Sad for this awesome crew member.

Kay ingat tayo palagi. Always remember, not because it did not happen before, it will not going to happen later (if the poor practice is tolerated)

A mooring rope parted at a point about 14 metres from the eye and hit the head of the ship's OS, leaving him prone and bleeding between the mooring winch and the control stand. He was later declared dead at the hospital that same evening. Find out more about the accident inside the article.

The colored dots represent the AIS signals from ships (as detected by satellites) today, 29 May 2016 at about 0100 UTC captured from BigOceanData (not a free service).

The yellow triangle represents the Bermuda Triangle (Miami, Bermuda Island & San Juan, Puerto Rico)

If the Bermuda Triangle Mysteries were true, these over a hundred ships inside the triangle should have disappeared.

"....there is no mystery about strange disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle....the "mysterious disappearances" and the story was basically created by mistakes, mystery mongering, and in some cases outright fabrication — all being passed along as fact-checked truth.

You nailed it, Mr. Hanks!

Tom Hanks on the Merchant Marine:
"I was actually quite dazzled..you see these ships all over the world and you don't think much of them, you don't realize how many people are on board or how difficult they are to run. It doesn't look like a glamorous job, and it's not, but it's an important one, and there are stresses that you can't even begin to believe or fathom. I think the standard myth about it is it's a rag-tag group of men and some women who get together and paint the same bulkhead over and over again. But in fact they have a lot of pressure on them...it's a very dangerous job, as well as an important one and you have to actually be accomplished in order to get it done. I was very impressed with how hard it is, how much is involved in doing so much as loading a bunch of containers on a 585 foot ship and getting them halfway around the world."
