San Diego really is a beautiful city. It's surprisingly green and fertile looking compared to LA or SF. I really hope it stays that way for ever even if it grows beyond mt. San Miguel and Otay mountain in the future.
I was in San Diego for 3 months in 1994. All I remember is boot camp at MCRD. Screaming at the airlines flying out of the airport. Looking at the houses with red roof tiles on the hills while standing on line in our barracks. Good times but I have never been back after graduation :)
@@macleankelly9929 I moved back to Duluth, Minnesota after I honorably discharged out the USMC at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I like the upper midwest and Lake Superior :)
Yow! Talk about shades of Pearl Harbor (1941)!! Richard's forward mast has fallen forward just like Arizona's did after she exploded! My thoughts go to the naval men and women AND the firefighters who handled this disaster!
had the fire suppression system not been disabled, and the contractors having flammable equipment and supplies laying all about the ship, this would have been a non new article because it would ahve been over before the local media found out about it happening. no major casualties, only minor ones, smoke inhalation and heat stress injuries.
I think a warship, that lays in port with best firefighting infrastructure, is nevertheless burning for days, is a construction flaw! Imagin what could happen when the ship is on fire, on high seas, without help nearby!?! 😨😨😨
You couldn't be farther from the truth! The ship was in-port getting scheduled work completed, and MANY WTD (Water Tight Doors) had to remain open due to cables and other items. If this ship had just pulled into a foreign port or was at sea, the ship's crew would have immediately closed all of the WTDs to contain the fire by restricting oxygen in the damaged areas. The Navy two biggest enemies are fire & flood, so Navy ships are built to be able to combat those. The ship was constructed just fine...it was the scheduled work that prevented a quick response.
Imagine an inport maintenance period with hoses fouling hatches versus at sea with the capability to isolate the fire, not to mention the halon system.
Thaddeus Warman, wrong, there isn’t a halon suppression system where they’re suspecting this started. There is AFFF sprinkling. It however was more than likely tagged out due to firemain being down.

republican mayor.
Hey look there's my house!
I wonder IF Brownsville Tex. Ship Scrapping Yard has any spare parts?
Just wondering.

Was it Arson ?
Looks like its ready to flop over. All hands on deck.!
i hope all alive and nobody is dead. This ship is so much damaged. Normaly the Chrew is trained for fire and damaged control. This is not normaly.

It now has a list to port instead of a list to starboard
Connor W something called the free flow (?) effect. Water moving from one side of ship to the other. Should be ok when they dewater her.
Have the million gallons of fuel and ordnance been removed?
no ordnance onboard during overhauls. Fuel was separated from fire by several decks. that could of been a big problem trying to get that fuel off
is this what would of happened if she was hit in battle?
In battle damage would have been different. A lot worse in fact.
There's a brand new one in Norfolk Va rite now

Being in port there is worse firefighting infrastructure than at sea.
They had to turn off halon the fire suppression system because of matnince

San Diego's only export is WAR, $26,000,000,000/year, and they can't even do that right.
Tell that to Iran
@@malekotao3410 pretty sure we aren't at war with Iran, right now. But if we are, then Iran is winning.
