Little known fact: As a result of this incident, shipyards stopped constructing cruise ships out of explodium.
-
I’m a Crew ship Officer and this is very rare for this to happen. Also this is a movie but in real life if they see something like a small wave getting bigger we immediately sound the alarm’s. Safe Sailing!
-
I’m a Cruise Ship Captain First Class and this is something we are actually trained for. It’s called a ‘catastrophic capsizing’ and the loss of life is predicted to be 90%
-
The shot of the rogue wave blocking out the moon is legitimately horrifying
-
Just imagine if you're on a cruise ship and you see a fucking wave starting to block out the moon from a distance.
-
daily fun fact: if you see a massive wave to your port side, fill your port side tanks. All modern cruise ships have tanks on the ship that can fill to prevent this from happening
-
I feel very bad for the chefs, they were just trying to make the new year's party good for everyone!
-
the really scary thing about rogue waves is that you probably won't see them coming until one is seconds away from impact
-
This was pretty much 2020 coming at us after New Year’s
-
They would instantly utilize the bow thrusters in real life and the ship would turn in time.
-
Despite having never seen this movie, I've had a reoccurring nightmare a few times about being hit by a massive wave that felt like this size in a wave pool.

Richard Dreyfus at 0:54 "first a giant shark, now a giant wave! What's next, prehistoric piranha?!?"
-
I love how the ship partially righted itself so we could see the explosion clearly! How nice of it!
-
Poseidon: "My Party Boat!" Tsunami: "OUR party boat."

I've seen this movie in the cinema when I was kid 🥺 my father was almost sleeping but I loved it...
-
Important point for all skippers: If you're heading forwards, increase forward speed to turn faster. Also, if you're side on to a wave, maybe try turning away from it so you can maybe surf it, or at least lessen the relative impact when it reaches you.

I didn't think this was that good when it first came out, as I am huge fan of the original, but it has grown on me a lot, this scene is very well done. Although even this is 15 years old now! The original still holds it for me though...the screenplay, the acting and .the John Williams score...

Nah fam. This and Titanic are the reasons for me never going on a cruise ship lol
-
This almost happened with one of the British liners during WW2. At the time, there was 12k people on board, soldiers who sailed towards America. The ship was 3 degrees tilt away from the point of no return.

This was one of my fears when my parents went on their cruise. I made it a point to call them once a day at the same time each day.
