All we're missing is a nuclear submarine hitting the other two

"Global warming isn't killing the fish fast enough, dump the cyanide!"

When you are so greedy that you want to maintain and operate 183m long vessel with just 14 crewmembers. The other is no better.
These are not big vessels, but the crew of 14 is deffinitely not enough. Fatigue sets in almost at the beginning of contract and by the end, you are EXHAUSTED. Literally.
It is wonder this hasn't happened before... oh wait...
-
"However, one of the 14 crew members on the Portuguese-flagged Solong cargo ship is missing, the vessel's owner Ernst Russ says."
The Solong.
The universe is trolling us.

So long, and thanks for all the cyanide?
-
You fucked it. So long, and thanks for all the dead fish was right there.
-
So sad that it should come to this
-
So sad that it... should end tonight.

PSA: Avoid drinking ocean water for a couple of weeks
-
You can't tell me what to do!

Let's be real it. It's probably in the water.
-
Not for a few weeks, then it will have been there the whole time so nobody needs to do anything about it.

-
Jet fuel cannot melt water
-
What if mixed with sodium cyanide?
-
It does sound very bad but the ocean is unfathomably fucking huge. Not just surface area but sheer volume, I dont really want to go down a rabbit hole of "how much cyanide in how much water would be considered harmless", "how much cyanide was the ship carrying" or "how much water is in the ocean" but I hope someone does.
-
The North Sea is a huge area. How do you crash into something with all that space to drive a ship in?
-
You are a driver of something that moves at the speed of a drunk turtle. Over there is something that is also moving at the speed of a drunk turtle.
Now, you're both moving through an ocean. There aren't a lot of obstacles out here in the ocean, very few trees. Even fewer schoolchildren.
Your goal is to not hit the other slow thing. Just don't hit the other slow thing. Move, but don't hit the other slow thing. You should see them coming from, literally, miles away. Don't hit them.

(...) came out of the blue and collided with the Stena Immaculate at 16 knots.
so, probably related to fog ... ... and the worst has been avoided :
(...) 36 people had been rescued, with one person taken to hospital.
(...) some jet fuel had leaked into the sea
(...) The cargo ship had been carrying 15 containers of the chemical sodium cyanide when it collided with the tanker.
(...) Sodium cyanide has a variety of commercial uses, from being used to plate metals to dye production. It is highly soluble in water (...)-
Stena out here being bad news as any other time I've heard of them.
I used to work in an electronics refurb place. The Stena laptop pallets were straight out of landfills. Just a bunch of muddy laptops thrown onto a pallet. Macbooks priced by the tonne. We had to extract as much value out of that muddy, moldy filth as possible. Lots of people are now using those health hazard laptops without even knowing it.
Any time someone said "Stena goods coming in a few days", you just wanted to kill yourself.

- NaCN + Jet fuel
-
People cry wolf so often nowadays that calling sodium cyanide a "highly toxic chemical" feels like a lie minimizing the damage.
-
Damn it! Now the EU will have to make another 100k electric cars to make up for this ecological catastrophe
-
You just know some spiderman supervillain is coming out of that
-
Is this how we get Sea Man?
-

-
Oh jeez. Did the front fall off?
-
Well in this case the front fell off by all means, Iâd just like to make the point that that is not normal

Thanks, I fixed the main link.
