They smashed Greenpeace's boat.
Is that the one that was in New Zealand that the French are suspected of bombing and sinking? (killing a man in the process).
I recall a man and a woman were arrested in New Zealand and were thought to be French military , or something like that.
It is coming back to me now, it had to do with the French testing a nuclear bomb on an island and Greenpeace was trying to stop it.
I can`t recall the name of the boat though. This is going to bug me all day.... What was the name of the freaking boat?

"Rainbow Warrior"

AHHH, It was the Rainbow Warrior !! Thank goodness for google.

Rainbow Warrior. I do recall that the boat got too close to the French testing area and the French Navy boarded the boat and while "searching" for weapons and explosives managed to smash much of its structure rendering it unseaworthy.
It still makes me chuckle thinking about it.
