Having a strong faith in engineering is required not to soil yourself.

I don't know what dark and festering part of my psyche YouTube has identified, but all of these storm videos are like crack right now.

Imagine crossing the sea in a Longboat in 700 A.D. and meeting one of those...

I can't get over the turquoise water in the deep sea. It's beautiful!

My mum lost a cousin in some part of the north Atlantic when he was washed off the fishing trawler he was working on, he was never seen again. The ocean is a majestic and terrible beast

I sailed many times across the North Sea in the '70s in tankers around 25000 tonnes and when fully loaded we played submarine with this type of waves.

Beautiful to watch BUT nope, no way!!

When I see shit like this I can’t help but be reminded of Bill Burr’s “being a mother is toughest job in the world” joke. 😂

amazing how its simultaneously the most beautiful sight to see but also has the capacity to topple the mightiest ships

The irony of drilling into the earth for oil when there is so much energy to harvest just splashing against our window....

The North Sea has a reputation for this type of behavior. However, I have experienced similar waves coming within 20 feet of the accommodation deck when anchored in position.
The accommodation decks were 80 feet above the water. So 60 foot waves. In the Tasman Sea off New Zealand.
Not a great feeling.

The shear scale of the waves is amazing. Would love to experience weather and waves like this at the least once in my life time.

[wuzu]

idk why but I love these storm videos :D

Before someone asks, the guy is saying in Norwegian (not very interesting): fook'en hell, I got in on video, fooken hell

She’s alive, she twists and turns looking to persuade you to her depths of darkness

I was on a small aircraft carrier as a marine during a decent storm one time. We were ordered to our birthing and I enjoyed feeling the ship battle the sea and knowing that I was ok because the ship was mighty. I couldnt imagine experiencing this on something not so stable. It would be a completely different experience

[chasecarlan]

you know huge waves on my recommended is something i never wanted, but rather needed

[terrysullivan]

Techniquely an oil exploration ship and not a Rig. Still scary though.

I work in an underground mine in Australia where Mother Nature is just waiting to kick us in the bum, I will take my environment any day over working offshore..those waves were insane...
