And what is your secret for living so long, has anyone told Guinness about you being 157?

Video shows dead whale across cruise ship's bow in NYC

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68980345

A video shows a 44-foot (13.4m) whale across the bow of a cruise ship in New York City.

The ship sailed into the Port of Brooklyn on Saturday. Marine experts have identified the whale as a sei whale, which is an endangered species, according to CBS News, the BBC's US partner.

The ship, managed by Geneva-based company MSC Cruises, docked in New York before sailing onwards to Canada. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of any marine life," said cruise officials said in a statement procured by CBS News.

The whale's body was taken to New Jersey where it underwent a necropsy - an autopsy on an animal. Experts hope the findings will help determine whether the creature was dead before it hit the ship.

 

Why do they want to know if it was dead b4 the ship hit it?  Oh forgot, it's America we're talking about here. No doubt a string of lawyers acting on behalf of the whales family will be looking to sue the cruise line

Im not saying i set the rules in this thread, but i did start it and i like it to be an pleasant place.

i fail to see where there is any chuckle in this story, maybe the "thats bizarre..." thread would have been better suited?

 

and i doubt its about a law suit.. 

more so its about marine biologists taking an opportunity to learn more about the species and its cause of death so that we can hopefully learn and improve how we work around them in the ocean. 

 

i have asked for people to use the spoiler option and tag posts that may be seen as derogatory or in poor taste, not to censor people, nor to pander to the "easily offended" brigade, but just for common sense - comedy takes many forms and im open to them all being explored, but not everyone likes "shock value" funnies.

now.. moving on...

I'm down in Lanzarote at the moment and was speaking to a couple today who're cruising around the Canaries. They said they tried to book the maiden voyage of the Queen Anne but it was fully booked.

 

I couldn't tell you port from starboard, haven't a clue about ships - eating dog turd has more appeal to me than going on a cruise, but I'd never heard of the Queen Anne. Just looked it up - it's Cunard's latest toy - can carry 3000 passengers, took 5years to build, was built and delivered on time by an Italian Shipyard. And on budget. Apparently it'll be visiting Edinburgh around the end of the month.

 

My thoughts immediately turned to the Calmac Arran ferry being built on the Clyde. The first ferry was due to come in to service in 2017 - it's STILL not in service having recently been delayed yet again, the 2nd ferry is suffering similar delays...  not long ago it was said it'd be cheaper and faster to scrap the 2nd ferry and order a brand new ferry from Turkey ( but the Socttish gov decided to continue throwing taxpayers money down the toilet ) - both Clamc ships are now almost FOUR times their original cost...  and it hasn't even carried a fare paying passenger yet.  Queen Anne was designed to cruise the worlds oceans, Glen Sannox was designed to ferry passengers and their cars 6 miles from Ardrossan to Arran !

 

It's not our workers at fault, it's our management. We couldn't oganise a p155 up in a brewery. 5 years it took the italians to build the Queen Anne. Look at them !

Queen Anne - 113000 tonnes

Just for the record, my reaction to that post was over the comment about USian LOLyers, not the ship running down the whale.

It seems to be the problem with anything being built in Britain these days, the costs spiral out of control, especially if there is public money involved, strange.
