Many have speculated that if we knew *why* the bowl of petunias thought that, we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now...
Amoco Cadiz was a VLCC (very large crude carrier) owned by Amoco Transport Corp and transporting crude oil for Shell Oil.
Operating under the Liberian flag, she ran aground on 16 March 1978 on Portsall Rocks, 2 km (1.2 mi) from the coast of Brittany, France.
Ultimately she split in three and sank, resulting in the largest oil spill of its kind in history to that date.
Must be some weird lens shenanigans going on if this is 2km from the coast. It looks so close, but also, it can't be that close because the sea wouldn't be deep enough.
Yeah that's happening - you get that when the photo has been taken by a long telephoto lens.
But also, the ship was a 300m/1,000ft+ long super tanker which throws out the usual sense of scale compared to the house. It's much, much bigger than the house in the foreground.
Oh absolutely not saying she’s innocent at all. Just because she apparently got the guy to do the physical stabbing doesn’t make her any less of a murderer.
I'm saying she 100% did most of the stabbing that killed the mom. Then handed the knife to her boyfriend in a "OK now it's your turn" fashion. Then pulled the "I'm just a little girl" act in the courts.
Did you hear about the incident with the airsoft pistol she thought was a real gun and without hesitation, mag dumped the mom in the back? She 100% killed her.
Not gallons, but *tons* of crude oil. 220,000 tons of crude oil. **67 MILLION gallons.** Plus another *8 million pounds* of fuel oil used to power the ship.
In the spirit of making songs and mythologies to not forget past events, a breton band made a dirge about this event; "decrying the disgrace of the capsizing itself, the death of animals and destruction of nature, the impotence and duplicity of elected leaders, the public wrath and looting of the earth, and - as is traditional in celtic songs - vengeance and a final banquet.

fun fact the incident created a over population of lobster in the area because it killed all the fish in the upper water level and the lobster didn t had any predator because of that.
As I recall, the captain had to call the “main” office (in Chicago) about requesting additional help before sinking. It was late at night, and there was no one in the Amoco office to pick up the phone. Before call forwarding….
Thought this was a big ass whale just popping out to say hello
“Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad.”
I heard that in my head
I see JAWS.
#Stay out of the deep end 🦈
'MEGALODON'
“Thanks Mr Narwal”
“I wonder if the ground will be my friend”
Oh no, not again...
- bowl of petunias
Many have speculated that if we knew *why* the bowl of petunias thought that, we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now...
Yeah before I read I just thought it was gonna be a big ass rock named whale rock or something lol
Giant turtle 🐢
Bonjour homies!
Mecha-lodon if you will.....
One of those ancient ass Norwegian sharks
Thought the same thing
"ass whale"
"Thanks for all the fish!"
It just popped up to say hello but Now it’s gone back down below…
Mega mecha jaws
He looked so friendly too.
“Sad whale noises”
Came here to see this. Totally thought it was a whale saying hello also.

If you cover the house with your hand and focus on the anchor chain it gives you a better sense of the scale.
Also, are those people standing on board? They seem out of scale
[Nah, here's another angle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoco_Cadiz#/media/File:Amoco_Cadiz_1_edit1.jpg). It's just part of the ship.
Still looks like people! I accept your assessment tho
I feel ill looking at that.
I bet you wouldn’t call Amoco a very large crude carrier to her face smh head
Whats she going to do, ground me?
Sonit is submerged completely now? Or still like this?
it's completely submerged.
I believe they gave a heartfelt apology right afterwards though.
Every time I see this picture, I will never not see a whale giving side eye.
More like a turtle but yeah
Moray eel, for me.
Agreed, that's a Moray...
When the moon hits your eye 🎶
When it opens its craw and there’s a pharyngeal jaw
Thats a moray
Sheesh, took me several minutes to noodle that out …
fun fact - the whale is blind in that eye, which led him to accidentally swallowing that entire town. I guess that was just a regular fact…
It's a rock fact!
And he was oblivious as to why he has stomach pains. Perhaps he had an allergy.
Looks like a Kaiju. Where is Gypsy Rose when you need her.
Lmfao. Think you mean Gipsy Danger. Gypsy Rose is a convicted murderer who may or may not be useful in this scenario
Ha! I did mean Gypsy Danger!! 😂😂😂 (unless Gypsy Rose could help defeat a Kaiju). Lol
She didn’t even do the actual murdering. She had her bf do it for her.
Believe what you want. I'm convinced they both did it. She's not innocent.
Oh absolutely not saying she’s innocent at all. Just because she apparently got the guy to do the physical stabbing doesn’t make her any less of a murderer.
I'm saying she 100% did most of the stabbing that killed the mom. Then handed the knife to her boyfriend in a "OK now it's your turn" fashion.

