This is the terrifying moment water crashed through the front windows of a ferry in rough waters, as Storm Ylenia battered Germany with 94mph winds (FEB 17, 2022). Footage taken from inside the harbour ferry by a passenger shows the vessel being buffeted around as it sailed down the river Elba between Hamburg and Finkenwerder (Route 62), before a huge wave breached it. Frightened passengers were shown sitting at the front of the ferry directly in the path of the water when it smashed through the glass.
