Certainly and I understand. Then they shouldn’t be allowed in port without assistance from a tug.
It’s laughable to have one engine go down and this to happen. Either have incredible redundancy internally, or have it with external support.[/quote]

While I will watch most any type of motorsport NASCAR is my least favorite. That day I was flipping channels and just stopped on the race maybe 2 laps before the accident.
