The newspaper says the Queen Mary 2 is taller than the Statue of Liberty
- can generate enough power to light a small city, is longer and heavier

Don't I know it. I was talking to some NYFD guys at the New Orleans
Workboat show. They said their existing fireboats fire monitors (water
cannons) wouldn't be able to reach the upper deck.

The suggestion to allow the fire to burn down a few decks to where they
could reach it was not greeted with enthusiasm.
