The front fell off

[TQA]

OK I could not resist this. The front did fall off the Leonardo, a 114-metre-long dry cargo ship, which was anchored near Istanbul at the time.

Any Aegis Cruisers in the vicinity?

 

[Al Paca]

Any cardboard ?

Cardboard derivatives

Is that in the environment?

Too much tape.

Or maybe not enough.

That's actually a pretty common phenomenon with big ships now - they are closer to bags than the sort of rigid structures we think them to be. A loss of concentration when loading or unloading can total them.

They backed down too hard!

I'd love to hear the call to the ship's owner.....

Still a classic. Thats the cleanest copy of that ive seen yet. Shit thats funny. A wave hit it...

 

[Flippin Out]

I disagree with you. I actually believe that it was in fact the back that fell off..................

I miss this thread. Bump

Well, it almost fell off. 

But that is not going to buff out!

And the ever popular, 'You scratched my anchor!'

Looks like it hit an immovable object. 

 

[d'ranger]

good that cardboard was out.

Unfortunately, they may have violated the minimum crew requirement.

"Umm, Mr. Leotheopolis, this is Captain Luckie of the Leonardo.   Uhh, the skipper of the 'Leaky Leo'?  Thats right...  I hate to tell you this, but the Leo's front, yeah the pointy end, has fallen off.    No, we had unloaded her a few days ago, so the charter was paid.

We had the crew bring their children on board and we put the bounce-house in the middle , and pop, snap, crackle!   The bounce-house saved them, but they blew away to Budapest.

Istanbul Freiddy thinks he can tape her back together with some industrial duct tape and we can sell her to someone else quick.

The anchor is the only thing that looks quite intact.

Not so shure about that. Looks like cardbored to me.

Wait! I want the buffer that they used.

Nice work.
