Well been gone for an hour and still no progress !
I’m sure those running this are not happy with how this is going but we all have had things not go as planned in our lives. I’m sure they will find a solution.
Hey 👋
This whole damn thing was nothing but an elaborate joke on all who anticipated a glorious, overhyped event for months! All the “preparations and careful planning ” … to con everyone who tuned in to watch a boring, dragged-out, ludicrous exhibition designed to make loyal ship enthusiasts, fans and historians look like fools for watching… NOTHING! I was so flaming mad for wasting my time watching from the very beginning and seeing nothing but occasional ‘live’ views of the old ship being pushed around by attending tugboats and the various, ridiculous interviews conducted by scatter-brained commentators to waste time by filling in pointless spans of hyperbole! Hours passed by, all spent waiting… waiting… hoping… for the big payoff! Results: one of the worse, concocted pranks since the lousy, televised comedy of the Capone vault fiasco hosted by… well, we remember who he was… DON’T WE?
For this blundering broadcast , I’ll never even consider one single donation to benefit the orchestating geniuses behind this mess… the S.S.UNITED STATES CONSERVANCY.
Who thinks it’s sitting port side down ?
Whats up with the music tho.. could be something more patriotic than elevator music..
GOD BLESS THE USA 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸
Which sea creature do you think will make it a home??
