Yeah, it’s hard to get a sense of the scale from some of those videos. For an idea, it’s 127 feet vertical from the bridge to the water. Anyone who was on those masts when it hit very likely fell a very significant distance. It’s honestly enough of a height that I don’t know if it would’ve been better to land on the ship or in the water, but the outcome is guaranteed to be terrible, either way.
It doesn’t look so bad until you notice that there were people all the way up the masts. It’s a really big ship so you don’t notice them at first.
