Japanese vessel smashes into Sea Shepherds? Oh and I'm also suppose to believe the Japanese were using hoses to get them wet right? I'm pretty sure the hoses and sirens were used to prevent the S.S from coming anymore closer but because the S.S are kinda like modern day Kamikaze's they kept coming closer and collision happened.
Think about it "Whale Wars" the TV show is about the S.S going after the Japanese, not the Japanese going after the S.S.
What is wrong with you people there ?? Are you looking for fun even during such a horrific show ?? don't you see anything wrong with killing in such a barbarian way ?I And maybe you pretend you don't see ? I can't believe that somebody who calls himself civilized and intelligent person can cause other alive creature so many suffer and in the name of what ??? Tradition ?? Bullshit ! If we talk about tradition let's start srucify people and put guillotine in France again , it was tradition too !

First, they're not GreenPeace, and second, before the video started, they were darting back and forth in front of the whaling ship. No question as to who's at fault here.
yer that's why It's noticeable in the video that the Ady Gil is moving straight forward while the Shonan Maru is pulling hard starboard INTO the Ady Gil.
What you (conveniently) don't see if the footage that took place before all this of the Ady Gil cutting back and forth across the whaling ship bow. The S.S. was out there, with no legal right to do so, committing illegal acts of violence. Even if the whalers intentionally rammed them, they were in their legal right to defend themselves...hence the reason the S.S. can't get anyone to press charges against the whalers. Period!
I found it hi-fucking-larious, when those whack jobs on that ridiculous looking bat boat got themselves smashed by the whaling ship, and then, to add insult to injury, the whalers blasted them right in their self-righteous faces, with a friggin water cannon !
@dbviewer5 ''Whales are food just like every other animal'' ... Did you realize that whales are quite close to extinction? Whales are very unique animals and should not be left to extinct. And thats why I am very pleased with the fact that there are people working hard for no money to save these animals
Listen pal, whales are VERY intelligent creatures. They are also VERY vindictive! Evidence indicates that they are beginning to form societies, they are planning their revenge on mankind.
U.S. nuclear attack subs have found evidence of whale cities on the ocean floor. What's even more troubling is evidence of whale weapons and munitions production.
It's us, or them.
I don't want my children living under the merciless fin of whale oppression.
the problem is that this whaler vessel is doing totally legal work there. they are tring to make living in poor country side of japan. most of fisherman there are immigrant Koreans who is tring to be a japanese in future. the Anti- Whaling people should against to much upper levels to really do something . this is really dumb in both side.
1st watch the video closer the anti whaling boat was sitting idle look at the wake it shows no propuslion. And Then it guns it right into the path of the boat. I
2nd Boating rule#1 BIG BOAT has the right of way.
3rd The wake of all boats look like an arc. THINK ABOUT A WAVING moving away from the point it started it. DOH!
I don't like like whaling either but I have found the acts of the anti whaling show a deplorable media exploit endagering lives.
@yuanna48 Well, you obviously don't respect Koreans very much....
If you do indeed exert the influence upon your government as you allude to here, then I guess both our countries should prepare for a long and bloody conflict.
It would be a great pity and shame if diplomacy fails here and we are forced into mankinds most primitive form of settling dis-agreements.
This talk does great dis-honour to our war heroes who died for far greater ideals.
First of budy learn how to write in English second look at the footage taken from the bob barker vessel you can clearly see that the captain of the harpoon boat steers straight toward the ady Gil, hmm yes I agree with you it was the ady Gil fault they should've know that at the last second the other captain was going to ram them.
It´s like committing suicide by thrusting into an on-coming train at the crossing. And now their claim is much worse than korians´s. They know no shame, but only money.
These FOOLS deserve to get thier expensive boat creashed into.hey drove it infront of a bigger boat. SIMPLE. i don't agre with whaling.But They are endangering them selves for the Publicity. HA HA HA . they must have thought that they were above getting hit by the bigger boat. I think the small boat is 100 % at fault for causing the accident. period. That is called harrasment.
