Nothing is going wrong. It's the Troll oil production platform in the process of being towed to its operating site. The Troll was only lightly ballasted during transit and stuck out of the water by a few hundred feet--as in, it was extremely obvious to anyone in the area--but once on site was ballasted down such that much less of its superstructure was visible.
The message to the bridge-dwelling type of troll is that they should try a little harder to hide.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Just nitpicking but it is a GAS platform

Ha Lire has decided to post in third-person untill he is a padawan. He hopes you have a nice day. He also asks you not to taunt him. You may also kick him if he messes it up.
Could someone give me the web address of a free server so that I canupload my pics? I've got some good ones.
If you meet these historians I'll tell you what to say
tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies.
And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies.
