Cruise ship falls off wave.

The video title is "Huge wave hits cruise ship" but tell me what you think happens.

It sounded like they hit something solid to me. Those waves didn't look that big. I was expecting one to go over the whole ship or something.

Looks to me like the bow went over the crest of a very large wave and then basically pulled a freefall....(A good 50 feet maybe?)

I agree. Videos like this don't make we want to try a cruise vacation any time soon.

It fell off the wave, the sound was everything in the ship crashing down and probably some metal flexing.


Happens, the QE2 had windows on the bridge punched out by a wave, they are like what 100ft above the water?

I think the trough of the wave got so shallow the boat fit ground.

Quick, run out and get that helicopter and taxi it inside.
