The Navy Accidentally Bombed The Great Barrier Reef . . . Sort Of

Drop unarmed (non-explosive) bombs away from reef or risk hitting boats below at target range? Sounds like a no brainer to me. I guess it gives the media something to hyperventilate about.

 

Over-react much Senator? Being that the bombs weren't armed... it's equivalent to dropping 2k pounds worth of random payload. Replace her words with what happened...

Replaced version:

 

Freaking A, that's just what I was thinking!

Should they have landed with the bombs in there bellies and potentially blown up these men trying to train to do their job... which by the way is putting their life on the line to protect our way of living.

Holy Crap! What a load of nonsense to stir up the world.

 

you know you should be taking the main stream media with a grain of salt (and a shot of tequila) .

completely outta control!

I have also merged the two threads that have been started on this subject. No more politics please or this will be closed. Thanks.

 

Some kid from up north went crazy about this on RC. Dude it was 19 miles from the nearest reef, calm down. It got closed too.

 

Wow, this went a little south. I just wanted to share a small environmental story.

Sometimes we make bad decisions.

 

It more like "SOMEtimes Chris makes a good decision."

 

Haha agreed, just shut this thread down and remove.
