Yeah, I'm trying to picture it myself and it keeps coming up insane. The Venezuelan Captain deliberately rams a ship many times his size. Nothing happens. He does it again. Nothing happens. He does it again. There's a dent on the target and his ship is now taking water. He does it again...
Until he sinks.
I have to be missing something here. Somebody please tell me what I'm missing...
Yes! Truly, I am baffled. And the boat that is rammed is not making way!
You have a small cruise ship in international waters that is attacked repeatedly and foolishly by a military vessel. And fired upon!
It’s simply stunning.
Then there’s the story of a guy who intentionally derailed a train because he had one beef with a hospital ship?
Its like the left attacking Trump.
The actions of the Venezuelan captain may have been exaggerated, but it does appear that the cruise ship's bow hit something. One good whack from an ice-rated ship is probably enough to breach the hull of that patrol vessel.
I do find the lack of photos or videos showing the damaged and sinking patrol vessel to be a bit suspicious. Such events just do not go unrecorded these days.
