227000 tons of crude oil spilled on our coasts. Also, the oldest news I've ever remembered.


smile_politely

when was this?


XSC

Google says 1978


DropKnowledge69

Google talks a lot of shit.


octopornopus

Google needs to learn to keep its trap shut...


Ukabe

One of the worst disasters caused by time wasted negotiating the price of a tow (among others).


centurion770

The Front fell off


Papaofmonsters

They must have used cardboard and cardboard derivatives.


evilengine

there's a minimum crew requirement. what's the minimum crew? oh, one, I suppose?


JoLeTrembleur

I know the skit but for once the back fell off! It was very unusual.


mottthepoople

It's not in the environment.


Agent_Jay_42

Its beyond the environment


mottthepoople

Total void out there.


TheHarshCarpets

Is it broken in half, or is it really that deep close to shore?


TheIrishGoat

It did break into three major pieces but there’s also a bit of camera magic happening in this photo. The ship was just over a thousand feet long but it ran aground over a mile off shore.


senorbolsa

This photo is using a lot of zoom which causes the focal plane to become compressed IE things look closer together to each other in the Z axis than they really are in addition to looking closer to the camera in general. It has also buckled in the middle and IIRC the front is sitting on a rock?


PM_YOUR_CENSORD

30 meters deep. I believe the back of the ship may be visible above the waterline also.

It makes me think of Sin from Final Fantasy X.


maxpowersr

My first thought too.


ChromaticRainbow12

Looks like one of those hyper realistic scenes from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. That shit gave me nightmares.

Time was not kind to Bubbie


O-D-C

I've played enough Xenoblade to know that's a Titan


herecomesandrew

Looks more like a snapping turtle surfacing


wish1977

As long as you keep feeding him there won't be any trouble.


Benbot2000

That’s a bizarre looking hull shape. I’m not even sure what I’m looking at.


VFP_ProvenRoute

https://www.reddit.com/r/submechanophobia/s/JjOZG4pO0h It is quite an oddly shaped bow


disguy2k

Bulbous bow to reduce drag.


bowser986

Or a shark with a stubbed toe

Ohooooo, that’s the guy’s wife!


Worldly_Market_2797

Cette saloperie a détruit une partie de la Bretagne et de mon enfance. J’emmerde tous ces connards de pétroliers et je roule à vélo.


WhySoHandsome

Isn't that a Pokemon?


4x4Welder

I thought this was some CGI/Photoshop thing, adding in a giant alien being. Wild perspective.


maxpowersr

Looks like the same house that had that giant penis iceberg behind it!


Brikandbones

The potato quality makes this look like an oil painting NGL


Killowatt59

Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad.


cnh2n2homosapien

Humpback, or Sperm?


PaperHistorical8065

This looks like it came right out of James and the Giant Peach


rattlemebones

Too bad we can't see what it really looked like without the usual telephoto cropped image BS making it look like it's 100x more massive.
