1. That was so boring

The crew could have at least screamed or even capsized the ship for our viewing pleasure. I am going to write an angry letter to that captain!

2. At least they could have had a more dramatic camera angle. nt

4. Now, THAT's what I am talking about.!!!

Boy the captain of this ship is going to feel silly once I send him this clip. Maybe he will think long and hard about what his YouTube video looks like the next time his ship goes through a tsunami.

11. GOOD GRIEF

Yeah, ok, so I don't know how deep the water actually is there, but that was pretty gnarly, assuming deep ocean. Normally you don't see much of anything on the open seas, until the shallows drive the energy of the wave upwards.
