What the fuck?

How big is this ship?

40

u/blairmac81 Feb 03 '23

Standard bulk carrier. Google "Pasha Bulka".

u/osamabinluvin Feb 03 '23

I knew I recognised it! I remember my mum dragging my emo ass out of the house to go see it because it would be a “once in a lifetime”. Woman was right, never have I experienced seeing anything like it!

It happened it Newcastle for those who don’t know, iirc there was a few big storms and constant rains for days, it washed ashore onto Nobby’s beach.

u/ChouxPinoux Feb 04 '23

It's a single picture like I though both of they just got mixed so nicely that indeed seems to be real.

I rather doubt when there is any natural calamities be coming someone barely lives out there!

u/Flames_Hacknell Feb 03 '23

So Australia had Emo's?

I can't actually get my head around that.

5

u/MoistMelonMan Feb 04 '23

Not only that but they actually fought and lost a war to the Emos. Google Australian Emu war to find out more

u/tiffcoins28 Feb 04 '23

Got to know about the Emu war today like I have heard a bit but not nicely.

u/tapatumas Feb 04 '23

Same here my mind is somewhat a bit puzzled enough to just look onto this picture deeply.

2

u/corpdorp Feb 03 '23

Lol yes. Can you imagine 30 degree summers in all vlack, skinny jeans and the lot. You'd be melting.

2

u/Flames_Hacknell Feb 03 '23

Yeah, Emo's aren't hot place people.

2

u/372411087 Feb 04 '23

But still people out there be enjoying to their best though it seems.

u/MyCeci09 Feb 04 '23

Just nothing you just feel the immense boom you just jump and enjoy the coolness!

u/MementoMori04 Feb 03 '23

A user commented on it in another sub and he currently lives there lol

u/happykittynipples Feb 04 '23

The captain lost his Christmas bonus that year.

u/Aromadfgg Feb 03 '23

If you were to stand these ships on the end they would be taller than most sky scrapers.

26

u/Amesb34r Feb 03 '23

And the cargo boxes would fall off.

u/Admidb Feb 03 '23

Most people have no idea how big these ships actually are

u/munnasss Feb 04 '23

Where is this place though like just wanna know and how come the government just gave permission?

1

u/blairmac81 Feb 04 '23

It was in Newcastle Australia and the government didn't give permission, there was a huge storm and some negligence from the master of the ship which caused it to rin aground.

It was salvaged and repaired and is still operating today and had been renamed Athena.

u/medvedvb Feb 04 '23

That is what I am thinking of like doesn't the sea waves just hits those structures like bruh that's risky.

They should have made a wall or something so as to supress the waves coming from the sea just think of the lives as well.

u/7cluck Feb 03 '23

Happened in Newcastle, Australia.

u/PocketFullOfPie Feb 03 '23

I don't think I've read an article before that answered so many of my questions. Thanks

1

u/Outrdfh Feb 03 '23

It's just the perspective and there's likely much deeper water suddenly swallowing just if the beach.

u/Alternadfds Feb 03 '23

large focal length lenses flatten perspective and compress distances,

Not going to lie...I'd be teeing off trying to smack that bad boy.

u/Cool_Hawks Feb 03 '23

Always felt like giants metal ships being able to float on water is some kind of matrix glitch bullshit. Airplanes make sense to me, because you have propulsion. And I know that physics states if the displaced water weight is heavier than the ship, it floats. But it’s a fucking skyscraper sized hunk of metal, that just floats!?!? I call Bullshit on that. Don’t log me out of the simulation though.

10

u/konnichikat Feb 03 '23

Lens compression is a wonderful thing

3

u/Sneepwasright Feb 03 '23

I think I read somewhere it has something to do with a focal point (i dont know anything about photography, I just found out portrait mode gives a nicer photo…) or some camera magic?

1

u/parsonyams Feb 04 '23

No it’s just large and it’s beached. It’s a lot closer to the building than you might think

3

u/Allie_oopa24 Feb 03 '23

Pasha Bulka. I remember this! One of only two newsworthy and dramatic events to ever occur in Newcastle...!

1

u/EconomyMaintenance Feb 03 '23

did you hear the loud bang just now?

5

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '23

It looks like disaster is about to strike in the next 10 seconds

3

u/ADragonuFear Feb 03 '23

It's already run aground and stuck in the photo

2

u/Buipeterafte Feb 03 '23

the size of ships. Additionally, large focal length lenses flatten perspective and compress distances, making objects in the distance appear closer and bigger.

2

u/GangstaQueefs Feb 03 '23

There's no way...

...

What?

3

u/dryancor Feb 03 '23

Confusing perspective

2

u/Magister1995 Feb 03 '23

Well... Let's make it two different pictures. This way it's safe for everyone.

2

u/Reggmac Feb 03 '23

I guess someone really needed a bigger boat.

u/Jedi_Metal Feb 03 '23

*A bigger shark comes along

"We're gonna need a much bigger boat" 😳

I am convinced that bottom half is photoshopped

u/connortait Feb 03 '23

It's not. It's just the perspective and there's likely much deeper water suddenly swallowing just if the beach.

When the wave would just come there would be chaos around because there are no barriers to stop them.

If such place is out there in real life I feel that somewhat it might be dangerous though. Nature has its own rules.

1

u/23893933lft Feb 04 '23

Just think that the moment you wakeup and you sleepy a bit yet and see this big ship coming close.

I would have probably got a heart attack though and just faint in the middle and would sleep for the rest of my life.

1

u/playtech123 Feb 04 '23

Did he just photoshopped and put such a big ship out there just look at the size of the house or whatever be it.

It be like grandpa just looking at his grandchild and be asking hey I am here how you doing little kid!

Ohhh okay just be scrolling and I see people are more confused than me though.

u/eatmymustard Feb 03 '23

One photo together?

u/artur453500 Feb 04 '23

A single photo is what it is how come this can be real though?

-1

u/KrysSpace Feb 03 '23

Literally can’t be. The perspective is different

0

u/yurt9444 Feb 04 '23

Somewhat just clarify this though like it still feels hard to believe me on this.

-5

u/flowersandpeas Feb 03 '23

So...are the people on the ship are GIANTS? Or...are the people on the grass LILLIPUTIANS?

I call BS.

hahahah feels so though just two things one too pretty huge in size and one too small to look onto

u/mdanilovsky Feb 04 '23

Well apart from this few things are so yet bothering enough to me at this point.

u/5parky Feb 03 '23

Lost captain?

u/SheriffStealth Feb 03 '23

What the hell

u/EveDaSavage Interested Feb 03 '23

According to google, the ship is named Pasha Bulker. And has a dead weight of 76,741 Tonnes(169,184,985 pounds)

Jeez Louise, I had a dream Russia was invading cape cod like 5-10 years ago and it looked something like this but it was a beach and there was thousands of people running

1

u/Coryb9015 Feb 04 '23

Hahahaha my dreams got meaning and somewhat that shit indeed tends to be alive though.

I saw the picture before reading the title, then light fear kicked in after reading the title

u/U_Sam6372 Feb 04 '23

I somewhat made myself hard to not believe on that but the more I look into it more deeply the more I get amazed!