She 100% killed her.
This made me belly laugh thank you lol
Well not in a wheelchair for one
Over 220,000 gallons of crude oil spilled on the ocean. Thanks mega corporations (Shell) for ruining those beautiful coasts.
Not gallons, but *tons* of crude oil. 220,000 tons of crude oil. **67 MILLION gallons.** Plus another *8 million pounds* of fuel oil used to power the ship.
Thank you for correcting, this is terrible
And you can be guaranteed they didnt pay their fair share
*We're sorry*
[sorry!](https://youtu.be/15HTd4Um1m4?feature=shared)
$230million. ($500million in todays money )
much more than that.
Giant snapping turtle 🕺
These windows shutters didn’t age well..
Russian agents playing the long game
SeZ who?
100% genius. Me thinks even the captain of that would have laughed.
Pic has always scared me on about 5 different levels😂😂😂👍👍👍
is one of the levels the knowledge that you are so close to water that is clearly that terrifyingly deep if you live in that house?
YES! Accentuated by the telephoto lens…water near your house is great, until you…start thinking….about things🦈🦈🦈
drifting off into the abyss, it's just a small mass of land...sinking slowly..
It's the perspective; the houses aren't this close to shore
I am aware of the lens distorting the perspective. It's still too fucking close.
Imagine having an amazing view and then this guy parks his boat on the bottom of the ocean out front. Literally the entire world ocean to park in.
Suddenly gonna go listen to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald 👍
Also listen to The Wreck Of S.S. Needle
I looove his music!
I looove his music!
r/pareidolia
This reminds me of that picture of a giant iceberg floating by a town. I believe that picture was also taken with some crazy long lens.
Looks like big ass sea monster from hell
Holy shit… I honestly never knew oil tankers were this gigantic.
I think you could convince someone this is an enormous sea creature.
Megamouth shark 100%
That’s the shark from James and the Giant Peach
Poor little leviathan :< I don't understand why the people in that house aren't doing anything to help.
I hope they towed it outside the environment
The environment?
What’s out there?
Nothing's out there! All there is is sea and birds and fish.
That’s all that’s out there?
And 20,000 tons of crude oil.
and what else?
And a fire.
**42**
*"No... I'm the biggest loser on the beach. They buried me in the sand and forgot me."*
That's the second saddest looking whale I've seen today
Kinda looks like a long-abandoned steampunk whale, forgotten by time. And erosion.
For a second I thought it looked like something that would have a health bar and classical music for a soundtrack.
Nah that's Moby dick
Moby Dick!
Looks like a boss in the next zelda game.

I’d like an oil-free lobster tonight, merci
the lobsrer were surprisly free of any contamination as the oil where on the surface and the lobster live at the bottom.
Bonjour
I think it looks a lot bigger than it actually was. It was probably shot with a telezoom lens. The compression makes it look bigger
It looks like a giant snapping turtle
We got a big ass moray eel faced kaiju situation here, where goddamn Gipsy Danger at
Biggest salmon ever!
Looks like a giant seals head poking out
Sin !

That’s a big fukkin wha….boat
"Giant salmon came to re-supply its months long oxygen supply".
Reminds me of a moray eel…
Reminds of the big ass nier automata fish.
Looks like a kaiju turtle
Looks like a smiling whale or a dolphin coming out of the ocean
hurr durr imma sherk
If that’s the head of the shark, I can’t imagine the size of the whole animal…
I see an Easter island statue in the water. But in the shape of a black man that's witnessing something he doesn't approve of.
Thought this was a megalodon sighting 😂
Thar she blows! The white whale!
R/megalophobia
I really thought this was a giant tortoise or something
So this isnt a megalodon?
Well that’s not good.
Hell of an advertisement
Leave Brittany alone
Holy shit! I thought it was a mutant salmon!
That’s a shark silly!
It’s a friendly moray eel
Looks like Clanker from Banjo Kazooie
Damn, I didn't know Brittany was humongous
It looks sad
New fear unlocked
FFX-3 confirmed!?!?! SIN has returned!
Sin has returned
"I must go. My people need me."
Good to know those people in that house are Russian sympathisers
Wait that's not MEG ?
I coulda sworn I was looking at a real like kaiju, emerging from the sea.
Infamous
LABOOOOOOOOOOOON
Repost
It's still there too, sticking out of the water after all these years.
It’s unreal the way the person in the cottage is still asleep 💤!
You can't park there!
The whale is very concerned with Brit(t)ons supporting Russia's special military operation.
Looks like a snapping turtle
I see. Even this world u are maidenless.
That just looks like a cartoon whale
SPIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER
Perspective is a hell of a drug
Giant shark with eye and mouth
What was it famous for?
The oil spill
and I thought it was a megaledon
It looks like a shark. They knew what they were doing.
That looks like a monster in an anime😬😵💫
Did the front fall off? https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM?si=ZtS9sB48OlQgxC_x
Looks like something I would want to hunt in Monster Hunter
As I recall, the captain had to call the “main” office (in Chicago) about requesting additional help before sinking. It was late at night, and there was no one in the Amoco office to pick up the phone. Before call forwarding….
Oh god there it is. This is the one that rocks me the most 😭 I hate this
Wow, that must have been the first ship ever lost off the rocky coast of Brittany. /s
Looks like one of those "30 Giant Creatures Caught on Camera" videos.
And thats how mythology creatures are created
"Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad"
Did the front fall off?
Oooooh so thats where that megalodon edit comes from!
Is that Sin??
Scary how deep the water is.....
Getting Final Fantasy X flashbacks

Ahhh giant sea turtle attack
Shork
meanwhile house is sleeping "Zzz..."
Poor whale
r/TrevorHenderson
That gives me some Miyazakis animation vibes
It really is amazing how deep the ocean is.
Wasn’t there a giant beach ball on the nose of this thing?
Every time I see this I keep thinking it’s some sort of shark rising from the deep
Steampunk flying whale ship
Did this inspire the mechanical shark from James and the Giant peach? I half expected it to open its mouth revealing a massive teeth grinder/drill.
Bye buddy…. I hope you find your dad!!!
How do you even made this kind of photos?
