What size mig do you need to fix this hole

[tigler]

Thats the strange thing about it, the programmed course in the nav computer had been overridden, and the deviation took it straight into the rocks !

 

[Robotstar5]

Was it actually sailing that close to shore, or did it just wash up there?

Once it was holed he drove it into shallower water

 

[flash of light]

what sought of fuel do these boats carry.

Marine deisel i think but dont quote me on that one

 

[tigler]

I thought is was something called bunker oil or heavy fuel oil ?

 

[Robotstar5]

The news said they are trying to figure out how to pump 2000 tons of it out of the ship before an environmental incident

 

[drjim]

If the water got in through that hole, why is the side with the water in it sticking up? Should have tipped the other way - or is there a bigger hole the other side?

Needs a clarke 160 at least, if not a portamig.

 

[tigler]

Will be a bit of a problem as it's stored in multiple, compartmented tanks.

Judging by the recording played on the news tonight the captain's in deep water.

aparently he turned about to get into a harbour


they been blasting their way through to find any survivors

 

[Shedendman]

Whats the price of scrap metal at the moment,hows something that big for a salvage company to priced up then?

 

[graffian]

A work colleague booked his cruise a couple of days before it happened!

I know some who has just booked a cruise in June, he said "it gives them 6 months to patch the boat"

 

[outofthefire]

They ought to just ship a dozen pikies out there, they'll have it cut up and away over night

Trouble with that lot is they will leave glass and all manner of rubbish laying around, and most of it wont be connected with the boat..

 

[tigler]

Apparently, the captain is now claiming he tripped and fell into a life boat !!

Heard that on the news this afternoon still at that explination.

The loss of life is not at all funny, and in the fulness of time the facts will become known.
Was it just the actions of the captain or is it endemic in the industry to show off and take risks of epic magnatude.

 

[tigler]

Most certainly not funny, me thinks the cruise industry will be bricking it over the outcome of this. Already lots of incompetance and blatant contradiction of procedure is becoming evident.

 

[roofman]

ironicly its going to do wonders for the local tourist trade
very sad for the ones lost and there familys
