That would be fun to watch in person, from a safe distance of course.

A couple of scary moments (seconds, actually) in this video are at 0:40 where it looks like the guy goes under the end of the ship as it slides into the water, and at 0:49 where the freighter slides off the bluff into the water. Seems like that would be quite a stress to that hull. And what the heck is it doing way up there on that bluff anyway???
