    That looks expensive. Its just a matter of time a ship looses directional control and collides with one of those.

    It's actually a part of the continuous process improvement. They're supplementing the wind power with wave-energy capture devices but using the same infrastructure. Sort of a twofer.

    I'm amazed how flimsy the blades seem to be. I know these are not the stresses they were designed for, but that one on the ship side seemed inordinately fragile and floppy, even considering it hit the ship and had a tagline attached.

    For topical application, only. Not to be taken internally or used in com-
    bination with other drugs or alcohol, except as directed by your shaman.
    Do not operate heavy equipment, unless you actually know how to.

    The crane didn't drop anything. There was a rigging failure...

    You ever watch the wings on the airplane you are flying on as you taxi along? Or as you fly through turbulence?
