So I'm sure some of you have seen the show Whale Wars, also I'm sure some of you have seen the Earthrace boat. Turns out the Earthrace boat joined the Sea Shepard in the Arctic ocean to try and stop the Japanese Whalers. The EarthRace was renamed the Ady Gil, probably one of the most technologically advanced boats of it's type. (Cost about 2 million $).
It didn't turn out so well.

and the view from the Japanese ship that hit it :

Does appear to me as though the Ady Gil was at fault, as they were moments before the crash under power(only really visible from the 2nd shot). Anyway, it's a good way to ruin a very cool boat.
