[LiberalArkie]

This footage from a ship in Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica, is a good reminder that going into rough seas is not for the faint of heart.

1. Jeez! Batten down the hatches!

2. I don't think I'd be giggling

if I was on that ship. Any ship can be sunk.

3. Judging by the deck guns, I would imagine that sucker is built to be underwater and to pop

right back up. Maybe Australian navy or such.

4. still

my point, don't laugh at the sea!

5. There is giggling because you think it funny, and giggling that you are about to die.

Having been in similar setting I suspect that was a mixture of both.

The emotions get weird, and you train to reduce their influence, but when you are faced with something that awesome it can still come out.

See the world.

6. I was on a ship like that

on the back end of a typhoon near Guam. Gives you a lot of respect for the sea,
