Video footage of fishing ship hit by rogue wave. (They survived)
"Rogue waves" aka Freak Waves (2 x bigger than the mean of the largest third of waves in a wave record) have been long rumoured in maritime folklore but not scientifically measured until 1995 when one hit the Draupner Platform in the North Sea.
As their name suggests, rogue/freak waves appear randomly and there is no clear understanding of their cause and no way of predicting their occurrence. Researchers (and the media) have raised the possibility of rogue waves being responsible for many unexplained disappearences of ships at sea.
