The idea of a rogue wave is so terrifying. They have machines that just kinda monitor random parts of open water and sometimes they pick up a giant 60+ foot swell that forms out of seemingly nothing. I could never be a deep sea fisherman or something because of that.
no ur comments more terrifying
They linked some sort of quantum mechanics to it
The waves are caused by the Other’s ships entering our oceans 😜🤯😂😂😂
Just horrific, cruise will never be on my bucket list, may she rip🙏
The power of water is not one to ever underestimate. As a professional mariner you take any and all precaution.
Imagine riding a floating mega hotel across one of the most dangerous stretches of ocean on the planet! Absolutely insane!!
nope. these cruises don't interest me in the least... you just know that one of these days one of these ships is gonna go over..
@@ldl239 yep just like a plane is eventually going to go down and a car is going to crash only a hundred times more likely?
I dissuaded a friend from taking one of these trips by showing her the disclaimer/release of liability she might have to sign. I also showed her the Predict Wind wind and sea animation from a typical trip.
You couldn't pay me enough money to cruise to these remote places. UA-cam will do the job for me safe and sound.
Cruising the Antarctic is not the same as cruising the Caribbean or Mediterranean! Placing your feelings that all cruises are as dangerous as this is not founded. You are being ignorant to assume the Antarctic, Caribbean and Mediterranean are the same seas! The Antarctic passage is one of the most dangerous on earth if not the most dangerous! Even a crossing over the Pacific cannot compare to these waters. I’m getting a real kick from these comments on this video! Just shaking my head, I’m sorry if offending anyone but those who are making the negative comments are people just permitting their ignorance to show. I feel for the family of the passenger who has lost their life on what was probably their bucket list dream cruise. R.I.P
What a nightmare. That water is freezing
check out the show I Survived on youtube
@@barrysoetoro1543 I love that show!! It taught me a lot.
Not really a rogue wave when you're in that region during rough seas.
its a rogue wave jhc..get a life
Right. All the waves are aggressive in that area but usually it never damages the ship like this one.
actually, it IS a rogue wave, they behave differently and are greater in size than the surrounding waves
Wife took me on my first cruise back in April. Sailed out of Los Angeles for Cabo, Mexico on Carnaval. Standing on my balcony at midnight to look down at the ocean and it was terrifying. Took our last cruise out of Port Canaveral Florida on Carnaval again for San Juan and Dominican Republic. Like the Pacific, the Atlantic Ocean is terrifying but overall, both cruises were beautiful experiences.
I wouldn’t consider that a vacation trip. It’s more of a frightening ordeal.
And this is why I’ll never go on a cruise. Rogue waves are insane.
I’ve never seen a rouge wave and most haven’t just don’t cruise to Antarctica
Same! Glad I'm not the only one. The though terrifies me and this just made it a point that my nightmare of giant waves can really wreck even the "safest" boats.
@@m_y_v_ yeah even if it’s rare, it’s common enough. Also being surrounded by ocean for days on end stuck on a boat isn’t my idea of fun lol
Don't drive cars or ride in one.. Rogue drivers.. Don't fly either. Stay home
Wow, how scary that would be. I don't like cruise ships, don't think I'd ever go on another one. Poor lady that lost her life.
Why would you never go on one again? I've never been on one so just curious
@@m_y_v_ they’re fun! Safer than planes, trains, and cars.
I’m a ship navigator in the Navy. The ship could have sailed around the storm. This could have been avoided and saved the cruise line money. I’m sure they knew about the storm before sailing through it. I wish the best for the injured passengers and condolences to the family of the lady who did not make it. I’m about to go on my own cruise, I’ll direct the captain if the need arises 😅
I love back seat drivers. They always know what to do after the fact. 🙄
@@emmanuelventura2044 🙄
No storm. The waves are always rough and huge in that region.
@@ms.bubs4fun506 not really, I actually lived in that region on several ships.
I'm sure that the captain will appreciate your input sailor. I recommend advising him during dinner. 😋
I wouldn't trust one of those cruise ships in anything more than a 8-10 foot sea myself. They have way too much glass, too close to the waterline to be considered a seaworthy open ocean vessel. They would do well to take your advice, although you know as well as I, that is not always possible.
