First scene was funny seeing all the people sliding everywhere. The second scene, that was scary seeing the fork loft trucks sliding, that guy got out just in time!

Holy crap. That explains the mystery of some big ships vanishing without trace.

I liked the room at the back on the right, where people looked like they where just sat with their lunch.

[tatters]

Not very good leaving heavy equipment like fork lifts not strapped down while at sea and lockers not bolted to the deck l,m surprised no one was killed.

|I wonder if something was wrong with the stabilising.
It must have been close to going over I would've thought, they aren't really designed to cope with extreme rolling like that.

[Kickstart]

Hi

Searching round looking for the ships name it appears that the severe rolling happened when they were trying to turn the bow into the waves caused by a storm.

3 people hospitalised (comment suggested the worst injuries were when fruit machines tipped onto people) and something like 70 injured.

All the best

Begs the question why wasn't everything except the chair nailed down really doesn't it? That kind of weather doesn't just sneak up on people.

Bugger me. That looked fun.

Imagine if you had a padded warehouse and you was wearing one of those roller suits.

Surely that can't have lasted anymore than a few minutes as the ship turned into the waves.

Cool vid.

How do these commercial liners prepare for situations like this? I'd of thought having the furniture nailed down would of been some sort of health & safety reg like Mooney said, also some kind of safety grab rail around the ship instead of just clinging onto something random.

[warped one]

They usually have massive stabilising fins that keep the ship to within 5deg (IIRC) They move up and down and swivel to direct the flow of water. They started out with just 2 at the front then worked their way up as the ships got bigger.
Now they use thrusters as they are more controllable and have alot more power.

In Victorian times they were experimenting with Gimble ships where the whole inside of the ship was free floating on rollers with a massive counter weight underneath to apparently keep it upright and perfectly level. Alas on the sea trials the ship proved to be totally uncontrollable and crashed into a peir and sank.
Thats from memory so not sure on whats correct or not.

So here's a link

I wonder what the car deck looked like after that.

[Tonka]

I did a rather hysterical LOL as Rod sang 'I am dying'

That is pretty much my idea of hell and just to think that I had a conversation last week and had almost been talked into considering a cruise, as apparently 'they are all stabilised these days'..............NOT!!
