In November of 2020, a freak wave came out of the blue, lifting a lonesome buoy off the coast of British Columbia 17.6 meters high .

Such an exceptional event is thought to occur only once every 1,300 years. And unless the buoy had been taken for a ride, we might never have known it even happened.. It wasn't until 1995 that myth became fact. On the first day of the new year, a nearly 26-meter-high wave suddenly struck an oil-drilling platform roughly 160 kilometers off the coast of Norway.
