[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 4240973, member: 9018"] I also worked on a big ol ship. Most see the fast forward footage and are not aware of what they are seeing. My USN vessel dropped a load many a time because of a new engineering crew in engineering and just while from traveling the Charleston River to open water. Enough to make many as sailors, shite a brick. Was the Frank Cable. We even had to wait for low tide to leave just to get under the bridge. We dropped a load in the river more than several times and then we dropped a load in the open water too many times to count while at sea. The main difference was our auxiliary engines kicked on right away. I can see this both ways. I can see this as complete incompetence, and I can also see it as a planned attack. Our sea port are very vulnerable. As part of our ships SSD (ships self-defense force) I got to play the bad guy and this is definitely one of the ways I would’ve been the bad guy. People will exploit our weaknesses and make it look like an accident. And I can definitely see this as something that could be on purpose. [/QUOTE]
