Very impressive. I thought the crew were done for.
Holy Poseidon, what an adventure!
Great job, CG!
Elen’s MOS is “Tactical Air Traffic Management,” or something to that effect. Keep our helicopters from flying into one another on the battlefield. She won’t be fully trained for a couple more years: it’s a tough job.
She learned to drive a Humvee on the wrong side of the road in Australia, and they keep busy with “work parties.” I think “cleaning our tents” is what Marines do to pass the time, instead of “painting the ship.”
Heh, I got that!
LOL!
Yes he is and every once in a while he writes a column, always on the lookout for them.
I wouldn’t count him out on visiting an axe-throwing bar if he was in the vicinity. :^)
She is one tough cookie then, controlling any Air Traffic is a very difficult job.
“She’s in Okinawa...”
Better now than 1945.

Lloyd’s of London will be cutting a big check!

The Marines have already been helping out:
That upper bumper sticker pic is from an old Katie Perry video. From before she totally weirded out.

Great catch!

It’s actually very respectful of the Corps.
Such a great song too.
I went to Katy Perry's Prismatic concert in 2014 and that was a truly fun time.
So true. My great-uncle was there in 1945 with the Army.
Any time a freight train derails with auto carriers, every car must be destroyed, even those with minumal damage, often time by physically crushing and burying, on site if available, No parts salvage allowed and physical security is on site to ensure it is accomplished. The obvious reason, though it seems a waste, is lawyers -- if a car was in a subsequent wreck with injuries or death the attorneys would sue the railroad and maybe the car maker with enormous liability costs. It doesn't matter the reality, it's the perception and it prevents future payouts that may be many times the cost of replacing the cars.
It will be interesting how the insurance carriers deal with this, probably the same way - maybe disposal at sea after removing battery and fluids.

I would imagine they salvage the metal at least.

Here is how Mazda dealt with 4,000 cars that were on the Cougar Ace that listed badly. Most of these cars had absolutely nothing wrong with them.
