This is all about two German ships navigating the Arctic NE passage.
 


This is front page news people! Wow, we're all doomed..

But wait a minute, it's all cr*p.

The ships weren't going to Rotterdam after all, they were going  to Siberia! And they were escorted by two nuclear powered Russian ice breakers which can plough through 2-metre thick ice. Plus, the journey's be done before - regularly!!.

Two excellent pieces here. The first debunks the story in the Indy (and the BBC) and the second really hammers  The Mail (which will make Bannjaax's day!  )

Incidentally, the story's been debunked widely; I only chose these two articles because they are so thorough in their debunking.. (Plus the fact that I love the headline on the second "The turd eaters".) 

hi nickbat, just read the story - isn't the news the fact that for the first time in 125000 years this route can be navigated without icebreakers (the reason it was prohibitively expensive and the russians were reluctant to use it) it's been navigated, but not easily and cheaply before now 

you're right tho - the Indy did lapse into "the sky's falling in mode" don't know if it deserved a front page screaming headline either (slow news day?)

Read it again, BJ, the ships were escorted by two nuclear-powered Russian ice breakers!

" the news contained in this paper may or may not be true, and indeed may be total fiction".

That's why I never read the paper or watch the news, It's hard enough dealing with the crap you know exists for sure without worrying about some other f**ker who you've never met (and are never likely to).

I  suspect nuts are involved somehow.

I never saw a thing officer, I was in the toilet at the time.
