"There's a bow and there are two ships , torn in half,"

β€” more footage from the site of the wreck of Russian tankers in the Kerch Strait.

The Russian Emergencies Ministry officially confirmed that the Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 are sinking. An MI-8 helicopter has been dispatched to the scene. There are 13 people and fuel oil on board the Volgoneft-212, and 14 people and oil products on board the Volgoneft-239.

"More than 50 specialists and 11 pieces of equipment are already involved in eliminating the consequences. Further information is being clarified," the Ministry of Emergency Situations reports.

I see that the front fell off. Because a wave hit it. At sea.

Next thing you'll be telling me is they were made of cardboard derivatives.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 21 points 1 year ago

Γ… wave hitting it? At sea? Chance of a million!

They were rusty ass 50 year old ships that had the middles cut out of them and the ends welded together so they would be shorter, but keep getting used. They busted apart at the welds, and I don't even think they were supposed to still be being used as ocean tankers anymore. They were supposed to be on rivers after the hack job.

It's ok they were outside the environment.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

More quality Russian workmanship.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, they're not the only ones... *cough*Boeing*cough*

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep. Remind me, who was responsible for the Liberty Ships?

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, good job you dumb fucks. As if there hasn't been enough environmental damage over the last years...

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And over the next 4 years

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very optimistic.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I thought id leave "and the long term effects of those 4 years over the next 80" for someone else.

Spread the depressing reality around a bit

After the US election I'm already in full on doomer mode. We were going towards 3 degrees Celsius before that already. All the copium articles were already "if we act NOW then..." kind of garbage, as if people suddenly became okay with actually needed climate policies. And now the world is supposed to compensate for all of the US emissions that will come out of Trumps fascist agendas? Not gonna happen.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I unfortunately don't have the luxury of giving up- us parents in the know are aware we had it much easier than our kids will, and we didn't have it easy either.

I cant stop it, can't ignore it, but I can do what I can.

…please watch this twice as there are two ships. Thank you.

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I guess I'm this case It's very very unusual.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They need to immediately tow this out of the environment.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Into another environment?

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, completely beyond the environment. There’s nothing out there.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago

Well what's out there? There must be something out there.

[–] tardigrada@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

The BBC has a footage (26 sec)

[–] Streetlights@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no...

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah oh no. It's an environmental disaster.

[–] Streetlights@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Russia is an environmental disaster. There is no carbon neutral way to stop them.
