How Hollywood does a "freak wave" - Perfect Storm end scene

submitted by 13439
1 decade 6 years 2 months 1 week ago

There's been some real-life "rogue waves" / "freak waves" sifts, so here's the way Hollywood imagined one in the George Clooney / Mark Walhberg movie "The Perfect Storm". The movie showed the events behind a collision of three giant storm systems off the Atlantic coast, and was centred on a crew of a lost fishing boat. A drama, not a documentary, it projected how the crew might have interacted in their final days and moments.

There is no evidence that their vessel was hit by such a wave, but it makes for some high on-the-seas drama.

Animation tagged for the ocean CGI.

Too many violins but OK.

I have a question, why can't ships be made 100 percent water tight even in the event of a capsize?

Moving this video to Retroboy's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

RNLI (British Off-shore rescue charity) uses boats that are water tight, self-righting and can still float with 2 out of 5 compartments flooded. There was a How It Works done about it, but i can't seem to find the clip anywhere.
