Rogue Waves -- show on the history channel right now

There's a show on the history channel right now on rogue waves. They are showing damage to cruise ships. One ship got hit on the 10th deck, 75 feet up.

And a guy on an oil tanker took a picture of a "100 foot" wave on a 15 foot day. (Not sure it looked like 100 feet to me, but it was really big.)

Not to give away the ending but a mathmatician proved that rouge waves not only are real but far more common the believed. Weather sattilites have confirmed it. I saw this one before.
