Most Interesting Story Ever!

Today is Aaron's going away party. Aaron and I go way back... long story short, he is kind of a hippie (not in the sense of a real hippie, but in the sense that he is an awesome guy...kind of a hippie :)) I know it's confusing, but he is. He is moving to Pasadena in LA, and going to work at a start up IT company there. Hoping to get a trophy wife and a super car with in 5 years.

Anyhow, a few people showed up. Some are from his work, and some are his outdoor activity buddies. Oh yeah, Aaron is into rock climbing (real ones, not just indoor), and also hang gliding. Therefore, his hang gliding instructor, Tom, was there too.

Then, S showed up (real name is not used cuz the following event is currently involved in a legal matter) . Tom called him the "Captain". We were all curious about that. S said... "I am no a captain now, I sunk my ship." ....... Huh?
"My payload sunked...."..... Huh?
"Well... I was shipping these two huge cranes about 200 ft each to point A (again, a $50million law suit is going on).... And they just collapse..." Oh... I see.......wait WHAT?
"You know...crains...for construction.... I was on the tug boat.. and they were on the aircraft carrier size ship... the weather...etc etc..... they collapse because they were too old. Just thank god no one got hurt"......that's nice... BUT what happened???

Exactly.... what happened??? It turned out that it was very windy back in December, and big cranes aren't just that good to be shipped around.... especially during windy time... all the waves and wind weaken the structures of the cranes...so even thought they were wielded to the ship with 8 2inch thick pipes, these pipes still got torn like paper! The worst part was that the tug boat was connected to the loaded ship with a 3.5 inch thick steel cable! If the loaded ship was going to go down.... nothing can stop it.... Just glad that no one was hurt. Also, on the way back, they hit 2 solid curls that were 30 feet high!

This captain is such a character! He said after he got back... he went to Halifax to relax with his other captain friends... and drank themselves stupid.... then they asked him what happend, S said "if I tell you now, we have to drink all over again!" hahahaha

I won't say anything more about the case or about S so hopefully this won't be found during the trial or affect any potential jurors.
But god dang, this is probably the most interesting story told by a real person I have ever heard.
