Not sure about that one, but I bet this one was true

...That isn't Das Boot. It's black and white.

True or not, gotta love Sun's style: "The potential consequences are unthinkable. It’s very unlikely there would have been a nuclear explosion"

edit: Nevermind, and note to self: Learn to read. I read that "unlikely" as "likely", which changed the meaning of that sentence a little

Don't worry Fin, it still doesnt make much sense

It is kind of an odd paragraph structure.

You're right about that Aramike, and that's probably what got me at first. After the first part one would expect it to continue just as I read it at first.

As far as the collision itself is concerned, I remember the Finnish press reporting just a short while ago that the French "Le Triomphant" has collided with an unidentified object somewhere in the Atlantic. No word on British subs, and I haven't seen anything on that elsewhere either. Maybe we'll need to wait a few more days for the story to spread, should it be true.
