15. Can you imagine how stupid someone would have to be to believe that story?

3 tugboats all traveling in a circle around a 4th tugboat would create a terrifying vortex which would suck down a tugboat and drown the passengers? Good holy grief. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Dumb de dumb dumb.

All the stories also DO slide right past the fact they committed a murder to get their hands on the tug they stole.

How many people hijack a boat after neutralizing the guard, steal it, and take off in a harbor tug, which would NEVER arrive at Miami in one piece (being built for ONLY the calmest, smoothest little trips back and forth across a completely calm harbor) and expect the witnesses to bow from the waist and call out "bon voyage" to them as they set off for their free trip?

Then to imagine the Cuban government was ready in a heartbeat to order those tugboats to create a terrifying black hole in the water to suck in the hijacked harbor tug! Quick and deadly thinking, wasn't it? Oh, f'r crying out LOAD.

If a story like that had been even remotely possible the US would have used that as an excuse to invade Cuba ASAP, and crowd that place from one end to the other with US personel, claiming they were there to overthrow their government on behalf of the helpless murdering hijackers.

Funny we were all talking about Kerry at that time, isn't it? It was great seeing that thread, Mika. I was happy to save it for my files, and snickered remembering sandnsea, too. What a colossal ass.

Generally, accidental deaths that occur during a crime are attributed to the criminal murderers. Mika Jul 2013 #14
