"Cruise ship hits iceberg in Antarctic waters More than 150 people have abandoned a sinking cruise ship that collided with an iceberg in Antarctic waters, a Chilean navy captain told CNN. British Coast Guard spokesman Fred Caygill told The Associated Press the ship had a hole "the size of a fist" in the hull. "

Almost all cruise ships are flagged as Liberian to avoid taxes. Even ones that operate exclusively within US waters. It allows them to skirt most us taxes, labor protections and minimum wage laws. It also allows them to hire non US nationals.

Actually, American can apply to any country in North or South America. So, technically, he's right. You people are so ignorant.

I am trying to figure out how in the fuck they let millions of dollars sink for a hole the size of a fist.

PLug that bitch up with some wood and cloth, weld a steel box over that fucker and run sump pumps until you get back to port.

Jeebus, there must be something that they aren't revealing in the news, like the captain was a huge vagina.

11/24/2007 1:48:48 PM

I thought this thread was about the NC State football team

11/24/2007 1:49:24 PM

I wondered that too.

One would think the pumps on a ship that size could pump that much water intake easily. They said the hull was cracked too so maybe that was why, the water may have been leaking all up that whole side or something.
