Class-1 Offshore Crash Great video

This is the crash with the Spirit of Norway. It happened a long time ago, I tried finding the video before but had no luck. Anyways, I found it so enjoy. It's a pretty spectacular crash, everyone on the boat was ok. There is amazing cockpit footage of the accident.

Great video. They got lucky as the drag reduced most of the kinetic energy. Seems to have lifted off when he got in the turbulence zone caused by the first boat.

I never realized those boats sound like indy cars on the water... Crazy video.

Holy schmoly. They were really lucky that the boat stayed up in the air for so long it really slowed down to almost a dead stop before it hit the water again. I'd be saying the same thing as the driver... "At least we're up the right way"

Thanks for posting!
