- moletimer, on 02/16/2008, -3/+59That is so incredibly cool.
- Feep, on 02/16/2008, -2/+36Yeah, till you realize that this is merely the story of "Ship Gets ***** Owned" with the pictures rearranged.
- inactive, on 02/16/2008, -0/+29This is a better pic story. TUG BOAT goes under bridge:
http://mbnet.fi/~soldier/towboat.htm - karenben, on 02/16/2008, -2/+29This reminded me of "The Perfect Storm" movie.
- minnymoo, on 02/16/2008, -13/+40there was a ship, it survived a storm, the end.
- Flashman, on 02/16/2008, -2/+27Here's the story from earlier this year: http://www.surfersvillage.com/surfing/32053/news.h ...
"On Dec. 4, a Coast Guard crew on a training mission found out first hand just how treacherous Morro Bay can be. The crew's 47–foot rescue ship–a "Motor Life Boat" built to withstand the roughest surf–was out on a training exercise, jumping 12 to 15–foot waves, when it got slammed by a mammoth whitecap." - PerfektXj, on 02/16/2008, -1/+21mirror http://m3.bestpicever.com/piles/?s=throughwaves
- ep53, on 02/16/2008, -2/+16I was slammed by a mammoth whitecap, just last night.... :P
- lettruthout, on 02/16/2008, -2/+16My guess is Morro Bay California.
- funkyjunk3, on 02/16/2008, -1/+15Shoo spammer, shoo!! Git!
You bad omen. You go now... - everett3, on 02/16/2008, -0/+13yessir http://www.surfersvillage.com/surfing/32053/news.h ...

- brentinkc, on 02/16/2008, -1/+13Still floating?
- ineptsavant, on 02/16/2008, -3/+14thing might as well be a submarine
- DeathJux, on 02/16/2008, -2/+13/takes off turtle costume
I quit. - funkyjunk3, on 02/16/2008, -0/+11Yep, they're the 47s, and a very cool boat they are. This is Morro Bay, thoughl
- fxu1989, on 02/16/2008, -3/+13Buried for innaccuracy.
There was a boat, it survived a big wave, the end. - makkaveli19, on 02/16/2008, -6/+16bah i can do that with turtles strapped to my feet.
- makkaveli19, on 02/16/2008, -0/+10super-glue?
- funkyjunk3, on 02/16/2008, -1/+11http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_lifeboat#Modern ...
These are truely incredible machines. They're built from the ground up to be slick, fast and long-distance. They've got the most advanced marine technology out there, and they can roll with the waves, withstanding even the worst storm surges. - nospinhere, on 02/16/2008, -0/+9Actually it's Coast Guard training. They do it all the time at this location because of it's waves. I forgot the exact location, but I am sure some astute digger will help us out.
- piratesarefun, on 02/16/2008, -2/+11*obligatory joke about how the website is not "still standing" with a comment on the low number of diggs needed to take it down*
- ronpaulblogscom, on 02/16/2008, -2/+10I think I have whiplash from just watching that.
- mcprogrammer, on 02/16/2008, -1/+8This was a triumph!
- ep53, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7Down at 154 diggs.....Mirror anyone?
- DeskFlyer, on 02/16/2008, -2/+8Were these shot at Cape Disappointment by chance? That looks like a Coast Guard 47-MLB.
- mal1964, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7 I Think We Are Going to Need a Bigger Boat!
- PeTeRZz, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7Holy *****, it went completely vertical. How did the captain not fall out?
- tribble222, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7No, it's definitely shopped. I can tell by the pixels, and having seen a lot of 'shops in my time.
- Frost9999, on 02/16/2008, -0/+5Also it's 5 pictures, the first two are the same image, just cropped in a bit for the second one.
- vroom101, on 02/16/2008, -3/+7HUGE wave they wish would stand still -- then "melt" away!
http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/htmls/wea00800.htm - inactive, on 02/16/2008, -3/+7I'm certainly no fan of MrBabyMan; I only digg stories I find interesting, as I'm sure do most other diggers. Good for him that he submits great stuff.
- D3koy, on 02/16/2008, -8/+12***** with the system, or finding interesting things so that we all might learn something? There is a reason he's on the front page a lot....he submits some awesome stuff
- Greg2k, on 02/16/2008, -0/+3Hell of a lot better than 6,000 words, that's for sure
- jordn, on 02/16/2008, -0/+3those guys must have huge balls to steer their ship through that.
- Eiknujrac, on 02/16/2008, -5/+8Clearly Photoshopped. The reflections are all wrong.
- spyd3rweb, on 02/16/2008, -1/+4Clearly the server is not still standing.
- projectstartrek, on 02/16/2008, -0/+3Did anyone notice the page's title was 'CG?'
- kirakun, on 02/16/2008, -0/+3Somehow, as a metaphor of life, it was inspiring!
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -1/+3Duct tape FTW
- mimigins, on 02/16/2008, -1/+3The ship is a lie!
- jellygraph, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2the internet is also a good place to ignore the likes of you spammers
- dssstrkl, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2Actually, those Coastie boats are designed to be capsized and right themselves.
- yannicwalter, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2I guess fun to watch, but not so much fun, when you're actually in the ship.
- odganarb, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2If you are to be joining our ranks, I'd suggest you do away with your weed usage.
- ConeOfSilence, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2thats nuts
- odganarb, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2hey. they're coasties. get it right.

- sportbikepilot, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2not amazing... that is exactly what that boat is designed to do
- odganarb, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2the coxswain is strapped into a chair that's bolted to the deck.
