The Tennis match screws up everything in Key Biscayne like nobody's business. Quite frankly, the marine stadium was on Key Biscayne a long time...
I can see trucks using another method because most OTR truckers just leave them idling all night long at the truck stop while they sleep.
No, not that i have ever heard of. CAT records fuel burned and has a fuel burn average and recommends maintanence based on fuel burned or hours....
I also am in the camp that this situation is very far from normal. The only plausible connection for having both shafts break in 300 hours...
What you want to do is a fix in search of a problem. In order for saltwater to corrode things you need oxygen present (air), without that...
What he's trying to say is that fresh water flushing the engine helps prevent some scaling of the heat exchangers. But in reality, it might help...

Wrong, If you read the label on the 5 gallon bucket in the 3rd picture it says "High quality single grade Heavy Duty Diesel engine oil" right...
Well, I'm guessing the HD stands for heavy duty. It appears to be CF-2 rated, so you could use either one.
I certaintly would not want an old WOODEN Broward MY for that voyage.
Yes, the clarity is most impressive. I believe they shortened the 47 minute DVD into that video, not sure if the full length DVD is available.
NTSB link to more photo's...
Looks like they found the wreckage of the El Faro, here are some photo's and video of the wreckage. Video is a lot more interesting than the...
