The dude who surf through that huge wave is an absolute legend
Point Break
Patricia Patton factsss 😂😂😂
I guess he was going for a normal ride but it got bigger and bigger and good he kept his pace and didn't panic
That looks like Nazare Portugal, the waves are huge there. To surf them you need a tow in with a jet ski. Really cool to watch.
"The dude who surfed through the huge wave "was" an absolute legend" I dont believe that man is alive.
That one guy that was surfing the big wave when it crashed and was still on, is actually a legend
Fr he really said "it is what it is"😂❤
Did he survive si he alive ?
That guy imagine how would he be fwllin why isnt this ending why am i nit going down 😂(;_;) that was scary !
Hell yeah
Unreal like a boss
I'd love to hear from a captain how it feels to sail through an 100ft wave. Incredible.
Hey, how are you? lets make friendship
You did. He chuckled.
Bro was laughing on the outside but on the inside he was petrified💀
He’ll probably tell you his sphincter was so tight a team of mules couldn’t pull a needle out of it.
Have you ever been down a demon drop, or been on a rollercoaster? You feel it pulling you up when it goes up, then you free fall on the way down.

Wel yeah it can also rain on the sea you know
@@ArchitectOfTheEnd :o
Some people say he's laughing because he enjoys it, but uncontrollable laughter is actually a common reaction when in fear of death. I forgot which article I read about this, but when you can't do anything but watch in a terrible situation, you tend to laugh. That's why some people also start to laugh while or after crying, desperate states of mind trigger some kind of contrary reaction. Sorry for my English, it's not my mothertongue
You re right
True, and when you make it through that situation you feel good, and accomplished, which makes you laugh more.

For everyone's information, the tsunami wave that the Japanese ship rode through was the wave of 3.11 Great East Japan earthquake which had a magnitude of 9.0, the biggest earthquake ever recorded in Japan. Over 20000 people perished in this tsunami and fires that followed. Considering this significance, there's no doubt that this one gets number 1 on the list.
Wrong the Thailand tsunami in 2004 killed over 200,000 people. That was the most devastating tsunami in terms of lives lost.
Am I the only one who gets MASSIVE anxiety watching this!? I mean, it's still cool though
The dude on the ship laughing after going over the 100 foot wave is a legend too 😂😂😂
Why did he say 20 seconds to go
For professional sailors these waves are pretty common. That's why you hear people laughing and they are filming it. That's also why the title is "caught on camera". If sailors fear for their lifes, they won't take out a camera. (Actually that goes for anyone in any situation). Or they do, underestimating the situation, but the footage gets lost due to being on the bottom on the ocean. There are 40 meter waves out there that will sink almost any ship. (changed height from 100 to 40 meters)
@@hemelinger7792 the largest one ever recorded was 100 feet. that's 30 meters and that was after a major earthquake. the only times you'll see 100 meters is if an asteroid hits earth.
@@chrismccabe1795 you are right the number is wrong. It was most likely 100 feet, where I got the info, not meters. Changed it to 40 meters, which is the size it can reach according Wikipedia. Btw, Tsunami waves get higher when reaching the coast, but that were not the ones, I was writing about.
Agree. I wondered if a cpl laughs on diff vids were "scared nervous" laughs?
And imagine old sailors back in the old days with wooden boats. Yikes
The men were made of steel and the ships were wooden.
We still have wooden boats
I can imagine Viking voyages travelling across the Atlantic to Iceland in these storms 😮

All to remind us just how small we really are!!!
The ocean is such an amazing beautiful part of our land. Also such a powerful deadly part too. It's unbelievable how something so beautiful and incredible could be such a devastating thing
How to survive natural disasters Be the camera man
jasman lasta true so true

The wave is not brave enough to hit the cameraman
Not always, there are plenty of videos showing the last moments of people who didn't realise they were filming their own deaths.

