The Perfect Storm
Watching this as I clean the basement...wondering...why weren't these guys in survival suits or was that just an oversight by the movie?

Comms never wear survival suits except on TeeWee. Coasties are always on their case, but once they leave it's out of sight out of mind.

I get the bravado thing, but your ship is doing full roll overs (and recovering via movie magic) and you just lounge in the bunk in your Grundens?
Seemed odd to me. |

Not true at all bud........I can think of one time I was very glad I had one on. All commercial boats that operate in federal waters are now required to have monthly safety training drills. A log most be kept and the drills validated by a certified drill instructor. Most smart comm. fishermen today believe in training and attend free safety training like the program offered by Fishing Partnership support services.

Pretty good movie. I remember that night (October 1991?), I was a teenager at a Halloween party in CT, I remember how cold and windy it was that night.

My favorite book of all time and this is what I remember most when I think back on it. When exiting the rescue chopper, the para jumpers had to time the crests of the waves to avoid falling a 100 feet. Both mis-timed the jump and one survived if I recall correctly. Broken ribs, broken arm...was still able to help and be rescued. Crazy stuff. I've always had so much respect for those guys... |

Boat disappeared off the planet. Nobody knows what happened on board. All they found was a debris trail 1400 miles from home.
The rest is Hollywood

Last time I watched that movie was in my old house. The surround sound was booming. My girl thought she heard something. I was butt ass naked. Looked out the window and 2 dudes were walking from my garage to a running car with no lights. My garage was right below the living room where I was watching a movie. They were nice enough to close the garage door after stealing #^&#^&#^&#^& that a contractor doing work on my house had in there. Yup one of his junkie workers. So there I was butt ass naked and scared as hell trying to chase down a car.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there was any requirement to have survival suits on board at that time.

Since 1988 When the Fishing vessel safety act was passed all fishing boats operating in Federal waters had to have immersion suits on board. |

I knew two of those guys personally- worked with Shatfords wife in a coffee shop and Sully was in my bowling league. The summer before this happened I boarded the boat and scored some fresh swordfish from Shatford, got a tour of the boat too. Movie did a good job of depicting what likely happened out there. I remember walking the back shore of Gloucester after the storm and seeing car-sized boulders in the front lawns of the houses across from the ocean.

That is one of the hard things for many to fathom - these were real people, somewhat fictionalized by Hollywood, not fictional people. |

I can't remember if I've read the book though I have read most of Junger's others and they're all quite excellent. Some parts of the movie seem really over-acted but then reality hits and you probably couldn't over-act some of those scenes. |

I remember the entire cape ann area was hit pretty damn hard.. a local photographer had a picture of the mansion on the south side of good harbor beach engulfed in a wave! the house sits like 30 feet above the water line I would guess and this wave was up to the roof. |

The terrible Boston accents ruined that movie. Diane Lane's accent is the worst. At least Clooney didn't try. And yes, the book was much better.

The book is a must read.
The movie pales is comparison to the book.
