Smashed anti-whaling superboat sinks in Antarctic: activists
(AFP) – 3 hours ago SYDNEY — A high-tech anti-whaling powerboat that was badly damaged in a collision with Japanese fishermen sank overnight after salvage attempts failed, activists said on Friday. The super-fast "Ady Gil" trimaran, which had its front end sheared off in the smash, was being taken to an Antarctic port when the tow line snapped, Peter Hammarstedt, first officer of the "Bob Barker" ship, told AFP. "The Ady Gil was taking on too much water, it became too heavy on the tow. More and more of the vessel was under water," he said. "It was determined it would be only two to three hours before it was fully submerged. At this point unfortunately the Ady Gil is on the bottom of the Southern Ocean." The Bob Barker, which was towing the Ady Gil, has now rejoined the hunt for Japanese whalers along with the "Steve Irwin", another protest ship operated by the Hollywood-backed Sea Shepherd group. The Ady Gil, a sleek, carbon-and-kevlar trimaran, was capable of speeds up to 50 knots (57 miles/93 kilometres per hour) and claimed the round-the-world record in 2008 under its former name, "Earthrace". - - - Damned environmental pussies, they had it coming. |

Now if I remember my boating correctly, the capitain of the smaller boat should be charged with endangerment and failing to yeild. Green nuts. I wonder if they had their boat insured? Hope not. |

So you approve of the Asians fishing out the oceans for pure profit? It figures. They drag the bottom, and take everything when net fishing. The Japs dont give a **** about anything.They eat anything...... I guess your mentality would be " I'm old, so I wont have to worry about ****ing up the worlds Oceans, cause I'm not going to live that much longer" Whats's left for the future Generations? Damned environmental pussies, they had it coming. I never figured you for that much of an asshole. |
