A sneaky boat trying to hide was probably following a second sneaky boat that's trying to hide that's probably following the first sneaky boat and both doing it all mostly blind underwater. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often...then again, maybe it does and no one tells.

No, we're good for the time being. Remember, things happen in 3s.Perhaps they were distracted by debris falling from the two colliding satellites?
Odd, though, when you think about it. In the past month, we've had major news stories about mid-air collisions (Airbus vs. Canada Geese), Mid-Space collisions, and Mid-Ocean collisions.
What's next? A London Underground and a New York subway bashing into each other?
