      BIN is going downhill in a hurry especially regarding the censorship of comments. Actually, the comments are the only worthwhile part of BIN, the stories from the “reporters” are nothing but fear porn garbage. BIN won’t be around for too much longer unless they can turn this around in a hurry.

      BIN is sucking the big one right now. :smile:

      You know I smoked a lot of grass
      Oh lord I popped a lot of pills
      But I never touched nothin
      that my spirit could kill
      You know I’ve seen a lot of people
      walking around with tombstone in their eyes
      But the pusher don’t care, ah
      if you live or if you die
      God damn hmm the pusher
      god damn hey I say the pusher
      I say god damn god damn the pusherman

      You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
      with a lot of grass in his hand
      Ah but the pusher is a monster
      good god he’s not a natural man
      The dealer, for a nickel lord
      he’ll sell you lots of sweet dreams
      Ah but the pusher’ll ruin your body
      lord he’ll leave… he’ll leave your mind to scream
      god damn ahh the pusher.
      god damn, god damn the pusher.
      I said god damn god, god damn the pusherman

      Well lord if I were the president
      of this land you know I’d declare
      total war on the pusherman
      I’d cut him if he stands and
      I shoot him if he’d run and
      I’d kill him with my bible
      and my razor and my gun
      god damn aww the pusher.
      god damn… the pusher.
      I said god damn, god damn the pusherman!

              What sank the Edmund Fitzgerald? 6 theories on what caused the shipwreck

              LAKE SUPERIOR — Nobody really knows what caused the Edmond Fitzgerald to sink, but that sure hasn’t stopped people from trying to solve the mystery.

              In the 40 years since the ship went down, a cottage industry of shipwreck theorists have tried in vain to solve the sinking of the Fitzgerald, which rests in two pieces in 530 feet of water on the lake bottom 17 miles north of Whitefish Bay.

              Numerous authors have written books on the tragedy. The U.S. Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board both issued official investigation reports that many dismiss in favor of a theory favored by the Lake Carriers Association.

              Because all 29 men aboard the Fitzgerald went down with the ship — which was there one minute and gone the next — the best accounts that investigators could rely on were those of sailors in the vicinity of the ship during the storm, or who had contact with the Fitzgerald somehow in the weeks prior to her final voyage.

              Some theories are nonsense relating to UFOs or a Great Lakes Bermuda Triangle in the area where the ship sank. Others overlap in some ways. It’s still not completely agreed upon whether the Fitzgerald broke in half on the surface or underwater. The mystery is compounded by mud covering key parts of the wreck and a legal prohibition on further dives imposed by the Canadian government.

              What’s obvious is that wind and waves played a big role in the sinking. In 2006, a National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration study recreated the storm in a computer and discovered that the Fitzgerald and its floating companion, the Arthur M. Anderson, inadvertently steamed into the heart of the storm by taking the northern route across Lake Superior to avoid what they thought would be treacherous waves along the established, more direct southern route.

              In that sense, the Fitzgerald met her fate on the path she took to avoid it. But the Arthur M. Anderson survived and the Fitzgerald did not. So, what happened?

              Below is a breakdown of the main theories. Enjoy.

              Faulty hatch covers caused massive internal flooding

              The first official report on the wreck sparked a flood of second-guessing. In 1977, the U.S Coast Guard pinned the sinking on massive flooding of the cargo hold caused by faulty or poorly fastened hatch covers. The slow flooding supposedly went unnoticed by the captain and crew until it caused an imperceptible but fatal buoyancy loss and eventually sent the Fitzgerald plunging to the bottom. Because the ship had no depth sounding technology, the crew had no way of knowing that incoming water was pushing the ship lower in the water until the flooding exceeded the height of the iron ore in the holds. The Coast Guard cited reports of damage to the Fitzgerald’s hatches that were planned for winter repair.

