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"?)
They'd find pieces of that ship scattered over 2 square miles....They SOB is lucky I'm not calling the shots.....
Darn good question... this is fishy.
My worse fear....there are all kinds of chemical plants on the Delaware and a nuke plant.
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?
"Phew! Nothing down here but a band of Syrian musicians communicating in Arabic. Move out!"
"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????????"
Exactly!!!!
Very Good Question.

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.
Three nuke plants. Hope Creek, Salem I, and Salem II.
My brilliant daughter just pointed out that the Amtrak train stopped this morning was bound from Philadelphia.
Thanks for the updates.
nuke detonation on water would send radioactive spray everywhere. scary.
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.
LMAO! I'm sorry, I had a momentary lapse of sanity. My sincerest apologies.
