Draggendrop Veteran Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Looks like the count is set for 00:21 UTC, and monitoring......they are pushing the temp loss....count running...but, may not launch still. note/ that's a 30 min sit for temp increases Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I'd say there's a civil case as a launch day costs about $500k minimum. As to what the USCG does, dunno. I imagine he could be cited. Count resumed, pending the idiot clearing the zone. 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggendrop Veteran Share Posted February 29, 2016 Notice to Airmen and Mariners are issued by respective offices, it is up to those in the operations of their vessels and aircraft to be aware. This is serious and fines should also be imposed, as well as a situation review with offenders. Some one is going to have a bad day. 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
