waves

to test the limits of their abilities, these things are the kind of friendly additions we get along with on beaches; However, just as the waves can be friendly, there are times when they are not so fun in some cases. In some cases these seemingly innocuous waves become so large and so violent that they pose a potential safety threat.

. The Khalila Wave 2 Back in 2010, a cruise ship known as The Khalila 2 would sail from the Antarctic Peninsula to Argentina. The ship, weighing more than 2,400 tons, was moving through the Drake Passage, one of the most dangerous water routes in the world, and despite its size, it encountered significant resistance that almost caused it to lose its balance now, a Despite initial resistance, the ship's captain, who had around 160 sea voyages under his belt at the time, believed they could continue moving, however, things took a turn for the worse when the ship was hit by a 30-foot wave. . which shook the deck and spilled water all over the ship.

The images of the ship struggling in the waves were taken by the National Geographic Explorer, another nearby ship that had picked up the distress signal from the Kalila 2. The wave reportedly knocked out power to the ship. and the communication systems left them offline, fortunately the other ship was able to connect a satellite phone and the Kalila 2 finally reached its destination with reduced power without anyone being hurt number 19, the Wahoo nuclear test, nuclear weapons give quite scary and although there is always the threat of nuclear Armageddon turning the entire planet into a cold ball of ash, several countries continue to develop their capabilities in case someone gets out of control after the debacle that was World War II , the United States military decided to optimize its strengths by developing its nuclear system. capability, this was around the time the Cold War was heating up, so with new threats coming, the government was looking to make sure it was prepared in 1958, after the government had conducted several tests in the Marshall Islands, They decided to give it another chance.

This test, nicknamed Wahoo, was intended to see the capabilities of the Mark VII nuclear gravity bomb. The Mark VII reportedly had an explosive yield of nine kilotons, about two-thirds the yield of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, the bomb eventually detonated. at a depth of 500 feet and the results were surprising. Remastered footage of the test shows just how crazy the bomb really was, just one second after detonation, the Mark VII had created a spray dome that reached 840 feet, the diameter of the dome grew as wide as 3,800 feet. at mark 22, which also shows how much devastation the bomb could really cause, but consider this, the Mark 7 pales in comparison to many of the nuclear bombs that are available today when it comes to destructive capability, so go figure. how crazy can today's bombs be number 18 Rodrigo causes a record wave in 2017 a Brazilian professional surfer and athlete named Rodrigo Casa officially broke the record for the largest wave ever surpassed the thrill seeker headed to the coast of Nazaré in Portugal riding an avalanche wave that was around 80 feet tall and to be honest I don't think anyone could achieve this feat with the right kind of Justice like he did in this video.

By achieving this feat, he broke the record set by American surfer Garrett McNamara. in 2011 and at that time McNamara caught a wave that was 78 feet and also at the same spot it seems like there is literally something in the water there because how the heck does a body of water produce an 80 foot wave? Quicksilver, double XL award for the biggest wave awarded by the world surf league in 2018 for his achievement and also commented on social media calling it all an incredible feeling. Records are meant to be broken, so let's see if anyone else is willing to give this one a chance.

In the future 17th Japanese tsunami in March 2011, the small nation of Japan saw what was the largest and most devastating earthquake to hit the country and, according to records, one of the five largest ever recorded anywhere in the world , the underwater earthquake had apparently begun. In the Pacific Ocean, just 72 kilometers east of the Oshika Peninsula in the country's Tohoku region, the United States Geological Survey would report that the earthquake measured between 9 and 9.1 on the Richter scale and, due to Because it lasted about 10 minutes, it automatically triggered a tsunami. which rose to a height of up to 10 meters was a truly crazy sight, the resulting tsunami supposedly washed away ship fences and even several houses.

