Helmsman: "Hey, that ship's made of composite fiber, right?"
Captain: "Yup."
Helmsman: "So if we hit it, it can't be repaired, right?"
Captain: "Not without some difficulty, yup."

Cool boat (I want one)... don’t know if it is worth 5 Million though. It looks to me they ran straight into the larger vessel and had warnings complimented by a water hose trying to keep them away.

With Global Warming rapidly melting the ice and frying the world, these people should’ve enjoyed a dip in the tepid waters...at least the water was maybe a little bit cooler than the hot air....

The article was poorly written. Bob Barker donated 5 million to buy the larger ship which rescued the crew of the tub toy, the Ady Gil.

It looks as though someone has alot of extra money on their hands to be able to afford a rig like that.
It couldn't be the helmsman though, who apparently hasn't the brains to have earned it.

It's a real pity the Japanese left these criminals alive.

Did the eco-crew survive?
Darn.
To: jazusamo
What the Japanese should do is PROSECUTE them for trying to intentionally RAM their fishing boat, an act of Violence for sure. By the way the smaller more maneuverable boat is REQUIRED by LAW to give way. They chose to Ignore this and It Is Their Fault. Arrest them for Attempted Piracy.

There are a couple of good threads going on this already. Most think the Seal Shepards rammed the whaler. I'm not so sure but have been arguing that even if the Japanese turned into them it was self defense.
Another poster said the Sea Shepards were using blinding lasers from the speed boat. They were definitely throwing stuff and trying to disable the Japanese ship's screws.
