How is it in 2020 with 4K cameras on every phone that video quality can be so horrid most of the time? I just don't get it.


People don’t upload using WiFi. Instead they upload using cell because they want to be the first to upload.

Then you have multiple sharing and downloads of the original video and it further compresses the pixel.

Drives me crazy too.

Why didn't those three guys in the dingy throw a rope around the front railing on the burning boat and tow it out away from the dock?
Looked to me like they tried but I’d guess the heat was too intense to spend too much time close enough to tie off.

Yeah they tried to come in parallel with it and had to back off. Looked like they could of circled around and came straight into the bow hook and tied on to back it out. But then again I wasn't there to make those split second decisions. That shit was intense.

I thought the same thing but then figured the heat was too much....they also probably realized yeah lets tow a flaming boat around.... their first thought should be stay safe let the professionals deal with it... What if the boat explodes if they are next to it towing it......they are too injured or worst.

If you have 6-10 feet of chain on your anchor... could drop it in and hold onto the rope and pull the boat ... at least until the fire burns away the rope that’s too close.

Having a box anchor.... not going to happen.

Dingy likely no anchor
