Fascinating look at massive waves hitting a boat

(CBS News) Where we showed you a fascinating story that involved the ocean earlier this week, let's go ahead and put our full focus on these bodies of water. More specifically, on the waves part of them. Even more specifically, on massive waves. See some of the biggest ones in the ocean above. And I'd recommend watching this one in high-definition if at all possible.

The mesmerizing footage showing different situations with waves was posted by very aptly named YouTube user Bigwavemaster1 who simply states in his description of the video:

Big Waves Hit Ship
Yes they did. (You can't argue with such a concise statement of fact.) And I don't know about you, but what's fascinating to think (among many things while watching) is the idea that once you manage to get the boat above these gigantic waves, the downhill looks a lot like a roller coaster. (And I imagine the sensation must be a mixture of terrifying and incredible each and every time.) Thank you for sharing this incredible perspective with us and the Internet, Bigwavemaster1!
