The Cargo Letter For July 3 2005 These Japan Defense Force photos show vapor billowing from rocks appearing above the sea near the area where a 1,000 meter high column of water vapor shot up in the Pacific Ocean, on July 3. The vapor was reported July 3, by Japanese troops stationed on the island, about 1,125km SE of Tokyo. There's an undersea volcano in the area known as Fukutokuoka-no-ba. It last erupted in 1986. Japan Coast Guard officials who flew over the area July 3 said the surface of the water appeared red, which could indicate underwater volcanic activity. Another survey found greyish mud rising from the the bottom. |

For a thousand years -- mariners have feared the iceberg -- and then -- 14 April 1912 -- when 1,517 people died in the disaster -- RMS Titanic From a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns, Newfoundland. The procedure is to divert the path of these mighty objects away from the oil rig by towing the icebergs with tugs. In this particular case the water was calm, & the sun was almost directly overhead so that the rig diver was able to get into the water & for this amazing picture. Clear water huh? Experts estimated the iceberg weight at 300,000,000 tons. And now we also can better understand why RMS Titanic sank! Feature Date: June 11 2005. Contributor For This Feature: (name removed to avoid embarrassment) [..... or have you?] June 17 2005 Update - After this photo was posted for 6 days, our reader Adrian Round pointed out the sad truth -- this photo is a hoax!As we are now told, "Global Marine Drilling does do work in the ocean off Newfoundland; there are Rig Managers involved; and icebergs really are towed in the offshore industry - but this 'photo' is really a composite of 4 separate images, put together in 1999 by underwater photographer Ralph A. Clevenger. It's probably best known from its use on a motivational poster put out by Successories, a company that produces posters and other materials with inspirational mottoes for use in business settings. Icebergs off Newfoundland may weigh as much as several million tons, but not 300 million tons as stated (though they do occasionally reach that weight in other parts of the world)." |
