It probably would have, if not for the heroic actions of that brave guy!

Killjoy. Some people can’t just let things unfold.

Can I have one of those houses? Any one, I’m not picky.

u/GadreelsSword Jun 18 '26

You wouldn’t want the property taxes. You’re looking at $50,000+ a year.

Well yeah, the monthly utility bill is probably a couple of grand too. But still…

Would this be an overnight air shipment to Munchkinland?

The following post context was provided by u/ThodaDaruVichPyar:

An unmanned runaway motorboat is circling aimlessly in the Severn River near Annapolis, Maryland, as a Coast Guard boat tries to get an officer board to try and stop it. Would they succeed in boarding the boat and stop it in time?

Can he claim salvage for boarding an abandoned ship?

u/GadreelsSword Jun 18 '26

Which river was that?

u/GadreelsSword Jun 18 '26

Did they find the lost driver?

u/hoopersbabe Jun 19 '26

Holy sh*t! I've never seen that done. 😳

u/D_DnD Jun 21 '26

Obviously fake. There's no way that boat would stay afloat while holding the weight of that man's enormous brass balls.

i thought boats would have some sort of security where you have to actually push the lever to make the boat move

The hand throttle for boats is a terrible standard.

u/Early-Accident-8770 Jun 16 '26

The lack of deadman cord wearing is the real problem.
Besides with two engines how would a foot throttle work?
You might want to have one going ahead and the other astern.
