lol WTF.

The anti-whaling people claim the whaling ship hit them, the whaling ship claims they rammed & tried to block them.

Either way, the “Ady Gil” has now sunk, lol.

Vid of the collision:

So what do you think happened? One thing is for sure, if these people had enough money to build this crazy boat to begin with you’d think they’d at least reinforce the hull with SOMETHING, lol. Maybe LAFENGAS can help them out…

Stupid celebrities fund these hippies. Bob Barker donated $5million for them to get a new ship which they named after him.

I’m all about the cause and all…but has anybody ever watched the show? These people are ridiculous.

Looks like the boat was originally designed to circumnavigate the globe, and the hull was reinforced with Kevlar: [Ady Gil - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ady_Gil)

I dunno man, read the captions in that vid and note the wake behind the boat. The engines were definitely on.

This one looks like the Whaling ship turns into the Ady Gil… [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rar9zxH1kts&annotation\_id=annotation\_558937&feature=iv](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rar9zxH1kts&annotation_id=annotation_558937&feature=iv)  
but it does look like the Ady Gil accelerates into the ship at the last second…which wouldn’t surprise me because those hippies are nuts and totally willing to die or be severely injured in order to merely stall a ship for 5 minutes.

Looks like they both drove into eachother. You can see the whaling ship turn back left after they collide and the wake behind them is curved which means they weren’t going straight.

Both crews are idiots. :tup:
