The sinking of MS Estonia: Case Reopened Part VII

[Mojo]

What does GT mean and how is it calculated compared to DWT?

Gross tonnage = 144 tons, obvs.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Gross tonnage = 144 tons, obvs.

Long tons or metric?

 

[Mojo]

Long tons or metric?

African or European?

Why would it even need a casing? It's not as if people were going to need to take it home to work on it in their living rooms with “home DIY welding kits”.

Maybe it's to keep the bow dry?.....

I think you're lying. I think all you ever had was the cover page and you're trying to make as much hay out of it as possible. Earlier you told us you wouldn't post them for lack of interest. Now you've changed your story to say they're too extensive. Post the page from the report that has a "Findings" section heading.

What a ridiculous accusation. FYI I am not in the habit of lying, if you wouldn't mind dropping that language.

You are most certainly in the habit of lying about your sources. I think you're lying about this one too. It's the most parsimonious explanation for your unwillingness to offer any proof that you possess the evidence you claim.

Post the reports. Put up or shut up.

Which one would you prefer?

OK, you are in the habit of being economical with the actualité.

 

[Mojo]

Which one would you prefer?

Whichever you can actually manage.

 

[JayUtah]

Which one would you prefer?

Start with the one corresponding to the cover letter.

 

[Vixen]

Start with the one corresponding to the cover letter.

Your wish is my command.

 

[JayUtah]

Your wish is my command.

It’s your obligation to provide evidence you say you have to support your claim. When may we expect you to post the first report in its entirety?

 

[Mojo]

I won't hold my breath.

Just an occasional vice, then?

As I said to another poster I got the 15kg mixed up with the Atlantic bolt.

For the record, I have never mistaken the bow visor for the Atlantic Lock...

Just an occasional vice, then?

She didn't mistake the bow visor for the lock. She just got them mixed up. I'm sure there's some semantic quibble of a difference between mistaking one for the other and getting them mixed up, that she's willing to beat to death in order to avoid admitting a mistake.

I wonder if Vixen is willing to make a straight honest admission that she was incorrect and a mistake when she said the weight of the Estonia was 15,000 tons.

Considering she keeps making the mistake after repeated correction, no.

If you were that good at holding your breath you could pop down and give us a first hand report..

I refer you to the Battista quote in my sig..

Wind isn't water.

Water being approximately eight hundred times as massive as a similar volume of air.
