Boat Launch Fail

NOAA launched one of their ships, the Reuben Lasker, a year ago this month. This was the video released following the launch.



Before you say "but the ship didn't tip over," watch this video, which is making the Reddit rounds now.



According to Reddit, the woman who filmed this is alive. Apparently, the shipyard used wooden rails instead of steel ones to launch the boat, and you can see how that worked.

You may now commence your "government in action" jokes.
