Closes SF Beaches?!!

The ocean off SF beaches is so cold you can't swim there on the hottest day of the summer, let alone November.

Nahh. It's actually about 75-80 degree water out there now, you know, global warming.

Really, I agree, it's wet suit water all year long.

Typical great reporting by MSM. Yesterday the ship was 920 ft in length, today 810 ft, and yesterday the ship was a Han Jin Containership which is S.Korean, not Chinese. Wonder what we’ll be told next.

Was there more than one bridge collision incident? The pictures of the Hanjin ship that scraped the bridge showed damage well above the waterline and didn't look like it was going to cause any oil leakage. Maybe the pilots are trying to take out the bridge and bring back ferry service.

Nicely done.
