0:00You wouldn't last a day as a sailor .
0:02Doubt it ? Just look at this freighter .
0:04You can feel the ocean's terror right
0:06through your phone screen . Some people
0:08say they love the sea , but that's
0:10because they've never seen what it's
0:11really like . A normal storm kicks up 50
0:15- foot waves , like a five-story building
0:17, and extreme storms can create 100 -
0:20foot waves . A steel ship weighing
0:23hundreds of tons becomes a toy in the
0:25middle of all that . When a wave lifts
0:28the ship , sailors become weightless , as
0:31if on a plummeting rollercoaster . Then
0:34they're slammed back down , and it feels
0:36like their stomach was crushed by a
0:37hammer . If someone falls overboard ,
0:40only God can save them . And the bunk
0:43they sleep in for months at sea is
0:44harder and narrower than a train berth .
0:47When the sea gets rough , you just want
0:49to throw up . And your phone ? No signal .
0:51Video calling the family is nearly
0:53impossible . Scrolling through TikTok ?
0:55Forget about it . The truth is , even
0:57with a good salary , the sailor's life
0:59isn't for everyone . M.
