I think the water levels in the cut channels is OK, but the level in the associated lakes is falling. Aaah. At last.... an environmentally friendly way to cure the pirate problem. A solution that won't need any american weapons to achieve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Simple solution. Off load from the ' oversized shipping. Transport on multiple smaller boats that have less depth. It will keep the Panamanian people in work & their economy healthy.. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It was originally designed to be deeper. The total lift is not very much but will cost lots as Ships are also bigger now. Nev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Did you know that those bigger ships would be unnecessary if countries started up manufacturing their own products instead of importing the cheapest stuff that they can find, from other countries? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 You may know this. I didn't, I didn't even know it was a thing. A post came up on Facebook explaining why airlines detour around the Tibetan plateau. It's not due to military domination or restrictions, and only partly due to turbulance over the mountains. It's because the plateau is 14,000 ft high, and if the aircraft suffered a decompression, it would not be able to descend to the safe level of 10,000 ft. Besides, there are no suitable airfields to make an emergency landing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
