[@Pilotsf]

In 1969 I was second mate on the SS President Jackson, a Mariner class cargo ship 563' long. The Mariner class ships were very heavily built cargo ships of high horsepower and quite modern for the time. We were in the North Atlantic west bound in a heavy storm attempting to get to the East Coast of the USA to beat a longshoremen's strike that was expected. The Captain had on engine turns for 18 knots and we were taking a terrible beating making only 6 knots of headway into huge head seas of about 35' height. I called the Captain when I came on watch and told him we should slow down as we'd just taken three breaking seas of green water aboard the ship all the way back to the amidships house in the space of ten minutes. He ordered me to maintain engine turns for 18 knots and the ship continued to battle her way into these huge seas and periodically take green water all the way back to the house when a wave would break aboard the ship. Each time the ship would slam into one of these huge walls of water she would seem to come to a complete stop. Then the powerful engines would start to increase headway until she'd repeat the process until she slammed into another huge wave. Just about daybreak, I saw a huge wave that was at least twice the height of the normal wave height of 35'. Our height of eye from the bridge was about 60' and I was looking up as this huge sea approached the ship so it must have been at least 75' or more in height. The speed with which something like this develops is hard to describe as there was literally nothing I could do. While I thought the wave would probably break onto the ship with dire consequences, the period of the sea was such that the ship dove down into the trough and then rose up over the wave. It literally looked like we were headed towards the moon and the entire forebody of this loaded ship came completely out of the water. Then the ship crashed back into the sea and spray rose up a couple of hundred feet on each side of the ship. The ship then started to flex violently much like you'd flex a hair pin trying to break it. It was something that happened over 50 years ago but I can see the entire event and this huge approaching rogue wave in my mind as I write this reply. Amazingly, there was minimal visible damage to the ship when we arrived at port. I can't help but feel there must have been structural damage to the ship that wasn't visible to the eye.

While in the USN in the 80s we were taking on stores, via vertrep (helos dropping pallets on our stern helo station [not a flight deck]). During a break in the all hands working party to pass stores from the helo station to storerooms/refrigerators below, we were hanging out on deck. My buddy calls out "Oh my God!" (or something similar) I turn to look and saw a wall of water heading right for the ship. The sea state was high already as there had been a gale force winter storm in the area (we were in the Med in between Italy & Corsica), so the waves were in the teens in height but not breaking on deck. This wave was at least in mid twenties to thirty ft by guess. I quickly turned and saw about twenty guys rush the midships door, so that was not an option. A bunch of others were scrambling to climb up to the 01 level (the next deck up), I didn't have anything to climb up near me to even try this. So I just grabbed to superstucture hand rail (for clipping safety lines to in heavy seas), took a deep breath, and squared down slightly to give my body/legs more ability to take the blow (bracing for shock as the Navy trained us). When the wave hit I was underwater for a good few seconds, but then it was done. I looked around to see the aftermath, we had several guys down on the deck trying to get their breath & coughing up water. With three of these men hung up on the lifelines, one on the outboard side. Myself and a couple of others shipmates rush to this man quickly to grab him and get him over the lifelines and on deck. Some of the guys who had tried climbing to the 01 level had made it and some hadn't. They and the ones who didn't hear the warning or see the wave were among the dozen or so down on the deck, or in the lifelines. For the twenty guys trying to get in the midships door they got pushed into the ship by the wave through the open water tight door, with some of the getting knocked into inside walls (bulkheads). We got lucky nobody was lost overboard, and about a dozen guys with minor injuries that the ship's corpsman was able to treat. We always thought of this as a rouge wave, it was easily twice the height rest of the waves in the sea state we were in.

Rogue waves happen on the Great Lakes too, the Edmund Fitzgerald likely sank because a rogue wave forced the bow under and then it hit the bottom of the lake causing the ship to break in half from the structural shock. There are also different types of Rogue Waves, the waves on the Great Lakes were of the "three sisters" variety while the video mostly covers the "wall of water" variety. I've also seen rogue waves on smaller lakes, I was sailing on a local lake last month and the winds and waves were general one-footers and then I heard a sudden gushing sound and I saw a line of breaking 2 footers off the port side, and there were no speedboaters nearby making wakes and it came out of nowhere.

Once upon a time, I worked for a Southern US shipping company. After they downsized me, I went to work for the marine comms company who was providing their email service. I made a service call to one of the ships, and the Captain told me a story something like what was in the video. Rogue Wave came along, blew out most of the windows on the bridge, shorted out most of the gear there, including all the ship's radios. Our gear was in a different space from the bridge, up off the deck, so it was the only piece of comms gear that survived, and they relied on it from the Norther Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. It was very strange seeing a flood line on the walls of a deck that was about 80 feet above the waterline of the ship. I've seen some scary conditions from my own days at sea, but I'm glad I wasn't on that ship on that crossing.

