Damn 400.000 barrels of oil burning... thats going to leave a stain. It's way to similar to the Cole bombing. [ 10-06-2002, 09:10 AM: Message edited by: Jorath Calar ] |

Awg, "terrorism" is a popular term nowadays. If this happened a few years ago, no one would even have mentioned the word in the first place.

If the original French report is true, it would obviously be terrorism. Maybe it was an over-reaction on the part of the French Embassy officials, but how was the media suppose to report what was said by them? There's been an accidental bombing?

hmm I wouldn't take the possiblity of terrorism too seriously until there is undeniable proof, most things llike this happen because of some unforseen human error or act of nature...

[/QUOTE]Nah, that's not what I mean... I mean that the entire article would have been written from a very different perspective a few years back, or at least it wouldn't get the same media attention as it does now. There's still a good possibility it's "just" an accident. [ 10-06-2002, 05:09 PM: Message edited by: Grojlach ]

I was just kidding you a bit!
As far a this type of story not being big news 2 years ago, you're probably right, but the world has changed, and this type incident is frightening, no matter what your nationality. Certainly "terrorism" is in the news, now more than ever, but it isn't really surprising. [ 10-06-2002, 05:31 PM: Message edited by: Ronn_Bman ]

True, but there's a difference between a huge frontpage news article with the heading "OMG TERRORIST ATTACK!!!!!!!1" and a small page 11 article with the heading "explosion on ship - cause still unknown"; that was basically my point. Oh well, we'll see what the real cause of the accident was soon enough. [img]smile.gif[/img]