This video shows water rushing over an 18-foot seawall in the city of Kamaishi. It may not seem so devastating when you look at it. look from above, but the tsunami wave was intense throughout the earthquake it claimed the lives of about 23 thousand people and caused damage worth between 200 and 300 billion dollars it was a massive event the likes of which we may never see again In quite a while ago, Cape Town's 16th storm surge back in 2019, the South African government sent an official warning to residents of several cities alerting them to inclement weather that could cause winds and massive rises and sea levels, The cold front was especially expected to hit the Western Cape. and although people had prepared beforehand, no one would be prepared for the massive waves that resulted from this, a police dash cam would manage to capture some of the footage and it would certainly be scary if you saw the guy in the car, what a lucky duck.

There were rains and waves that lasted for several days, hitting the city's residents and leaving many people unable to even leave their homes. Local officials blame the increase in the occurrence of waves on climate change, demonstrating once again that our environment continues to be in a very delicate situation. fragile state number 15. McNamara's 100-foot wave world record tends to change a lot. Koza had the reins for a while, but that didn't stop Garrett McNamara, the man who used to hold that record, from attempting some pretty epic stunts. In January 2013, McNamara outdid himself and almost everyone else on the planet when he rode a 100-foot wave.

This feat, which he also performed off the coast of Nazaré, was impressive and immediately sent shock waves throughout the surfing world. would question his sanity, while others were simply inspired by his bravery and courage. He knew he was going to be the biggest I had ever ridden and he knew what I was getting into. I've been preparing for years until now. McNamara's description of the wave has been questioned, while he claimed that the wave was actually 100 feet high, some people have raised doubts and considering that the Guinness Book of World Records has yet to verify the claim, who knows For sure, though, it sure looked huge. for me number 14.

The North Sea wave, now I'm personally completely in love with the ocean, that's why I go there as much as I can and by the time you see this I'll probably be standing in the sand however I am. I have a bit of a fear of cruise ships and after watching this video I feel pretty confident in my decision to never try this activity. In 2017, a cruise ship sailing somewhere around the North Sea would be hit by a massive wave that some estimate measured 100 feet. high, the ship whose name was not given seems to have had the misfortune of hitting the wave due to a storm that had been brewing at sea for quite some time and you can see how much it shook the ship, but why the hell? "The guy laughed because if it were me, I'd be riding my will and saying my prayers violently.

It's a good thing the boat was pretty sturdy, because if it were a smaller boat, it could very well have been easily overwhelmed by water number 13 anthem of the wave of the seas if you are familiar with cruises then you will probably be familiar with royal caribbean international, the company is one of the most prominent cruise line operators in the world and its dominance is due in part to ships like the anthem of the Seas, a Quantum-class cruise ship, Anthem of the Seas is truly one of a kind. The ship can accommodate more than 4,000 people with amenities such as amusement parks, bars, restaurants and other entertainment venues, and no.

No wonder this ship cost Royal Caribbean an estimated $940 million to build, yet the ship was pushed to its limits in 2016 while sailing from New Jersey to Port Canaveral in Florida, the anthem of the seas. He was hit by massive waves that were so big that they seemed capable of knocking him over. Rogue Wave hit the ship several times and the passengers feared for their lives as the ship literally had to stop again in the middle of the ocean. This is another case of a ship that fortunately was able to withstand a massive wave propping up the Captain, but for me cruising will be number 12 off limits.

Borgolm Dolphin Waves We all rely on oil and gas to power many things in today's society, however a considerable amount of the oil used is actually refined offshore. The platforms known as oil rigs are tethered to the ocean floor, meaning they actually float even though their legs are quite extensive beneath the sea; However, while they may be stable, this does not stop many waves from trying them from time to time in January. In 2015, Borg's home dolphin, an oil platform located somewhere in the North Sea had the opportunity to demonstrate its stability after massive waves began to hit it after a storm, although the oil platform stood firm, but not I would like to be the standing man.

When this was happening, even though the platform itself is about 60 feet above sea level, the wave spray was high enough to hit the deck, that's definitely not the kind of place where I'd like to be there, number 11. Almost for the next video, we'll take a trip back to Japan, where a Coast Guard captain recorded footage of a massive tsunami heading toward him. One of the most interesting things about tsunamis is that they form quite early in the middle of the Sea and then Cascade to the shore, so not many people see them while they are forming.