@@f4llen489 As a sailor I certainly believe in the existence of rogue holes despite how terrifying they sound. Whilst I usually sail on a river, I believe I've come into contact with smaller versions of the open ocean monsters. They don't happen often, only when strong winds and heavy powerboat traffic are present but they are really quite freaky. Last time we (my crew and I) encountered one we were reaching with the spinnaker and a hole just opened up in front of us and almost capsized us. We may have uttered a large number of expletives. An analogy would be like if you were drag racing in a car (one of those super fast nitro powered ones) and just as you hit your top speed the road in front of you just disappeared. There is nothing you can do - you're going too fast to make a sudden turn so you just fly over the edge and pray.

we used to call that hammering in poles. It is like if you wanna hit a hammer on a pole to get it in the ground, instead of a hammer you think of the front of the ship as the hammer head. When you hit the wave it give a huge smash, but when you go over it and down again when the water level raises again you will hammer a massive pole again, depends on the steepness of the wave, if the wave is very steep the front of the ship will hit the water with huge force pointing downwards, hitting a new upcoming wave.

Our U.S. Coast Guard ship was hit by three sisters in 1970 about a day out of Anchorage Alaska. After watching this video I learned about "Rogue Holes." That is how it felt, and I had never heard of those before. In the previous year, the ship had made 6+ trips from Punta Arenas Chile to Palmer Station Antarctica. ie Cape Horn. So we had seen plenty of Hurricane force winds and heavy seas. I was on the fantail working on equipment in probably 6 to 8 foot swells. All of a sudden it felt like the ship was falling. Completely different than the normal pitch and roll in heavy seas. I looked up and said, "Holy F*&k!" I jumped up and wrapped my arms around an oceanographic crane. There wasn't time to get inside. The wave hit straight abeam. When the first wave wave hit, I got wet to my shoulders even though I was a couple feet off the deck. The ship took a 55 degree roll, and shook and I really didn't know it was going to come back, or roll over. As the ship righted, I dropped down and made it inside before the next two waves hit. This was 50+ years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Your video is very good and that's why I wanted to tell my story. Never heard of "Rogue drops/holes" before, but that sure seemed to explain the three sisters that I experienced.

The captain wanted to retrieve the very expensive gear from the ocean, which would take around ten hours. By time they were 5 hours in it became too much. So the gear was left and they made hast to land. Around half way home (6hrs) hit what was thought to be a rogue wave but was in fact the uphill side of a huge trough which punched out a window and cracked others, washed gear off the deck and nearly had a man go overboard.

Natural emissions (unavoidable) account for at least 97 per cent. Of that youd have to check as c02 emission checks have drastically improved as opposed to the standard test facilities of prior. It makes good reading, theres no greater c02 sponge than a mountain face. The end of the ice age will be imminent that's for sure and all wildlife will be forced to evolve as polar bears do now. Unfortunately this will be naturally occurring regardless, unlike the deforestation of the rainforest. Fortunately polar bears remain in their habitat but like all other species they will adapt, they're deadly but theres no deadlier than homo sapiens.

[@GoofballLOL]

@@sbill001 CO2 is absorbed by photosynthetic organisms like algae, seaweed, and trees -- mountain faces do nothing to curb atmospheric carbon concentration levels. It is an irrefutable, undeniable fact of science that climate change is anthropogenic; and it is due to our ~200 years of fossil fuel usage. Although our output of 29 gigatons of CO2 is tiny compared to the 750 gigatons moving through the carbon cycle each year, it adds up because the land and ocean cannot absorb all of the extra CO2. About 40% of this additional CO2 is absorbed. The rest remains in the atmosphere, and as a consequence, atmospheric CO2 is at its highest level in millions of years. Our earth's climate naturally changes, and we should be going towards a cooling phase right now, but instead we are warming to catastrophic levels.

Sailors: Whirlpools are real Scientists: No they're not. But hey, rogue holes... Sailors: Why you change the name?

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

Whirlpools ARE real. But take certain ocean currents, usually more common in storms in shallow water. Shallow being less than 40 meters. Your personal definition of shallow may vary

[@ameyas7726]

I think rogue holes mentioned are not exactly whirlpools and both are different!....rogue holes as rogue waves only appear for a small amounts of time in deep oceans and are actually holes in water as opposed to swirling water inside a whirlpool..

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

@@ameyas7726 indeed whirlpools occur due to trapped surface Waters in storms and swirling Waters where different water currents meet (including rivers and major oceans) in realitively shallow Waters as deep water would otherwise well upwards. Rouge holes are literally rouge waves in the negitive, surrounded by elevated waves of normalish size it drops you into a deep hole in the middle. Sounds terrifying.

Predictably, over-analysis of the joke ensues...time for a German joke here? Hey, though, @ Guy Smith, I laughed.

[@Skyliav]

I was so confused because english isn't my first language and obviously I know what a whirlpool is, but not in that context. So here I was imagining a sailor/scientist pool party.

Wieder ein sehr gut gemachtes Video, weiter so! Ich finde dein Animationsstil besser, als die minimalistischen Stile von z.B. Kurzgesagt, chapeau!

Freut mich!

“And was widely considered to be unsinkable” Me: Well that went well the last time didn’t it.

That is one of the highest-quality videos I've ever seen. Well done!! I'm amazed you create every part of it yourself. And I love the brisk pace - usually I watch videos sped up, but this one was perfect as-is.

[@lucy_armstrong]

I wish I had your processing power! I had to keep pausing the video to digest the information, or rewatch to ensure understanding... I've always been a slow processer, despite being intelligent, and I wish I knew more about what makes people like you and me function so differently - I would appreciate if he could make a video on that!
