With Boots &amp;amp; Coots firefigfhers and Titan Salvage all we need is JohnWayne to play the role.  The possible pollution factor is alarming; how often it is almost! I read into this, somewhere we have licensed people either not doing their job properly, or are incompetent  or not supervising . Slack tanks is one thing, but deballasting a sea is unbelieable. There is always the possibility that the bridge watch officer was assigned this "routine" task. Many ship have ballant controls on the bridge .  Except for some heroic efforts, Alaska would be involved in another oily mess.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">John Denham</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:20:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: M/V Cougar Ace - Marine Salvage Through A Geek&amp;#8217;s Glasses | gCaptain.com</title><link>http://gcaptain.com/maritime/blog/salvage-throught-a-geeks-wired-magazine-glasses/#comment-1349321</link><description>Wow, this must be the most epical job ever.&lt;br&gt;Reminds of the movie 'Armageddon'.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Bart VdV</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:20:24 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