That ship had absolutely no business being in the Antarctic in the first place.....
This is why I don’t go on cruises or go into a ship on waters.
Seeing these stories about cruise’s going wrong is nightmare fuel for me, I will never go in a cruise.
Just don’t spend 20,000+ to cruise to Antarctica
Cruise the Carribeans. It’s safe!
I’m good on going on a cruise, I don’t even go swimming in the ocean. I can do pools, rivers, and maybe a lake (maybe).
I used to work on ships as a musician. The QE2 on a December transatlantic crossing could be terrifying. Also smaller ships in the Bay of Biscay could be the same. Glad I had the experiences though.
Just what I always fear about a cruise! Condolences to the dead passenger's family.
Wow. We can’t make wave-resistant windows?
Why have cruises in some of the roughest seas in the world? The thrill of possible death?
How did the Water Penetrate those Bottom Cabins & the Boat Not Sink or how is the Ship allowed 2 Continue on??
Dov'è il video integrale?
If you look at the design of the ship it is quite obviously not designed for rough seas with many large windows too low to the waterline.
To sail a flimsy craft like this through the Drake Passage is not wise. Ocean going liners have relatively small but robust portholes designed to withstand the sea. Condolences to the family of the deceased woman. Very sad.
The ship is built to sail to these locations and through the Great Lakes, this is more of a freak accident than a lack of common sense.
@@TimCan144 i have a different point of view. Thank you.
I thought that straight away. This ship design doesn't look right to handle rough seas. I have never seen an expedition ship that has so much glass both at the bow and on the sides.
@@PK-hc8wu exactly. Look at military ships. No big picture windows on the hull. These cruise ships are designed to attract gullible passengers, not particularly to handle rough seas.
It’s false to compare military ships with any other kind of sea vessel. For context what’s your engineering background
Smooth coverage for sad topic, though proves vessel is built expedition well for such small damage area. Yet true shock to all evolved
That's so sad 😔 RIP 🙏
The food borne illness alone on these ships makes me queasy.
This is my worst nightmare! Nope, I'm fine on land. I really am! Never going on a cruise ship
Rogue waves seem predictable based on the area they were navigating.
The company probably called it a rogue wave to avoid lawsuits for sailing an unqualified ship into the screaming 60s just to cash in on all that Antarctica tourism profit
This ship was built specifically for the Antarctic region. It literally can break through ice. I’ve seen it myself. No ship is completely safe from rogue waves.
how did the woman die?
It's obvious, isn't it? That ship has GLASS windows everywhere. At the bow and also very low on the sides. What could go wrong in rough seas on an expedition cruise that this vessel is designed for?
If this company connected to Viking cruises on Europeans waterways then because have had problems too?......Other ships have portholes that are many stories high before you have glass windows and I feel this ship is not suitable fot that southern ocean environmnet.........It's like the biiggest ships that travel between Florida and The Bahamas where they can't travel across oceans like The Pacific Ocean because they weren't designed for that........By the look of this ship it looks like it was designed for calmer waters. Rogue ways hit many ships travelling to Antartica but the ships mainly have portholes and if you want to view the scenery you have to go on the deck.
The Viking Polaris and Octantis are sister ships designed and built for cruising the Antarctic during the Northern hemisphere’s winter and the Great Lakes in summer. There could have been a weak point in the ships shell to allow this to happen. We don’t know as we are not ship building engineers. This is one of the roughest seas on earth and mariners throughout history have not survived this passage. A rouge wave could be disastrous to any ship. Those who say this is why they don’t cruise are just depriving themselves, cruising the Mediterranean and the Caribbean is nothing close to the conditions in the Antarctic., don’t go imagining things.
Bingo, that's what it looks like.
Those smaller cruise ships have passenger cabin windows to close to the waterline. These are fine for calmer seas but not open ocean!
Another example of how unseaworthy these modern cruise ships are. Big windows low down on the hull are as bad as the lifeboats being cocooned in the first deck totally inaccessible with any list. Their stability is totally dependent on their stabilizers. When they fail it doesn't take much of a storm to capsize them. Every year there are more cases, lightly reported, and the public is exposed to the danger most not knowing just how bad they are.
