The sinking of MS Estonia: Case Reopened Part VII

Vixen said:
You just made that up.

Nope. Those are the facts.

Brits call it 'winging it', a device much employed by exam candidates, hoping the marker won't spot they haven't a clue but are going to give it a go anyway. Never works. Nobody is fooled. Zero points.

Blah blah bluster bluster blah blah.

Already given.

You do know that investigation bodies are allowed to co-opt and delegate areas of expertise to industry experts?

Yes, that's how I make my living in part. This is not your industry. It's mine. I'm the one telling you how it works.

For example, here is an extract from an article 27.1.1995, clearly referring to Asser Koivisto, who had been referred to the day before:

Provide the portion of the article that identifies Koivisto by name as the expert on EPIRBs. The reference you provided previously to Koivisto quotes him as deferring the questions to others who were the experts. It also quotes the Commission chair wrongly claiming the EPIRBs were "untuned," and wrongly identifies Koivisto as a member of the Commission. Better sources have contradicted this reporting.

D'uh. To make sure they're not faulty? The way I test my home smoke alarms from time to time?
D'uh? :rolleyes:

They cannot be tuned in situu, by the user. You know this. Why do you pretend to be ignorant of established facts? What do you get from it?

Perhaps Vixen "tunes" her smoke detectors?

When I read this thread I'm always careful to put my irony meters in a different room.

That might be sufficient in a normal thread, but under these circumstances we STRONGLY recommend turning off and unplugging any irony meters, then storing them safely in a lead lined concrete room in a different county. I'd recommend in the house of someone you really don't like, might as well get some benefit if you're going to have to replace them anyway!

Where is your source Vixen?

Please give us some sort of official government or manufacturer link that the Kannad 406 F must be manually tuned. NOT a snippet of a paywalled, auto-translated, old article, for whom is even being quoted is suspect...

I own a chalet in a ski resort about 90 minutes away which as you can imagine was built to withstand the weight of metres of snow and which boasts deep cellars hewn out of the mountainside. I fear that even that will not be enough, though.

Is it the one with wheeled submarines?

The one where Brian Braidwood famously defused the bomb on the Rainbow Warrior?

The one where Vladimir Putin was chairman of the KGB (in 1994 no less!)?

Maybe they're all the same dimension. I think it's in Vixen's head.
 
A "Greatest Hits" branch to this would probably be seriously o/t, but it's hard to see what is on topic here, these days.

Oh wow, I'd missed that one.

From an earlier instalment of this thread:
Vixen said:
Brian Braidwood was a specialist Royal Navy diver - he famously defused the Greenpeace bomb - and if he says that is how they did it - assuming he is referring to a separate communication in the other ear - in a highly specialised unit of the Navy then I believe him. Maybe even the microphone was dual.

Tat was when Vixen was claiming there was a secret voice directing the divers and displaying a complete lack of knowledge around underwater communications with 'hard hat' divers, and diving in general.
