The “how” is conspicuously absent from every news item I’ve been able to find.
I’ve asked a couple guys who are very familiar with port operations “Is there any accidental way in which nine containers could be punctured?” They both laughed and said “No!”
Sounds like someone was trying to start a chain reaction, and failed.
Hmmm, Amish forklift drivers? Bad Baptist? Crazy Catholic? Mad Mormon? Jealous Jew?
Golly, I have no idea where to start looking; perhaps Obama has a senior job position for me in the Homeland Security Department.
I believe Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU) is also at the Morehead City port.
It is the largest ammunition port in the US.
I’ve read the entire article, and see nothing in there describing what type of “containers” they are reporting as “Punctured”.
If they are reporting nine Ocean Cargo Containers, then YES those things are punctured all the time. I played nursemaid to that equipment for 35 years in the Long Beach, Los Angeles Harbor areas. I’m retired now, and I never want to see a container again ;)
If they are reporting other than Ocean Cargo Containers, then YES those too get punctured, and as one other commentor mentioned on this thread YES Mr. Magoo is alive and well in the harbors around not only this country, but every other harbor around the World as well.
