      Yep, can confirm. Not trying to sound like a badass at all, but I’ve been in a couple of these sticky situations before and there’s nothing more genuine and nervous and gut wrenching and happy than that kind of laugh. It’s a weird feeling. Funny yet terrifying all the same. It’s like a laugh specifically timed by your brain and body to hold back a bit of vomit that you would otherwise choke up lol.. oh man being young was fun I can tell you that much. Where has the time gone..? These guys got lucky. But I would rather be lucky than good ANY day fam and you can bet on that!! This video doesn’t do justice to just HOW CLOSE they came to more than likely dying by at the very least drowning and hyperthermia but more than likely being crushed by that huge glacier calving. Good shit camera man! Holdin’ er steady while ice missiles hit the damn water around your little tin can boat like bullets lol WHAT A UNIT. I wanna by that man (all of them for that matter) a round of shots and a beer or two.

      I honestly think camera-men/women in many cases deserve so much credit, but sometimes it's such a weird situation.
      I remember (hauntingly) that there was a documentary involving female genital mutilation and I'll keep this short, so I don't have to think about it for too long.
      But basically, you saw it happening (partially off camera) to a girl aged 7. I remember her screaming and trying to wriggle herself out of the arms of her parents.
      And the camera focused on her crying face and if I had been the cameraman, there's no way I would've calmly been able to report and show the footage.
      I would've thrown the camera on the floor and either attacked the mother, father, "doctor" or anyone nearby. I would've vomited, cried, screamed, god knows what.
      I mean...I'm assuming as a cameraman/woman you try to detach yourself from the feelings or you try to look at it...as if through binoculars.
      But I would be surprised if the man/woman filming that documentary, doesn't have nightmares at night, about the screaming. It still haunts me and I wasn't even there.

    Having been a mile from a glacier as it calved multiple times, I learned very quickly that calving isn't always above the water. A lot of the times it is hundred's of feet below the surface of the water and if you happen to be parked or trolling with a boat right up close to a glacier, there is little warning when it surfaces right bellow your small boat and it capsizes you into freezing waters.

    Straight out of a movie, engine cuts out, moments after getting their engine back on the ice berg starts to break a little bit. There's a moment of silence before you hear huge deep crumbling and then the whole glacier starts to fall apart. The driver reacts quickly stepping on the gas as they narrowly dodge ice chunks flying around them. Amazing

      When you are used to keeping the camera on the subject, that's what you do. I used to film professional skateboarders falling on their faces, and bouncing off hand rails. The initial instinct is to recoil, like you see in so many fail videos but after you do it for a while, you just get used to it. I have filmed a bunch of people getting seriously hurt, and even someone dying. After you do it long enough, you don't even have to think about it. You instinctively hold the camera still and on the subject no matter what.

      the captain was the one who got them much too close to a superdangerous unstable ice formation that nearly missed them. he is no hero, he is just bad at his job. the ice chunks that nearly hit them would have crushed them or the boat and they would be all dead. they can be glad to be alive - but do not give this "captain" credit for it. it was pure luck.

    As they were fleeing in the boat, the cameraman got a fantastic shot. Hollywood blockbuster quality. Yes, the risk of hanging out underneath is very great, but how else could we get such fantastic footage? That's what these people are trying to do; they're trying to give the viewer an actual idea of how much of a behemoth this thing is.
