This one is incredible, the entire crew buggered off and left the passengers to die.

I can remember as a young apprentice doing some sea time on a Destroyer up in the North Pacific, right up the front at the pointy end under the gun was an area that was three decks high and open so around 40' high, as bored young men do we used to get down there in the really rough weather and as the front of the ship would rise and fall if you timed it perfectly you could jump up as the ship dropped and reach the ceiling to grab some of the fire mains or other pipework running along overhead, you could then hang there 40' up in the air like some kind of superhero, you then had to time letting go just as perfectly so that you had a gentle drop and met the deck below as it was coming up again, time it wrong and you'd be looking at a fall similar to that from a 4th/5th floor window!!!!! We got a bking pretty soon after that and the area got put out of bounds during rough weather

Brings it home when you realise the guy at 1:22 at the table in the foreground is trying to protect his kid by hiding him under it.
