Cruiseliner Sinks After Iceberg Crash
Updated:02:11, Saturday November 24, 2007

A cruise ship has sunk in the icy waters of the Antarctic Ocean, hours after scores of tourists were rescued from it.


They had paid thousands of pounds to explore one of the world's most inaccessible areas, but were forced to abandon the ship after it struck an iceberg.

The Canadian ship Explorer has now completely sunk, according to the Chilean navy.

"Our units in the area aren't seeing anything," a navy spokesman said. "The Explorer is not visible any longer."

Yikes, that's awful!! At least (by the sounds of it) everyone was rescued though..

Can you imagine that sound of the screeching metal under the deck?

wait a second... They were saved by the chillean navy? What about our own Canadian navy? Where were they? lol

A little far away from Antarctica.. LOL.. Its on the other side of the globe from The Arctic which our navy patrols. Would take our navy days to get down there. Go look at a map.. LOL.. CANADA and ANTARCTICA. Note the differences.

why the smart a** comment??

id hardly say it was a canadian titanic, it was a adventure tour group that everyone escaped from unharmed, it took the boat over 2 days to sink and it was a polish adventure boat doing the same tour that rescued them,

lol i just read thier article and it was a wopping -5, i think it was minus 10 while i was out side working for 10 hours on thursday.

My question is will the customers have to pay extra for the ABANDON SHIP EXCURSION?

Mwaaa ha ha.

That kind of sucks....though, I live for those types of experiences. I love having a good story to tell, lol. I'd pay extra for the "Abandon Ship Excursion" any day of the week! And hey...free trip to Chile.
