The video below shows the christening of an National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration vessel called the "Reuben Lasker," in Marinette, Wisc. On June 16, 2012, as the ship slid into the water, it sent a dangerous burst of water and debris in the direction of the camera, knocking the camera operator unconscious. Although the launch looks catastrophic, and the ship appears to be a total loss, the launch was actually a fairly normal event. From other angles, the ship appears to tip over and then right itself before settling into a position ready to set sail. The deadly fragments of wood flying at the camera however, were not planned and did indeed seriously injure the videographer.