This Captain though seemed to be one of those Chosen Few, as the footage would show that the tsunami had been brewing quite early, but when the captain finally saw it. It was too late too late, luckily no one was hurt, but I just can't imagine how scary it all must have been. The number 10 problem in the Atlantic, of course, the North Sea is not the only body of water prone to massive storms. Back in 2021, officials aboard a chemical tanker had to run for safety as a huge series of waves hit their ship again and again, the sea appearing to have been quite stormy thanks to a three-day storm that had devastated him, so it seemed like mother nature.

He wasn't particularly happy that day and let the sailors have their fun. The waters of the North Atlantic are quite popular for being quite dangerous to maneuver. The famous RMS Titanic accident occurred here in 1912 and since then, fortunately, hundreds of ships have sunk in this area. Although the chemist managed to escape unharmed from number nine, he did not touch the goods personally. I think the bravest people on the seas are cargo ship captains, they have the unenviable job of transporting items from one place to another and if ever there is one. mishap at sea, they will most likely be blamed for it, even if they show up for work;

However, cargo ships are usually quite large because of course they have to be considering the amount of goods they contain, but even these huge ships will sometimes be put to the test. next to the waves in this video we see a fully loaded cargo ship trying to maneuver through the Bay of Biscay, a body of water that lies right between Spain and France, another notoriously stormy body of water, the Bay of Bisque can also become quite hectic and this The captain of the cargo ship was about to find out that the hard way, just take a moment to imagine what must have been going through the captain's mind at that moment, any cargo falls andHe will have all the blame and with the ship fully loaded.

It must have been a Herculean task to handle the whole issue number eight, the North China Sea wave, still on the topic of cargo ships being thrown around like paperweights, another image showing how powerful the ocean is would be captured in October 2021 On this fateful day a bulk cargo shipping was heading along the North China Sea when it was hit by a massive typhoon, the typhoon had reportedly been recorded as a force 12 storm on the Beaufort scale. and if you listen carefully, you will really hear the signs. on the ship moving away as he is tossed from one side to the other.

I

wouldn

't want to be anyone on that ship that is surely number 7. A difficult day for the men of the Navy Almost all developed countries have a Navy and they do an admirable job. to keep their country's maritime border safe and free from threats and also help keep maritime criminals at bay, so if there is anyone who should know the dangers of the sea, it would be them in 2016, a warship that belonged to the Royal New Zealand Navy. Heading towards the Southern Ocean, the coldest and windiest of all the world's oceans, the ship was tasked with patrolling the area, but while they were meant to capture toothfish, the poachers, unbeknownst to Mother Nature, decided to give them a little excitement as the ship would be hit.

By massive waves the ship managed to make it out unharmed, but that was only because of how huge and well fortified it was, besides, are there really people who would take small boats and skiffs out to Crazy Waters like these just because they hope to catch something? I really hope people aren't as reckless as a number six aircraft carrier versus a typhoon, now it's one thing to see a ship or a surfer being swallowed by a wave, but it's completely different to see an entire aircraft carrier being hit by one, so to speak. . In context, planes and helicopters are big enough that you can imagine how big and stable an aircraft carrier would be.

However, when it comes to the power of the waves, everyone had to buckle up. Years ago, an aircraft carrier known as the USS Kitty Hawk. She was en route to the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan while moving through the North Pacific Ocean she encountered Typhoon Feng Shin, a massive typhoon with winds measuring 51 miles per hour and generating waves around 38 feet high. . This guy was cooking up a Sure Storm and by the looks of it, Kitty Hawk was passing through it despite measuring over 200 feet from her waterline to her highest point. Kitty Hawk proved up to the task, but you have to admit, she seems like a pretty impressive number. 15.

