This guy needs to get a life
This is a video posted online by an *** hole working on cruise ships. Apparently the Anthem of the Seas was hove to in 120 knot winds and 30 foot seas and this gadgey thinks they are all going to die!.
Why is it that ham shanks always have to appear with a baseball cap on their head but turned backwards. He should know that not only is it rude to wear a cap indoors but it is also unlucky.
'We're hoping not to die': Cruise ship packed with thousands of passengers hit by 30ft waves in "terrifying" footage

Brian we are talking about modern youth, never been anywhere, never done anything and at 16 their mothers were still seeing them across the road to school, so a little roll would be an exciting adventure, how would they fare on deck trying to lash a runaway derrick which had jumped out of its crutch, and yes it was properly clamped before leaving port, no doubt many on here have had the same experience

Re: This guy needs to get a life
On The SUEVIC lost three locomotives over the wall in the SW Monsoon, On Good Hope Castle lost 800 Drums of oil off the fore deck and one lad over the wall.
On EMPRESS OF FRANCE IT WAS ALWAYS DOING SOMERSAULTS.