look at the whaler's wake at the near end of the video...looks like the boat's wake turns into the path of the "hippie's" boat. Looks like the sunk boat's wake was straight in the ocean.
Send Japan a warning: Stop whaling now or face sanctions. If whaling continues, dispatch subs to sink the whalers. Rescue all crew aboard but all whaling ships will be sent to the bottom, courtesy of the US Navy.
I don't agree with whaling. However, it is clear that Adi Gil was accelerating toward Japanese whaling ship. In fact, Adi Gil lost the front part of its own ship. Although there were no casualties from Japanese whaling ship, I believe this incident should be classified as terrorism to prevent further aggression.
actually it is NOT clear that they are going towards it. camera angles can be deceiving. the water surely wasn't calm, the waves could've pushed them forward so maybe u shouldn't assume that that's what they did.
What about the propeller wake/cavatation that can clearly be seen at the Ady Gil's aft? Especially a few seconds before the collision when the Ady Gil powers up and shoots forward (towards the Japanese ship)?
Notice the aft hose is static. Notice the stream of water doesn't move and keeps the same trajectory. Notice the aft stream of water doesn't swivel or change position to hit thAdy Gil.
You are correct this video here doesn't show the aft hose in a manner that you could tell it was an unmanned static hose at the time of the collision. Hopefully the video I pasted above clears it up.
you can see in the video that the security boat that was sent to protect the whaling ships turns and aims straight into the anti whaling ship, and there trying to say it was an accident what a fucken pile of shit! bout time the Australian government grew some balls and does something about this before somebody gets killed.
I agree. The Aussies should go down there and get their citizens and the rest of the anti-whalers who are only harrassing hard working men and escort them back to port.
Whether or not we agree with whaling, and whatever vessel we see as at fault here - the japanese crew continue to attempt to hose members of Sea Shepherd into the sea despite the severe collision and imminent sinking of the vessel - extremely callous behaviour and its not winning any hearts in our house! Bring on the anti-whaling gunships!!!
Whaling is illegal, these guys get around the law by claiming that they are killing the whales for "scientific research" the whale meat ends up being eaten. This funds the "research" and profits etc.
I hate to tell you but waleing is eleagal so drop the rights BS they have no rights I'm not really againts the walers but i get ticked off when people desplay false info like your's I couldn't care less about the wales but the actions japan is taking is geting carried away.
If the whalers are LEGALLY plying their trade, then these 'conservationists' (read eco-terrorists) are infringing on their LEGAL rights. Save the whales? Okay, sure. No more hunting leads to over population, over eating of their food supply, and disease within the population. The very old and very young die and wash-up on shore. Yeah, let's stop legal, responsible hunting. It's called wildlife management.
@Chachihunts71 Japan & China over hunt. They drag the sea with nets and kill unnecessarily.Besides from what I read in sky news, this boat is out of bounds, therefore their in illegal waters.
Okay, so a research or fishing boat, whichever they are, plying their trade in illegal waters are going to be the ones to release video of the wreck? That's smart. Watch the video...again. And see just how stupid these anti-whalers are...they steered INTO the Japanese vessel! Leave this stuff to the authorities and you bleeding hearts put a band aid on your heart, will you!?
you wanna know something funny? i'm living and working in japan (civilian on an American military base) right now and I usually watch the Japanese news every morning, and these past years I have never seen Japan's media release anything about the anti-whaling problem going on down south, does that say something?
I know enough about boats to know that 52metre ships of 490 tons gross weight and that have a cruising speed of 11 knots, can't "suddenly veer" anywhere - let alone in only 50 metres
Its like trying to stop a freight train with an old corvet The Ady Gibbs (cristened Earthrace) is claiming rights to port but clearly tonnage rules apply.
I say stop the whaling! While there at it stop fishing the other side of the pond wiping out the shark population to make shark fin soup! If I was the captain of the steath ship I'd blown out of the water! Period!
thlose guys were fucking idiots about stopping the whaling...i like whales too and think they shouldnt whale but these guys are so fucking scetchy..they hit a chinnese shiponce
