livingbygrace 320 Posted August 19 14 minutes ago, The Old Crem said: This will be one that runs and runs forever. I agree. Know it is not the same but this reminds me of the Natalie Wood Boating Mystery in that we probably will never be able to get the entire truth about it. Only speculations.

En Passant 3,741 Posted August 20 In other news Hewlett Packard are heard to be considering a corporate name change. A source at the company says this has no connection with social media posts suggesting HP actually stands for Hit People. All news sources reporting Chamberlains confirmed death now. Survival chances for a 59 year old missing at sea for around 24 hours are single digit or less (well, if AI LLM can be trusted anyway). I suspect none of them will be found alive now - but I'll save the rips until that's confirmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted August 20 8 hours ago, Spade_Cooley said: Conspiracy theorists feasting. Well yeah, but we have to start with thinking of people so cynical that the collateral damage in creating a death is not a worry. Plenty others on that boat. Eye-witness testimony on Lynch's death dissapearance blames freak weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comped 526 Posted August 20 17 hours ago, Thatcher said: Mike Lynch is missing after his yacht sunk off the coast of Sicily. Surely he (and the rest of the missing in this incident) are dead by now, or in the next few hours? Survival chances at this point are so low that they're nearly impossible, assuming they even had proper safety equipment available when the incident happened!

Indeed, if it's the second one then Black Rock can influence drivers on east anglian roads (because whilst the police are appealing for witnesses they're not saying hit and run, so they likely know who hit him), and freak weather in the Med Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackrock isn't as powerful or important as you think it is. And I don't think either of those institutions have the power to summon a waterspout whatever they want.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted August 20 While I accept it's sad and a freak disaster, I don't have a huge amount of tragedy for a superyacht sinking in the Med. It apparently had a 72.5m mast, which was the second largest in the world when it was produced (might still be, superyachts aren't my forte funnily enough). Today, the experts are saying the height of the mast may have made the effects of the storm worse, which is something I'd already figured out yesterday. The bigger the stick in the air, the more of the wind it will catch and the more severe the effects will be. Turns out this particular penis enlargement may have cost him his life. Shame. As for the coincidence, God works in mysterious ways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
