It could have sold for a pretty penny to China. They are voracious for iron and steel right now.
You mean that ships other than those belonging to the American military are harmful to the environment? This does not compute.
Thats one big old boat.
It's the thought that counts the most.
Truly unfortunate that the captain and crew weren't given front row seats seats to the event.......like on the boat!
The Ft.Worth, Texas F-111 is still putting things down. Outstanding!!!
Indeed. I live about five miles from the Amberley RAAF base, home of the F-111 strike force, and let me tell you they are still an impressive bird to watch in the sky.
They've been busy of late, too - today, target practice for some, and aerial reconnaisance of the cyclone-ravaged parts of northern Queensland where Cyclone Larry hit on Monday.
Watching them zoom overhead this evening, on their way back to base, was impressive as always.
Erm, no. The heroin was removed beforehand, as were the crew (unfortunately).
Couldn't agree more! The only good drug dealer is a DEAD drug dealer!