Alot of training most have gone into dealing with Pirates & Whale Catchers. Not to mention : a heigh teck EXPENSIVE boat. So i am very surprise that a Old Japanese Boat with a WATER Hose could do such a Damage. HA HAAAAA!
also a good sign that the whaling ship turned is the fact that you can see the hull of the whaling ship roll left and the dude holding the camera leaned backward at the same time because the boat woulda thrown him back a bit. if you have ever been in large boat when the bow digs into a wave youd know how it throws your body around
also 5 of the 6 crew memebers of the ady gil were on the slick cabin rushing to get back into the boat when they realised they were getting close, the captain wouldnt have been able to floor it in any direction until they were back into the boat or all 5 of them would of more then likely slid off into the sea and possibly got pulled under the whaling ship by the suction. they left it a little late to get back in to a safe spot on the boat.
if you watch the other video from the Bob Barker out the front you can see as the whaling ship goes down and impacts into the wave it veers right then after it come out the wave it veers left after impacting the Ady Gil.
It is obvious the carbon boat full of hippies moves ahead then throttles to make a collison. The japs were actually turning away from them, you can tell at the end of the video by the water behind the jap boat. I don't condone whaling at all.
Why don't they pressure the governments into a import tax for Japanese products.
these people are nuts. they have done more damage to the eco system letting this boat sink them the whalers have. they let how many gallons of oil and gas sink into the waters.
Especially if the Adi Gil is moving forward, the onus is on the ship coming from the left (in this case the Shonan Maru) to give way.
It's like a car accident where if I'm driving ahead of you and I, while reaching for my cell-phone, accidentally hit the brake pedal and you strike my car from behind you're automatically at fault. It's your job, not mine, to avoid that accident.
The reason why Sea Shepherd is doing this is because international law is not being enforced.
The law strictly prohibits what the Japanese are doing. The "research" loophope is being used fraudulently by the Japanese to hunt whales for food. It's an illegal act.
The Sea Shepherd is a tub full of naive idealists that are going to get people killed out there.
International law is not on their side and instead of being out there trying to kill someone (a real person) they need to work on changing international law.
These nuts have no more rights than the whalers they are trying to kill.
They drove their boat in front of the whaling ship, you can clearly see the water foam as they start propelling forward. This was a stupid move on their part, but hey, it got them world coverage for it, maybe it will help slow down the whale killings for a bit...
....whales are the greatest creatures in this world, killing them is like killing a human! There should be an international law completely stopping whale killing! They are gentle giants, & "don't have a snowball in hells chance" of escape. There's very few of these wonderful creatures left in the sea, Japan must stop NOW!!!
I don't need to watch the video closer I've seen this show on tv and the Japs are always whaling and then saying they weren't. They lie and all they know how to do is kill. This is clearly the japs ramming the vessel. Whoever said it's not clear is a clearing lying. What if someone had been killed they would have still called it an accident. When is someone going to do something about these japs killing whales. What the heck is wrong with them anyway?
dont agree with the whaling but the little ship does move forward. sucking power? are you kidding? it wouldnt turn a wake like that and its the front of the whaling ship sucking power is at the stern dumbass
WRONG! the Ady GIl clearly starts moving forward and a wake is evident. watch the video closer. these people are going to hurt themselves or someone else. the crew of the sea shepard are environmental terrorists.
Look more carefully. The Ady Gil is going forward at low speed. The wake that starts is the moment the sucking power of the Shonan Maru drags the very light Ady Gil towards it. In any case, sea law states that a ship coming from larboard has to turn. The Shonan Maru comes from the left, so it had to move away. Crossing right in front of the Ady Gil is against sea law, even more because the dragging power of a moving ship is well known (and exactly what you see demonstrated here)
now the fucking japs are sucking dick because the tsunami destroys them

