When is the Navy going to admit they were hacked?

Sounds quite a bit like the navigational "errors" of a few years ago, when ships were running into each other.

How to show up for Christmas

 

[Goldhedge]

Ok guys, for us poors on the board that don’t own many yachts. Explain the boat explosion like my brain was borrowed from Joseph Robinete Biden, please and thank you.

if fumes accumulate inside the boat and you don't evacuate the fumes before turning the engine over there's a good chance they'll explode?

Correct. Marine systems are more susceptible than land based systems (e.g. cars and trucks). Older boats have plastic tanks - plastic deforms over time. Fumes escape. Large boats with enormous tanks have a large volume for the fumes to accumulate. Inboard systems have starters in the area that accumulate fumes. Spark and gasoline fumes create a “flash”. If that flash has nowhere to go, it creates pressure and that pressure becomes “an explosion”.

I don’t like smaller privately owned inboard systems for this reason (not yachts - I’m talking Jimbo down the road with 25 foot inboard boat that he maintains himself). I have been running outboard boats for 30+ years and have never worried about this problem. My current center console tank fumes if very full and I have a gauge on my dash that tells me if it’s enough to create issues. If that happens I open the center console doors to ventilate if I’m doing any switching of electronics (bilge, nav lights, live well, etc). The worst case that can happen on my boat is a flash from those circuits in the center console area.

On an inboard the fucking starter is in that confined space. Huge current draw (on the order amps) creates a powerful spark if conditions are right.

Most of these boats have interlocks that don’t allow an engine start without a several minute blow out. I’m guessing that system was either faulty or monster-garaged on this boat and the poor bastard that started it up got fucked…

Tragic.

Best way to handle it is keep the boat key in your pocket when it's docked. I
had a 25' jet boat with a 454. When docked the engine cover was always open.
Keeping the key in my pocket was the safest way to keep one of my drunk buddies from attempting to start it.

How The Federal Reserve Secretly Enslaved The World​

In 1910, seven of the world's wealthiest and most powerful bankers secretly gathered on a faraway island to create the Federal Reserve. Since then, America, and the rest of the world have been enslaved by a central bank that has enabled endless wars, historically extreme wealth gaps, and a 36 Trillion dollar debt bubble on the brink of bursting.After you watch this video - you'll know what needs to happen next.

Inboard boats have a blower that removes gas fumes. You have to run the blower before you start it. If it were to backfire the fumes go boom.

If your brain was borrowed from OBiden, the explanation would have to be in 1st grade picture cards and you'd have to be sharing a snort with Hunter.

Design flaw?

 

[MortgageHorn]

On boats with inboard motors, Gas vapor builds up in the engine compartment. Those boats have a blower that blows the vapor out before you start it. If you don’t run that blower and you start it, the spark can ignite those vapors and goes boom.

Or you could have a Meth lab below deck.

Just curious, where are the dead bodies? I’m guessing this camera had a heat signature, and it focused on the main area of the crowd.
Weren’t there like 50+ people that died? Not one in camera shot?

I know a gal who was there and took one to the knee...

It's been 2 days since they came out with the news they got shot down.

The only thing that could have happened (from an F16 pilot I know) is they didn't turn on their 'we're friendlies' transponder, which seems kind of suspect you'd 'forget' that when you're in a potential war zone.

@GatorOK already told us what happened.
