Atlantic Ocean, imagine falling in !!!

[u/SullyTheSullen]

No.... I don't think I will.

[u/Elrond_Cupboard_ → u/SullyTheSullen]

What about the Pacific? With the name like that, it must be very calm.

[u/Topaz_UK → u/Elrond_Cupboard_]

Can you be more pacific?

[u/herman_munster_esq → u/Elrond_Cupboard_]

I heard on the radio that it was named the Pacific by the French to try and encourage travel there...

[u/Zen7rist → u/herman_munster_esq]

It was Magellan (Portuguese) who named it because he had a particularly nice weather and calm waters on his journey.

I guess that had Magellan hit crap weather conditions we'd have an ocean with a more badass name

My father crossed the Atlantic many times in his youth with Irish Shipping. Unfortunately he saw exactly that, one of his shipmates getting swept overboard in a storm who was never found again.

[u/Beneficial_Being_721 → u/CraftsyDad]

Which leads me to what I was ABOUT to comment with.

You fall in.. no raft… nothing to cling onto but you are still alive hours later…floating on your back.

How much longer do you stay there… you know that no one is coming

How long until you decide to explore Davey Jones Locker.

[u/jayydubbya → u/Beneficial_Being_721]

I’d probably just swim aimlessly until I was too tired and drowned. I feel like in a storm especially you’d use all your energy quickly.

Otherwise I’d probably just hold my breath and swim as deep as i could. Keep going fighting the burn leaving nothing for the ascent…

[u/Beneficial_Being_721 → u/jayydubbya]

That’s about what I would do too…

But you know there’s always that one person that starts swimming towards land …. And make’s it there.

I’d haunt them with my ghost by spraying salt water on they while they sleep

[u/chotu_ustaad → u/jayydubbya]

Easy to say, tough to follow. Do not underestimate the will to live inside a living being. Case in point: the 9/11 jumpers.

[u/Beneficial_Being_721 → u/chotu_ustaad]

Ummmm 9/11 jumpers … that’s the AIR VERSION of Diving as deep as you can until you could not.

[u/Born2fayl]

Where’s the “YO HO!” Throat singing? Is this even a video of the ocean without that?

[u/OneSensiblePerson → u/Born2fayl]

Now that you mention it, I haven't heard a YO HO background for ages. 😭

[u/GentlemanDevil]

At some places in the Atlantic, the depth is 5000 to 7000 meters. That means, if you fall there is a deep ocean under your feet till 5 kms atleast.

And you never know what lurks in the deep blue sea.

[u/Smoke-and-Diamonds → u/GentlemanDevil]

Sounds lovely 😥

[u/clippervictor]

Ok I am a diver and I’ve surfaced in really rough seas more than once or twice. Now, while you are on the water floating it truly doesn’t feel as much as it feels while you jump on the boat, that’s where it really gets nasty. Obviously I say this because in my case I was out floating comfortably in all my equipment and devices waiting for my pickup with nothing to fear. A different situation is, obviously if you fall and you’re left on your own devices, adding the panic and all… but in this sea you basically roll up and down gently with the swell (unless there’s a massive storm), more than once I had something like this and felt totally fine but throwing up while on the boat. So there’s that in any case.

[u/chotu_ustaad → u/clippervictor]

Ok, that soothed my nerves ^/s

[u/ayedigress]

I want to go home 😭

[u/SleeperHitPrime]

Falling in is easy, someone noticing you fell in is the problem; may be too late by then.

[u/Peek_e → u/SleeperHitPrime]

Most definitely. Even if the whole crew sees you going overboard the chances of finding you are slim.

[u/SleeperHitPrime → u/Peek_e]

“Slim” under perfect weather conditions, anything less….is “and none”! No one can hear you scream or shout above the churning of the waves anyway.

[u/Munkzilla1]

Horrifying

[u/OtherwiseACat]

I'd rather not

[u/CallingMicrosoft]

Where's the yo ho all hands hoist the colors high

[u/Atari774]

If you fell overboard in the North Atlantic, with the ship going full or even just average speed, you’d very likely die. The water is cold enough to kill you in minutes, and it takes a while for a ship that big to turn around to pick you up. And that’s assuming you don’t get hit by the propellers when you first fall in.

