Bring your barf bags and crutches!



Shocking video footage of a P&O cruise caught in severe storms that left 42
people injured has been published online.

The Australian Pacific Sun cruise liner was around 400miles from the coast
of New Zealand when giant waves hit the boat causing it to list violently.

And as the ship struggles in the high seas, staff and guests are sent flying
backwards and forwards, trying to grab on to anything nailed down - and
failing.

The waves were so powerful that they lashed as high as the fifth deck. The
receptionists are shown clinging on to their desks and computers before the
more severe waves hit the liner. But soon they, and the guests, are sent
careering across the floor like rag dolls, helpless and out-of-control.

The Pacific Sun was on the return leg of an eight-night sailing to the Islands
of Vanuatu when the storm hit. Diners were sitting down for their evening
meal shortly after dark...one described the scene as 'like being in a disaster
movie'.
