I told my wife the day they announced they were renaming and taking the EarthRacer boat with them on their open seas piracy attempt that they'd stick that sucker in front of a whaling ship, and then claim that it was sunk by the Japanese. And lo and behold, look what happened.

I hope Discovery Channel got some good footage of the entire event including any conspiracy to place it in harm's way. But this will be a blow for the Japanese; the EarthRacer boat was extremely popular in Australia, and it's sinking will rally a new round of donations to the Sea Shepperd pirates.

I guarantee you any footage will be mercilessly edited to show it was the whaler's fault.

This is good.

Here is an article from last month.

Note this comment:

“Despite the beefed-up security, Watson said he was confident of disrupting the hunt for a sixth year, saying the activists had a futuristic powerboat which would be able to outrun the ships and block their harpoons. “It’ll be our interceptor vessel, I think it will make a big difference,” he said.”

Looks like the Japanese were ready for their futuristic powerboat. And note freepers had fully predicted this outcome.
