There's a great part at 3:30 where the little rib gets swamped. The bigger grey ship is sweet. During the first intercept, it goes from about 40kts to dead stopped in 1 boatlenght... talk about throwing on the brakes!

I couldn't enlarge the video, anybody know where there's a full-screen version of this chase:

wow the large grey police boat is pretty amazing. must be fun to pilot one. all the larger boats I've been able to grab a ride on or even pilot myself have been pigs.

 

Wow. Nice video. It's insane how fast that large boat stops and turns.

 

Unbelievable how that police boat handles/brakes/accels for something that big.

Those nitwits are lucky the cops stopped them with the boat and not bullets - could be terrorists masquerading as whale-huggers.

 

i always love the video where the russian guys are dropping oil drums on top of the greenpeace guys in thier speed-raft and flip it

 

this is the vid from the G8 summit in germany right?

i was watching bbc live when that happened and couldnt stop lauging, they forced one dingy onto another one it was like some sort of navy pit manuver :gay:

 

I've always loved watching the old films of them driving their Zodiac in front of a whaling ship armed with explosive harpoons, and wishing "Please, shoot! Just this once."

 

yeah, the one with the russians dropping nuclear waste onto their dingies and sinking them is sweet

(watch the helicopter crash, crazy ****)

 

wow that boat is a beast!!
