Uh the ship got caught in a storm that it couldn't handle what conspiracy could possibly be at hand here? You know a ship sinking due to bad weather isn't some mysterious phenomenon right?

>doubting conspiracies on Sup Forums
oh boy

Of course it wasn't actually. But I like to make arguments about it to piss off my girlfriend. The actual force of the storm that took that down is unreal.

I can't stop thinking of torture. How can people do the things they do? Like melting the eyes of a little girl out with acid? It cuts me especially deep because I have a fragile little sister and if that ever happened to her, I just....

S.S Baychimo.

She became locked in the ice in the Arctic in the 30's and was abandoned after quite a lot of drama including an attempt at air rescue for the crew. After that she was observed many times and even boarded some but always lost again due to unfavorable weather for salvage. The last sighting was 1969. When did she finally succumb? Where did she finally end up?

Where does this happen?

S.S Waratah

Disappeared with no trace on the run between Durban South Africa and Cape Town. Even if the wreck is found now we'll probably never know what happened due to the probable deterioration of the wreck

>Where does this happen?
His mind

The quantum

It's amazing with a lot of wrecks that the final transmissions are often favorable messages. The captain assuring that they are fine, or no contact at all. What happens in those split moments between good and bad?

I saw it on some YouTube video. Like, "Top ten worst cases of child kidnapping."

They said if they didn't get $100,000 or something they would melt out the little girls eyes. Despite the fact that they gave them the money, they still did it, and the police found the skeleton with acid burns around the eye sockets.

They never caught who did it.

Slum dog?

In the case of the Fitzgerald, she was known to be taking on water. I agree with the theory that she bottomed out on Six Fathom Shoal since the report of her taking on water was shortly after that.

My understanding of her construction was that her bilges were open from stem to stern and the bilge pump pickups were in a narrow trough in the middle of the bilge area. It seems to me that water would be able to run fore-and-aft with increasing volume and speed until it matched up with her running down a wave and she basically just kept going down until the bow hit bottom and the ship broke in half. They probably felt it happening at the top of the wave but there was nothing to be done but hold on and scream NOOOO! in those final few seconds before the bridge was driven underwater.

Failed seals on the hatches. Once water starts to get in the hold of a bulk carrier...

That is something I've wondered about the USS Thresher. That last transmission:
>"... minor difficulties, have positive up-angle, attempting to blow"
apparently was calm. They were aware of problems, but there was never a mayday transmission. That's a bit spooky - problems either going unnoticed or escalating so quickly that things are fucked before you know it.

What exactly is UVB-76? Most think it's a deadman signal (no/incorrect signal=launch what you got) for Russian nuclear forces but since there have been interruptions in signal and non-standard transmissions over the decades it can't be that.

Was the Guy on the couch in Half Baked an FBI informant that was trying to get closer to Sampson Simpson? Lets examine the evidence:

>no one knows where he came from
>he is always there (including when they buy weed from Sampson's dude in the beginning)
>never contributes, but also never says anything indicative of why he's there or is staying
>from a plot standpoint, his only real contribution is encouraging the guys to rob the pharmaceutical place
>after he thrusts them into the robbery, he is never seen again

This shit always bothered me. Maybe just because I fuckin love Stephen Wright.

>Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Was it an inside job?


YES. Obama did it

I found the retard. Do i win?

Of course he did. Did you know Obama also sunk the Lusitania?

Fucking socialist.

Thanks Obama!

Damn gay Kenyan muzzies.

During the meltdown at Chernobyl, multiple people reported a sustained bright light and a plume of smoke that was attributed to the graphite moderator burning. However, tests and experiments with reactor grade graphite have shown that it doesn't burn. What did they see?

I'm wondering who this guy is and how many surgeries he went through to look like this

Why the Mccanns aren't in prison

The evidence clearly shows they were the ones to cover up the death (which was most likely an accident (hence the phonecall in which the mother told her own mother that it was 'just an accident')).

Instead of answering questions the mother refused and wrote a shitty book instead. She got money and didn't try to help the investigation at all

>The edmund fitzgerald sank in water shallower than the ship was long

Illuminati confirmed.

...

That is entirely possible though, surely. Why would the water need to be deep than the length of the ship

im a marine engineer and ive seen some shit. also she was an iron ore carrier and thats the scarriest shit. an oil tanker wont just instantly sink because oil is lighter then water. but fucking iron ore. my nigga. that shit sinks. my mom was in the cost gaurd in canada watching a feed from a c 130 asking a ship if it needed help. a rogue wave went over the bow and it fucking disapeared of the face of the earth.

I cant stop thinking about the R.M.S. Titanic... was it even the titanic? Was ot an insurance scam gone wrong?

