Batten down the hatches is a well know saying for a reason.

A rogue wave (the bridge crew maybe saw it bearing down on them 10~20 secs before it hit and they wouldn't have known the full consequences) broke the bridge windows allowing water into the bridge this water got into the controls and switched power off to the stabilizers etc. This allowed the ship to roll in the heavy seas rather than allow the stabilizers to do their job of keeping the ship stable. It has to be accepted that every now and then circumstances will conspire to effect the outcome in a way that humans can't counter. |

It's quite a large ocean, with not a lot of places to run to when the frequent, sudden storms show up. The cruise ship involved was actually heading for a port, but didn't quite make it, and was in the process of turning into the waves, which had changed direction, when it broached, resulting in the incidents in the video. It was actually quite big news in Australia at the time, as it is an Australian-registered ship/company, and was in the news again this week when the CCTV footage here was released. There were no major injuries. More information at http://www.maib.gov.uk/cms_resources...Sun_Report.pdf Mike |

No it was real, I have now seen the full story and the daft beggers made a turn in heavy weather without alerting everyone, ship got hit by one wave that somehow disbled the stabilizers and over she rolled, they may have had no warning about the wave but they sure as hell knew they were going to alter course, I am very surprised they were not heavily sued by some of the injured -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
