As a marine engineers I can say: This is the good outcome, this **** is just about as scary as a boiler hydrogen fire.

cursedjester (11/24/2015) [-] With a chain that weighs that much and the speed it was going at, the bad outcome would've probably been taking half the deck with it or tearing a hole.

My brain added an "of" to this which made the headline a lot more excited. "7,000-ton ship full of speed". Like damn, I've head of drug smuggling but that's a whole new level, probably worse than a whole gallon of PCP.

barakakaka (11/23/2015) [-] I guess its either a malfunction of the mechanism that locks the chain of the anchor or the guy who was supposed to take it easy didn't take it easy and the anchor went too fast for the machine to stop it. Either way the chain failed to stop and since it had already grabbed on the seabed it couldn't be retracted or stopped, or stop the ship.

Kazseppi (11/24/2015) [-] Towards the end of the chain you can see some links are painted yellow, that means you're too close to the end of the chain. Although you can't see it well after the yellow part is a red painted part. You see that and the anchor hasn't hit bottom yet you're ****** . This was going so fast the colors didn't really matter but y'know.
Basically get the hell out of there if you see yellow. In this case they should have left sooner than that.

Kazseppi (11/24/2015) [-] A shot of chain is 15 fathoms, or 90 feet. It seemed to be going at about a shot a second for the last 20 seconds before detaching. That alone is 1800 feet of chain. the chain that was put out when they lost control that was going slower for about 25 seconds so maybe another 900 or 1000 or so. THEN the amount of chain they put out before they lost control. But that was probably only a few shots. I'd just guesstimate 3000 feet I guess lol. That's a long ass chain.

Kazseppi (11/24/2015) [-] Well, they should have a depth reading with the ships equipment. So they should already know somewhat the length they need beforehand. But you want to put out more than the depth is, otherwise you just kinda notice it I'm assuming. Something like 3 times the depth. If they don't have the equipment to read depth there are always charts you can go off of.

mcburd (11/24/2015) [-] Ok no I dont think you ******* realize how ******* scary this **** would be, each of those chain links weighs ~100 lbs, when a brake fails like that you get the **** out. Notice the way the last link ******* shot out? That **** was ******* welded to the inside of the ship.
Thats why you do regular ******* maintenance and inspections you lazy ***********

notred ONLINE (11/24/2015) [-] if any machine fails that's not in a cage you generally wanna get out of the vicinity, after hitting the emergency stop button then wait till it either breaks itself or stops.
I'm pree sure this anchor doesn't have an emergency stop, if it did then obviously it ain't workin with how much weight was put on the breaks.

fourfangedferret (11/24/2015) [-] I reckon they are a good deal heavier than 100 pounds. Those links are thicker than my arms by a good amount. Lets say they are a meter and a half if you opened one out, and what, 15cms in diameter? So thats roughly 45 cm squared, times 150 is 6.75k, times by what a cubic cm of steel weighs, roughly 7.9 grams, divide result by a thousand, aaaand... 53 kilos? Huh. Either i ****** up or you were right all along. Disregard all that crap then.

In the beginning the anchor's doing a sick beat, then it became fire.

unladenswallow (11/23/2015) [-] Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to stop the engines/generally cease trying to move forward before you drop anchor?

Yes, but I would assume the person manning the device ****** up or the device malfunctioned during the drop. The last reason would be, the sea bed was to deep in the first place.

twentyseconds (11/24/2015) [-] 1. thoes guys took forever to move to a safer place, soon as the metal caught on fire, thats your que to move to safety.
2. do you guys realize how much EACH link of that anchor costs? yet alone the anchor its self? **** i hope they sent some one to retrieve that.
3. I wonder how that happened. It seems like that guy is controlling it then it went haywire. The thing is shooting out of there and hes just back there cranking something. Im just curious on what his involvement is.

brokentrucker (11/24/2015) [-] I would have shat myself so hard when that **** caught on fire, that I would be propelling myself away from that chaos with the power of my own emergency bowel movement.
