Cruise liner Pacific Sun had ran into a terrible storm last year on August 1st almost 400 miles north of New Zealand. The video shows consequences of intense rolling and pitching inside the cruise ship when the storm struck the luxury liner.
It’s clearly visible from the video that people inside the cruise ship were totally unprepared for the storm.
At least 42 people were injured with broken ribs & limbs, fractured pelvis, broken collar bone, and cuts and gashes. The ship was carrying 1732 passengers and 671 crew members.
The video might seem funny to watch; however, it shows how helpless one becomes under the forces of nature, in spite of being on one of the most finest and luxurious ships in the world.
Watch the video:
