Quoting: m 1098286Sure boats sink all the time, but they always know when they are going down and issue an S.O.S. distress signal. The first thing that comes to mind is they either struck something, or they were sunk by other means without warning. I'm not ruling out that it wasn't an act war, due to the recent tension between the two Koreas. UNTIL we learn otherwise it is suspected. |

They had a big earthquake last week that caused a tidal wave.
I think there is a lot more going on in Antarctica that we are aware of, I got a feeling it is going to be ground zero for the earth changes. |
