So how long have you been piloting ships?

This happened the other day in Ketchikan.

The accident caused between 2 to 3 million in damages to the dock, and as you can see quite a lot of damage to the cruise ship as well.

Apparently the winds were gusting up to 45 miles per hour, but these ship captains harbor pilots are pros so that is not a very good excuse for an accident of this magnitude.

P.S. Oops I stand corrected. Apparently there are harbor pilots who bring these ships into port. (Learn something new everyday.)

That would remove the fault from the ship's captain and place it on the folks running the harbor.

Now I am really surprised something like this happened.

Only in Alaska.

Well at least nobody got shot.

In Alaska getting hit with a fish is called "getting off with a warning."

Residents of Ketchikan "honor" their Quitter Queen.

Well we have seen more than our fair share of both the sublime and the ridiculous, now get ready for the bizarre.



Now thisis how Alaskans REALLY feel about Snowdrift Snooki, and don't let anybody tell you any different.
