Very interesting topic, I've been reading up on it the last couple days to catch up on my ATS news!
I was a passenger aboard the Carnival Splendor that was "dead in the water" for 3 days before being towed into San Diego's port.
After the initial "fireless" smoke, that took out 3 main aft engines we were left drifting in the sea for a day and 1/2 before the tow boats came to help pull us in. During this time however the military surveillance was massive. The US Coast Guard was first on the scene, along with the Mexican Navy, then our Navy, the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, and the cruise director also said a submarine. All of this military presence stayed with our ship. with jets and helicopters flying overhead often, the whole way back into San Diego's port. I've seen cruise ships have trouble, on tv, before (this was my first cruise!), but I don't recall them having such a strong military convoy to accompany them.
I just wonder if this ties in with the suspected Chinese missile, as it was in our proximity. We will probably never know, but I could have been smack dab in the middle of an international incident.
And, btw, even though there was reports of Spam being served, I can say that we never saw any, Poptarts either for that matter, and I would have loved one!
The “immediate effect” of the Chinese Navy’s firing of their EMP missile, this report continues, was the “catastrophic crippling” of the US based cruise ship Carnival Splendor [photo 3rd left] that stranded its nearly 4,500 passengers and crew in a “dead in the water” boat and prompting the Americans to send the US Navy’s Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, warplanes, and supply aircraft to protect it from further attack after all of its electronic systems were destroyed.
An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) such as was used upon the Carnival Splendor is a burst of electromagnetic radiation that causes rapidly changing electric fields (or magnetic fields) that when coupling with electrical/electronic systems produces damaging current and voltage surges destroying all non-hardened electrical systems.

I understand there were about 4500 passengers. Were you people aware that someone was dead on board (I just posted a news item I found this morning)?
Was someone carried out in a body bag?
The article clearly says this person died ON BOARD, not 'was on board and died after wards' because after all, that wouldn't be news-worthy if you think about it.
So, what's going on?
Any connection?

There was no missile launch notice. It has been covered on ATS several times and continues to pop-up all over the Internet.
The NOTAM that continually comes up. Check the date. Outside the time of the 8th November event and not in the area. Also check the height 39,000 feet. Ballistic missiles don't stop at that height!
KZLA LOS ANGELES A2832/10 – THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS ARE REQUIRED DUE TO NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER WEAPONS DIVISION ACTIVATION OF W537. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, ALL NON-PARTICIPATING PILOTS ARE ADVISED TO AVOID W537. IFR TRAFFIC UNDER ATC JURISDICTION SHOULD ANTICIPATE CLEARANCE AROUND W537 AND CAE 1176. CAE 1155 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. CAE 1316 & CAE 1318 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. CAE 1177 WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. W537 ACTIVE, CAE 1176 CLOSED. SURFACE – FL390, 09 NOV 20:00 2010 UNTIL 10 NOV 01:00 2010. CREATED: 08 NOV 20:52 2010
The other one brought up is the Notice to Mariners. These have been published for decades and updated every week. There would have to be a NOTAM issued for such a ballistic missile launch.

Well I have to admit, the old adage, a picture is worth
a thousand words is very true.

Well I have to admit, the old adage, a picture is worth
a thousand words is very true. I have been studying
on this event for a whole week. I think I have seen every
pic and video there is and twisted and turned every one
of those pics in an editor hoping to find the smoking
gun for this missile theory. And after a week, I found it.
The above image is from the helicopter video. It is unedited
except for color and highlight layers I took out to bring those
background contrails into better view.
As you can see, there are 2 contrails in this image.
1 big one in the foreground and 1 smaller one in the background.
And what sealed the smoking gun for me is when they
intersected each other and a big cloud of smoke where
they intersected.
This is my theory of the timeline of events.
1) Chinese launch Ballistic Missile from Jin Sub.
2) US Air Defense boards lit up like a Christmas Tree
with early warnings.
3) US Launches smaller missile to intercept Chinese
missile. See how the US Missile contrail is much
smaller. It's probably a PAC-II.
4) US Missile intercepts and explodes near Chinese
Missile but does not destroy it. But it does knock
it off it's trajectory, thus the sharp corresponding
course changes after the explosion.
5) Chinese Missile continues to target.
6) US Gov denies a missile launch cuz they
are embarrassed they didn't save America
from this aggression. Had this been designed
to inflict serious damage to the US. They would
have succeeded in penetrating American Defense.
7) Once again, the US Air Defense is red-faced.
last time it was the US Navy.
Sorry folks, it was a Chinese Missile
not US808 from Hawaii.
The second intersecting contrail confirms it,
unless you think the US is trying to shoot
down commercial airliners?
