A massive charge of electricity accidentally entered a motor under maintenance on board the M/V Walla Walla. The commutator is the largest portion of the drive motor.

Dang it! I hate it when that happens....
Rode the Walla Walla many, many times.

Oh, Susannah...it’s a MOTOR that failed, NOT an ENGINE! But you’re a dame, what would you know?
To: zeestephen
Sounds like they put full power to one of the motors with its rotor locked. Sounds like it was in that situation for more than a few seconds.

The Washington State Ferries are near perfect example of state controlled industry. It is like the Soviet Union is running the system.
These 70 year old tubs are rusty buckets.
The whole fleet should be sunk and used as an artificial reef for the benefit of sea life and fisheries.
The state bans private companies from offering competition, thus insuring union workers job security.

Sounds like a product defect.

Two years to rebuild the engine? Must be a government job.

Two years to fix a motor? Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged world is coming to life by leaps and bounds.