A giant wave crashes at the wedding. Your wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of your life. You want everything to go well so much that you are almost willing to do everything possible to make it happen. Nowadays, beach front weddings have started to become more common. Popular, the look and sound of ocean waves lapping the shoreline as you say your vows and the presence of the people you love are definitely unmatched in 2022. A couple getting married in Hawaii had the right idea when they decided to host a reception by the sea for their At the wedding everything seemed to be going well until Mother Nature decided to burst in and make her presence felt from the beginning, it was pretty obvious that this was not going to end very well and I think even the guests could recognize it.

Although despite their best efforts to reach a safe place, the waves showed no mercy to the place. The waves took almost everything away, the tables, the decor, the flower arrangements, you name it, but the cake reportedly survived, so I guess it wasn't quite a disaster. total loss number four Mike Parsons takes Jaws Beach Hawaii's Jaws Beach is one of the most popular beaches in the country, known for its huge waves. The beach has become a notable location for surfers and thrill seekers in 2008. Mike Parsons, a professional surfer, decided to take on. Jaws Beach alone, his idea was to find the biggest wave he could catch and then try to surf it.

Mike finally found a wave that measured around 64 feet and the race continued considering surf records weren't that prominent in the This time you would think he was just trying to get into the Guinness book, why else would he see a wave of 64 feet and would you like to ride it? In the heartbreaking footage, you can see Mike literally getting smaller and smaller as the wave rushes behind him. him despite his best efforts, although the wave eventually overtook him, but points for trying number three until the waves do us part, like I said before, weddings in Oceanside are really becoming a thing, but the problem is that the Ocean doesn't really play.

Anyone's rules, if you're having your wedding anywhere else you can easily control the procedures and make sure everyone complies, but try telling the waves not to poop at your party if they want to. This California couple learned their lesson the hard way either of them had. They said their vows and were looking to capture the beautiful moment by the ocean, but Mother Nature decided to make the ultimate photobomb and make sure it wasn't a pretty sight. He leaves the groom with a flotation device and then, with everything he has, swims for the bride. Viewing the event from a nearby hotel would be credited for the footage as well as the rescue, the person had reportedly notified lifeguards that the couple had been swept into the ocean and they were able to act quickly to save them from the fall.

In the water, unfortunately, the newlyweds were able to escape with only minor injuries. Are you looking to get married? Maybe you should reconsider the ocean wedding idea one last time. Number two bursts in without warning if you think having friends around who have just entered your house is annoying. Imagine how the people on board this ship must have felt in 2021. A ferry traveling on the Elbe River in northern Germany would encounter a huge wave that was up to no good. This was a period when the infamous storm Yelinia had been battering the coast of Germany. With winds up to 94 miles per hour, while many flights and long-distance ferry trips had been canceled due to the storm, these guys decided to press on and, boy did they make a mistake, the ferry had initially been traveling relatively comfortable and You could tell that even its passengers were not necessarily affected by the huge waves crashing in front of them, but suddenly the waves decided to invite themselves in.

According to the ferry operator, no one on the vehicle was hurt, so thank goodness, but still. Although it must have been an incredible shock for the passengers to see this, especially those in front of number one. In Rolling in the Deep, a chemical tanker truck was seen transporting goods around South Korea in December 2019 when it was hit by a series of

rogue

waves, it's almost impossible to tell if the captain was unprepared or if the ship's mechanics It wasn't quite right, but with the secession of waves hitting one after another, the tanker literally came so close to capsizing if you look at the angle of inclination on that One more hit and it may as well have been a good night, according to other reports, The ship tilted more than 40 degrees and, in addition, much of the equipment would be destroyed and the interior cabins look like a complete disaster.

It's all quite understandable considering the entire ship was almost capsized, the ship would eventually come to dock but would definitely have had to be parked for a while so proper repairs could be made. It was a great trip, don't you think, Mother? Nature can definitely be cruel sometimes and when traveling by sea it's safe to say you better abide by the rules of the waves or you might end up regretting a lot if you ever took a boat or a cruise, how did you do it? feel when you saw the waves, let me know all about it in the comments section below.
