  The crew of the ship breaking up sound surprisingly calm, just quite irritated by events rather than scared shipless

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NASKaDOkARA&amp;t=335">5:35</a> They are fully aware of the wave, we can see black smoke coming out of their funnels, they&apos;re going full throttle toward the wave because it&apos;s the safest way to deal with a tsunami so close to the shore.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NASKaDOkARA&amp;t=337">5:37</a> “probably completely unaware of the massive waves headed in their direction.”<br>Give that crew their due. They knew full well what was happening and what their captain was attempting. &nbsp;Japan is probably the most Tsunami educated country on the planet. &nbsp;The boats were trying to make it out into open water past the point where the waves brake so that they might ride over it similarly to some of the other ships in the video.

  I love the image of two huge cargo ships plowing into eachother then stopping in the middle of the ocean so the captains can exchange insurance information.

  The bulk carrier that broke up in a storm on the Black Sea was designed for use on rivers not the open sea !

  Black smoke happen when you give full throttle on diesel engines. the Turbochargers need time to increase speed to give enough air to the engines.

  That’s not from the boat ramming it, that’s the exhaust from the diesel engines at full power <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NASKaDOkARA&amp;t=84">1:24</a>

  Love watching the ice breakers at work. <br>Years ago, somewhere between 1988-1991 i worked on the <br>JW Westcott Detroit River Mailboat as a deckhand. It was end of season in December and we were headed up between Belle Isle and the mainland for winter dry dock storage and repairs. Capt Jim was at the wheel when we passed the Belle Isle bridge. The water is not very deep there and we were headed thru a sheet of ice, probably about 4 inches thick on average. The 45 foot tug powered by a Detroit 6-71 was holding its own as Capt would run it wide open, up onto the ice sheet, then wait one thousand one one thousand two...until the boat dropped thru the ice whilel clearing our way. Then it was back up, forward wide open and do it again! We broke ice for about a nail biting hour straight till we finally made it to the slip entrance... here is where old age kicks in...i cannot remember the name of that dry dock to save my tail. Expect to see an edit to this comment later when the name comes to me. We did have a late lunch at the Rooster tail once the Westcott was completely out of the water, but this place was close by yet not within the Rooster Tail grounds. <br>Being part of the Westcott team back then was a positive experience which i will never forget. Im so thankful for that opportunity to be part of Detroit River history and take it all in with my senses. Good times for sure.<br>Edit : Gregory Marina, Detroit Mi. <br>Knew it would come to be but took awhile. The Westcott Company and family behind the name had an excellent, years long professional relationship with those behind Gregory Marina. As a deckhand with a seasonal job, it was a bonus to be able to work on the boat during winter layup. I remember scraping and grinding and sanding, etc then around late January fresh new paint started going down. By spring that boat alwaya looked like a million dollars when ready to ship out for each new season!

  Those fishing boats are every aware of the tsunamis, they’re just trying to get to the ocean quicker as then they avoid the waves.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NASKaDOkARA&amp;t=377">6:17</a>. It’s a hydrofoil boat. They’re made to be able to rise out of the water.
