The strength of the sea in stormy sea that hits the Strait of Messina with a ship that oscillates conspicuously, left and right, shaken by the wave motion that is crossing the sea flap between Scilla and Cariddi.
The video shot this afternoon around 3 pm is impressed by Antonio Messinacommute working worker who, on the return to the city, aboard the ship “Giuseppe Franza”, immortalized the vehicle bridge that almost “vibrated” under the gusts of wind and waves. The images show parked cars and trucks that seem to sway in turn, while passengers tried to maintain balance, clinging to handrails and railings.
The video portrays a constant corrugation movement, at times abruptly, with the ship it tilts first on one side, then on the other. From the filming there is also the deaf noise of the impacts of the waves on the hull, which accompanies the continuous swing, between the amazement and the disturbance of the passengers.
Despite the adverse conditions, the ship continues the crossing, keeping the route between the two sides. A passage that, on days like this, becomes less routine and more challenge against the sea.
