holy ship, that's crashtastic!

Welcome to 2012, subby.

This is a yard where they cut up ships. Notice the grounded two ships on either side already mostly cut up, and the fact that the moving ship is riding ridiculously high, the dock is floating and so low it's awash, that no one is panicking, etc. This was entirely purposeful and what they do with every ship they cut up, they ground it and go at it with torches.

Elderly news is getting forgetful.

Breakup yard. Going to wreck it anyway and workers are cheap.

I read a pretty interesting book about these shipbreaker guys in India, et al. Can't remember the name or I'd link it.

It's a pretty grim existence.

I'd call that a remarkable success, submitter.

That will teach those double parkers.

He certainly isn't a wizard.

Although LiveLeak comments are like diving into a swimming pool full of monkeyshiat and derp, even one of them knows that this is from an Indian scrapyard and was intentional.

I do like the guy at the end, points the camera at himself to LOL.

Liveleak is pretty much youtube for white supremacists.

I want to say Mauritius, based solely on the little flag that was flying. I'll admit it's possible that a worker came to India from Mauritius and brought the flag with him to remind him of home.

Is it possible to fold up the little green light until it is all pointy and stuff it up subby?

like a glove

Unfortunately not. But it does appear that subby just arrived from some time in 2009 with this fresh vid.

This video is from 2009, but we live in 2012. Can't explain that.

Yeah, I got what you were trying to say after posting that. I tried to ignore it. E-dishonor for me.

/e-seppuku.

Isn't that the beach in India that's mentioned in World War Z? The families all went to the "shipyard" to escape without knowing it's not where they build ships, but scrap them. Panic ensues, boats in the water trying to get people on board are capsized, people start invoking the castes, zombies are pulling people underwater, etc.

I wonder if the Captain of that ship finished putting on her makeup after that.

Hey, you scratched my anchor!

Hey buddy, this is a HANDICAPPED SPOT, read the sign, uh-doy!

Well, maybe YOU do, but I live in 1998. Those were still really good times.

Damn compact parking spaces, now I have to climb out the window porthole...

Im glad the Costa Concordia captain found work.

Approves.

Probably the most interesting video I've ever seen of a ship-to-ship-to-shore interaction was about a team whose job is to salvage beached ships so they can be hauled away for scrap. (This is more or less the plan for Costa Concordia next year, though that'll be a very big job.) This was in Alaska, so conditions weren't ideal. They spent weeks repairing the beached ship in order to make it draggable, during which they had to live on it and poop in a bucket on a rope. It's not a punch-in/punch-out kind of job with a cafeteria and company newsletter. At the end of all that, they got their rig up close to her -- we're talking only a few metres off shore here -- hitched it up, and poured on the throttle for all it was worth. The beached ship lurched and bucked, but didn't budge seaward, so they tried again, at slightly different depths, distances, and angles of attack. This went on for hours, until it became evident that she was stuck hard and fast and not coming off without a lot more power than they had available. At that point, the salvage captain aborted the operation, reboarded the salvage ship, and methodically emptied an automatic pistol into a pile of dirt while reciting blue poetry. These seem like the kind of people you would not want thinking bad things about you.

Certainly wasn't a ship braking yard...

(crickets)

At least the captain of the U.S.S Porter will be able to find work.

To be fair, that old ship thought it was going to a farmer's market.
