Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's fast new trimaran, sitting dead in the water, appears to have been deliberately rammed and critically damaged by the much larger Japanese whaling ship (the Shonan Maru No. 2), despite claims from some that the Ady Gil rammed it. Here is the footage from the Japanese ship: judge for yourself. Did the Ady Gil attempt to start its engines and get away, only to fail? Did it first try to move forward, then backward after the ramming? Hopefully further investigation will clarify the matter, but regardless one has to ask why the Shonan Maru No. 2 was heading directly for the stationary boat in the first place and why did it turn to starboard, t-boning the Ady Gil. From the start of the video, note that the water cannons are firing and an LRAD is blaring (compare with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYjdMYzL7sU&feature=related). All of this may have also served to disorient the Ady Gil captain and crew.
