A violent storm on March 2nd, 2001, led the Caledonian Star into a sailor's nightmare. This video explains how monster waves, like the one Captain Carl Urish Lamper faced, are formed by ocean currents and extreme weather. We explore scientific research from Tokyo's wave labs and real-world storms, including the mysterious disappearance of the Munchin and the Prestige disaster. Discover why these unpredictable giant waves are a constant threat to shipping, and how the "Devil's Sea" off Agashima Island earned its name. #documentary #storm #catastrophe ---- Interesting links and sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Ship-sinking_monster_waves_revealed_by_ESA_satellites https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/biggest-waves-recorded-history-180952432/ ---- This channel offers you full episodes of high quality documentaries.

The stupid comments here are pathetic
Rouge Waves, well Thats the point in it, eh . they come out of ''Nowhere'' even in calm seas at night or day to devour you, he says, the [Japanese scientist ] they need to build new tech stuff new software to detect or new detection of potential rogue waves areas to avoid, well then since they can travel thousands of miles, before they raise up high out of the water and take out a lone container ship, yep thats a rogue wave.. init
An emergency Bluey? It’s called an emergency radio Beacon. What’s with this documentary monster waves instead of rogue waves and emergency Bowie instead of emergency radio beacons
Yes they mean Rogue waves lol Monster Waves it’s like the writer of this Docs script did zero research on this subject and just winged it without knowing any common nautical terms
Maybe I missed something, but I swear towards the end it said the wave hit at 5:31 am where they then lost power. But, later it says the storm had passed by 4 am. It never mentioned another day but that is surely possible.
AI,garbage,again.... Pronunciation,WRONG Factual information, WRONG Video representing narration, WRONG.... FailFail,FAIL...
This documentary misses the documentation and video evidence of a monster wave 🌊
Offshore windfarms. Oh Germany....
Internal waves can form between layers of different density caused by temperature or salinity. They’re generally undetected and not a problem. I retired from submarine service and was the assistant navigator on three boats. On one we took a rapid depth change of about 200 feet due to such a wave, fortunately in deep water. Internal waves of such size are not uncommon.
Anyone else eating monster munch whilst watching monster waves?
You could not pay me to ever go in a cruise ship.
Back just under fifty years ago while I was in graduate school we studied resonance theory. I’m sorry to say I can’t do this now, but it was apparent that any waves could negate others and summate others. So a rare wave of 30 meters was likely and short lived. To this day this is uncommon but happens more than most people know.
Thank you for eschewing AI
Not climate " change " its the sun and earths weakening magnetic field.
ai garbage
These German 'researchers' seem to ignore research proving the influence of the wind generators placed at sea to wind force, turbulence, moisture, etc. But its easier to blame CO2, or Vladimir Putin.
Well, that's weird. during hurricane Igor off the Grand Banks, the supply ship Burin Sea was there overwatch at the oil rig with 20 meter plus sustained seas off the Grand Banks. The night the Ocean Ranger went down there was a 100 foot rogue wave measured. Same at that time. Where the Andrea Gail went down, 100 foot waves, the trough of the waves they said were actually touching the bottom of the ocean.
I grew up sailing.The first time I saw a cruise ship (small by today's standards), I knew it wasn't sea worthy. I learned that giant gyroscopes keep cruise ships 'on an even keel' during heavy weather. That did not reassure me. What if the electrical systems were damaged? No cruise ship adventures for me! I love to go out on the sea in truly sea worthy ships. When I was 26, I crossed from Southampton, England to NYC on one of the smaller Cunard line ships. We passed through a violent 3-day "storm" (probably a nor'easter, in New England speak). The waves towered over the ship when it bottomed out in the wave troughs. I went to the stern and felt completely safe looking up through those huge emerald waves. At times I was weightless (admittedly, that wasn't a very smart place to be). I had the dining hall to myself for three days. 😆
Good documentary
Extremely tall Tsunamis and large deep sink holes is my #1& #2 most feared natural disaster phenomenons. Even over volcanoes, twisters, avalanches, forest fires and hurricanes. Because those two are almost un-survivalable IMO. But what the hell do I know!
