Re: Slight Miscalculation.
I wouldn't want to be on the bridge listening to the captain as the bridge came down.... Those big ships take miles to slow down and stop. I'm sure he saw it coming from a long way off. Also... I wouldn't be standing anywhere near as the thing caught fire.... Anyone remember the Texas City fire where a ship caught fire at a dock?.... People were asking, " What's on the ship?".... " Oh nothing dangerous... just some fertilizer..".... A few minutes later...... Ba-Boom..... And the whole town is flattened. :(
