Source: $400mln anxiety: Navy worker set nuke sub ablaze to finish work early — RTThe $400million in damage caused to the submarine USS Miami was due to a US Navy worker's wish to leave work early due to anxiety, a probe reveals. The painter started a second blaze a month later, agitated after an ex-girlfriend's text message.
Twenty-four-year-old Casey Fury, who was on medication for anxiety and depression, was charged after he "willfully and maliciously set fire to and burned a vessel, namely the USS Miami, together with building materials and supplies located thereon."
