Breaking on Fox... Turkish Vessel being escorted by Coast Guard. It had apparently been watched before the threat was relayed.

Maybe nowadays there is a difference, but I always thought they were basically one and the same (maybe one is "civilian", and one is "Naval"?)

Ok why did they let it all the way into the port of Philadelphia if they were watching this ship prior to entering US waters????????

Darn good question... this is fishy.

Dog - it'll go by you twice - once on the way in and once on the way out. If they were watching it, why did they let it get to port?

I'm confused. "Ship Master" notified Coast Guard of bomb. "Captain" won't allow boarding. What is the difference between the two titles/positions on board a ship? I'm a landlubber, so I am ignorant of the differences. TIA.

Hope there are cameras! I would like to see this search and the captain standing his ground! Could get interesting.

On a commercial vessel the master usually is the captain.

This story is a great candidate for all the facts being wrong.

I suspect some sort of long-standing dispute between members of the crew, someone called claiming there's a bomb, but there's actually no bomb on board.

There was a guest on Linda Vester's show not 30 minutes ago saying how vulnerable our ports STILL ARE.

There was a made for TV movie some years ago that dealt with such an incident. I think the name of it was "the six o'clock news". I also recall seeing it once and, as far as I know, it was never replayed. Good movie, scarry as hell, the nuke in the ship went off as the hero was trying to defuse it. Took out a major east coast harbor.

Yes...and isn't that what the After-Action Millenium report that Bergler stole was all about...airlines and ports?

So US law could apply, not international law.

Hopefully this will wake some of those Democrats up...

LMAO! I'm sorry, I had a momentary lapse of sanity. My sincerest apologies.
