Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
This doubtless reflects my ignorance of those huge cargo ships, but how does one of those things end up so close to a bridge support? They aren’t going that fast at that point, no? You steer for the middle, right? Given that these things don’t happen often, it must be kinda hard to do that.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I've seen longer clips where the power goes out on the ship a few times beforehand. Apparently fucked with the controls. I'm similarly ignorant, but that's the only additional insight I got.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Mar 2024, 10:21amThis doubtless reflects my ignorance of those huge cargo ships, but how does one of those things end up so close to a bridge support?

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
There are a couple of old lift bridges around me. Not sure if they are still operational, but I remember as a kid in the 70s seeing the bridges lift up to allow large boats to pass by. I had nightmares about them for years. I'd wake up from dreams where I was falling into the water a couple hundred feet down. My earliest dreams were about falling from the sky into freezing water. Horrible shit.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I've seen a similar video that appears to show the ship losing power at least two times, followed by the engine(s) restarting and black smoke coming from the smokestack as if they were trying to rev the engines to course correct.matedog wrote: ↑26 Mar 2024, 10:45amI've seen longer clips where the power goes out on the ship a few times beforehand.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
How does this get spun by the right? Wokeness on ships instead proper training? Big government interfering with the market forces that would have kept the power going? Pedophile ring on the ship? NATO whores seducing the crew? (Sorry, that last one is on the left.)

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I saw a video on youtube maybe 7 or 8 years ago that showed a guy who swam into the Niagara River a few miles away from me. His buddy had gone into the swirling currents to grab a piece of driftwood - they made furniture out of driftwood. I might have done the same thing myself. Anyway, the first guy struggled in the current, his friend dove in after him, and the undercurrent dragged them both down. Black guy and a white guy. They died together as friends. My best friends knew one of them. Still kinda shocked that youtube allowed the vid, but my lasting memory is of the second guy's white t-shirt disappearing under the waves as they both drowned, bystanders filming, scrambling for rope, but unable to do anything. I used to swim in the river, but I'll never go in the water again.
