Container ship with weapons for the Syrian rebels broke in half and sank

25 2013 June 210

Huge container ship “Mol Comfort” with cargo weapons for the Syrian Free Army crashed in the Indian Ocean. He was heading from Singapore to the port of Jeddah, having on board 4500 containers with weapons for the Syrian rebels.

Container ship with weapons for the Syrian rebels broke in half and sank

'MOL Comfort sank for reasons that weren't clear yet. He went from Singapore to Jeddah, and then had to proceed to Northern Europe. Containers are drifting at the crash site, and the crash itself will deal a severe blow to the container transport sector and the entire maritime industry.

Assessing the scale of the consequences is difficult, even impossible, not to mention the consequences themselves. This is the first time that a modern ocean liner container ship (built in Japan!) Sank in the ocean, breaking in half like a poorly built and operated dry cargo ship or an aged coaster. Previously, nothing of the kind happened, and no one thought it was possible, even theoretically. It just could not happen, but nevertheless, it happened.

And who served as the "hand of the Lord"?

At the private reception in the Kremlin "the hand of the Lord" was awarded the "Hero of Russia"

There were no weapons there. This is an ordinary container ship with Chinese rags for geyropa... And it broke simply because it was MADE IN JAPAN... Nowadays (after Fukushima) everything that is made or serviced by the Japanese is unreliable and DANGEROUS!

Maybe ASAD knew that there was cargo coming and to prevent the cargo from getting into the ASAD army broke the ship. or this cargo went directly to the ASADA army and Western intelligence services scuttled it and we were taught that the weapons were intended for the FSA or ... or ...
In short, a lot of money was laundered and someone’s goals were achieved - it’s a fact.

WHERE WEAPONS OR NOT is not so important The Syrian media won a small victory in the information war, and this is encouraging

probably the first earthquake in the entire history of Japan. And no one there had heard of a tsunami, what kind of bullshit is it - until it hit you in the head =)
But seriously, the point is this: after 40 years of operation, the Japanese, in theory, should have learned power plants by heart, right down to the last rivet on the drainpipe. And in the event of any emergency situation, you need to know how to neutralize this situation in a short time and with minimal consequences. Moreover, turning off the external power supply (which is where it all started) is an event that can easily happen without any shaking, roughly speaking - "normal emergency".

Oh well,
read the chronology
in a nutshell

1. one of the largest earthquakes in the history of Japan
2. At the time of the earthquake, three operating power units were shut down by the emergency protection system, which worked normally.
3. the subsequent tsunami after a short time (can you imagine what it is - YouTube roll) destroyed the supply of electrical energy from the backup diesel engines
4. in the absence of external electricity. supplies (to remove residual power), I quickly transferred mobile electric power. modules, but a little time was lost, I think there was a hydrogen explosion in the outer casing, and without sufficient power supply and, accordingly, sufficient cooling, the pressure began to increase, and it was necessary to vent it into the atmosphere, because it was twice as high as designed
...
in all this mess, the Japanese were able to PREVENT a serious explosion, and you say that they did everything wrong
and this is against the backdrop of aftershocks
...
got off - with a slight fright - got a little shit around, if I'm not mistaken - the evacuated zone there is 30 km, the background pollution is 10% from Chernobyl, which, by the way, there was no tsunami or earthquake

a year after the accident, all three reactors were brought into a cold shutdown state. The situation has stabilized

yes, the station is old, but normal, it’s not the staff, the circumstances were too tough

you can write a lot - but the internet is full of information

I’ve been to Japan more than once for work - they shake every day several times, the technologists are top notch, they know how to build, they have buildings that can withstand 8-9 points, in other words, they shake trees out of the ground, but the house stands

misinformation, all this is no disaster. Well, they don’t write or show it anywhere else

Not really. It's all for real. Scan of the page from the official IMO website:

I saw the role of this ship - the rank and file were Filipinos, the command staff were Russians (passports of Russia and Ukraine).

We need to ask our counterintelligence agent whether I have the right to post this list online?

Well, as expected, it happened, the supply of weapons to the Syrian rebels was completed, no one will deny (well, the ship sank - It happens) The states retained their democratic face (they received money for weapons from Qatar) Qatar will receive insurance and is also happy - it has retained its Muslim face. The shipowner will receive insurance and is also satisfied. Well, V. Putin and Barack Obama will shake hands and exchange watches. And the Syrian meat grinder in the person of the Syrian army continues to grind more and more new fighters of Islam. In the end, everyone wins.
