The bigger they are, the harder they....sink?

Fixed that to reflect current events:

Indian Navy frigate flips over in dock, killing 2

'Sposed to look like this:

Attachment 58744

The INS Betwa had just undergone unspecified repairs, and was being removed from dry dock when it rolled over on its side.

That first picture looks like a colorized picture from WW2. Nothing modern about it.

Nothing to it, all you need is two hands to wrap the sails and two hands to hang on. :eyebrow:

No. No indeed. Hell no.

I could not agree more.

But I am even more mystified as to how the picture was taken. It doesn't look like it came from a GoPro Hero 4 or a drone or a remote MastCam (tm). There's at least one other person in this event who doesn't have a realistic sense of fear. But that might be me.

Looks like one of the Boy Scouts was absent on knot-tying day (actually, they needed a bigger rope, I guess):

That was strange. They had their side thrusters on but couldn't stop it. The small rope that was still attached is probably the line they pull the hawser with. The boat they hit was tied up but looked like the props were churning up a storm. :confused:

They don't build 'em like they used to.

Fast turns...

Came in a little hot:



Slowest crash ever.

One of those finger in front of the lens fools. Anyway, it's Ketichan's fault for having a flimsy dock. :haha:

I've docked there, not on a cruise ship, Alaska Marine Highway vessel... it sounds windy as hell. I reckon they were blown into the dock.

anyhow, that'll buff right out.

Whoops.
