Shocking CCTV footage, made public by http://LiveLeak.com, shows passengers and furniture thrown around inside a cruise ship during a heavy storm. The P&O cruise liner Pacific Sun was hit with huge waves 650 kilometres off the coast of New Zealand in 2008. The waves were so powerful they lashed as high as the fifth deck and caused the vessel to roll violently, injuring 42 of the 2403 passengers and crew onboard. A second video taken below deck shows heavy equipment, including a forklift, being tossed around like toys.
