Big file warning.
Absolutely amazing—especially enlarged to full screen. Great find!
CD;
I was watching the shaking and jolting. The camera guy was holding steady but you could tell the way it would jolt that it was a rough ride.
I flew “cargo” in the back many a time and much smoother flights than that could still get the small paper bags passed out and filled up.
Awesome- in the original meaning and full intent of the word.
I missed this earlier, great find!
Looks like it’s being pushed out of it’s ability to come back, but of course, that can all change over night. :)
Don’t even like the looks of that one!
Wonder if he was still transmitting when he was off rambling?
Wicked. Thanks.
Amazing.
Thank you very much.
The Buoy was recovered and switched off.
Is is amazing the number of buoys that are missing or not transmitting.
41002 went off joy riding in Feb. You’d figure that they would have hauled it back out to it’s site and dropped a new anchor line by the start of Hurricane season.
Seems to me that should not have been that difficult. If they switched it off, it would imply that it was still operating and probably pretty easy to find. :)
Remnants at best... would get a new name if redevelops.