              Water poured in through a sudden hatch failure

              Gordon Lightfoot liked this theory, posited by the National Transportation Safety Board a year after the Coast Guard issued its report. The NTSB hewed to the Coast Guard line somewhat, agreeing that that non-weathertight hatch covers probably caused flooding during the trip, but the board ultimately concluded the probable sinking cause was “sudden massive flooding of the cargo hold due to the collapse of one or more hatch covers.” The heavy seas overwhelmed a ship that had already lost freeboard and was listing. Contributing factors noted were a lack of internal watertight bulkheads and allowances for more cargo weight during the ship’s 17 years afloat.

              The Fitz hull took a fatal blow on a shoal

              This theory was advanced by the Lake Carriers Association (LCA) after the U.S. Coast Guard report and seems to be the most popular among mariners and armchair wreck investigators. The LCA thinks the Fitzgerald grounded on the poorly-marked Six Fathom Shoal northwest of Caribou Island, causing fatal damage to the hull. If the ship had “hogged” upon striking the shoal, it could have caused the topside damage reported by Fitzgerald captain Ernest McSorley in the hours before the sinking. However, divers found no recent damage to the shoal after the wreck and the ship’s exact course could only be estimated because the Fitzgerald radars were inoperable and the Anderson kept inexact course records during the journey. Of note, the NTSB report included a dissenting opinion that held to this theory. In a similar vein, Paul Hainault, a retired Michigan Tech University professor, postulated a seiche caused the ship to scrape the bottom of Superior Shoal early that morning and the weakened hull eventually gave out.

              The ship was overtaxed and overloaded

              This week, Minnesota tugboat captain Bob Hom, who sailed with McSorley before the man became captain of the Fitzgerald, claims McSorley once told him five years before the sinking he’d hate to be on the Fitzgerald in a big storm because ‘They got it all worn out from years of overloading,’” Hom told the Duluth News-Tribune. “They were killing the boat,” he said. “It was designed to haul a certain amount and they kept getting the Coast Guard to increase the load line.” In fact, the Fitzgerald — known as a workhorse ship that set numerous cargo hauling records — was allowed by 1975 to sit a touch over 3 feet deeper in the water when laden with cargo than originally intended when the ship was launched in 1958.

              The Fitzgerald suffered from structural problems

              Ex-Fitzgerald crew member George Burgner claimed in a deposition that unrepaired cracks and weakened metal on the ship caused the loss, according to the “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Fred Stonehouse. Burgner said a shipyard worker showed him evidence of old keel weld breaks during the 1972-73 winter lay-up that were brought to McSorley and dismissed. The bad welds were confirmed by the Coast Guard, which approved repairs. Theorists have sized upon the permanent lay-up of the Fitzgerald sister ship, the Arthur Homer, in 1980 as indicative of structural deficiency both vessels. In 2009, retired naval architect Raymond Ramsey, who helped design the Fitzgerald hull wrote that the maintenance history, increased cargo loading allowances and construction of the Fitzgerald made her unseaworthy the night she went down. In the Duluth News-Tribune, another former crew member, Jim Woodard, claims the Fitzgerald was a “wet” ship. “She took on water all the time and her tunnels flooded out on her,” Woodward said. “We always had to go down and pump them out.”

              The ship was pushed under by rogue waves

              In 2000, author Hugh Bishop pushed the “Three Sisters” theory about a trio of rogue waves that overwhelmed the Fitzgerald in quick succession. Because of a long fetch on Superior that night, the Fitzgerald and the Anderson were in an area of the lake where huge waves were indeed occurring. MLive meteorologist Mark Torregrossa postulates rogue waves as possible based on the 2006 NOAA storm simulation. A 2010 television episode of Dive Detectives simulated the effect of a 56-foot wave on a scale model of the Fitzgerald. The Anderson’s captain also made statements in 1986 seemingly supportive of the rogue wave theory. Capt. Jesse B. Cooper told an audience in Wisconsin the Anderson was struck from astern that evening by a pair of huge waves, which rolled over his ship and continued on toward the Fitzgerald. “I’ve often wondered whether these two particular seas might have been the ones that finally did the Fitzgerald in, because they were really huge,” he said.
