SomeBeach Posted September 16, 2013 #5109 Share Posted September 16, 2013 From what I read earlier on the parbuckle site we should be beyond the 20% point where the intake valves on the sponsons have reached sea level. From one shot of the port side the bottom of the sponsons are in the water. Engineers or ship friends posting here: is this the point where they would start to fill the sponsons?

Rare tofubeast Posted September 16, 2013 #5111 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) It's eerie. There are a couple windows (1 and 2 decks above the bridge) that look like there is a light on behind them. I'm sure it's just the spotlight reflecting on the glass, but it sure looks as though there are lights on.

SomeBeach Posted September 16, 2013 #5113 Share Posted September 16, 2013 From what I can tell, the various links posted here are from the same live feed. There may be some time delays depending on which you are watching. I would guess that each news outlet subscribed to the live feed coming from Giglio.
