British police said they had arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter after a missing member of one of the crews was declared 'likely deceased,' on Tuesday.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Most of the military and maritime analysts I follow (not rumour mills) were saying that it really looked like an accident yesterday. I sometimes remind myself that to know what atypical is you first need to know what typical is, and in this case I definitely don’t.
Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that tankers aren’t safe.
It’s this kind of devotion that makes me think Lemmy stands a chance.
Can you book me a cab?
Wouldn’t it be bad for the environment?
Well, the cab will drive outside the environment.
It’s a matter of perspective. Maybe normal is that a small ship crashes into a tanker every 10 years and that was just one of those.
I have no idea if tankers are safe or not but it would probably be easy to do this on purpose. This is one of the reasons why that’s improbable. No state actor would do such thing because even if the intent was malice then you’d prefer doing things below threshold that requires a response from another side (like cutting undersea cables).
/whoosh
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
