The 52 passengers rescued from an icebound ship in Antarctica might now become the rescuers.
The Chinese ship that sent a helicopter to rescue the passengers on board the Russian ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy is now stuck in Antarctic ice and might need a rescue of its own, according to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
An Australian icebreaker carrying the 52 passengers is waiting in open water to see if it has to go back to help the Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon.

Yep, today is 14 days after the solstice which is the northern hemisphere equivalent of July 5th. The planet is just hotter than a firecracker isn't it?
"Frustrated because we had hoped to have some certainty regarding a plan for returning to family and loved ones after already many changes, but of course we are very aware why there is a new situation here and so can't be too upset," Peacock told ABC News in a statement. "Having to just accept the situation for what it is and find ways to stay calm about it all and keep occupied - it's a wonderful environment, a beautiful sunset over the ice right now."
How can I get a ticket to Tasmania, so I can be waiting at the dock for Mr. Peacock. I want to bitch slap him around until he pees like a puppy.
Worried about getting back to family and loved ones? Excuse me, you little p***k, what about the families and loved ones on the two ships that just plucked your ass from that huge pile of Global Warming you were stuck in? Heck, what about the families and loved ones of all those Chinese sailors who 1) choppered you out and 2) are now stuck in all that Global Warming?
What in the Heck is wrong with these people????
He SHOULD since He invented it.
Same goes with a sense of humor.
I remember some FReepers discussing the thought of Jesus laughing. Also, bad/no teeth in those days...no deodorant. Hmmmm.
This USED to be the way humanity had in eliminating the stupid. Now, EVERY effort is used to keep EVERY human alive.
There ain't no culling no more. The stupidest and most foolish are alive and breeding. I just read that Mongolian idiots those afflicted with Downs Syndrome and those with the 50 I.Q. or less DO indeed have a right to procreate.
Yikes.
If there is a statistician here, it would be interesting to see them mathematically prove the existence of God using this scenario. Because there is no freaking way that chance accounts for the sheer number of ‘oops!’ moments like this on the global warming issue.
And they wouldn’t even need a climate model to do it ;)
Is it safe to assume that both the “research” vessel and the rescue vessels, including helicopters, were all solar-or wind-powered?
It just wouldn’t be right to rely on internal combustion engines of any sort to fuel these noble missions.
I worked in a state mental facility (dealing with the retarded) shortly after high school for a couple years. Yes, it’s been that way for some time now.
The lawyers have a field day every time the issue hits the press and donations to lib causes flow.

It's a GIANT SHELL GAME....
Three ice breakers sfrozen solid in the ice.....
50 plus global warmers....
...being ferried around in a Chinese helicopter....
< GUESS WHERE THEY END UP.....
I really shouldn’t be laughing.
The fact that they are liberals comes to mind...
The Polar Star is the (WAGB-10) which just finished being overhauled last year. Sister ships.
Never submit to chance that which could be the product of malice.
LOL
Chinese icebreaker trapped while attempting to rescue trapped Russian ship.
Sure. But any malice on this topic would be God doing it considering it’s the weather and the greenies are the ones getting the bad juju dumped on them several inches/feet at a time.
Oh wait. I forgot about the Bush weather machine. BUSHFAULT! strikes again ;)
Yeah, ask the guys who were rowing through the Northwest Passage this summer. Also to prove gorebull warming.
Ivan Pavlov's dogs' reaction.
