The interesting thing is that ship was damaged almost immediately after leaving the port, had a chance to stop in Russian ports along the way but instead is doing a tour near EU countries.

The crew is either amazingly incompetent or malicious/complicit.

You don’t put a ship that can blow up near: a. Gas&oil terminals, b. military air base

Perhaps the crew was not given a choice.


And they were like "ok, we'll die for Mother Russia"


As opposed to what? Jump off the boat into the water?


...said the Filipino deck hand to the Egyptian navigator, no less.

(I don't know what nationalities the ship's crew has, but based on the ship's ownership, it would be pretty unlikely to be all Russian unless they've already disposed of and replaced the entire crew).

So not only is there now a suicidal crew of mad Russians, but they also killed the old crew. They just keep getting more dastardly! They probably caused the bad weather too! Andøya is usually so lovely this time of year!

Actually this rampant speculation thing is quite fun. I should sell this stuff to whoever is running the Tom Clancy estate.
