I saw this eariler but this quote is crazy...

"The ship ran into some ice. It was submerged ice and the result was a hole about the size of a fist in the side of the hull so it began taking on water ... but quite slowly," said Susan Hayes of G.A.P. Adventures of Toronto, which owns the stricken MS Explorer."

How the fuck does a hole the size of a fist sink a boat that big? I thought all boats that big had to have water tight sections that could be sealed off.
