Be useful for flying from London Luton to London Stanstead
They used to have G-LINK between Gatwick & Heathrow. It stopped when it's licence was revoked. If they've solved the pollution and noise problems it might be a good way forward. Think they'd need to up the capacity quite a bit though, if it's ever to be something more than a rich person's toy.

The Sinclair C5 never really got off the ground. Doubt this will either 😉

A cargo ship has collided with an oil tanker in the North Sea off East Yorkshire. 32 casualties reported and both vessels appear to be on fire. This could be a huge disaster for the environment.

Hopefully won't be. All tankers these days, certainly in the western world, are double hull. This should mean there is not a massive oil spill into The North Sea. However, as far as I can tell, no details have been released.

It's been reported that the tanker was carrying jet fuel. The tv pictures look pretty bad.
The east coast has some very important wildlife sites, so we must hope that they will not be affected. Not much has been said about the container ship's cargo, hopefully not hazardous goods.

Accidents happen from time to time. More importantly all crew seem to be ok

0 casualties reported, one person in hospital.
What is he or she doing in hospital then?
Just on a trip out to have a wander about the place when she's supposed to be working from home

Good to see you can joke about someone who is in hospital...Sick if you excuse the pun. I hope they recover whoever it is.

The joke isn't about the individual, it's about the idea that there can be no casualties at the same time as a hospitalisation. Oh, and it's also a joke about how silly the things you post are, which you've added to magnificently here. Thank you for that.

Thought you might diversify and try and move the sick joke about someone who is in hospital. It's not funny and you should be ashamed of yourself.. And your cruel jibe referencing WFH. That has nothing to do with what happened.

I wrote that post whilst watching live coverage on tv. At that time they were reporting 32 casualties. Look at the time stamp on my post.

Of course it's good that the crew are OK, but it may still be a disaster for the environment. The East coast has some very important nature reserves, at a time when nature is struggling, it does not need accidents like this. There is large gannet colony not far away. The Wash is internationally important for birds and the Norfolk Coast is important for seals, which currently have pups.
'It was carrying 15 containers of sodium cyanide among other cargo, according to a report from maritime data provider Lloyd's List Intelligence', that sounds very nasty.
Sodium cyanide is highly toxic and can have devastating effects on marine ecosystems. When it enters the sea, it dissolves and releases cyanide ions, which are harmful to aquatic life. Here are some of the potential impacts:
Marine Life Mortality: Cyanide poisoning can cause immediate death in fish and other marine organisms by interfering with their ability to use oxygen.
Coral Reef Damage: Cyanide is sometimes used in illegal fishing practices to stun fish, but it also kills coral reefs, which are vital habitats for many marine species.
Ecosystem Disruption: The death of key species can lead to imbalances in the ecosystem, affecting food chains and biodiversity.
Long-Term Effects: Cyanide can persist in the environment, leading to prolonged exposure and harm to marine life.
