goatface posted:They'll find another port. Your sex arse might be a bit late. Its kind of that simple, but that means taking on more fuel, and joining an already waiting fleet of ships at another port, that may be even more distant and already packed with scheduled ships awaiting loading or unloading.

smoobles posted:holy gently caress, the ship was tracking to drift under the bridge until they slammed on the brakes? They probably had no way of knowing that given loss of power and time to get the backup generators up to bring up instruments at the minimum if they were not already on. Its likely going to be something that was largely outside the captains control given the double power loss. With no power means no hydraulic, meaning no rudder or electricity for thrusters, and it looks like once power came back they restarted the engine and tried to reverse which will cause the boat to shift anyways. Sucky situation.

AndrewP posted:The guy in the video above suggested that the ship may have just drifted along its intended course under the main channel of the bridge had they not reversed the engines when it woke back up. Yes but with no instruments to tell you your intended path, what would you do? Assume you won't hit the bridge or try to avoid hitting the bridge altogether by throwing it into reverse?

redshirt posted:I'm no harbor master but I thought tug boats were often used in tight passages like this in harbor. Nah, usually they just help the ship leave the dock and pull away, but the ship was effectively under its own power and already maneuvering so the tugs go off to move the next ship.

The Last Call posted:https://twitter.com/cdoddKC/status/1772600839128920136 Fenders don't exactly have to stop the ship, if you look they are angled towards the most likely direction the ship would be approaching, they just need to push the ship away or redirect it away from whatever they protect, not necessarily stop it. In fact its easier to redirect something bearing down with that much force than stop it.

AndrewP posted:Maybe if the fenders were built out far enough it could have slowed it down and taken the brunt of the damage to where at least maybe it wouldn’t have been a square hit to the support? I don’t know. I mean that's how guardrails work normally - absorb the energy at the sacrifice of their integrity.

Javid posted:Was there a thing they could have built that would have actually stopped or deflected a 7 megaton impact? They could've built something capable of deflecting it at least, stopping no. Its far easier to get something that size deflected and the energy moving in a different, slightly changed direction than to stop it.
