Dramatic collision in Southern Ocean leaves anti-whaling boat damaged [w/video]

A controversial group opposing Japanese whaling in the Antarctic region on Monday released video showing one of its ships, the Bob Barker, being sandwiched tightly between two larger vessels: a Japanese whaling ship and a Korean refueling tanker. It also shows what's said to be a flash-bang grenade explosion near the stern of the refueling ship, Sun Laurel. The dramatic incident surely ranks as among the most tense in the years-long history of clashes between the whalers and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

"The Bob Barker has sustained major damage from being sandwiched between the Nisshin Maru and the fuel tanker Sun Laurel," Sea Shepherd stated on its Facebook page. "The engine room is now visible through a crack in the floor of the galley. The Sam Simon has massive scratches and dings along their hull, and a smashed satellite dome."

That's a shame.

So when does it show on Discovery?

[Oberon]

I almost... wait for it... umm...

Nope. Thought I was gonna shed a tear there, but I guess not.

I hear that the new Sea Shepard fleet are going to have glass bottoms That way, they can see the old Sea Shepard fleet.

Too bad the Whale Wars ping list is dead, they were always a hoot.

I thought Japan ended research whaling a few years ago and “Admiral” Smelly Hippy was off to find a purpose for existing?

How about some Captain Crunch!

[pgkdan]

Heck! I’d pay to watch this on Pay per View! Snotty little hippies make me sick.

Dramatic collision in Southern Ocean leaves anti-whaling boat that was dragging propeller fouling lines in an effort to sobotage a risky refueling at sea wet and damaged.

The Grind TV Blog appears to have no provision for comments. Too bad; I would have logged my regrets at the non-sinking of the Bob Barker, and at the safety of her crew of pirates.

Looks like the Bob Barker became someone’s bitch

No surprise Bob Barker was harrassing other ships

Remember to spay and neuter your ships....

I used to watch this show (there is a comedy factor to their incompetence).

They tried the prop fouling with a rope thing alot.

If it were me in a cold remote ocean, and some hippie was trying to stop my means of propulsion...well, that harpoon cannon would be pointed right at them.

[Slings and Arrows]

I noticed.

[elcid1970]

If a few of these Sea Hippies were to wind up as fish food....

They’re engaged in acts of reckless endangerment on the high seas. The Japanese have showed tremendous restraint.

[Gay State Conservative]

Maybe next time the Japanese will set their sights on the Saul Alinsky and the Bill Ayers and send them both to the icy depths....crew included.