>Check of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Why people are so fucking stupid. It's very non-sexual and very real. Today I tried to have I nice evening on town but there was this guy picking a fight with security guards and obviously was taken down, then these fucking kids who screams all the time, and of the old ladies getting on the subway before I’ve had the chance to get of. Naturally people's bad behaviour will always be a thing I will think about.

I am sorry.

...

you should go and live near your sister. I know how this feels. Don't miss out.

People in public are like cancer, I'd rather just avoid most of them. thankfully humanity is ultimately doomed and the earth will heal itself slowly after we're gone.

>Was ot an insurance scam gone wrong?
Nah. You'd spend more disguising Olympic's interiors than the effort was worth. Then, as now, people like certain ships and know what they look like inside and out.

Now if Titanic were sufficiently insured herself, and some relatively minor demolition charges, you could make sure she didn't make it to port because she "hit an iceberg". Very convenient that the very people who could call Ismay out on that story happened to go down with the ship. Maybe they drowned and maybe they were dead before the ship sank.

Some people are just having a bad day. Some people don't know any better. Some people really are assholes. They say even if you think you know a person, all you really see is the outside. The mask.

Fucking magnets, how... How do they work? Explain how the fuck it works. Pro tip. You cant.

this bucket of weird, cults and politicians

they dont, they just collect welfare

Yeah but maybe this guy has a good point:

yeah you are right. people who feel bad is one thing. I know what it's like and it's not like you care of others when not feeling well. I always try to smile even though people behave like idiots.

similarly, don't forget that Abe is also in the leadership of an imperialist cult vying to re-deify the emperor

Nuclear fire. The casing and concrete base probably burned.

Yeah, no.

>getting on the subway before I’ve had the chance to get of
This is something that I've never understood. Same for bathrooms when there is a line. Let people get out first - it really makes no sense any other way.

Anyway, I recommend against dwelling on the bad behavior of others too much. It only brings misery.

yeah interesting stuff. if you believe in the big bang, what was going on before that? did nothing exist? how is it possible for nothing to exist when we exist now? do we even exist?

very true. they just signed a nuke deal with Modi, pieces and parts not materials. Abe is going to modify or abandon Article 8, they will start to weaponize their 48 ton surplus of fissile-goodness

Thoughts and abstraction. Memory. Some beautifully intricate step from chemistry and biology to intangible thoughts.

i dont think about it often but i sometimes think about something i saw in a couple chernobyl documentaries

apparently the radiation is dissipating much faster than anybody expected. i think it's attributed to all the life there, trees and bugs and bacteria and small animals etc, sure it fucks them up but apparently there's also something about this process that renders the radioactivity inert much faster than anticipated

just seems interesting

I know but it is difficult. How can I possibly ignore it without avoiding it? But my feelings definitely depends on who I encounter. If someone looks sad or worried or anything I don't care, I just feel like whatever I can do for them is helping them, but people without excuse.. I want them to know what they are doing wrong,...

I politely disagree. Nationalism is real in the Diet, maybe not Edo jikan, but definitely Meiji militarism

When you say fire, do you mean an actual combustion reaction? Like an actual exothermic oxidation reaction? Setting graphite on fire is damn near impossible, and keeping it burning is even more difficult. It requires a huge amount of heat.

However, I've wondered if the graphite was being heated by the reactions & decay to the point where it could burn and stay burning, not because of heat produced by combustion, but because it was kept hot by the radiation. I've also wondered whether or not water was involved. Steam running over very hot graphite will disassociate into hydrogen and oxygen, then recombine (burn) almost immediately. This also requires a large amount of input heat, but that would be present from the radioactive material... still, there was a fair bit of controversy over whether or not the graphite truly burned.

yeah no fallout 3, more like stalker, the movie...that motherfucker saw the future

And you will never think about the ship again.

I think with many people their own needs and objectives take priority over common sense and dealing with other people around them,they don't learn, they just think you're a dick for calling them out. living in high density populations is a relatively new thing, most people are dumb shits.

Hard to explain how putting on a pair of Japanese pajamas and rolling around on the ground with another guy can become an obsession, but it's a great hobby that I'm so glad I found and do.

>what fascinates you, b?
Lots of stuff, but particularly American's attitude towards Iran. Allow me to explain.