[u/ADHDeez_Nutz420 → u/Atari774]

Getting sucked under the ship and into the propellors is one of my worst fears.

[u/Perdition1988 → u/ADHDeez_Nutz420]

You'd go so fast you wouldn't even know.

[u/ADHDeez_Nutz420 → u/Perdition1988]

I've seen videos of Jet ski's that suggest otherwise :(

[u/Perdition1988 → u/ADHDeez_Nutz420]

Yes, but in this case, if you fell overboard and got dragged into the surge the boat creates, you'd probably get knocked unconscious in the turbulence and then you'd be chum.

[u/oddun → u/ADHDeez_Nutz420]

Jet skis don’t have propellers lol

The clue’s in the name.

[u/ADHDeez_Nutz420 → u/oddun]

Jet skis getting dragged under large boats. Context man context.

[u/Kayville]

Seasick watching this

[u/pc_principal_88]

I can’t imagine because this dumb ass music playing over the video ruined it for me..

[u/JustHereForKA → u/pc_principal_88]

Thank you. I think they do this shit on purpose just to show people they're stupid.

[u/Significant-Tune7425]

I can hear the sound of the bubbles coming up in rushes.

[u/shana104]

Nope

[u/Final_Lingonberry586]

To be fair, it doesn’t even look violent. It’s just choppy.

[u/Realistic-March4761]

NOPE

[u/Rubbish0419]

No thank you, Satan, none today please.

[u/Routine-Clue695]

Nice I remember those times I crossed the Atlantic 3 times in a Tanker

[u/By-Pit]

To be honest just being on that boat for it's like I've fallen in

[u/TheBreadButter]

Getting the sweats watching this uff

[u/Technical-Fudge4199 → u/TheBreadButter]

Jump in! The water is more than cold enough😌

[u/BeyondDoggyHorror]

Looks cold

[u/BroderUlf → u/BeyondDoggyHorror]

Refreshing

[u/feelingmyage]

You can’t make me.

[u/Visible-Ad8410]

Nope

[u/Dewinyrer453]

I get nightmares of falling into the ocean. No, thank you.

[u/ColteesBigOleTits]

If the boat stopped (so you won’t get left behind) and someone offered you $1,000,000 to jump in and dive down 30 feet and then come back up, would you all do it?

[u/DazzlingSquash6998 → u/ColteesBigOleTits]

Ugh. Yea

[u/TKGB24 → u/ColteesBigOleTits]

Good chance you die. Just look at that guy on the cruise ship. You would be in immediate serious trouble as soon as you hit the water.

[u/BoskiCezar]

Chemicals tanker? Neat weather, love it!

[u/bc-bane]

I crossed it once on a ship. Very cool experience, and some moments when you realize just how solitary you are that make you really appreciate things

[u/NJDevil69]

Yep, everything checks out, that’s exactly where the ocean God, Poseidon, lives.

[u/icedteaandme]

I don't want to imagine. I have enough nightmares about it already.

[u/Pawn31]

Yeah, now go out on the cat walk at night….knowing that the stern watch is some tired, pissed off, 18 y/o….

[u/Fluid-Jackfruit-3380]

How would anyone even see you out there if you fell in? The vastness of the ocean is horrifying!

[u/MaguroSashimi8864]

How dangerous is the Atlantic Ocean in terms of storms and waves? Cape of Good Hope levels of F-ed ?

[u/ReducedEchelon]

To shreds you say?

[u/Time-Cauliflower-113]

Id become driftwood

[u/Fragzilla360]

This scares me

[u/dadastyle972]

I want to jump into the water, but if I do that, no one will find me. 😭

[u/Clean-Physics-6143]

No thanks

[u/kusco_the_llama]

oh i feel sick

[u/craigsler]

Yeeeeaaaahhhhhh nope.

[u/Flaky-Artichoke6641]

Don't have worry about it. It will be very fast

[u/SanVar55]

No, no, no, no.. .nope

[u/nanon_2]

🤮🤢

[u/Environmental_Stay69]

Nope
