Was anyone in it? [grin]


My dad works at Bath Iron Works, a major shipbuilder for the US Navy - and all the launches they do have a limited number of tickets available for people ride the boat as it goes down the rails and into the water. Though they don't send it sideways, so it's much safer.

Wow, they actually have those? What is it like inside? Do people stand and stuff? What about safety?

The launches at BIW were similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuo7-CclA2o&feature=related

As you can see, it was quite gentle and there were people aboard at about midship.

Aw, I was hoping it would be a tilt shift video.
