When you think about it it's actually a moral imperative that we get the Yellowstone supervolcano to erupt as quickly as possible.

Yacht sinks after being rammed by orcas in Strait of Gibraltar

A sailing yacht has sunk in Moroccan waters in the Strait of Gibraltar after being rammed by an unknown number of orcas, Spain's maritime rescue services said.

Two people onboard the vessel, Alboran Cognac, were rescued by a passing oil tanker, after the incident at 0900 local time (0800 BST) on Sunday.

It is the latest in a series of orca rammings of vessels around the Strait of Gibraltar over the past four years.

..................

Experts believe them to involve a subpopulation of about 15 orcas given the designation "Gladis".

The research group GTOA, which tracks the population of the Iberian orca sub-species, has documented nearly 700 interactions involving the species, since the attacks were first reported in May 2020.

i don't think even a goon could overturn a canoe by flopping themselves into from the water. how are orcas doing it with a much bigger weight differential. it seems like there is something we can learn from orcas.

The hull of most yachts is going to be a couple layers of ~1/4" fiberglass with either a balsa or foam core. If I had as fat a head as an orca, I'd bet that I could do better than a dent.

their thing for killing whales and sharks and seals is to just hit them as hard as they can at full speed, to crack rib cages and break spines and stuff

and they do coordinated wave-creation in the arctic to tip over ice sheets with seals on them

They hit the vessel in a synchronized rhythm that gradually rocks it further and further. They're basically exploiting the idea of driven oscillations.

Have any oligarchs put a hit out on this subpopulation of fifteen "problematic" orcas? If not, why not?

Opted for a carbon offset for my car rental this weekend. Only 75 cents to mitigate the damage from driving 400 miles. At this rate the planet will be saved in no time :dumb:
