Bridge into Bridge

That is trim

 

Not scientific enough!
I prefer "solid-induced squat".

 

Something worked, because it didn't sink.

Abaft the Beam Behind a horizontal line drawn through the middle of the ship, at right angles to the keel.

 

I agree with this, not to be confused with "squat effect".

 

Trimmed by the "concrete".

 

I would say the boat trimmed the bridge, but you can have it the other way around if you like.

Leo, is catawompous scientific enough?

 

I think it's called movable ballast

 

I cant but wonder what that must sound like when they hit.
"nails on a blackboard!"

 

An excellent word, Phil, but to me it sounds like the description of a proa.

 

And the radar boom is still intact!!

Man, they really hit it by a lot.

Rocket science.

NASA.

I love it...

The real intention is to hit the bridge with the rocket, but in their haste, they forgot that the rocket is still strapped to the boat.

 

NASA - we aim for the stars, but sometimes hit bridges.

 

Some stories & pics to choose from . . . . .

P.S. - info about the one from post#10 - ‘‘four crewmen trapped’’

 

Of course it wasn't a NASA vessel, and NASA wasn't operating it, and wasn't the customer. The Delta Mariner is owned and operated by Foss Marine for United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

 

DC, Have they said it was a USAF bird? I guessed as much from the news blackout here.
