NYT reports that one of the US aircraft carriers has to withdraw to port due to a laundry room fire. About 600 sailors lost access to their bunks.
The fire, according to two officials, began in the vent of a dryer in the ship’s laundry facilities and quickly spread. Sailors battled the blaze for more than 30 hours, officials and sailors said.
The Navy did not respond to a request for comment. Central Command said in its statement that the fire caused “no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant, and the aircraft carrier remains fully operational.”
Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that U.S. aircraft carriers aren’t safe.
Was this U.S. aircraft carrier safe?
About as good as one expects out of a Ford.
This is hilarious for the way it makes clear that he was never helping her whatsoever, lmao. He entirely vanishes in his way, the lass barely moves. Seems like a metaphor or something, idk.
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
I just noticed your display name. Nice.
The whole profile, even!
Well, now that you point that out, I notice that most of their comments are playing on the theme. lol. Must surely be a multi, or maybe they just don’t say much, but that is crazy. And fun. :)
It’s a great pleasure. Thank you.
I’ll call you a cab, shall I?
The ones that are safe?
Yeah, the ones the vent doesn’t catch fire
THere’s nothing out there… there’s just sailors, and dirty laundry, and no bedding… and a fire.
Nice #TheFrontFellOff homage
Well, are there any design constraints? What are they?
Well, non-flammable vents for one thing
Or maintaining vent filter cleaning schedules.
This happens in homes as well. I knew a family who lived in a semi-remote Ontario area whose 2 yr old house burned to the ground because someone put a load into the dryer, then left for work. By the time the volunteer fire dept got there it was too late.
