Great News about the two Nuke subs colliding:
We should be celebrating this incedent. Two near invisible vessles loaded with Nukes and powered by a nuke reactor collide in the middle of the Ocean, and yet no one died and they are not leaking dayglo green goo (apparantly).
The news could have been devestaing. Hundreds of lives lost as sea in terrible circumstances. Dozens of unrecoverable Nukes, reactors exposed to the murky depths, poisoning the seas, two boats that cost billions of £'s each lost. The possible further consequences for our nuke fleet as well.
The accident was likely unavoidable, such is the advance in sub technology (they are not supposed to be seen underwater after all). Its a big ocean but they only use a very tiny percentage of it (the top few hundred feet or so generally) and would be sent to patrol specific regions of interest that would mean overlapping patrols.
I'm surprised it hasnt happened before. The sky is big, we use 50,000+ feet of it for planes, and they broadcast their preseance and are monitored, you can even look out the window at the front, yet still collisions are inevitable. Collisions of subs are certainly equally as likely I'd have thought.
So we should celebrate this good news. No one died. It was lucky to say the least. But it could have been so much worse. Could have been the worse day in our Navies history, a bleak and dark period for our country, and the very worse kind of news to have had to deal with given present moral of the nation.
But it wasnt, thank God. A little bit of body work and alls well by the sound of it.
Post something thats positive. resist the urge to spread doom and gloom. See the positive side to a story. Lift the mood, bring pride and hope back. We should be celebrating this incedent.
