave. It was a wave caused by a hurricane.
It still was a freak wave. It's just that they appear in storms.
leDespicable Also... Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass du deutsch bist, von daher schreibe ich jetzt auf deutsch.
Du kennst ja sicherlich den LASH-Carrier MS München, der angeblich von einer Monsterwelle versenkt worden sein soll. Und wir sprechen hier nicht von beschädigt sondern eirklich versenkt. Es ist also schon krass (selbst für eine Monsterwelle) einen 50.000 Tonner zu versenken. Von daher bezweifle ich stark, dass solch eine Welle das Schiff versenkt hat. Die Welle hätte mit 30m Höhe das Schiff zwar beschädigt, allerdings noch lange nicht versenkt. Und die QE2 hat ja auch eine Montserwelle scheinbar pberlebt die 33m hoch war. Ich glaube zear, dass der Hurrikan die Welle so hoch aufgepeitscht hat, jedoch ist es ja immer noch eine Welle.
Schon klar. Allerdings werden Wellen in der Höhe ja trotzdem als Freak Waves bezeichnet, weil sie aus der Reihe tanzen. Bei Schiffen wie der München muss die Welle ja nur die Brücke lahmlegen, dann ist die Situation sehr schnell brenzlig.
leDespicable Die MS München war ein hochseetüchtiges Schiff, dass solche Stürme schon öfters überstanden hat. Selbst wenn die Brücke von einer Welle lahmgelegt worden wäre, hätte das Schiff immer noch tagelang weitertreiben können. Man hätte das Schiff auch vom Maschinenraum aus steuern können. Aber die Frage ist, dass wenn es eine Welle wäre, sie wirklich die Brücke zerlegt hätte. Denn Schiffe wie die RMS Olympic wurden auch von Monsterwellen getroffen, auch die QE2 konnte trotzdem weiterfahren. Ich glaube deshalb nicht, dass das Schicksal der München wirklich von einer Monterwelle besiegelt worden war.
Erfahren werden wir es wohl so schnell nicht. Ich glaube zumindest, dass die Welle eine Rolle gespielt hat.

Should the title be Rogue wave hits Queen Elizabeth II?
Is there a difference? Just wondering, I'm not a native speaker after all.
I would recommend saying that but it's up to you
No. It's simply the second ship to bear that name. Not named after the current Queen. It's the same with the Queen Mary 2. Both the QE and QM ran a passenger service between Southampton and New York from the late 1930's up to about 1968/9. QE1 was sold in 1968 but it caught fire and sank in Hong Kong harbour in 1972. Cunard replaced it with the QE2 in 1969. QM1 was retired in 1967, sold in 1968 and is now a floating hotel/museum and tourist attraction in Long Beach California. RMS QM2 entered service in 2004. Hope that helps:-)
