Makeshift Submarine Found Near QE2
« on: August 03, 2007, 11:36:23 AM »

MSNBC is now reporting that it is a movie crew without permits.

Looked kinda strange for a minute. It was less than 1/4 mile from the QE2.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I would be interested if this made any sense at all.

What is QE2? Why didn't you link the story.

Maybe they didn't get the word that the QE isn't transporting troops across the Atlantic any more.

Hugo Chavez has just claimed that the QE2 was attacking his Naval Operations Exercise.

What a non-story, and shameful sensationalism by the media.

NewsMax had this: "Meanwhile, police sources also tell NewsMax that officers who have entered the sub have not found anything that might pose a security threat...yet."

'...yet'?!  Should we play menacing music?  Another news agency had a paragraph to the effect of 'there's no evidence that this is part of a terrorist attack'.  

Have we become a nation of panicky animals that sees the Osama bin Boogeyman in every shadow?  Or is yellow journalism the only kind left?

oops!

The QE2 is the cruise ship Queen Elizabeth II. One of the most famous ships afloat.

LOL.. I'm glad the media was thorough checking their information before running the story.

The sensational headline always takes precedence over facts.

There is nothing wrong with building a submarine.

I think the concern would be someone building a submarine that has bad, or evil intentions for the submarine specially in a busy port like Long Beach.
