BREAKING: Fire reported on nuclear submarine in Maine( update)

Obama watches?

Well -- this was a bit concerning; but I think we can declare...

DOOM OFF!

he's prolly already smoked
a whole pack of Marlboro reds
since 6:30 pm

on 9/11, just when we thought
the fires were out ....

3 buildings collapsed

Das Boat may smoke for hours, but that doesn't mean that flames are present any longer. Chatter seems to indicate the flames are out. I hope so anyway. I could be wrong of course...

Hope so but I'm not taking my eyes off it yet.

just piecing together the info. at one point they said moving to or was in the engine room. Also, brought in foam for the fire. the vrla batteries would require foam. not sure if forward compartment would be mistaken for just the forward part of the sub. battery compartment, its not far and is in between the forward compartment and engine room. at one point they mention they were worried about the fire melting through the hull, vrla if they had issues, react violently with metals and water.

is the sub moving ???

the smoke source is moving to the right
on the webcam.

again, the real concern, fire or not, is if the coolant is circulating around the core..... regardless of control rods...

'DING' 'DING' NOW DEPARTING ...USS MIAMI may she rest in peace.

Uh oh, what's a "knock down"?

[link to www.pressherald.com] - Portland, Maine Press Herald - it's still going as of 12:30am

They have fire aft! Looks like it not over.

Yeah if the fire is out then I'd expect the smoke to start to lessen, not move to the right.

You heard this?

DANG.

So it IS still going, they're just not talking about it on our scanner feed anymore.

DEVIOUS!!! Grrr. Why do they need to keep us in the dark?

And...not very good news at all.

Yes, five fighters went in and confirmed fire was aft.

*helpless shrug*

well, thanks for the update, and also thanks to the AC who posted those MSM links.

because they moved to military/ para-military line is why....

North Korean news has it now ....hold tight for diplomatic blowback!

Sorry don't post commi links

yup..I suppose it depends on the definition of forward..the battery compartment is sort of forward but it's also sort of closer to amidships..who knows at this point? the fact that someone said they were spraying around the reactor and the fire was moving aft sort of concerns me though

you heard that term on the 911
recordings from 9/11 from the
Fire Chief who made it up
to the fires.

"there's 2 pockets of fire,
we can knock it down with
2 lines, radio that, radio that"

Three have come out, three fighters still remain in boat...

agreed. something isnt right.

"knock down"

usually referred to as in "knock down the fire"

according to "Backdraft"
cant remember if it was axe or bull...think it was bull

From wiki-

Aft, in naval terminology, is an adjective or adverb meaning, towards the stern (rear) of the ship

The reactor is in the aft of the ship-

I pray the flames dont reach the flex capacitor

According to your own pic....you are wrong.
Derp!

Possible move of three fighters moving towards the weapons storage...
