The water is extremely frigid.

The hypothermia risk is still enormous.

You are very far north.

If you've swam in any of the Great Lakes, you'll know they are icy.

They're not for the faint of heart, let alone in November, okay?

That far north.

Now, to paint a more vivid picture, if you want it, you know, viewer discretion is advised.

I did stumble on the fact that radio traffic from that night has been recorded, preserved, archived, and even uploaded to places like YouTube.

You can go listen to the radio chatter as it happened that night.

This isn't a dramatic reenactment

It's actually the radio broadcasting.

And I listened to snippets of it and they talk about the waves.

They talk about how it's thrashing against their ship.

Not necessarily this specific ship, right?

I didn't listen closely enough to know if it was them or a nearby ship or what have you.

But again, there's a lot of ships in the area experiencing that storm.

And you can hear some of the chatter regarding SS Edmund Fitzgerald within it.

But it's, to say the adjective again, it's truly haunting.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's tough.
