[News] Super Yacht sinks off the coast of Sicily

[dazzer6666]

The second tallest mast in the world apparently.

A freak incident caused by more extreme weather in the Med. Sea surface temperatures are at record levels driven by climate change, a reminder its a threat to us all.

Menorca this week…..

The driver of the vehicle that hit the other chap while he was out running, was a woman on holiday in the area who lives in Suffolk.

They will be busy trying to discover if the driver has any connection to the US air bases in that part of the UK.

The Suffolk which houses the US air bases at Mildenhall and Lakenheath? THAT Suffolk...?

I think this is genuinely the first conspiracy theory I may possibly (because I’m not 100% sold) believe in.

I just find it too much that both these guys died unexpectedly, by accidental means, within days of each other, after they get off this trial. I’m not sure coincidence really stretches that far.

But there are so many good rabbit holes to go down.

I don't really understand the fixation with conspiracy theories. Most accidents only happen because of a series of coincidental events. Remove one event in the chain and there is no accident. This happens all the time. Unfortunately, when all coincidences meet up then there is an accident often leading to death (failure of one mechanism, failure of another, driver error, person in wrong place at wrong moment because they went left not right etc etc).

I feel like everyone is allowed to believe in one wacky conspiracy theory in their life. When you start believing them all then you are the weirdo

Menorca this week…..

Just too much energy stored up in the Med...

With 31.96°C on the Egyptian coast, the Mediterranean Sea reaches new record temperatures

On Thursday, the daily median surface temperature of the Mediterranean Sea reached 28.9°C, beating the record of 28.71°C measured on July 24, 2023.

How do you capsize a boat without anyone noticing?

Point to something to distract everyone? Oh look at that giant octopus over there!

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Possibly something to do with the huge mast the yacht had……

Anyway, no doubt the survivors will be able to shed some light on what happened when they are ready.

The Emperor Nero supposedly tried to murder his mum by arranging for her to be involved in a shipwreck.

A plan flawless in every detail, until she survived and swam to shore.

Actually, on reflection, it's clearly a stupid idea. He apparently then resorted to the more traditional and idiot-proof method of paying somebody to stab her.

 

[Comrade Sam]

As sad as it is, it's lucky the yacht wasn't full of refugees, they'd have given up the rescue mission by now and it would have long since stopped being newsworthy.

Well that's clearly conspiracy nonsense.

No one gets stabbed in Rome.

...even if they did, they wouldn't mention it.

One thing most seem to have in common is there being far less convoluted ways of achieving the objective than the one apparently chosen. However theorists love complexity and strangely significant co-incidences but are suspicious of any actual evidence.

Probably his horses idea.
