I wonder if #Trump knows that #disaster #relief is not the only mission #FEMA has? He has probably not heard of Continuity of #Government. I mean, apparently the new #FEMA director didn't know about #Hurricane seasons (despite that being on front page of FEMA website). Hilarious.

Thanks @wardcarroll.bsky.social and @justin-br0nk.bsky.social for the best analysis I've seen of #Ukraine #OperationSpiderWeb #attack on #Russia using #FPV #drone to attack #strategic #nuclear #bombers. Justin's #military knowledge and ability to explain is amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmAI...

Next time I hear someone saying they rely on #starlink for #backup or #emergency communications, I will show them this. Not the first time #elonmusk has threatened to withdraw a service when in a #tantrum. Don'y rely on services from children. #emcomms #civildefence #amateurradio

What Happened on the Bridge of the Dali during the Four Minutes After They Lost Power? YouTube video by What's Going on With Shipping?

Amazing summary of #ship #bridge audio from the #dali #allision in #Baltimore by @mercoglianos.bsky.social. Shows that #harbour #pilots did a great job under the circumstances. #maritime #shipping #marine #accident #NTSB #tug www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAxi...

I wonder how many conscripts they need shovelling coal to build up steam to get under way?

Fortunately nobody is constructing #navy #warships from #aluminium any longer so the #USS #Belknap problem won't be repeated ... er, what was that about #LCS #LittleCrappyShips? ... @mercoglianos.bsky.social @wardcarroll.bsky.social

Given that #munitions have been expended at greater rates in recent years, might #navies start "scraping the bottom of the barrell" and fielding older & less stable #ordnance (sent to UA etc) so this type of risk increases? @wardcarroll.bsky.social

DAMAGE CONTROL: Why Battleship NJ Was the Best At It YouTube video by Battleship New Jersey

#Battleship #BB62 #museum published a great #YouTube video on #Navy #DamageControl referring to #USSForrestal #fire etc & #RoyalNavy #FalklandsWar lessons. Old #munitions less stable, #aluminum burns better, etc. @mercoglianos.bsky.social @wardcarroll.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWe6...

One NZ looking for solution to make fibre lines resilient to rats Rats chewed through a fibre cable near Dunedin.

On the latest Whats Going on With #Shipping @mercoglianos.bsky.social cites a great #Reuters article on

I feel sorry for @mercoglianos.bsky.social. Must be hard recording #YouTube #videos about #shipping with so much uncertainty caused by #Trump #MAGA #Tariffs. No wonder his latest episode is a bit of a #ship show. #maritime #marine #China #trade #IMO www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po2p...

#NewZealand National Emergency Management Agency has issued the following update: National Advisory: Tsunami activity – expect strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges at the shore #eqnz #earthquake #tsunami

Home

Emergency Mobile Alert issued to south of South Island of #NewZealand. #eqnz Evacuations not required but potential danger near coastline. No threat to land. Stay away from beach and water. Strong and unusual currents may be experienced.

Magnitude 6.7 #earthquake 33km deep currently being evaluated for #tsunami #threat by #NewZealand National Emergency Management Agency #CivilDefence. www.civildefence.govt.nz

Update - revised to 33km deep. Higher risk of effects on the surface.

Its been revised to 6.7. Key thing is it is about 100km deep which reduces effects on the surface.

'Explosive activity' at Whakaari/White Island There's evidence of "ballistic blocks" being ejected up to 600m high.

And just in case the M6.9 quake down south wasn't enough, Whakaari/White Island has become active again - apparently "throwing rocks" 600m into the air! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake occurred 140 km south-west of Tuatapere, New Zealand on Tue Mar 25 2025 2:43 PM. The quake was 101 kilometres deep and the shaking was strong close to the quake. The quake may have been felt in Alexandra, Ashburton, Balclutha, Dunedin, Fairlie, Geraldine, Gore, Haast, Hokitika, Invercargill, Lumsden, Methven, Milford Sound, Mount Cook, Oamaru, Palmerston, Quee...

Reportedly a magnitude 6.9 #earthquake just offshore from the South Island of #NewZealand. Magnitude may change as further analysis is carried out. #eqnz www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/2...

Astounded by some of the dumb comments by #MAGA idiots on @wardcarroll.bsky.social latest live stream. I'm reminded that half the population have below average intelligence. But how can #democracy work when there is such widespread stupidity?

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
