This is a really beautiful photo

Now you know why the Titianic sank! This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns Newfoundland.

They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships!

Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm & the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and click this pic. Clearwater huh?!

They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.

(And now we also know why they say one picture is worth 1000 words)
