Since you're so late, you missed that none of that was there when the video originally went up, and it went up without the second part which showed the hole being filled.

Sagebrush posted:Maritime regulations universally state that when two ships are on a collision course, both must turn to starboard (right) for clearance. This impact is on the right side of the ship, suggesting that the Fitzgerald turned to port. Whoops. for recreational motor vessels, the vessel to starboard has right of way over the vessel to port, not sure if this applies to huge merchant ships who generally never change course. But having a big dent in your starboard side pretty much means you're in the wrong.

The vessel to port is supposed to give way, but that doesn't mean the starboard vessel has "right of way." Like, if you give way like you're supposed to and the other vessel swerves to hit you that doesn't mean it's not his fault.

Sagebrush posted:For some numerical context: when water turns to steam, it expands to about 1700x its volume. So one litre of water will turn into 1700 litres of steam. That means that a single 591mL (20-oz) bottle of water, if thrown into that crucible of molten steel, will instantly expand to a cubic meter of gas -- approximately the size of a refrigerator. Kaboom The inverse is also true, 1700 litres of steam will condense into 1 litre of water. Like so:

The container is airtight. Hot steam inside the container, at atmospheric pressure. Then the cold rain falls on the container, cooling the container and turning the steam back into water, condensing it and pulling a vacuum inside the container. The container is obviously pretty drat strong, but eventually it gives and the vacuum pulls the container in on itself.
