Descripción
A violent storm on March 2nd, 2001, led the Caledonian Star into a sailor's nightmare. This video explains how monster waves or Rogue waves, like the one Captain Carl Urish Lamper faced, are formed by ocean currents and extreme weather. We explore scientific research from Tokyo's wave labs and real-world storms, including the mysterious disappearance of the Munchin and the Prestige disaster. Discover why these unpredictable giant waves (Rogue waves) are a constant threat to shipping, and how the "Devil's Sea" off Agashima Island earned its name.
