Saw another vid on a site called TMZ.co , seemed to show the whaler turning into the Ali G boat. Probably both sides playing silly buggers.
It's hard to tell which side is the most dangerous.

The video I saw appeared to show the japanese vessel turning into Earth Race instead of turning away. The water hoses playing onto the smaller vessel would have hidden this manouver from those on board.

Regardless of all the arguments - the upshot is that a small boat like that deliberatley getting so close to a bigger boat to cause it to have to take avasive action really isnt 'in the right - despite what rules of the sea say (give way to .... etc)
The seas are rough, there are water cannons, and that terrible sound that they are pumping out - they are forcing a situation that can cause an accident and trying to do it from a position that 'gives them right of way
Its like a biker going on green despite seeing a car running a red light - Just beacuse they have right of way - its all gonna end in tears.
Personally I think they got what they deserved. Glad nobody was hurt. Glad its fucked their boat.

I'm just fucked off that they wrecked a cool boat. What a waste of kiwi ingenuity and technology!

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Our waters? Get your facts straight. The whaling takes place in international waters, NZ has no more right to exploitation of those waters than the Japanese. Most likely the majority of the NZ fishing takes in international waters as well. Sending in the navy to sink the whalers would be not dissimilar to Pearl Harbour (albeit using exclusively civilian targets) - an open act of war.
Yep, BULLSHIT! Shepherds of the sea... I'm Jesus, I'll save the whales. What a load of rubbish. It's a pirate flag no matter what symbolism they claim.
Another link to the same video, in case it gets taken down as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9l_L1MVtcI
No, the waste of the boat happened when it went to Sea Shepherd. If you can even call it a waste, I mean, after all it was designed to set a record, it set the record - as such it served its purpose.

looked to me like they intended to be run down, why were the crew up top?? if that was a container ship and the small boat were somaliam pirates EVERYBODY would be saying serves the cnuts right they should have machinegunned them as well but because its grennies its the big boats fault. Same as these cunts that go up buildings with signs, they should shoot a few that will discourage the rest
Kiwi back at home!
Most people are morally against whaling, a little different to piracy off the Somali coast.

Well I don't think they did it on "porpoise"......

Ahhhh....once again a tirade of hate and vitriol against people who put their bodies where their mouths are and actually DO something, however misguided it may seem to be to others......
such ineffectual lives people have.....are they embarrassed by it, so they have to pour out this vitriol?

As much a fish as you are.
They are mammals not fish.
There are smaller numbers of them in the oceans since they are at the top of the food chain, for the most part we are their only predators unlike most of the fish we eat.

i dont care about most humans so why give a shit about whales

The rules: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...one_another.29
I can't find the clause, but there should be one which goes along the lines of "Pleasure gives way to commerce". But that's probably not included in the rules for commercial shipping.
If you consider the last bit of the video taken from the Japanese ship you'll find it difficult to see the wake from the larger ship. This would suggest that they have been turning to port, i.e. away from the Ady Gil. As such it would appear that the Ady Gil, as would be expected considering the relative manoeuvrability of the vessels, was the instigator of the collision.

I hear that next, Greenpeace will be protesting the contribution of motor sports to Global warming, by standing with placards at the sides of race tracks (and occasionally running out (or pretending to) in front of the vehicles).
