SAWYER GLACIER CALVING TURNS DANGEROUS [HD]

Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm, Alaska calving nearly ends up deadly from flying ice and debris striking the boat. A few of the spectators sustained injuries from being hit with the flying ice. The incredible video. August, 2011

glacier: i'm gonna do something interesting
cameraman: lemme point the camera at everything except the glacier

Never use zoom when you are filming a glacier!

Breathtaking camerawork! The shot of those sneakers, especially, nearly knocked me out of my chair.

I was looking forward to the massive wave. A true videographer would have taken an ice shard to the eye, an arrow to the knee and kept the cam on the action.

It's all fun & games until someone has projectile ice shards sticking outta their head & chest from a calving glacier 🤷🏾‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️😂🤣

Always that one lady screaming like it's the end of the world, then afterwords keeps repeating "we're ok, we're ok, it's ok-we're ok"

Humans: We want to see something 8(


Glacier: hold my Ice woman

[billfromwi]

does anyone on youtube know how to hold a camera?

[omcdude]

In every video, everyone films the floor once the action gets good.

The skipper of the vessel is totally irresponsible for taking people in so close, very lucky it wasn't worse for the passengers.

Great video of the backs of parkas and everyone's feet.

[maxinelouchis]

amazing video of shoes, backs of heads and the deck of the boat.

I was just watching another glacier calving clip and I was imagining how amazing it would be to experience something like that firsthand. The feel of the brisk, cold air. Staring in wonderment at nature's might and majesty. Then I started thinking about how large some of those calvings could be and that the water is basically death if you have to go in it. "Nahhh, I'll just watch youtube videos of other people going there instead." *clicks on this clip* "Good idea."

I love how they went from "Ahh, Ohhhh!" to "Ouch, ohhh..." in only a few seconds and a damn lot of ice.

[urtaxwiz]

I have to say I can't think of any thing more interesting in YouTube videos during an exciting event than the camera on peoples feet, so exhilarating.

[fakasi]

Yah hoho, wooot, wow, omgosh, SCREAMS of terror.

[MoontownMoss]

Woulda been awesome if someone had caught this on camera.

[xbpbatx]

Don't you love it when you get 5 seconds of action and 1 minute and 20 seconds of dizziness.

[jacobsdabomb]

Lol, that shriek at 0:49 is so stereotypical horror movies.

[bigbeasleyable]

I just love when mother nature takes her revenge on the masses.
