The nuclear-powered submarine USS Connecticut sustained damage after striking an unknown object underwater in the Pacific. While official reports used the broad term "Pacific," other sources indicate the incident occurred in the South China Sea. The collision resulted in several minor injuries to sailors and forced the vessel to return to port for repairs.

A collision between two barges and an oil tanker in the Houston shipping channel results in the spill of 25,000 barrels of "reformate." The hosts investigate the chemical composition of reformate, noting it contains carcinogenic benzene and other aromatics used to boost gasoline octane. They criticize the media for using vague terms like "gasoline product" to downplay the environmental and health risks.

The collision between the USS Fitzgerald and the container ship ACX Crystal off the coast of Japan resulted in the deaths of seven sailors. Vice Admiral Joseph O'Coin and the hosts discuss how a sophisticated warship could be "T-boned" by a slower vessel. While human error is the official focus, the hosts cite reports from former Navy personnel suggesting a widespread equipment or radar malfunction that the military may be covering up.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/939-bigdala/chapter/uss-fitzgerald-collision-with-philippine-cargo-ship.md

The USS Fitzgerald, a sophisticated U.S. Navy destroyer, was severely damaged after being "T-boned" by a Philippine-flagged container ship off the coast of Japan. Seven American sailors were killed in the incident, raising serious questions about how a vessel equipped with advanced 3D radar failed to avoid a much larger, slower merchant ship. Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin and the ship's commander face criticism for the apparent lapse in maritime safety and navigation.

Four Secret Service agents assigned to Hillary Clinton's campaign were involved in a deadly head-on collision in New Hampshire during a snowstorm. The driver of the other vehicle, Bruce Danforth, died at the scene; the hosts speculate on the "fishy" nature of the accident given rumors of friction between Clinton and her security detail.

### Submarine Collisions and Fed Money Printing

Following another naval collision, the hosts revisit the theory that the Iridium satellite network is being manipulated. They also play a clip from Ben Bernanke's 60 Minutes interview where he admits the Fed "prints" money by marking up bank accounts digitally.

### Iridium Satellite Collision, Space Debris Discrepancies

- **Episode:** [81: Naked Vegans in Cages](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/81-naked-vegans-in-cages.md)
- **Published:** 2009-03-19

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/81-naked-vegans-in-cages/chapter/iridium-satellite-collision-space-debris-discrepancies.md

A listener email suggests that the reported collision between an Iridium satellite and a Russian satellite was misreported by the media. While news outlets claimed the event created massive amounts of dangerous space debris, the source claims it was a "glancing blow" with minimal impact. The hosts question why the story was sensationalized if no major explosion occurred.

### Iridium Satellite Network, Global Navigation Warfare Theory

- **Episode:** [76: Iridium Fluoride Marijuana and Pelosi's Puppies](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/76-iridium-fluoride-marijuana-and-pelosi-s-puppies.md)
- **Published:** 2009-03-01

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/76-iridium-fluoride-marijuana-and-pelosi-s-puppies/chapter/iridium-satellite-network-global-navigation-warfare-theory.md

A theory is presented regarding a "full-scale war" between global factions involving satellite collisions and submarine accidents. The Iridium satellite network is identified as a key military-linked infrastructure providing tracking and guidance for commercial aircraft like the Boeing 737-800. The crash of a Turkish Airlines flight in Amsterdam, which carried four Boeing engineers, is suggested as a potential act of industrial or electronic sabotage.

### Satellite Collision, Iridium Corporation and EMP Weapons

- **Episode:** [72: Obama Denver & the New World Order](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/72-obama-denver-the-new-world-order.md)
- **Published:** 2009-02-15

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/72-obama-denver-the-new-world-order/chapter/satellite-collision-iridium-corporation-and-emp-weapons.md

A theory is presented linking a recent satellite collision involving Iridium and a Russian satellite to the Continental 3407 crash. It is suggested that the Department of Defense may have used an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon to disable a Russian spy satellite, inadvertently causing the plane's electronic failure.
