Sandy Sinks HMS Bounty, Knocks Off Gawker Websites

Black Parrot writes "Several news sites are reporting that the 1962 replica of the HMS bounty was lost at sea due to hurricane Sandy, about 90 miles off North Carolina. The latest news I find says 14 of 16 crew rescued, one drowned, and the Captain still missing." And on land, the combination of wind and water surges knocked off Gawker sites and the Huffington Post for a time, and forced the evacuation of NYU's Langone Medical Center. Did it affect you?

Re:WTF were they even doing at sea?

[crazyjj]

in a hurricane a ship is safer at sea than in port

For the hundredth fucking time, you blithering idiots, NO IT'S NOT!

In port, the crew can exit the ship, seek shelter, and NOT FUCKING DROWN TO DEATH.

I hope I never have to hire any of you morons as engineers.
