Very interesting and scary as hell. This was a very good special on rogue waves. They really are frightening. How scary was the story about the Norweigian Dawn getting hit by one? They said it sounded like the ship was coming apart and the wave came in pretty calm seas. The first Queen Mary went over to almost 45 degrees I think they said and was just about to capsize. Also i waited the whole show to hear about the QE2 and Captain Warrick talk about its encounter of a rogue wave in 1995 but nothing on it at all. I was quite surprised there wasn't anything on the incident and quite surprised they didn't have an interview with Captain Warrick. He would have been a great person to interview because he would have explained what happened very eloquently. Also his story when i read about was scary enough I would imagine his first hand in person telling of the story is even better. Has anyone ever seen Captain Warrick tell the story on TV or DVD or something? Thanks JC
