OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLIII: As Fun As Waterboarding

[cptjeff]

It lost power twice. The first time they were able to regain control and started to turn it hard into the gap. but before they could straighten it out it lost power again, and by the time they restored it, it was on a direct collision course with the pylon with not enough time to correct.

Somebody's insurance company is having a very, very bad day.

They did call a mayday which allowed the bridge operators to block traffic right before the collision. Also, I heard they dropped anchor in an attempt to slow the ship down and it is partly why it appears to veer into the support pilling.

Why they never added dolphins to the supports I have no idea.

Nah, the way most of them operate they'll find a way to weasel out of paying a f***ing cent...they want to be paid for the illusion of protection, not to actually do it.

With the NFL adapting to XFL rules for kick off, we should explore German rules for basketball.

Looking at that still, I got to ask…..it’s not a euphemism for something else, is it? Like if you are in to that, I’m not going to judge, but I may not watch it.

More or less, they can suplex people on the court as part of a play

Putin said Russia will not attack Baltics, Poles or Czech republic.

Been nice knowing you. Unless Poles unleash all that poorly repressed anger that was breeing for centuries.

Fingers crossed for more Russian soldiers dying while they’re still in Ukraine.

They can f*** with individuals like you or I, but they're not going to be able to f*** with global megacorps like Maersk that have their own private armies of very good lawyers. Somebody's paying out and handing a very large chunk of that money to the State of Maryland.

For context, the NHL's annual revenue these days is just short of $6 billion. Maersk's is just short of $60 billion.

Yeah, there are going to be several insurance carriers ( read legal teams) caught up in this one.

IDK about all that seems this ship is set up like a shell game. Registered in some country with very lax labor laws and safety requirements for the ship and crew, leased out through like 3 different companies before being subbed out to Maersk.

I'm sure someone will pay but it will probably be the group with the least responsibility for this accident.

 

[Negan4Coach]

the weird thing is it didn't drift like sideswipe into the pylon, it hit head-on...which you would think they saw it aiming at not-the-gap for minutes maybe? I guess the bridge is long enough they couldn't have gotten someone out there to block traffic/shut it down?

EDIT: Just saw an update where the ship issued a "mayday" and they were able to stop traffic from getting on the bridge but obviously not vehicles that had already entered...talk about shit timing for those folks

Yeah wow the FBI sure came to the conclusion in record time that there was nothing nefarious in what happened. Perhaps they employed the crack squad of a dozen agents who were sent to sort out the Bubba Wallace garage pull down debacle a few years ago...

I believe I just saw that two minutes of recording on the black box is not available. I for one am shocked.

Well I'm mean not to crush conspiracy theories or anything but you can see the power going on and off as they approach the bridge

I think they have back up power supplies for the recorders

If the ship is maintained properly. Again this ship is registered in a country with very little and very loose labor laws and safety requierments

They know it wasn't nefarious because they didn't allow it, so had to be an accident.

35-0 so far

Side bet, the "bill" that the WH is proposing to replace the bridge will include money for the Ukraine, Rs will vote against it because it will be full of pork spending, and be labeled as hating minorities since its Baltimore. But the bridge and boat has insurance on them.

Seen a body hit by train during forensic medicine. Cross between jiggsaw puzzle and Lego building kit.

I’ve only been on that scene once, and that was plenty. It was tragic and awful, without considering what remained….which was also awful.
