- Synopsis:
Ocean storms can appear with little warning when high winds howl across the seas and waves build to 50 feet or higher. When this happens even the largest ships can get into trouble and nothing and nobody is immune from monstrous waves. Ride along with Alaskan fisherman as they battle the deadliest winds in the world; the gap winds of the Bering Sea; be there when a British research ship goes in search of what was considered to be a nautical myth and then encounters freak ocean waves the like of which had never been measured before; discover how the Ocean Ranger, the world's biggest oil rig platform was pounded by waves and though it was thought to be indestructible, capsized with the loss of 84 men; watch in amazement the reconstruction of one of the most remarkable sea rescues ever undertaken during the Vendee Globe yacht race and discover why the lashing winds around the Cape Peninsular in South Africa have turned the coastline into a ship's graveyard. - Directors:
