Astronomer Jonathan McDowell at the Center for Astrophysics said the lights are from the Falcon 9 Starlink launch reentering after 22 days in orbit.
McDowell said the streak "was observed from the Seattle area at about 0400 UTC Mar 26," which is 9 p.m. local time.
The Seattle office of the National Weather Service (NWS) agrees. NWS tweeted: "The widely reported bright objects in the sky were the debris from a Falcon 9 rocket 2nd stage that did not successfully have a deorbit burn."
NWS continued, "Based on the observed video, this looks more likely than a bolide meteor or similar object as they would be moving far faster on impact with our atmosphere. There are NO expected impacts on the ground in our region at this time. More info will be posted as it becomes available."

They're blaming it on a "blackout." Like I said though, it seems to beggar belief that it could happen randomly at all. The vessel barely even fits inside the canal and it is turned completely perpendicular to the canal itself. Crazy.
At any rate, I think it's going to be stuck there awhile. Like I said, the bow of the ship is literally dug into the shore. They are trying to use tugboats to tear it loose, but it's hard to even imagine how much that thing weighs, and with it run aground, they're basically trying to pull the full weight of that loaded vessel.

I'd hazard a guess at both the "K" missile containers and trafficking - in which case you'ld want the missiles up top to protect the human cargo from being found?

So they start unloading containers and find children/people?

Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 American servicemen and injuring at least 174. This is one of the most decorated crews in US history, yet the media have buried and misrepresented the attack, and the crew is still awaiting justice. (Documentaries below)
On this day 53 years ago, Israeli forces tried to sink a US Navy ship, the USS Liberty. The prolonged Israeli attack killed 34 men and injured at least 174. The Moorer Commission declared: “…in attacking the USS Liberty, Israel committed acts of murder against American servicemen and an act of war against the United States.”
A team of expert salvors from Smit Salvage (Dutch) have been appointed and are now at the vessel, with salvage operations being coordinated by the Suez Canal Authority, according to BSM.
“The focus now is on dredging to remove sand and mud from around the port side of the vessel’s bow. In addition to the dredgers already on site a specialised suction dredger is now with the vessel and will shortly begin work. This dredger can shift 2,000 cubic meters of material every hour,” the company informs.

Not what i am talking about. I am saying no building of this design to my knowledge ever collapsed before this one or since this one in history due to fire. That is one hell of a record. All that other stuff is fluff compared to that fact. Yes, you are probably correct in your assessment of the news. But no way should that happen due to flames from fuel. The Chemistry does not match the temperature if it did. I have a CRC: Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, bible of the such within one foot of me right now every day. I can tell you that fuel has combustion rates significantly than that is needed to bend steel. And the rivets popping would not allow a free fall straight into the building foot print. The OS is a lie.
Let’s take your points one by one.
"I am saying no building of this design to my knowledge ever collapsed before this one or since this one in history due to fire." This is true simply because this building is a one-off. There is no other building of this design. It had a cantilevered section over a power substation. As I remember, the main beams of the cantilever were 50 feet long but you can look that up.
“But no way should that happen due to flames from fuel.” This was not burning fuel it was burning contents of the offices. No aircraft struck this building. The damage to this building was from falling parts of the WTC towers. The temperature of the fire was estimated at 1100 F, which is common for house fires containing normal combustibles.
Look in your CRC handbook at the table Commercial Metals and Alloys, Miscellaneous Properties in section D (this is on D-184 in my newest copy; look it up under Expansion, coefficient of linear, metals and alloys in section I) and it shows mild steel has an expansion coefficient of 6.7 x 10^-6 inches per inch per degree F. 50 feet is 600 inches. 600 inches x 6.7 x 10^-6 x 1100 and the beam will lengthen by 4.4” which would be enough to shear the fasteners.
“I can tell you that fuel has combustion rates significantly (less) than that is needed to bend steel.” Now look at Temperature and Strength of Metals (engineeringtoolbox.com) and note that at 1100 F, steel has about 30% of its strength at 70 F. Consider the load on the damaged structure and do the calculations for deflection and failure. My bet is that you will find that the steel may not hold up very well under load after losing 70% of its strength.
“And the rivets popping would not allow a free fall straight into the building foot print.”
The building did not free fall. The center collapsed first and then the rest collapsed seconds later.

And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day (Genesis 1:6-8).

In a nutshell, Cern was an attempt to reverse engineer creation. It didn't work out so well. The things that happened because of it were from another dimension. CERN IS finished. This video was from a few years ago. Great video. www.youtube.com...
