Damn. We’ve been out all day going around Helen, GA and I’m just now hearing about this story. Just terrible. It’s kinda hard to wrap your mind around the fact a collision that slow could actually sink a ship. But, when you think about the amount of force from even a slow-motion impact from a gargantuan ship like that, then it makes sense. I pray for everyone who was aboard the cruise ship when this happened.
What’s crazy is I’ve been getting catalogs from this cruise company for quite some time. We’ve been talking about taking one of their 14-day river cruises either in 2028 or 2029.

Atlantic Asphalt and the Cruise line don't want no part of the Womac......Gordon would have flown in, but.....

Fox 8 reporting that divers are in the water right now.
They heard a rumor that the Heart of the Ocean had been found and was on that ship.

Wow that is so crazy! It could’ve been you!

Upstream of the twin spans where the crappy old warehouses/warfs were replaced with modern, lots of glass fronted buildings.
Asphalt was empty by the look of the water line.
That page 1 picture of the asphalt at a right angle to the dock with both the twin spans in back of it is terrifying. We took those bridges thousands of times. As have many good people who will remember these pictures.

I thought reports earlier said he mentioned that everyone made it off ok? Did I misread that?

Might expect that as soon as rescue ops are done they'll pull the tanker off and tow it to a temporary berth in Gretna. The NTSB and USCG investigation teams will be onboard tonight/tomorrow and go through it all and figure out wtf happened. Probably someone on there now drug testing the crew. Pilot and tanker will lawyer up along with PI plaintiffs / cruise ship. Probably have some sort of proceeding on the vessel or at another location to conduct interviews. Probably take a week or so. Will probably hear audio uploaded of the tanker communicating with VTS LMR in the next few days.

I mentioned the possibility of it in the other thread and that's it. Stop being a fricktard.
You need to know I'm not a weather expert nor am I a national security expert so quit reading so much into my posts.

Yeah I’m hoping this is one of the many times mainstream media is wrong. I thought Lt Gov had said it looked promising

That was likely some idiot talking out of his arse. Nobody could have ascertained that so quickly unless the cruise ship was very lightly manned which it seems it was not.

You gotta imagine a lot of the passengers indeed were old and unable to swim if needed. I know for a fact if my father in law had been on there at the time, he would not have made it.

Oh, everyone who has ever seen you post understands this. You are an attention seeking moron.

Well, considering we’re traveling today (I mentioned we’re in Helen, GA) to celebrate Mrs, Vader’s birthday, and we’ve looked into doing one of these cruises, had she decided she wanted us to do one of these for her birthday this year instead of coming here to Helen, then yeah, it actually could have been us.
The irony of it is she’s said it looks like these cruises could be fun, but they look to be “for old people”, and that’s the main reason she hasn’t agreed to go yet.

That foreign flagged tanker would not have been here if the US didn’t waive the Jones Act because of the Iran war.

It doesnt matter if your old or not if you're in a stateroom of a laid over boat. The way out is up, and the stairs arent going up anymore.
