Getting seasick watching this ?

Where does God go when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

How does the oil pipe stay hooked up?

Mark Wahlberg was great in this movie

Given the choice, I choose to work on the rig that the camera is on
kentacova225
If everyone on that rig isn’t seasick I’d be shocked!! That’s a type of oil platform, without seeing the substructure I can’t nail it.

Wtf am I looking at?

i thought those rigs were anchored to the ground ..wow and hell no

Imgur is better than its ever been atm
ICrapped
Shit if Im on that thing, if I make it next heli can take me home I’m going to apply at Pets Smart to wash dogs.
Dakksys
The real one, or this horribly distorted video?
leepupjax
Is it a Weeble?

in 4k would be awesome
JohnStaintMcgoodbody
Simply breath taking, would love to be on that thing smoking a corncob pipe screaming "THAR SHE BLOWS"!!
idontwanttosignin
Who the fuck was the first person to look for oil down there
BitchButcher
Nice NSFW video!
PeterGibbons72
So....their data center is on oil rig? ?
umbabrahattasil
I wish people would post the non distorted original. This is warped to hell yo make it look scarier.
Dakksys
Which is why people post the distorted one for more points.
smadge1
I can’t even upload right now...

Sorry, meant to add "For anyone curious about the original"
Dakksys
So instead of super stretched you did super speed?
Eldricht
Oops, guess so. I just grabbed one off imgur that wasn't stretched. I didn't watch the speed.
loth1c
that looks better

OP is clearly fake, you can see the distortion of the image. It's flipped from this too.
onthe6ball
it's an MSM version of a normal situation.
SixxSpades
It's pretty evident that the OP is stretched vertically and flipped horizontally.
andiworkinabuttonfactory
This looks way safer. Still scary
Dakksys
Now do it in a small boat. "North Atlantic Fisherman" is how you say "Fucking insane" in my book.
usernamemustbe4characterslonng
Those fisherman are made entirely of steel balls.
Dakksys
Which probably doesn't help when they go overboard.
pyr666
where the hell is this being filmed from that they have such a steady shot?
TicoMachi
Could be from this https://youtu.be/ULvLeK9O7fY just a guess though.
CrazyCatLad
I still wouldn't join a research venture to the rig because crewmen were hearing strange noises resonating from the ocean subsurface.
DookieHowserMD
Downvotes? You don’t want to know about weird sounds from the deep??
CrazyCatLad
I've seen enough movies to know most of the team will die!
Daeyelle
That’s why I’d want to go for a research venture
SCHRAMB0
Anyone have the know-hows into how it flexes but remains in position?
cravenmoorhead
its bendy
maskedrabbit
Many of them actually float and are secured with cables. https://images.app.goo.gl/RwXKKsaV1wFf7wLD8
rooftopkorean42992
Do they ever sink?

You da real MVP.
horseheadfleshwizard
Are they supposed to do that?
ticktockbent
Yes? What would the alternative be, sinking?
makeSX
Best comment of the year, in the category of sarcastic laughter
Dakksys
Yes and no. The video is stretched.
Proletariats
Okay this makes more sense. Far less terrifying
licmasack
Considering a human would be about 4 pixels tall in the “less scary” resolution - I still would need a change of shorts
webx9001
That would be a terrifying situation ?
Dakksys
Not as much as you would think.
DiscoTurtle87
The real imgur hero.
CekinDestroy
Still looks pretty intense. That's a very large structure. Im sure it's supposed to move a lot but still pretty freaky.
SquattingTigerHiddenGopnik
Good news is that this is a shipped video, the original, while still spooky, isn’t nearly as bad
Oirilia
Where was it shipped to ?
SquattingTigerHiddenGopnik
It was shipped to joe
Josesharlo
I did not receive it

Is it floating on the water?
BadKarmaAUS
Not for long in this sea state!
ticktockbent
Most of them are
Dakksys
sedimentatthebottom
always has been
GohReeRahBooBeez
Always?
BadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerMushroomMushroom
kinda, its sitting on large pillars that go down to the seabed to keep them anchored above the drill but its floating and sliding on them
Solbion
So does it float to prevent extra stress that might occur with the pillars if it were to be firmly rooted in?
Solbion
Extra stress from the tides*
kuriosly
Most of them do not have pillars anymore, and instead rely on station keeping motors. If it had pillars, it wouldn't be moving at all
kuriosly
not really. Only near-costal rigs are actually mounted on pillars, and these are becoming ever rarer. That one is floating.

But theres still an oil pipeline attached? How doesnt it snap with this tyoe of movement??
kuriosly
The pump line is run into a stabilized moon pool, so just that part has a rather large tolerance for movement.
