Intentional sabotage is my optimistic scenario of the most realistic scenario. Any dumbass on the USS Dumbass could have not cleaned out the small lint filter and caused a fire, much less the bigger vents behind the laundromat. 50~ deaths is still something I think the US could conceivably cover-up, but it should be accompanied by a lot of aircraft going to San Antonio/San Diego/Bethesda. Those military hospitals are what foreign ones immediately transport patients to in peacetime, lacking the beds and specialists to do something like neurosurgery or burn recovery across all of the Japanese bases.
but someone's flushing socks, right? or is that also unconfirmed?
The toilets are the same case. Maybe it's sabotage, maybe it's a lack of maintenance, maybe it's teenagers doing stupid shit that results in the same problem homeowners regularly have. I can't say for certain and the only video I thought was legitimate turned out to be from an earlier instance of ship toilets flooding which made me more self-critical toward war claims.
i see. i feel like i also knew it was speculation at some point and then i forgot. embarrassing for me.
Fuck if I know though. Like the Bonhomme Richard, even the investigation won't be reliable. I assume that any trustworthy military account is going to emerge like a decade after it happened.
