    Rhode Island Tall Ship Incident
    From: Frank Reed
    Date: 2017 Oct 19, 19:11 -0700

    Here on the island where I live in the middle of Narragansett Bay, there is a little tiny newspaper, and in the past few days there has been coverage of a maritime mishap that some of you may find interesting. Read here:
    jamestownpress.com/news/2017-10-19/News/Oliver_Hazard_Perry_mishap_leaves_it_undamaged.html

    But if you want to experience the "loss of power" incident almost live, be sure to check out these videos from Newport Harbor (with binoculars, I coud have watched some of this from my backyard). You won't often see a big tall ship banging around a harbor like this. Bear in mind that the vessel was departing a "seafood festival" with a helluva lot of drinking in the day. Heads should roll. Insurance rates should skyrocket.

    Idiots. 

    The videos:

    Dock Line Caused RI Tall Ship Crash

    Awww... maybe they're not getting enough sleep...
