#8 I'm surprised, very surprised, that those dock hands are scattering like rats. A nylon dock line stretched to that point could have easily broken, and the release of energy from the whiplash would have easily killed all of them. The bollard that it ripped out gives you an idea of how much energy was stored up in that rope. Nice job, Captain Windmills.
That little climber in #9 is something else. Good luck, mom.
the mooring lines look like kevlar ones ... huge issue as the old school nylon lines have a breaking point usually lower than the dock (and ship) fittings. Nylon lines parting was dangerous for sure but manageable (esp if you had tattle tales woven into the lines) with the new lines you really have to pay attention to the hardware too since they often have a breaking point less than that of the line.
#8, bet that bollard weighed a couple tons. Coulda been a tug boat killer. I've been in on a few tanker launches like that, insane tonnage inertia. Surprised the line didn't part (separate, explode).
#2 First thing I thought was, whom has been told to close the gate a thousand times? #5 I always used a paper clip. That looks like a good contraption but wonder how bad it mashes the cherry.
#9: When my baby sister was a toddler, I stored my special things, such as Hubley metal model cars, on the top shelf of a large bookshelf, over 6 feet. That didn't work. When she spotted glittery things up there, she went right up that set of shelves like it was a ladder.
#9, no keeping that kid out of the cookie jar.

Delete#2 - finger motions make me think "I Put A Spell On You".
ReplyDelete#7 - some gals are flakier than others.
#9 That little feller's gonna need a playpen topped with razor wire.
ReplyDeleteHe'll toss his blankie over the razor wire like Brad Pitt in Fight Club at the liposuction clinic and away he'll go.
Delete#6, Wow!
ReplyDelete#8, I wonder if any one got hurt?
#9, I'm glad the kids not mine, that's one heck of a talent!

ReplyDelete#10 a good shot and a brave crew as wildfire up and DOWM Drafts can be dangerous.
ReplyDelete#8 I hope the crew on that tug near the aft of the ship had some clean underwear to change into.

#6 is odd. Why did they allow the test to wreck the piston and base? And WHAT is that stuff?
ReplyDeleteProbably made of a maraging steel such as grade 300 or 350. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maraging_steel

ReplyDeleteRight? First thing I thought was that is one sticky little kid.
