Heavy Seas

[slyman]

have a geez at this video I found on the Tube.

Hows the flexing and twisting of the vessel during the internal shots!

Stuff that!
How do you get the video like that? i thought you just paste the URL but it doesn't seem to work.

[slyman]

how about this one?

[slyman]

anyone for a holiday cruise?

The twisting in the first vid seems perfectly expected and normal to me.

The second vessel looks well suited to those conditions as it rises to the occasion well and recovers quickly and has a substantially deep keel.

The cruiseliner tho.................. something not right about it at all. Has it been gutted ready for the scrap heap?? Seems to be completely underweight and lacking ballast.

Yep the flexing would be perfectly normal and expected in those conditions, I knew this sort of thing occured, I've just never seen it happening.

Second vid, imagine being in the wheelhouse...

third vid, is the cruise liner valencia that got caught in heavy seas produced by a cyclone in the Indian Ocean I think it was, and I'm pretty sure quite a few passengers were injured.

No wonder they lose containers overboard in seas like that.
