Five people have tragically died and 32 are injured after a wall of rock collapsed on top of tourist boats below a waterfall in Brazil. A tower of rocks suddenly broke away from the canyon wall and came crashing down on several leisure boats, sending out a huge wave over in Furnas Lake, near Capitólio, The Sun reports. Video images showed a gathering of small boats moving slowly near the sheer rock cliff on Furnas Lake when a fissure appeared in the rock and a huge piece toppled directly onto at least two of the vessels. At least one wrecked boat sank, others sped away. Firemen, including divers, said they were searching for 20 people believed to be missing. The people hurt in the accident had broken bones and one was in serious condition in hospital with head and facial injuries.... ID: 2091765 · Reply Quote

Attorneys for Activision argue EO’s cheating exploits are nothing more than illegal software hacks that disturb the competitive balance of the game, driving players to quit and publicly bash the game on social media.

So it took passengers to the Bahamas. A cruise ship heading to Miami changed course to the Bahamas Saturday after a US judge issued an arrest warrant for the ship due to unpaid fuel bills. If the Crystal Symphony had continued course to Miami, it would have been seized by authorities. So it headed to Bimini instead, as USA Today first reported. The ship is still docked at the Bahama port, according to a cruise ship tracker. The saga began Wednesday, when Peninsula Petroleum Far East filed a lawsuit in a South Florida federal court against Crystal Cruises, alleging it owed unpaid fuel bills totaling more than $4.6 million — of which $1.2 million is for Crystal Symphony specifically. On Thursday, a US judge issued an arrest warrant ahead of the ship's scheduled Saturday arrival in Miami, meaning the ship would be seized by a US Marshal and court-appointed custodian. Crystal Cruises said about 300 passengers were transferred by ferry on Sunday from Bimini, Bahamas, to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In a statement to the Associated Press, a spokesperson said that the ferry ride to Fort Lauderdale was "uncomfortable due to inclement weather." "This end to the cruise was not the conclusion to our guests' vacation we originally planned for," the cruise line said in a statement.... I wonder what the passengers thought of that cruising experience. Cheers. ID: 2092840 · Reply Quote

Not quite the ending to a trip I would have wanted. I guess now the passengers, being mostly Americans, will be sharpening their own lawyers to get compensation for their disrupted holidays. Further, can an International Arrest Warrant be issued for a ship in this sort of case? Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

The crew have a fairly solid defence (below captain and navigation officer), but the cruise line are in for some very stormy waters.
