Trump had seal team 6 board the ship but the crew had been tipped off and a gun fight broke out and the captain shot himself in the head with no one left to steer the ship it crashed into the bridge. The nuke was recovered. Biden and Obama are furious. But Trump has managed to save the northeast from a massive casualty event again. I shit you not. That dude is clearly a subject matter expert.

We also had all sorts of experts in the Covid threads in 2020, all of the Iraq and Afghanistan threads in mid 2000s, etc. They were all wrong in the end. It was all lies spouted by MSM and our own government the whole time. |

Well, as long as we are examining all possibilities and treating them all as equally likely despite the evidence at hand, I think you’d better get started on figuring out if aliens used a tractor beam to pull the ship into the bridge since the metal bars of the bridge were interfering with the 5G signals they’re using to control our minds. Hmmm... bit of an ass aren't you. If not suffering fools makes me an ass, then absolutely. Not suffering fools will get you banned from the site, or at least from GD. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By xciapup: I can't read 36 pages, I can tell you what happened. The main engine quit. Does not matter why. No directional control via rudder. No reverse. The black smoke is the cold start of the aux gen. Rich mixture. Turbos have not spun up. It did not get warmed up and up to speed before impact. The aux gen engine provides power to the engine start air compressor. The aux gen engine provides power to its generator. Because the aux engine was cold and surging, the electrical current was outside operating range voltage and cycles. The electric protection logic put the aux gen on and off line. Why the lights flashed. With no electric power, no bow thrusters. Accident cause: no fully function aux gen immediately available during critical phase of voyage. End. Thank you. Only a couple of problems with your scenario: 1. One of the actual SME's ITT said that there are 6 auxiliary generators on that ship. He said that a problem in the electrical distribution system could have caused the loss of electrical power even if the generator(s) were running. 2. A cold start on a diesel engine, even at full throttle, generally does not produce black smoke. White smoke from vaporized raw fuel is normal until the engine warms up a bit. 3. Black smoke is an indication of heavy load and max throttle, probably literally "pouring the coals" to the main engine in an effort to reverse the ship. |

You are correct about everything except ONE THING. It completely 100% matters “WHY.” “WHY” is the crux of this entire discussion! When we find out “WHY,” we also learn “”HOW.” Which very quickly leads us to “WHO.” Once we know “WHO,” we move straight to “WHAT” (to do about it). “WHEN” then just becomes a matter of logistics. |

The air-cooled V-12 1790 cubic inch engine in the M60 is a unique application, not at all typical of diesel engines in general.

It's interesting that the members who consider themselves "enlightened" and above conspiracy theories, believe everything democrats tell us about this being an accident, then go on to tell us how the democrats are going to steal the money intended to rebuild the bridge.
Funny stuff. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GutWrench: So have we come to a consensus? I asked the Q tard at work what he thought about it. He believes this was the Obama’s however it was collateral damage. Q and Trump’s team had intel of a 1 kiloton suitcase nuke in one of the containers. Trump had seal team 6 board the ship but the crew had been tipped off and a gun fight broke out and the captain shot himself in the head with no one left to steer the ship it crashed into the bridge. The nuke was recovered. Biden and Obama are furious. But Trump has managed to save the northeast from a massive casualty event again. I shit you not. How does Diddy work into all this? Are you suggesting Diddy didn't do it? And if Diddy didn't do it, what did Diddy do? |

Remember this when you see the yellow bellies bleating about how voting the ‘lesser of evils’ is so important and the way forward. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By diesel1: The air-cooled V-12 1790 cubic inch engine in the M60 is a unique application, not at all typical of diesel engines in general. ETA: My bet is that investigation will reveal that the generator(s) and main engine were running and an intermittent electrical failure caused the loss of power and control. With the info at hand and my previous experience, I'd say that's probably a good choice. Sometimes stuff happens. All the smoke could have been a combo of trying to back down hard, and the ENG firing up every gen he could to try and bring up power during a critical phase of navigation |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By freerider04: That's weird, whenever we fire up the mains and gens on my current ship, we get a nice cloud of black smoke. Same on the 6 other ships I've been on Some of the cruise ships that visit the port here roll some pretty heavy coal when they fire up. So much that you don't want to be downwind of that black cloud. |
