Default Video of attempt to blow up the Napoli

Here's a video from the bbc site of the latest attempt to salvage the stricken SS Napoli, by separating it in two with explosive charges. I could do a much better job with a single torp . Still goes to show how much gunishment these ships can take

Video may only run in IE

They're doing it because the ship was to fragile to move in it's current state
