SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

Safety numbers is fine.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

Does that make sense?

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

Yeah, just weird weight distributions.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

exactly yeah because the water is is flowing and while it's flowing it's got weight to it i mean just say like simply put too you could just have like water go onto the ship heavy amount right it's weighing down the back and then pulling the front forward and then maybe the way from underneath sends it it starts rolling forward and then all of a sudden the weight is shifting and and then yeah then it's just different parts bending back down while it's like being weighed down or being pushed up and

Oh, yeah, Bose ain't supposed to be bending and flexing like that.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

Exactly, exactly.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

True.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

Yeah, the paperclip is like the best example.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

You just bend it back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

And it'll snap.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

Yeah, it just gets worse and worse.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

I mean, it was split, it did sink, so at some point it buckled under the pressure, I gotta say.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

Sink right down.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

And then when it's sinking down, it might just be the pressure pulled from the middle and then snaps it.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

That's the thing too, yeah, it's got to take on water and sure you have certain pockets or for lack of better terms, cutouts on the ship that disperse the water,

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

But it's not like waterproof.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

It's still going to leak into the ship.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

And so if you're just constantly taking on heavy amounts of water, it's going to flow in and then start adding weight.

Red Web
SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

And then you're more susceptible to more water and then just compiles onto itself.

SS Edmund Fitzgerald | What Caused This Tragic Sinking in the Great Lakes?

finishing the deed toppling it over or shoving it underwater enough that it took on too much water for it to possibly recover right yeah when you're getting hit that quickly the boat's not gonna have enough time to recover so if you're just consistently battering the hell out of it then yeah it's just wild it's just wild to think that you know especially for the other boat that we we could have been that boat we were so close that could have been us
