We are all familiar with the way of how ships are constructed. But have you ever asked yourself how do they launch them in the waters? This ship launch compilation will supply the answer. Not only this action is very risky, it can be satisfying and surprisingly soothing to watch. The ships are placed on a construction which is slightly tilted and the ship is secured with the help of ropes. When these ropes are released the ship slides across the construction until it finally hits the water, creating a big splash and huge waves. It then continues to wobble left and right until is finally settled.
This ship launch compilation has some terrifying footage to watch. On one video there are people under the constriction and while the ship slides down, the men are lucky to escape under it. On a different video we can see that the wave created by the ship is so big, that it completely submerges the bank where most people came to follow the launch. There is a ship that is launched in a tight area and there is a road right next to it, which the wave floods it. What do you think, do you find this compilation satisfying or terrifying?