After WWII Iran started slowly growing a little bit of democracy. They had a parliament and prime minister with legal authority strong enough to keep the Shah (read "king") in check and actually provide the people with decent representation. The major resource Iran had (an still does, of course) was oil, but it was all owned by the Anglo Persian Oil Company, and later the Anglo-Iranian Oil Comapny, AIOC (current day British Petroleum), aka. England. Mohammed Mossadegh, the Iranian prime minister at the time (and 1953 Time man of the year) was a huge driving force in nationalizing the oil company because the Iranian oil should belong to the Iranian people, and the circumstances of the AIOC's operation were typical for a western-held interest in the developing world; the working conditions were atrocious and the Iranian people didn't even benefit from their own oil. Mossadegh was essentially the country's leader, as he tried to make big reforms to benefit his citizens. Because of his huge influence, as well as some other factors with the spread of communism in countries north of Iran and some religious tension between parliament (rapidly modernizing and relatively progressive(for the time)) and the religious nobles, the Shah was worried about losing the rest of his power. Now, the father of the Shah in 1953 was responsible for creating the agreement between the British AIOC and Iran. He and his son, the Shah in '53, benefited greatly from the deal, but as states before, the people, who now had power through representation, didn't.

I am considering going into mechanical engineering, yes. I do some machining as a hobby.

What they saw was cosmic radiation being released from the reactor that induced light flashes in the eyeballs of those nearby. The same phenomenon was recorded by Apollo astronauts and studied by them during the Apollo program. They saw these lights even with their eyes closed and even back on earth for an extended period of time. Check it out man

yeah just like "cities" user to look like. small somewhat dense and surrounded by farmland.

My obsession? The Franklin Expedition of 1845.

John Franklin was an experienced ships captain, and the former Governor of Tasmania.
He had been at Trafalger with nelson, and had led two expeditions to the Canadian Arctic before.

The two ships- the Erebus and Terror (Terror was one of the ships that shelled Ft McHenry in the Star Spangled Banner) try to navigate the northwest passage. They winter up at Beechy Island, 3 crewmembers die. The ice thaws and they head down Victoria Strait....and get stuck in the ice.

They wait almost two years before abandoning their ships. They have to walk for three days to reach the shore of King William Island.

They try to walk 900 miles to the closest civilization, a Hudson's Bay Co. store on the west side of Hudson's bay. The sailors put everything they wanted into a 20-foot oak ships boat, and placed it on a pair of runners, and drug the boat along the shore.

None of them make it. The ships sink and less than half the remains of the 130 men have been found.

Now in 2014 and they find Erebus, then Terror in 2016. But the ships are nowhere near where they were abandoned. So the crew tried to walk back to their ships, re-boarded them and sailed south to the SW coast of King William Island.

Oh yeah, they ate their dead. It was a death march to the south. men dropped as they walked, and some were found that way. They say men were still walking in 1851, so six years after they left England.

The Tomb at the Boat Place. You can see the runners from that boat today on the shore.

The desk the president of the US sits at is made from the Resolute- a ship sent to the arctic to find the Franklin Expedition, and abandoned to the ice as well.

I really like street cars and light rail

When Mossadegh threatened to nationalize the oil supply Britain freaked out and asked the US for help. During the last few months of the Truman administration, they got nowhere, as Truman didn't want to interfere in foreign business in that way (>inb4 he dropped the bomb, yes i know but covertly overthrowing a government was different), but as soon as the administration switched over to Eisenhower, the CIA headed an operation to overthrow the democracy in Iran and hand full power back to the Shah. Teddy Roosevelt's son (or maybe great-nephew i can't remember exactly) was the CIA agent who orchestrated the whole thing. Over a period of months on years, the US government sent millions of dollars to Iran's religious leaders, paying them to stir up concern over the spread of communism in the north and to host protests where people would paint Mossadegh as a communist. (he wasn't. he was educated in France and believed in democracy: this was evidenced because he never utilized the police, of which he had power as PM to silence newspapers funded by the CIA and break up the assembly of the people). Eventually the Shah got personally involved and they arrested Mossadegh for treason (or something like that) and put him under house arrest. They got away with it because of the demonstrations funded by US taxpayers. There was some other more detailed stuff going on I can't remember rn but this shit was interesting. Anyway, then the Shah has full power again and Britain and the US have their oil to fight communism in Korea.

The Shah is a dictator who is so paranoid he does a little version of what Stalin did with his night raids to oust potential betrayers. People are miserable and still have to put up with the AIOC and are basically used as slaves for British oil. The religious class is really powerful and overthrow the Shah in the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Except now the people hate the US and Britain for sticking them with the Shah and making their lives miserable for 2 generations. They see us as harm doers with nothing but ill intent towards anyone outside of our borders. And the worst part is, now the rulers of Iran are religious fanatics who help fund the people killing us, but in the west we still don't get that we're kind of responsible for creating the scenario instead of just letting some developing country keep their democracy at the cost of nothing more than an inconvenience to the west.
