There was a large Navy ship cruising off shore about 5 miles out, that ship was visible out my passenger window for about 20 minutes and I was driving at normal freeway speeds.

Normally the Sheriff is an elected county official, not attached to or controlled by a city mayor. I could see the mayor having jurisdiction over the Chief of Police, but not a Sheriff. In their own county, normally a county sheriff has more power than a state governor. It does seem that this guy needs some anger management help.

He should have taken charge and so on down the chain of command. It looks like Carnival Corp needs to hire crews that are professional.

Having said that, there are some additional responsibilities connected with driving heavy vehicles. Watch your following distances, and drive very defensively. Respect the smaller vehicles on the road. One time I had a small car run into me, I felt a small bump and it ripped the small car apart. Just put a small crack in my bumper. Thank God no one was hurt.

I'm sure that they realize that with just the assets that we currently have in the area we could obliterate their entire "navy" in under an hour. I suspect that they are not stupid enough to make any aggressive moves against our vessels, or oil carriers.

This kid has some natural talents and they should be put to good use. Maybe I have watched too many movies but it seems to me that, with proper training and direction, his talents could be put to use in some kind of special-opps roll, this assumes the he will actually take direction. The kid is technically savvy, gutsy, seems to lack the normal fear response that most of us have, is aggressive but still a bit refined and doesn't seem to be mentally ill. He needs some polishing to make him useful.

After taxes, they will have enough left to buy a a few new 737's, about four 787's, or a few days worth of fuel for their fleet.

The semi was stopped or moving slower that the pickup and the school bus driver should have seen this and started breaking long before the pickup rear ended the semi. Both school buses were following to close. The pickup driver was an idiot, but the school bus drivers have responsibility in this also.

In my opinion $382,112 is not a small amount of money. This is what is wrong with government in general. How many people's taxes did that eat up? How much did it cost you?

Based on the story, even the flying parts should have been north of the point of impact. I think we need more details here.
