Leaked CCTV footage of cruise liner in heavy seas off New Zealand — Not recommended for those with a tendency to get seasick
Fair warning.
"The impact of massive waves that struck a cruise ship during a storm off New Zealand is shown by CCTV footage later posted on the Internet."
"A Pacific Sun Cruise liner, carrying 1,732 passengers and 671 crew members, was caught in a severe storm on July 30, 2008, encountering seven-meter swells and 50-knot winds."
"Passengers were offered a 25% reduction in the cost of a future cruise."
Better with the sound off.

How many injuries? Was anyone killed? If not, rather miraculous. Man that's some flying debris!

The world looked like that once - after a grad school party. My lab mate explained that the world would be OK if I still had the strength to hold onto a blade of grass to keep from being flung off the surface of the planet. I could have used some injectable Phenergan and a vent... Once. Was. Enough.
Still consider that the bridge crew had to be in top form despite the lurching - or we wouldn't be seeing this video....

Not a fan of rod stewart Joe? this vid is bonkers, if you had your kids with you this would be scary, but if had a couple of rum's in you and a pair of roller skates...well, whole different thing!

With my luck I would be in the bathroom just before the flush!
