I know nothing so bear with me, 2 things where is all the coal going,steel mills,power plants? And second I see there are no ladders going from ship to shore, so the crew can not go to the store?? Ralph
@dgvg8625 күн бұрын
They keep talking about moving this coal pile to the old location of the Pulliam power plant. They should just start unloading there and just keep selling it from this location until it's all gone. Then there would be no expense to move it. There's tens of thousands of dump truck loads there.

@fredhinck9685 Obviously you don't understand anything about energy! The US has more coal than oil, so why would you use oil that you have to get from the middle east?

@@smitastic7030 Missed the sarcasm huh ? The comment was directed at the EV crowd spouting about the charging of their vehicles. Much of the electricity in the US is produced by coal burning power plants. Unless they're charging off solar or wind power, they're fooling themselves.

I don't trust this kind of ship far too many have sank in bad weather for my liking they don't look sea-worthy more like canal barges

This design has been around for over 125 years. Improvements have been made on every one of these Lakers. They are extremely safe and seaworthy. And don't forget, canal barges sink, too.

@@keithrimmer3 The point is, 29 men lost their lives on the FITZGERALD, leaving behind their families. Was her design any worse than the Liberty ships of WW2 that cracked in half in ocean storms, drowning sailors? It's a chance those that go to sea take. They place their faith in the builders of their ships to withstand all weather. Sometimes fate is fickle. The FITZGERALD is gone. Let her crew rest.

I believe this was the ship that was with the Edmund Fitzgerald on it's last trip and actually went back out into the storm to search for survivors. Hats off to Bernie Copper , Captain of the Arthur M. Anderson at the time, for his bravery and dedication.
