Ady Gil was out of fuel????? You have got to be kidding.
The Ady Gil was out of fuel. They were waiting to be refueled by the Bob Barker. When it appeared evident that the Shonan Maru was aiming straight for them they tried to get out of the way (i'm quite sure they were in panic mode by then.) You cannot stage the aggression of another ship. There was no way to KNOW that the ship was going to run them over. The Ady, just sitting there was not an eminent threat to the Japanese, and there was no excuse for it.
I didn't think anyone had ever claimed that. Talk about being misinformed!
Uh, you are completely wrong. The Ady was out of fuel and dead in the water. They couldn't move out of the way. The Japanese boat clearly turned onto them with the intention of ramming them. Please, watch the various videos before making such a statement.
English is not my first language so please help by explaining what "The Ady was out of fuel and dead in the water." means.
Pete has formed his own group and that is great. The more conservationists organizations the better.
