Youtube view from Bob Barker, convienantly right in front of the Japanese ship before the collision...

And the view from the Japanese ship where you can hear the audio of the sonic defenses.

In both videos you can see a small rooster tail appear from the back of the Ayd Gil moments before impact, either to ram, or to avoid collision... Oh, and more updates in this thread where we find out the Ady Gil is not sinking, but has taken on quite a bit of water.

Even better is the picture of the damaged boat that wasn’t flying a flag. They did have the Jolly Roger painted on the hull side.

Under Admiralty law, they are pirates.

Yep, I did a title search and a couple keyword searches and nothing came up. I was pretty sure it had been posted but like you say, it’s kinda funny and I couldn’t pass it up.

Watson’s group has been asking for this for some time and they’re lucky it didn’t turn out worse.

What gets funnier is the variety of 'sides' on this issue, and the 'ignorance' of many of those comments.

Oh well, everyone is entitled to their 'opinion', regardless to how uninformed it is.

Were it Iranian speedboats ramming US fishing vessels, I bet some would have a radically different 'opinion'.
