Where is DOT Harbors in all of this? This is the second incident in a week at the fishing piers. More vigilance may be needed by DOT in monitoring potential incidents, and with notifying tenants. If this happened at the foreign crew piers, things could be a whole lot worse!

I think there is no denying that global temperatures are rising. Alaska is the perfect example of that by just looking at our glaciers. That being said, the earth has cycles. We have only been keeping accurate records for about 100 years. The possibility of there being a cycle larger than 100 years is entirely possible...
