10/9/2002: Cargo ships buildup
Hundreds upon hundreds of cargo ships are just floating around on the West Coast waiting to be unloaded. |

Cool image, kind of a calm D-Day. Anybody know what percentage of traffic got re-routed to Mexico?

Ensenada
Ensenada was able to take some ships, but the problem with that port is that it is too shallow to accept many of the "super freighters."

I think it's something about a strike that was costing the American economy in excess of a billion dollars a day.
btw juju, what planet are you logged on from? |

A high res would make a fantastic background...

Hi-res version: in wire photos, there's always a chance that MSNBC makes it one of their pics of the week. When that happens I try to pick it up and put it in the thread. Otherwise, I've tried to work my way through the AP trying to get information about images, but I never get very far.
They trickle the news images out to us on purpose, I think. I would be happy to pay a wire service for rights to some of their shots, to get better access, and to make this all legal, but they just aren't oriented around small players. |

I used to worry about UT relying on CNN for his news of the world, until I realized that some people get their news from the Cellar.

Well, usually I watch NBC Nightly News. But i've been tweaking the PVR software I have set up on my computer, and I haven't been recording stuff lately.
I'm actually going to get cable tv on Monday, so hopefully my potential sources will increase. Last edited by juju; 10-09-2002 at 07:33 PM. |
