See QM2 Push Through Force 12 (That Cruise Ships Flee)
Most cruise ships flee when Force 12 storms hit the North Atlantic: Queen Mary 2 was built to push right through them. Watch QM2 punch directly through massive 9 m [30 ft] seas during an extreme transatlantic crossing. While modern cruise ships reroute to avoid severe weather, QM2 relies on her ocean liner design, heavy steel hull, and deep draft to handle conditions that would ground other vessels. To celebrate reaching 50,000 subscribers, this special feature takes a close look at the last true ocean liner operating in extreme ocean conditions. Thank you to every single one of you for helping hit the 50,000 subscriber milestone. Your support keeps this channel running.
