Deadly Rouge Waves Do Exist
European satellites have given confirmation to terrified mariners who describe seeing freak waves as tall as 10-story buildings, the European Space Agency (ESA) said. Rogue waves have been the anecdotal cause behind scores of sinkings of vessels.
Testing this theory , ESA tasked two of its Earth-scanning satellites to monitor the oceans with their radar. The radars send back around 30,000 separate "imagettes" in a three-week project.
Even though the research period was brief, the satellites identified more than 10 individual giant waves around the globe that measured more than 25 meters (81.25 feet) in height, ESA said in a press release