Tsunamis are insane, it’s like the entire horizon just comes barreling towards you

And suddenly, everything is ocean.. Imagine being a survivor and having to rebuild after that. I'm sure they're still rebuilding today, from damage almost a decade ago. (Japan, 2011)
Yes luckily Florida doesn’t have tsunamis, Nature can be beautiful but super scary,
michael kelley These are waves not tsunamis these are small compared to real tsunamis
*read in Russian accent* In Arizona, we don't have horizons, we have mountain ranges
Wow, this footage is incredible! Props to all of you for the amazing editing and the soundtrack. I actually noticed how perfect it was and how it seamlessly it enhanced the video itself.
I love the feeling of being in a boat and feeling it being tossed around. Thank goodness I have never felt seasick. Forty years ago and more I remember being on the ferry to Ireland and my sister and I would run down the corridors being flung from side to side, and there would be sick washing around the public toilets but there was a sill that stopped it coming out into the corridors. When we were in our cabin we used to get tossed from side to side in our bunks and my Dad would put the plug in the sink to stop stuff gurgling up. I think the newer ferries are much bigger and more stable, and I probably would be scared now rather than exhilarated!
I’m afraid of big waves, tsunamis, not seeing what’s in the water and drowning. Why am I watching this
Dude I think pretty much everyone is scared of those things, you come to grow and realise your fears are a normal human reaction to these things, some people push past this fear for various reasons if you want to surf you have to over come this or work on a boat etc etc but equally you don't have to if you don't need to, it's healthy and wise to fear the ocean it will swallow you up in the blink of an eye and you will probably be lost to it forever
do you have phobia like me? thalasophobia
I have no idea
Same
DJiMMa not all people have that fear. everyone might have a little bit of it but like me some might have a huge fear and anxiety
IDK why I'm watching this tsunamis are like my biggest fear

Imagine the thousands of people who were never accounted for in these waters....yoh💔
Starting at 9 minutes I started having very intense memories of the ocean looking like that, and a flash of a memory of that dark blue color of the waves with bright white (like on the front of the ship there) and an under water memory with a large black X under the water.. a flash of deep blue but clear water from underneath as if I'm submerged looking up.. I have never been out at sea and I have no clue where these memories are coming from but they're surprisingly vivid and the feeling is peaceful and quiet but having unknown memories is spooky..
I was born scared to death of water with memories of drowning. My parents and their friends still remember me telling the story when they all thought I was too young to have made it up. The memories are gone now but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a certain image or sound or smell that could bring them back. Was the black X on the bottom of a ship?
Respect to designers and engineers who they created this strong ships which those can resistance against this supermassive waves and also the brave people who riding the ships and just laughing .👍👍👏👏

I love those crazy big waves 🔥🔥👌
It always seems like real sailors laugh in the face of massive waves. You see it in multiple videos of sailors and waves. I guess when you have that saltwater in your blood, you just have to laugh because you KNOW you're making it through just fine. Such an amazing relationship sailors have with the sea
Sexymovei
Thyri Carver it’s all you can do to laugh while holding on for dear life. Navy life was crazy sometimes.
Their ships are built for those types of waves. So they don’t worry cause they know the ship can take it
No ship today is able to handle the pressure from the biggest rogue wave that was ever recorded. And when you are in risk but can't do anything but to watch, you tend to just laugh in a fear and unknown results that might appear seconds later.
He didn’t laugh until he’d survived. Release of nervous tension
Theres a Croatian coast saying that says, if a man doesnt know how to pray, send him to the sea
I am from Croatia ❤

I get it
Same thing (the praying thing) happened to me, but on a mountain
So soothing to watch..
Those guys laughing be like: AHAHAA 😂we’re all gonna die.

This is why I only swim in pools
You wont like it if you experience an earthquake while you are in a swimming pool. Traumatic experience.

The reason why I dont get on ships, except for short trips like from Europe to Britain maybe. You can also get seasick for days with no real medical help.
Me too

Real power and beauty, nature. The surfer in the 'curl,' WOW!
This is the biggest wave existing in nature God - Hold my blessing
Imagine, dying just like that. Alone...just vanishing into darkness

Better than being eaten or burnt alive.

