You know it's rough when . . .

Wouldn't want to be on it or anywhere near it.

Why would you not ballast the thing a little bit?
 
It appears to be both empty and aground. And a heluva painful ride for any aboard.
 
Recently came back from a Carribbean cruise on the Celebrity Equinox. Sees were 30'-35' crashing onto the windows on deck 3. Winds were strong enough to blow a person down to the deck. Even with stabilizers, the ship was rolling. A few people got seasick. Mother nature does what mother nature wants. Hy
 
You can barely see the swells/surf. They're not that big. Like sandy says, it's because it's aground that's causing the dramatic rolling.
 
Why would you not settle it on the bottom with ballast rather than let the hull get beat up bouncing around?
 
Wow, he really put the whip to it.
 
I wonder if it was either entering a shallow-approach port and/or final destination was drydock or wrecking yard to account for it's unusual bare-minimum draft condition in the video?