Scientific research? On a FACTORY SHIP? Wouldn't you need a science vessel for research?
Scientific research? Then why are the Japs throwing the most important biological parts you'd do research on OVERBOARD immediately?
Scientific research? The Japs don't have any scientists onboard. Those are all factory labourers wearing those helmets and coveralls
Scientific research? The instant they pull a whale onboard, they carve the animal right up and box the parts! NO research being done!

Its like trying to stop a freight train with an old corvet The Ady Gibbs (cristened Earthrace) is claiming rights to port but clearly tonnage rules apply.

I say stop the whaling! While there at it stop fishing the other side of the pond wiping out the shark population to make shark fin soup! If I was the captain of the steath ship I'd blown out of the water! Period!

Alot of training most have gone into dealing with Pirates & Whale Catchers. Not to mention : a heigh teck EXPENSIVE boat. So i am very surprise that a Old Japanese Boat with a WATER Hose could do such a Damage. HA HAAAAA!

also a good sign that the whaling ship turned is the fact that you can see the hull of the whaling ship roll left and the dude holding the camera leaned backward at the same time because the boat woulda thrown him back a bit. if you have ever been in large boat when the bow digs into a wave youd know how it throws your body around

also 5 of the 6 crew memebers of the ady gil were on the slick cabin rushing to get back into the boat when they realised they were getting close, the captain wouldnt have been able to floor it in any direction until they were back into the boat or all 5 of them would of more then likely slid off into the sea and possibly got pulled under the whaling ship by the suction. they left it a little late to get back in to a safe spot on the boat.

if you watch the other video from the Bob Barker out the front you can see as the whaling ship goes down and impacts into the wave it veers right then after it come out the wave it veers left after impacting the Ady Gil.

It is obvious the carbon boat full of hippies moves ahead then throttles to make a collison. The japs were actually turning away from them, you can tell at the end of the video by the water behind the jap boat. I don't condone whaling at all.
Why don't they pressure the governments into a import tax for Japanese products.
Be more successful than these idiots!

these people are nuts. they have done more damage to the eco system letting this boat sink them the whalers have. they let how many gallons of oil and gas sink into the waters.
What a bunch of fools.

Especially if the Adi Gil is moving forward, the onus is on the ship coming from the left (in this case the Shonan Maru) to give way.
It's like a car accident where if I'm driving ahead of you and I, while reaching for my cell-phone, accidentally hit the brake pedal and you strike my car from behind you're automatically at fault. It's your job, not mine, to avoid that accident.

The reason why Sea Shepherd is doing this is because international law is not being enforced.
The law strictly prohibits what the Japanese are doing. The "research" loophope is being used fraudulently by the Japanese to hunt whales for food. It's an illegal act.

The Sea Shepherd is a tub full of naive idealists that are going to get people killed out there.
International law is not on their side and instead of being out there trying to kill someone (a real person) they need to work on changing international law.
These nuts have no more rights than the whalers they are trying to kill.

They drove their boat in front of the whaling ship, you can clearly see the water foam as they start propelling forward. This was a stupid move on their part, but hey, it got them world coverage for it, maybe it will help slow down the whale killings for a bit...

....whales are the greatest creatures in this world, killing them is like killing a human! There should be an international law completely stopping whale killing! They are gentle giants, & "don't have a snowball in hells chance" of escape. There's very few of these wonderful creatures left in the sea, Japan must stop NOW!!!

I don't need to watch the video closer I've seen this show on tv and the Japs are always whaling and then saying they weren't. They lie and all they know how to do is kill. This is clearly the japs ramming the vessel. Whoever said it's not clear is a clearing lying. What if someone had been killed they would have still called it an accident. When is someone going to do something about these japs killing whales. What the heck is wrong with them anyway?

dont agree with the whaling but the little ship does move forward. sucking power? are you kidding? it wouldnt turn a wake like that and its the front of the whaling ship sucking power is at the stern dumbass

WRONG! the Ady GIl clearly starts moving forward and a wake is evident. watch the video closer. these people are going to hurt themselves or someone else. the crew of the sea shepard are environmental terrorists.
badka2ma 2 years ago 2
Look more carefully. The Ady Gil is going forward at low speed. The wake that starts is the moment the sucking power of the Shonan Maru drags the very light Ady Gil towards it. In any case, sea law states that a ship coming from larboard has to turn. The Shonan Maru comes from the left, so it had to move away. Crossing right in front of the Ady Gil is against sea law, even more because the dragging power of a moving ship is well known (and exactly what you see demonstrated here)

Judging from the lack of any serious wake from the Adi Gil.. this was DEFINITELY an intended attack on her.
