Interesting to see the way the people are being tossed around like rag dolls. Must have been pretty scary for them.

LOL! Cruiseship staff groping the passengers in the video. Those cruise lines hire felons and other riff raff.

If you want truly scary, go find the video from the storage/loading area in this same ship. A forklift is tossed about like a toy truck. It could have easily cut the guy in half or skewered him.

In my days aboard an Essex Class Carrier, we’d watch evening movies in Hangar Bay 1 sitting on folding chairs.

In heavy weather, we’d slip and slide port to starboard, and starboard to port ... didn’t interrupt the movie at all.

That brings back fond memories of life on board a US Navy destroyer as the lead Radar technician. The ship went through 15-20ft+ waves all night. The Radar room had broken coffee cups and books all over the floor in the morning. The only thing standing was a coffee cup with that anti-gravity stuff on it. There that cup was in the middle of the room on a table in defiance of all! I wanted to kick that thing off the table so bad because it belonged to a communications technician that left it in the Radar rooom.

No I do not. I accessed from survivalistboards.com where I am a member (under the same name), but you can find it on Youtube pretty easily I'd guess.

Near the end, it looks like when a man was kneeling down to help another man who was on the floor, a pile of tables, chairs etc crashed into them both. Wonder if they were ok
