Dunno if the narrator is just hamming it up for the audience but what he says completely contradicts the article:

> The four-story wall of water was finally confirmed in February 2022 as the most extreme rogue wave ever recorded.

Video says it was a 5-story wave.. "60 feet", article's wave was 58 feet.

The one confirmed in 2022 wasn’t the biggest ever recorded in overall height, but the biggest compared to the other “regular” waves occurring around it.
