10:46 That, looks terrifying. Being locked in an enclosed space on a ship in the ocean.

For her to say the Titanic was super a very accurate reenactment makes the distater so much scarier
@choverov
Hello, naval engineer here. Please, bring this lady more often to the channel. I really enjoyed it, she explains everything very very well.
@LITTLE1994
So awesome to hear this from an ACTUAL Captain. We don't get this very often.
@johnniemiec3286
A note about the air pockets she mentioned... after the Pearl Harbor attacks when work was being done to drain and refloat the USS West Virginia, the bodies of three sailors were found in a room by salvage crews with food and fresh water. There were marks on the bulkhead wall indicating they had made it 16 days until air ran out.

Wendy was amazing! Kudos for finding so many interesting and talented people from every corner of society, and making them react to our favorite movies :)
@TopHatTITAN
The Poseidon was less of a purpose built cruise ship and more of a conversion. She was an ocean liner planned to be scrapped after the voyage when she was struck by the tsunami. The movie also made it clear that the ship was top heavy and the captain intended to take on ballast, but the cruise director overruled his request. Granted, the original book had specified the wave as a rogue wave.
@fabiendalmasso
If I remember correctly, the Poseidon adventure was inspired by a real event that happened to the RMS Queen Mary, which actually got hit by a rogue wave. It caused heavy damages and caused the ship to list dangerously, but in the end it took balance back and was able to go back to port. An italian liner was involved in a similar incident that destroyed a good part of the bridge, but it did not capsized either.

Great video! She mentioned that the Titanic didn’t know that there was ice, but they had actually received multiple warnings about an ice field, which included the fateful iceberg. Other ships in close proximity to the ice field slowed down, but the Titanic went full steam ahead into that ice field.
@Youngstown529
I love how she's like, "nah, this is just dumb"
@ZanHecht
Surprised she didn't mention the Carnival Triumph "poop cruise", which happened less than a year after that Simpsons episode aired.

Her: I'm Captain Wendy Williams Me: 💅Ahoooy ya doing💅
@amyhull754
It was so fun to hear her say that the disaster films were fun and exciting and enjoyable...but not real. I loved her using the term "turn turtle." This was a real joy. I hope we see Captain Williams again.
@TheBattleMaster100
Congratulations Ms. Williams on your Captain's post!
@TrickiVicBB71
I was surprised and happy they covered Deep Rising. Really good horror/action movie
@BigBear--
Key take away...only go on cruises in areas of calm waters. Also, avoid hurricane season. Also, don't try and sneak into the crew areas, and/or the crew bar to try to party with the crew. You will be caught eventually (ask me how I know...). Though it might be worth it, cause the best party on a cruise is at the crew bar, apparently.

The Noro Virus is no joke. We had a premie baby in 2012, and he was in the NICU for 8 weeks, which means we were there for 8 weeks. I caught the virus at the hospital and it nearly killed me. I lost 40 pounds, about 20 too much. Still dealing with the damage almost 12 years later.
@whillard2447
It would have been good to clear the difference between a cruise ship (ships from nowadays that are purely for pleasure) and an ocean liner (older ships that existed before the planes and that were the only method to get to the USA or across any ocean, like the Titanic is)
