  1. We had a interesting vehicle fire last night in Galax Virginia… A fully involved F-150 subsequently had a magnesium explosion while the Fire Department was hosing it down .. Would you please cover the dangers of self oxidizing metal fires .. like Lithium etc .. and how magnesium or lithium may have played a part in these latest ship fires Thanks .. and all first responders are safe ..

  8. I’m not sure anyone in their right mind would insure that Vehicle…the Blancolirio channel made a good point about the Fiber being wound perpendicular to the axis not biaxially .. like they do paper towel tubes … I saw the video of them epoxy glueing the ends to the tube .. it wasn’t a sterile environment nor the precision facility that I would have expected…

  9. Crossing the Drake Passage.. on an Ice breaker sounds like a rough ride .. if I’m not mistaken they are fairly flat bottomed.. ?

  10. Midway had so many heroes.. Lofton Henderson , The entire Vt-8 squadron Aircrews , the Crews of the B-26’s .. The Yorktown’s crew Did the impossible by getting a jury rigged ship to battle .. Thanks For bringing these unsung heroes to us ..perhaps we could celebrate today as Midway Day

  11. It’s amazing how much more information we get from Sal than from MSNBC …the announcers really looked like they were in over their heads … maybe if they had done their homework ie: watched your channel they could have really asked some better questions

  20. We shouldn’t be surprised by this , because of course Moscow is going to weaponize energy exports … they weaponize everything “ it’s really all they do “ have we not learned our lesson.. Yet ..? These are the joys of being condemned to repeat the history that we forgot…

  21.  @wgowshipping indeed .. we saw the USS Oriskany Safety film .. At Shipboard Fire fighting school .. Also I had no idea they were using that much magnesium in cars .. I drive a Jeep Liberty and the transfer case is notorious for class D fires .. “ I just found out on YouTube “

  22. No Radar either .. and the 25 mm AA was ineffective she only shot down 2 planes during her last day .. but 5 were knocked out of the sky by the blast when her magazine’s exploded

  23.  @GlobalSourcing  indeed…there s also a lot going on there with the continental shelf and the currents and the waves interacting off the headlands.. the currents in the drake passage are how many knots ..? But when dealing with the ocean …no two rogue waves are alike

  30. Is the Juice worth the squeeze..? We will see ..I’m rooting for the sails .. as a kiteboarder I can say the kite idea is kinda crazy.. potential Kitemares with the lines fouling the prop / rudder..

  31. It a horrible thought .. it’s just what the Dictators of the world want .. It’s not Peace .. if your lying on your back clinging to the delusional phantom of Hope

  43. Wow …Great Episode …Thank You to our Author something about this story is so fascinating.. some of these people on these trips …may have a lot of political influence because the feds are getting involved…That ship does have fragile topsides , all those windows.. I’m not sure if I would tempt the Drake Passage beam on ..Maybe on a C-130 .. Pay extra and get the JATO takeoff….
