Maybe you can answer it Per you live nearby. Over 800 people died and
the swiss govt tried to incase the the whole wreck in cement (never
done before for any reason). Divers recently found a big hole blown in
the side, and sonar scans prove the swiss govt lied about where they
found that visor bow.

Its a sad state of affairs when the swiss govt leaves 800 of thier
fellow citizens bodies on the ocean floor. And the only reason they do
it is to keep others from diving the wreck and finding out what
happened.

What are they hiding? Do you have a clue?

Switzerland does not border an ocean.

If I did I could make a fortune selling the story to the media.



Capt. American

As far as I understand the swiss had nothing to do with this. If anybody it
was the Swedish govenrment. I got disinterested in the whole thing after it
turned into a scandalous affair and really don't know who said what. I am
content that the ship didn't sink the next day because my girlfriend was
scheduled on that very ship the very next day.

Can't we just call it the United States of Europe?
I mean, we were considerate enough to have a civil war just so non-Americans
wouldn't have to memorize a bunch of different names.
BTW - here's a cool map I use whenever I can't remember where I parked my
car, or the currency used in Bhutan.

Another great example of a US citizen not having a clue about
geography....It's a wonder Capt America made it to Hawaii...or maybe he just
thought it was Hawaii?

And it's not Canada's fault they did not "tech" you proper
English....Geography is taught but there is no great emphasis on the
subject. Most children take geography in the late elementary years and by
the time they are in high school, they forget what they learned.

Nice site, Scout. I've been readying a bunch of stuff for a garage sale and
came across the school globe we bought the kids when they were little.
There isn't much right about it anymore. There are countries there that do
not now exist, and visa versa. And all within the space of 25 years. No
wonder people are confused about geography. Geography is confused about
geography.

The borders in Europe have moved around a lot it it true.
It was interesting though, when a few years ago a friend of mine had to
travel to Wurtzberg and the only map of Germany I had was in an 1890 atlas.
All of the cities and towns are still in the same places.

Yes, but it's countries that are studied in Geography....there is no more
USSR as we knew it, there is no longer the Yugoslavia we've known, and in
Africa, it's a wonder some of the people can even remember what their
country is being calaled this week.

Yes in Europe we do not move our citys and towns anymore. We used to but
gave it up when the labour unions grew too strong. Sometimes we annihilate
them though. That was popular about 60 years ago.

How many Americans were killed in Iraq? 60? Why isn't Bob**** protesting
the Swedish gov't and their cover up involving 900 innocent lives. This is
appalling!

I agree with you Scotty, Over 800 for sure died that night and Bobby
could care less. It's the biggest marine loss since WW11 for the
Swedes, and all they wanted to do is incase it in concrete. I think
someone was smuggling arms.
Hmmmmmmmm

Besides as I said earlier, I was so happy that it didn't sink the next day
when my girlfriend was booked to go, that I didn't really care to follow all
those politics. Can you imagine how many opportunists have taken a shot at
making a film about this and the TV stations almost always bought them since
everything that was said about this had such impact and was so important to
the public etc, etc.
