But how many of the ships had diarrhea laden passengers? Big mean media never looks on the bright side
Those things don’t come with backup cameras?
The do’s and don’ts of parking hotels.
No joking, we know someone on one of the ships (the one that got hit, I believe?). I saw a post about it at least a couple of hours before I saw it online…
I am king of the wo…ooaahh
So I should have been a cruise ship captain! I am so qualified, like the time I forgot to reinstall the drain plug before I launch. Or the time I let a friend skipper while I wrestled with the ski ropes… she gunned it and nearly took off my right leg just below the knee with a nylon line! Or the time, actually nevermind, those two should be plenty to get me hired by a cruise ship line
Fighting over a parking space just got real, in a huge way.
It’s all fun and games until someone takes a ship out.
That’ll buff out.
You win again gravity!
Just FYI, there’s a nautical term “allision” which is an impact of a moving vessel upon a stationary object or ship. Different than a collision between two moving vessels. It makes a big, big difference in admiralty law as whether or not something had the right to be in a place to hinder navigation.
The Cosco Busan, which hit the Bay Bridge a few years back, was an allision, for instance.
