Sam, I'm sure you know what happened to the carrier Forrestal in '67 in Subic Bay. A deck hand fired a missile from a Phantom on deck, igniting other planes and nearly burned the ship down. No such safeties at that time.


I was on the fire brigade on that ship in '71 and believe me, they took their job seriously!

Agree -- WOW switch/system was disconnected or bad ... no way that M61 should have fired ... should not have used another F-16 for bore sight ... TAZ

Versailles Edition… 1976 Continental Mark IV. This was the car that the 1975 Mass. million dollar lottery winner bought. How do I know? I repossessed it while working for Ford Motor Credit Co. An 18 year old sailor gets off his ship, buys a $1 lottery ticket and wins. Gets $50,000 a year for 20 years. He fell pray to every scheme that came along and used up his first 50 grand in 3 weeks. Never made his first car payment. We had a rule at FMCC: you miss your first payment - the car gets repo'd immediately.

A replica of the RMS Titanic was first announced in 2012 but was suspended due to financial constraints. Now that the financial issues have been resolved, the owners Blue Star Line announced that work on the luxury Titanic II has continued.

More importantly, the ship will set sail on a two-week maiden voyage in 2022 from Dubai to Southampton.

ZHUHAI, China — China on Tuesday opened the world's longest sea-crossing bridge linking Hong Kong to the mainland, a feat of engineering carrying immense economic and political significance.

Chinese President Xi Jinping presided over a ceremony in the city of Zhuhai to open the 55-kilometer (34-mile)-long bridge linking it to the semi-autonomous regions of Hong Kong and Macau
