Scared to death of what might happen now it is at the bottom of the sea. Imagine being a sailor on a ship with such a cargo in the Atlantic with U-boats prowling. A different breed.

I don't think you would have known much about it if a torpedo had set your whole cargo off!

[Peasgood]

I doubt you would but I would think you'd be constantly thinking about it.

My Ex's grandfather was a captain in the navy protecting the Atlantic convoy, it sounded pretty grim. If a ship went down you had to keep going and just watch the survivors float by knowing they hadn't a chance. I would think those images would be in your head forever more.

Really?

I’m sure Tescos and others including oil producers will be looking at this and thinking about maximising profit already. Not sure if anyone took much notice at the recent announcement regarding huge profits at Tesco There’s nothing like a manufactured over over hyped crisis to boost shareholder dividends it would seem.
