I just hate it when someone posts a youtube video and, after watching the one posted, I burn up an hour or more chasing all the fascinating sidebar peripherals ... thanx swampy for screwing up my momentum

They should have put the big boy on the ramp and let the little guys direct traffic.

quite entertaining. the guy who should have been standing on the ramp was not. and obviously, if the wind could pick up the ramp with a car on it, those 2 puny guys were not going to have any effect.

They finally seemed to get some sense and remove themselves from becoming projectiles.

Lots of guys standing around and pointing unhelpfully.

A Longshoremans Union if ever I saw one.

Been there, done that. Only we backed into Santorini and Mykonos at night, and it was so bad we just hauled ass out of there and did not dock.

I’ve seen it worse. I remember driving my jeep from the well deck of an LHA into a Mike boat while at sea.

Now that needed horror movie music!

I was in Bar Harbor, Maine 20 years ago when the wind gusts that day were a constant and frightening 50 MPH+. It was so bad that they shut down the huge car ferry to Nova Scotia adjacent to our hotel, as it would've sunk with the waves crashing into it fully-laden with cars.
