“Idiot”?
Yeah probably, but what do you want, more then likely the current took them into the vicinity of the QE2.
IMO, he should have been warned and towed out of the area with tresspasing charges if the Turtle made it back into the region.

It’s not a www, I guess, couldn’t get your link to work, so I googled this link.
And you’re right...it is interesting (if that’s the right word, LOL.)
pong :-)

A man in a Revolutionary War-era submarine

In another article it was a wwII era submarine. Do these reporters know anything?
"From 1992 to 1997, I lived and worked in an 8 by 10 foot pigeon coop constructed out of a widow's walk on the roof of an old dilapidated building in Providence, RI. I shared the space with both domestic and street pigeons. A series of assemblages made with materials collected directly from the site and some photo documentation are all that remains of, what I now regard as my first conceptual performative and multimedia project. To this day, I continue to build functioning pigeon coops as sculptural gestures on the landscape, and to include images of birds in my work."
What a freak. Five years in the pigeon poop...

My work addresses the prospect of residual but forgotten unclaimed frontiers on the edge and inside overdeveloped urban areas, and their unsuspected autonomy. I am interested in the struggle of marginal peoples to sustain independent spaces within all-encompassing societies, the tension between individual and collective behavior, the conflict with institutional power.
IOW, his artistic medium was pigeon guano.
"What a Freak" indeed!
Thanks for the correct link. My HTML skills are rusty :-)
I love his Dead Horse Inn project. Sounds like fun!
I think he has in mind things like the homeless living in remote crannies of the subway tunnels. At one time I believe there was a regular little community of them down there, living in truly horrendous conditions. I think they got rooted out when they started to gain attention.
Are you a turtle?
You bet your sweet @ss I @m.
Well, it was the Clinton years...
yeah, Phil instead of Ahkmed.
You're close. The Coast Guard issued two citations - one for having an unsafe vessel, the other for violating a security zone. Then the city got involved and got him for reckless operation of a craft and towing in a reckless manner.
I'm sure other citations are pending.

Indeed, and attaching the bomb to the QM II would be even harder than the Turtle's first effort.
If it can be done its a possibility that terrorists can do it, think of an all wood and non ferrous disposable sub on a one way mission to attach itself like a sea lamphrey upon an ultra large tanker or LNG vessel. And all made from available hardware from Home Depot and a NAPA parts store.
No war is ever won by being defensive, we must become ever more offensive and strike at the heart of terrorism, cut their heart out and destroy their desire to want to rule the world.
My rant of terrorism and this article is a little off the wall and slanted but just think about it now and hopefully not after an event when we are all scratching our heads trying to figure out if a major disaster was terror related or expertly disguised as an accident of design or flaws in the structure etc.