Death by a wave??..
WOW...that is a first for me....JEEZUS.....
Some crazy comments I would be surprised if some of you' s left your own house everyday.
Cruising has the lowest chance of dying from accident ( figures from 2018 show it as a 1 in 6.25 million chance) than planes and trains. Cars well obviously travelling to your cruise port or airport then Thousands + more chance of being involved in a fatal accident.
*people going to have PTSD now. LOL.*
Definitely a lawsuit brewing
How terrifying! I wonder if it was caused by an earthquake deep under the sea.
How
Does anyone know how big the wave was ?
60 feet?
50ft
Geesh Drake passage is no joke
Never cruise if you can help it.
Hence why cruiseships should not be the ones going on these kinds of "cruises" instead Ocean Liners are much more suited to the harsh weather.
I am angered at the fact that the glass used wasn't thick enough to withstand a wave. 😡 Apparently they didn't don't care.
Actually that should not even be real tempered glass that should be safety glass like they use on vehicle windshields with tinting to keep the glass from exploding in case something hits it or that should be plexiglass
Man will always lose to Nature.
@@mrsamsung8184 yes, or bullet proof glass, sandwiched layers of glass and resin. It's not like they don't know about rogue waves .
@@anonymousanonymous-tw3wm not in this case defeatist.
seems crazy how easy the walls fell down too. That seems like a crappy boat especially if they are trying to go areas of waters like this.
Holy Moly!!!
The waves in an Antarctica😮 the roughest waters on earth
The cruise ship should of known better
Super scary I’ve always been scared to go onto cruise ship fearing It’ll catch on fire 🔥 but this is even crazier.
That is why I stay on dry land
Where cars are way more likely to kill you...
Dry land is not always safe either
Dry land has earthquakes, tornadoes, and meth addicts.
Huh.. why it didn't sink like titanic
Ph. I don’t think God sent the wave just to kill one and injure 4 others for their sins or most of the boat and people would be gone. 😂 😂
I keep seeing idiots comment cruise ships safer than cars lol bruh it’s way more cars than cruise ships🧐
Yeah, F that.
Just another reason to not go on a cruise.
Antarctic cruise*
That’s rare …don’t happen often ..cruising is great
Playing with fire. Always.
That's why I don't play around with cruise ships waves are always bigger than them ships not me
Why on earth did they sail in those waters?
My worst nightmare finally happened 😮
😲😳
She had a nightmare 😆 sounds like someone looking for a payday as usual
Why do people like cruises? Sticky floors, unsalted food and germs.
You find all those things on land also
@@enjoyslearningandtravel7957 can’t exactly shop around, pick and choose on a confined ship at sea. Ohh jeez and that full pool and jacuzzi.. yuck!
Holy Munkey Shi😨sumone dved!??
F•that, I'm flying home🌊🛫
I dont go on ships, i get sea-sick..
Meanwhile, there was a story about 3 or 4 refugees living for 11 days on a ship's rudder going to the Canary Island unharmed.... 🙄
Can't imagine a person who looks like me (black), ever wanting to take a cruise to the Arctic. Let me know if I'm wrong.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Check out Ace’s videos on YT. He literally just did a video of his Antarctica cruise. He paid 15k too. It looked nice. I also have a black coworker that went too. Black people are not a monolith.
@@ms.bubs4fun506 in this case we mostly are. We like the sun, that's where we come from.
Maybe God sent that wave to deliberately target those committing sinful behavior. A severe punishment for one, and a warning for the other four.
This was no accident.
That poor snowflake had a "nightmare" i smell a lawsuit coming.
They sign a waiver they can't sue due to things like this. People want to be cruisers this is part of it.
People are human. They have trauma. You are super unthinking and unfeeling. Grow some empathy.
niburu coming from behind the sun.
🤣
Meesa say issa no Naboo issa called water currents and storms, storms are lunar. Maybe learn science you nitwit.
Fairy tale 🧚♂️
Will it be flat?
@@JustBRett69 No it will be shaped like a hubcap.
