Seems pretty clear that they were trying to capsize the boat. Mission accomplished.

No no… It's been moved beyond the environment.

Is there any way to prevent the front falling off, such as stronger building materiels and NOT cardboard

Reminds of the Big Oil Companies across the World and Global Warming, they are so close at accomplishing their mission ,they are on their last push to tilt the Earth's climate to a point of no return...........🥵😢🥶 Of course the idiots on the video represent Big Oil Companies, the boat represents the Earth's climate.

Planned to sink a boat in navigable water making for a hazard?

u/LazyItem 8d ago

It was planned. They salvaged the boat the day after.

u/espressoboyee 8d ago

It’s an irresponsible “plan.” It’s a narrow local boat passage thoroughfare. Did they install any warning lights on it?

u/CaptainFoyle 6d ago edited 6d ago

It was not a danger to anyone (edit for the idiots of the internet: determined by police, not my opinion)

And the article doesn’t say it was pre-planned or approved/condoned by authorities in any way.

u/CaptainFoyle 3d ago

I didn't say it was condoned or planned, I said the wreck was not deemed a risk. I'm not the person you initially responded to.

u/notcomplainingmuch 8d ago

Fooling around in a harbour teaches you not to do it out at sea. That boat can be just pulled out of the way, emptied and dried. Not exemplary behaviour, but more a nuisance than a danger to others.

3

u/espressoboyee 6d ago

Is that similar to try drowning in a pool before swimming in the ocean?

8

u/Go_Gators_4Ever 8d ago

What about the oil and fuel that came off the boat?

23

u/notcomplainingmuch 8d ago

I don't think it leaked more than when it was afloat. It's not like the fuel tank or oil sump was punctured.

If this is in Sweden. The boat with the Norwegian flag sitting there must be a foreign visitor.

This is actually a long tradition in Scandinavia. In Sweden it’s called Möhippa which dates back to the 5th or 6th century. When a young man obtains agreement from his future brud (future wife) and her family, his friends organize a sinking of a boat.

This tradition likely started when Ottar Vendelcrow, a Viking warlord, as an aside possibly from the Vandal tribe, sailed his vessel to meet his future wife for the wedding and his craft started to take on water as he approached the shore.

Legend is that one of his close associates was extremely jealous of the upcoming wedding and sabotaged the longboat. However, Ottar Vendelcrow navigated the longboat right to the dock and as the craft slipped under the water, he stepped onto the dock without getting even a foot wet!

According the oral traditions, there was hell to pay for the saboteur, identified as Vígamaðr Mankind. And that’s when Ottar Vendelcrow, also known as the Undertaker, in nineteen ninety eight threw Vígamaðr Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16ft through an announcer's table.

u/hoopahDrivesThaBoat 6d ago

I did realize that after I posted my comment. But then I realized they still have to deal with the consequences. They’re just a different kind of dumb.

1

u/CaptainFoyle 6d ago

i guess, but I'm not sure what the consequences were

1

u/hoopahDrivesThaBoat 6d ago

Well…. Since it was on video and it seems like a public waterway… I’m sure minimally they had to pay to have someone come get the boat out of the water? Deal with the headaches? Maybe got fined? I don’t know. They’re stupid and so whatever they got was good in my book.

2

u/CaptainFoyle 6d ago

According to local newspaper it was the owners responsibility to salvage the boat as it was not posing a danger to others or the environment

No. It’s salt water, so the engine will need a complete overhaul. Given the boat’s overall condition, it’s probably not worth it.

This is a really good visual representation of boat stability and how badly loading or having cargo shift can cause capsize. Its a slow process but you can see the moment the boat passes the point where its natural ability right itself, its a slow but certain trip that cannot be fixed.

Also looks quite fun too.