@Azariah Beliah ...they survived ?? Are you sure. ? We only know the ones who survived ( RIP for the others)
Coz they studied under street light.
Lol I like how in the first one the woman in the chair doesn’t even acknowledge the huge waves
Yeah metoo
Mother nature doing her best
This is why sailors are made of 100% solid state BRAVE!
When I see that clip of Japanese sailors going over the Tsunami, I get goosebumps... Also, It's a bit sad. They probably realized what would happen when that massive thing hit land and their families and friends are still there..
Krasane sounded like they were in a panic to tell mainland
That's probably the best place to be... When a tsunami Is not big and sail over it
Tsunami is dangerous for coast mot for seas
my stomach dropped
I bet your stomach didn’t drop as much as the drop after they passed the tsunami wave
I cant imagine gently rolling over the top of a tsunami, this seemingly harmless wave in the open ocean thats inevitably going to kill hundreds of people when it hits shore...
Actual Dinosaur well, in fact, huge waves can actually sink huge ships. Mother nature is crazy.
They say tsunamis are pretty ok to deal with at open water. Go search freak waves.
The one in Indonesia killed over 500,000
@John Lorton Yeah, that's exactly what the guy you replied to was saying. What's your point?
Actual Dinosaur tsunamis don’t get big until they’re near shore. They ride the bottom of the ocean like a burst of energy. The waves in the middle of the ocean are on the surface.
I really love the way ships built over the centuries so they can resist such forces from big waves
It's insane how people of ancient times sailed anyway
Anyone else really scared of large bodies of water but still watching this
I'm also scared but still watching lol
@@Itz_cjay01 me too

#2 was magnificent. And that surfer is legendary.
Video of those massive waves going over the top of a ship is something I got lucky enough to experience a board the West Star (404 foot long) cruise ship. Less than one day out the icebergs started to move haphazardly during our Seward to Vancouver cruise. With 90% of the ship seasick (weak tea and soda water was my diet), I spent hours in the cocktail lounge above the bridge while massive waves broke over the top of the ship. Calling it exciting is an understatement. When you’re in that type of situation, that’s when you learn just how powerful the ocean really is. Now I just wish I could do it all over again :-)
I don't really like to swim in waters way above my head, even with darker waters where I can't see what's on the bottom of it. It terrifies me feels like something will grab me in to the deep.
Colleen Acosta me too
I’m a good swimmer but I’d never go in the deepest part of the ocean, like cthulu could literally just grab you or worse, could be anywhere around you, looking at you, and your just swimming not able to see that far.
Caryl Juleyn Mangalos but nothing will do don’t worry. In very rare cases, the worst thing that can happen is getting attacked by a shark. But a shark only usually attacks if you panic too much. So if you keep calm in the ocean, there’s 99% chance you won’t get attacked by something
Its called thalassophobia
Same here 😂
the scariest ones are the cargo ship ones, because you know they’re in the middle of the ocean
What's craziest tho is that they resist all of it😱
They get through that shit man
Imagine that at night
Modern ships are actually really safe, you can't sink your ship unless you manage to breach the hull, which is nigh impossible to do in the middle of the ocean during peaceful times. Ships are not made of the same metal as cars, they're very, VERY hardy. Plus, they stay afloat because the compartments beneath the deck that are filled with air and keep the ship above water are watertight, and you can't flood them easily. MORE OVER, most cargo ships have more than one compartment that are divided by watertight barriers, so even if one compartment floods, the ship will still stay afloat. These things are fascinating and way, way safer than cars.
You're right. The ocean is fucking terrifying
Oh I forgot to mention, waves were breaking over the top of the ship for over three days solid. The power of the ocean and the waves this huge must be experienced in person. Video alone cannot convey the somewhat dangerous massive waves and how you feel sudden stops that makes you feel like you’re standing still. Best cruise of my life.
