This from a former naval officer and ship commander:

Query:

How is it that Trump is both in the pocket of CEO's AND yet they don't like his performance to date?

Sooooo much spinning...

Everybody seems to be assuming this was an accident. Does anybody know that for sure? Has the merchant Captain said so?

Oh noe! Stuck deliberately by a ship with MURKY PROVENANCE! Those dastardly Filipino BASTIDS! Time to drop a few MOABs on 'em and give them an attitude adjustment! President Trump can call it Operation Reichstag Fire II


WHAR IS ALEX JONEZ?

Was Rob one of the Founding Fathers? Fuck, he needs to give up the Fountain of Youth!

Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

Okay we finally get a plot of the Filipino ship. It appears the yuuuuuuge container ship HUNG A U-TURN in a crowded shipping lane and then HUNG ANOTHER ONE.

Your failure to acknowledge the Milwaukee riots and Louisiana flooding is reprehensible.

Don't do drunk posting. It makes you look silly.

Good article.

Wasn't impressed my his "vastness of the ocean" comment. Like saying, "How you could you have a wreck in Las Vegas, just look at the vastness of the desert?"

I think I read at any given time 300-400 ships are in the area where the collision occurred which isn't very far from Japan.
Not like it was in the middle of the pacific.

History will not be kind to Obama. Thank you for proving my point.

Oh well, I tried to warn you.

Well, we're being told that it was an accident, but the investigation is just getting underway. I know the first 24 hours (maybe even 48) was focused entirely on keeping the ship from sinking and accounting for the entire crew. Ascertaining what happened was certainly on the back burner.

Get with the program, you fat slob.

Your Bible (American Thinker) has already investigated the incident and determined that it was no "accident" by rather a deliberately calculated act of war.

The destroyer was attached to the USS Ronald Reagan carrier group, and the container ship was striking a symbolic blow against the legacy of Ronald Reagan, obviously.

All right-minded white patriots should "muster their militias" and be prepared to retaliate.

Minute-by-minute account of the collision

Because the container ship did not stop, immediately corrected course and sailed almost an hour before turning around post-collision, the experts are saying now that the container ship was on "Iron Mike" autopilot and the crew was asleep.

LMAO. Is Alex Jones writing for American Thinker now?

So it looks like the weird track was because they kept under way after the collision then turned around and came back, then turned again and headed in to port.

What was the course of the Fitzgerald? Where had been and where was it going? Or do we even know that yet?

 

[NOIRTRASH]

ho was on the bridge of the destroyer and not watching the radar?

A 700 foot container ship is pretty big to not see.

But we're talking about the GAYVEE.

Good article, the narrative seems to fit the facts. I wonder if repercussions will play out any with international dialogue.

Good for them!

1:30 am with a third quarter moon and about 60% cloud cover.
Not as easy as an armchair quarterback might think.

An iceberg is bigger.

The wrong assumption here might be that it was not seen.


There are no investigation results, but it is just as likely that it was seen, but one or the other of the vessels did something unexpected whether it be a mechanical malfunction or human error.


I wouldn't get too vested in speculation at this point.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Preliminary results from the Navy are in.
Seems like the crew of the Fitzgerald was negligent.
Multiple failures of safeguards at multiple levels.

"They did nothing until the last second," one official said. "A slew of things went wrong." A second official said the crash "will wind up being our (the US Navy's) fault."
